Fortnite Adds A Shark Skin And Items, Probably To Celebrate "Shark Week"

<p>Ahh, that special time of year where we think about sharks more than we normally do. July 22 marks the start of "Shark Week," which is a block of TV programming themed around sharks. Presumably to celebrate the occasion, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/fortnite/">Fortnite</a> has added some new shark-themed items. </p><p>These include a "Chomp Sr." outfit (2,000 V-Bucks) and the "Chomp Jr. pickaxe (1,500 V-Bucks). There is also a new emote called "On The Hook," (500 V-Bucks) which shows your character reeling in a fish (or a shark, I guess) and then showing it off with a smile on your face. All of the items are cosmetic in nature only, just like everything else in the game.</p><div data-embed-type="tweet" data-src="https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1020820759671918592"><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-mce-disable-toolbar="true"><p dir="ltr">New fin-tastic outfits in the Item Shop now! <a href="https://t.co/b4fL8tz4yp">pic.twitter.com/b4fL8tz4yp</a></p> — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) <a href="https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1020820759671918592?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">July 22, 2018</a></blockquote><text></text></div><div data-embed-type="tweet" data-src="https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1021183445752565760"><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-mce-disable-toolbar="true"><p dir="ltr">Reel in the victory with the On the Hook emote ? <br /><br />Available in the Item Shop now! <a href="https://t.co/kbErxycuDJ">pic.twitter.com/kbErxycuDJ</a></p> — Fortnite (@FortniteGame) <a href="https://twitter.com/FortniteGame/status/1021183445752565760?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">July 23, 2018</a></blockquote><text></text></div><p>Believe it or not, this year marks the 30th anniversary of Discovery Channel's "Shark Week" event.
