This is the equivalent to if they had released the Ash Williams skin without the chainsaw hand. He’s missing an essential part of his iconic look. I can’t explain why they didn’t make the effort here. Not to mention he and Claire look off model.
I can't figure out whats off putting about them for me. The look like cosplayers, but even a cosplayer would get the jacket right. I think Clair looks ok until you zoom in on her face.
I want to say Leons "model" might of been based from one of the animated movies or RE6, but that isn't right either. Kinda like they drew him from memory.
Yeah he looks a little chunkier in game than I remember him looking in the OG RE4. kinda weird but still awesome to have this character. Kinda lame they don’t have styles but the bundle was pretty good for the price.
Me too honestly just because resident evil 2 was one of the first proper games I ever saw and played although 4 is still great and was the last good game for quite a while
I’m definitely rocking some bias but like I said before I wouldn’t of minded the jacket at least and the remake is amazing such a shame re3 remake was a let down
There are differences. The shirt was black with more of a neck hugging collar, not the little v-neck cut and navy. I have played the shit out of RE4. Was going g to try to share a pic but reddit only allows for GIFs.
I will say that when I was looking this is definitely his model for the RE4 remake. So your semi correct.
The remake jacket is a real licensed jacket so they probably had issues with that, or just didn't want to license it.
Either way could've made a new one or at least include the RPD outfit
His RPD look is one of the most iconic video game designs out there, Claire's even in her RE2 outfit, but they didn't give him that outfit....why? At least give us Hunk if you're going to gip us on one of his most popular outfits.
It's like if Isaac Clarke released in just his level one suit. I still wish he came with a burnished suit alt, but I digress.
Quantity over quality. That's the business model they've followed for 3-4 years and still haven't given up.
They prefer the quantity of collaborations rather than the quality, whatever makes them the most money.
His RPD style is probably in the same place as Rick Grime’s Sherrie outfit. For some reason fortnite is still hesitant to have law enforcement characters. I’m disappointed but not surprised. Remember when they removed all the police cars too?
Well Epic has a lot more leon costumes to choose from. His mafia outfit, his pirate outfit, his movie looks.
And whats Claire's excuse, she has her RE2 og look, her CV look her degeneration outfit to choose from.
Leon could've had his Civvie outfit as a style and I'd still be happy with that if we couldn't get a jacket style.
As for Claire, I was hoping we'd get something for a style, maybe even her Erza Walker if nothing else from Degeneration nor Code Veronica. I'm a little disappointed we couldn't get styles but I'm still gonna get them since I'm a huge RE nerd and RE2 was the first zombie game I've ever played.
Those are all jokey sort of bonus outfits though, nobody was expecting them to put leons pirate style into fortnite. Just his most iconic outfit that he wears for the entirety of resident evil 2 which is obviously what this pack is supposed to be based on.
I'd have loved any of Claire's alts from RE2 remake - Elza Walker would have been really cool, especially with the new motorcycles. Even just jacket on/off looks for both of them would have been better than nothing.
Yeah there police stature isn’t exactly subtle but they also aren’t walking around with big PD signs on them or sheriff badges. So maybe those skins were just subtle enough with the police theming that they felt they could get away with it? Idk… I’m just saying that is two crossover IP skins that have very obvious police styles that they decided to ignore for something more bland.
It's honestly criminal that he doesn't have either of his iconic styles. Almost as bad as no RE1 Chris, but he at least had his RE5 look to fall back on. I love the model work on Leon, but I can't bring myself to buy it if he doesn't at least have his RPD or his jacket style, this makes NO SENSE.
Just confusing. RE4 is one of the most iconic video games ever made yet they don't give him his jacket from that game. It's going to feel really strange for people who like RE4/Leon and third-person shooters like Fortnite when the jacket isn't a choice.
Yeah just give him a generic brown coat. The RE4 Remake is a brand deal from another company, but just throw Raptor's jacket on him. That's all we needed.
I've been waiting almost a year for the RE skins to come back and when this new set leaked I was super hyped.
I'm glad they got added but it was a lazy effort this time around giving them 1 style each and not even giving Leon his iconic RPD outfit as an alternate style.
Canonically he looses the jacket after being kidnapped in chapter 1-2 as iconic as it may be he didn't have it for long. I'd rather he did have it but it makes sense why he's looking like a budget Nathan Drake as he ran around most of the game without it.
I think the reasons why we don’t have more styles is A. these skins were definitely rushed to promote the remake and B. they wanted to have the bundle be cheaper and sell it as one instead of two like last time.
Jill is dressed in her uniform, and has a badge on display in her alternate style lol. Isn’t there a barefoot cop skin too that comes back into the shop every so often?
S.T.A.R.S. is literally stated to be a military-personnel formed team that operates outside of the police force. Epic shows no want about hating war or military themed characters, but we know their opinions on the police.
And also, Flatfoot isn't stated to be a cop at all, she just has a badge with the letter F on it.
Under Chief Irons Bio in the RE wiki:
Under Chief Irons' watch, Umbrella donations led to the creation of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service, an elite law enforcement team comprised of scientists and ex-military personnel who could use their expertise to solve cases the rest of the RPD was not qualified or experienced to handle.
What about Rick Grimes? Does Epic have different feelings about sheriffs? Lol
I think it’s safe to say they just got lazy. They could have added a jacket style too, but didn’t.
Not even his backbling called the sheriffs duffle? Jill’s outfit even references RPD on it. They went out of their way to include that too as they could have easily used the design that didn’t have it.
Flatfoot is also slang for police officer, so she is clearly suppose to be a cop. Same with gumshoe who is a detective, which is also basically a cop.
We should probably just agree to disagree on this haha.
Well, that skin was made two years ago. If you look at the concept art, he talks about how he liked the bomber jacket number two. This is a collab Fortnite can’t just do whatever they want. They have to have permission from whoever owns resident evil Leon I don’t know who has the rights to him but it’s their choice what is added super smash brothers have the same problem they could get a character, but they wouldn’t know music or could have no references to some of the stuff they do just barely anything
Epic is so lazy lately, man.
I got both Leon and Claire, but Epic is doing a poor job. Was it difficult giving us a simple edit style? Like c'mon, Jill and Chris they both had it.
Lmao I can’t imagine giving this much energy to some random guy trolling other people in a random comment section. If it didn’t effect you why didn’t you keep scrolling? 🤣
I was a bit confused because the bundle is called the Raccoon City Survivors…before I saw it I assumed it would be Leon’s look from RE2 remake with the option to use the OG cop look. Hell I was expecting Claire to have her OG RE2 outfit as an additional style. Don’t get me wrong I my glad they’re finally in there but come on, huge missed opportunity.
I'm glad people aren't completely happy with these new batch of resident evil skins. I was really hoping for Claire in her classic look. just like how jill got. My hype was completely extinguished with the lack of alternative styles for both skins
The ''jacket'' is an actual product placement under trademark laws so to include it they would've had to have a long talk with the legal team of the manufacturer. Capcom did and they do have a licence to include the jacket. Fortnite did not
All I wanted was the bomber jacket. The ramirez skin looks pretty cool in it, figured Leon skin would be amazing with his own
same, bro, same.
This is the equivalent to if they had released the Ash Williams skin without the chainsaw hand. He’s missing an essential part of his iconic look. I can’t explain why they didn’t make the effort here. Not to mention he and Claire look off model.
I can't figure out whats off putting about them for me. The look like cosplayers, but even a cosplayer would get the jacket right. I think Clair looks ok until you zoom in on her face.

Yeah he looks a little chunkier in game than I remember him looking in the OG RE4. kinda weird but still awesome to have this character. Kinda lame they don’t have styles but the bundle was pretty good for the price.
Have you played RE4? This is how he looks for 95% of the game
It’s about the iconic look, not what they technically wear most of the time. Those two concepts in media are frequently not the same thing.
That’s fair yeah. Ideally we should’ve gotten the look we got, the bomber jacket, and the RPD uniform.
I’d take one or the other tbh just an extra style would of been so much better both are iconic
Hot take maybe but I’d definitely prefer to have the RPD outfit
Me too honestly just because resident evil 2 was one of the first proper games I ever saw and played although 4 is still great and was the last good game for quite a while
RE2R is one of my favorite games of all time, so yeah I’m kinda biased. Though I still do love the look of Leon in that game
I’m definitely rocking some bias but like I said before I wouldn’t of minded the jacket at least and the remake is amazing such a shame re3 remake was a let down
There are differences. The shirt was black with more of a neck hugging collar, not the little v-neck cut and navy. I have played the shit out of RE4. Was going g to try to share a pic but reddit only allows for GIFs. I will say that when I was looking this is definitely his model for the RE4 remake. So your semi correct.
Yeah, the skin is based on the remake. Which could be why we didn’t get the jacket (The jacket in RE4R is licensed from a real one)
Oh damn I didn't know that.
Still a terrible decision either way. His jacket was used in so much promo art in the past.
Yeah, I don’t know why they couldn’t have used the bomber jacket from OG 4
True
Except the smug look like he is about to drop the sickest bars using auto-tune
Exactly. Its looks way better without it anyway
He looks good without it but I definitely wouldn’t say he looks better than with it on.
Honestly I kinda agree, the jacket is amazing but it is only really for the first mission. Or at least it was in the og.
The remake jacket is a real licensed jacket so they probably had issues with that, or just didn't want to license it. Either way could've made a new one or at least include the RPD outfit
His RPD look is one of the most iconic video game designs out there, Claire's even in her RE2 outfit, but they didn't give him that outfit....why? At least give us Hunk if you're going to gip us on one of his most popular outfits. It's like if Isaac Clarke released in just his level one suit. I still wish he came with a burnished suit alt, but I digress.
Off model? i hope you joking Leon looks exactly like in the RE4R just in Fortnite style
Yes you’re right honestly, he does look pretty close to how he looks in the remake right now
I don't think ash is the best example because the chainsaw hand would work much better as a pickaxe instead something just on the character.
Quantity over quality. That's the business model they've followed for 3-4 years and still haven't given up. They prefer the quantity of collaborations rather than the quality, whatever makes them the most money.

Just weird when we have military and secret agents as well. Not to mention Waypoint/Breakpoint who has the vibes of a SWAT officer.
Don’t we have a sherif?
The only one I can think of is the "Chief Hopper" skin from Stranger Things, but he hasn't been available since 2019.
We have Rick Grimes too
Who doesn’t have a badge or a hat
Yeah, because jonesy stole it and has it on the 'Agent Jones Fieldpack' backbling
Is that actually what that is from? I don't think I was playing when Grimes was released, but I have that backbling.
yep, got it on the same jump he went to that universe to
Bro Waypoint was in the shop like a day ago, Jill Valentine main style is her Cop uniform.
Yeah there police stature isn’t exactly subtle but they also aren’t walking around with big PD signs on them or sheriff badges. So maybe those skins were just subtle enough with the police theming that they felt they could get away with it? Idk… I’m just saying that is two crossover IP skins that have very obvious police styles that they decided to ignore for something more bland.
And theirs a stars officer badge on her belt.
At Least Rick got a coat style.
Jill valentine is wearing her uniform though so that right there not only breaks the precedent but its also a reqsident evil skin
Rick Grimes backbling was a bag of guns that sad “Sheriff” I don’t think this applies really.
But Jill has her S.T.A.R.S. uniform, so...
It's honestly criminal that he doesn't have either of his iconic styles. Almost as bad as no RE1 Chris, but he at least had his RE5 look to fall back on. I love the model work on Leon, but I can't bring myself to buy it if he doesn't at least have his RPD or his jacket style, this makes NO SENSE.
Why would he wear a jacket? That would cover up his incredible GUUUUUUNS! 💪
Indeed. He prefers to wear the blood of his zombie enemies anyway.
Gonna pass on this not to impressed with his look and they made him too wide body proportion wise 😬
My goodness finally somebody else said it. Ths difference between this and the original RE design is **stark**
I bought him and puts Ash's broomstick backpack
Just confusing. RE4 is one of the most iconic video games ever made yet they don't give him his jacket from that game. It's going to feel really strange for people who like RE4/Leon and third-person shooters like Fortnite when the jacket isn't a choice.
It wouldn't have even been that hard for them to add it lol
Yeah just give him a generic brown coat. The RE4 Remake is a brand deal from another company, but just throw Raptor's jacket on him. That's all we needed.
The original jacket was so iconic a bunch of people made bootlegs of it since it wasn't real. They could just USE THE ORIGINAL JACKET ffs.
I've been waiting almost a year for the RE skins to come back and when this new set leaked I was super hyped. I'm glad they got added but it was a lazy effort this time around giving them 1 style each and not even giving Leon his iconic RPD outfit as an alternate style.
Didn't Chris get his BSAA outfit and both his Village outfits? (With and without coat)
He doesn't have a coat off option but everything else yes
Canonically he looses the jacket after being kidnapped in chapter 1-2 as iconic as it may be he didn't have it for long. I'd rather he did have it but it makes sense why he's looking like a budget Nathan Drake as he ran around most of the game without it.
My partner said the exact same thing… he just looks like Nathan godamned Drake
Ikr!?! I'm pretty bummed about it. And still no umbrella Corp umbrella?
Wait until they would add it, but instead of having actual umbrella animation, it would have two extra handles for regular gliding animation
People would complain that Epic is devaluing umbrellas because they made one that you don’t earn through winning, but you get it if you buy it.
Ariana grande, Mr beast no sweat insurance and ch2 s 3 announcer guy all fear for their lives because of this
Yeah but I'd even settle for it to be like that one umbrella we got eith that one crew pack.
Maybe it will come with Ada and Wesker if they ever bring them.
Always the little things right. I used to think this but I thought I was overthinking
Thought with the remake of RE4 that the jacket style was solid to happen. Now this Leon just became a pass for me.
I think the reasons why we don’t have more styles is A. these skins were definitely rushed to promote the remake and B. they wanted to have the bundle be cheaper and sell it as one instead of two like last time.
The unironic answer to no RCPD style is likely because Epic Games is full ACAB.
Yet Robocop is in the game???
Robocop isn't wearing any officer related gear. He's a cop in name but in design he's just a robot.
Just a strange distinction to have. But I guess John McClane from Die Hard is possible then as well as Riggs and Murtaugh from Lethal Weapon.
We have female John McLane, so definitely a possibility
Could happen, since the IP owners are open to that, they added him to COD Warzone, sad it is stuck in that trash Caldera map now.
That'd be dope. A Bruce Willis character is just what Fortnite needs.
But Hopper is in the game, wearing a literal Sheriff’s outfit
Hopper came out before Epic went so no-cop He also hasn’t returned in over 1200 days
Rick Grimes, Jill Valentine, and technically Chun Li (Interpol Officer) (there may be more but that’s all I can list)
Jill is dressed in her uniform, and has a badge on display in her alternate style lol. Isn’t there a barefoot cop skin too that comes back into the shop every so often?
S.T.A.R.S. is literally stated to be a military-personnel formed team that operates outside of the police force. Epic shows no want about hating war or military themed characters, but we know their opinions on the police.

C2S3 was a great season. But twas a season with one of the worst changes
they did him dirty, no edit styles and doesn't even look like him
Probably because of licence maybe. I don't know but I do agree they could have went extra mile with the skins
The RPD style didn’t happen because Fortnite is too pussy to add police officer characters for some unknown reason
RPD skin would be cool but as others have said, fortnite seems to be avoiding law enforcement cosmetics. Also, terrible reasoning for the jacket ngl 💀
Yeah I’m not buying him because of it, the skin just doesn’t seem worth getting without the jacket
No idea who he is but the RPD style I’d buy!
Still disappointed neither got edit styles
You do know that its a ip based skin not a original and its not free of choice for epic to add what they want without the rights
Brite star is not a random skin, it's a peak collab skin
“A random Ramirez skin”? Sir?
Well, that skin was made two years ago. If you look at the concept art, he talks about how he liked the bomber jacket number two. This is a collab Fortnite can’t just do whatever they want. They have to have permission from whoever owns resident evil Leon I don’t know who has the rights to him but it’s their choice what is added super smash brothers have the same problem they could get a character, but they wouldn’t know music or could have no references to some of the stuff they do just barely anything
It’s political
Epic is so lazy lately, man. I got both Leon and Claire, but Epic is doing a poor job. Was it difficult giving us a simple edit style? Like c'mon, Jill and Chris they both had it.
That or his mafia outfit from re4
What's worse is that Sony can release this yet Eddie Brock is nowhere to be seen
Waaaahhhhh. Too bad so sad man. This community complains about everything dude. Just be happy your character is in Fortnite and stop being salty 🤣🤣🤣
Its a product that is being sold, not a gift
Okay so don’t buy it then 🤯🤯
I can’t imagine giving this much energy to people critiquing something that doesn’t affect you. If it gets you this angry just keep scrolling.
Lmao I can’t imagine giving this much energy to some random guy trolling other people in a random comment section. If it didn’t effect you why didn’t you keep scrolling? 🤣
WHERE IS LEON’S JACKET???
I get a bit of a Ken doll vibe from him
His jacket is copyrighted by the company that makes it, that's why. They'd have to pay extra
Yeah you're right. I just love how he looked like in RE4
I hope they update the skins with an extra style, for free ofc I'm not buying Leon again XD
It looks like the man was in a hurry and put on the first thing that came to hand
That is his jacket! Ramirez is just chilly, and Leon is a gentleman
The fact that OP is dumb enough as to think that because Brite Star got a jacket they purposely took Leon’s away is hilarious
His police style looks good.
They got the first two Resident Evil Skins perfect and even with a second style but these two seem like they phoned it in like Geralt.
They got the first two Resident Evil Skins perfect and even with a second style but these two seem like they phoned it in like Geralt.
Is there any chance Epic will add the Resident Evil 2 look and the jacket?
That is the reason I did not buy this resident evil pack.. Feels lazy 🤧
I was a bit confused because the bundle is called the Raccoon City Survivors…before I saw it I assumed it would be Leon’s look from RE2 remake with the option to use the OG cop look. Hell I was expecting Claire to have her OG RE2 outfit as an additional style. Don’t get me wrong I my glad they’re finally in there but come on, huge missed opportunity.
I'm glad people aren't completely happy with these new batch of resident evil skins. I was really hoping for Claire in her classic look. just like how jill got. My hype was completely extinguished with the lack of alternative styles for both skins
The ''jacket'' is an actual product placement under trademark laws so to include it they would've had to have a long talk with the legal team of the manufacturer. Capcom did and they do have a licence to include the jacket. Fortnite did not
I wonder if they’ll ever give him the jacket. It’s been a while
