Skins

**Skins** are a cosmetic game element. They are spread around the Map in many different Crates and types of places, and they also can be acquired from Passes and Loot Boxes. Nearly all Skins are entirely cosmetic. Although they give no effect, certain skins can give a slight camouflage advantage and a few give a huge advantage like the Ghillie Suit. While some can give the player a large advantage, other skins are bright and stand out which may put you at a disadvantage.

## Strategies

* Because it is the same color as the grass, the Ghillie Suit is extremely effective for hiding outside.
	+ Camo outfits are colored similarly to grass, so they are also acceptable for hiding under trees and bushes.
	+ Some miscellaneous outfits may blend in with the interiors of certain buildings, including the Arctic Avenger and Carbon Fiber which camouflage in the Hydra Bunker, and certain other areas.
	+ You can still see the ghillie, but it is very hard to tell the difference, and most likely will hurt your eyes.
* The Target Practice suit can be used as a challenge to survive due to the eye-catching bright red will attract other survivrs to target you, although in the Red Zone you can blend in.
* Skins are all about looking good, and you can play well with any skin, so pick one you like to wear, whether it's bright or rare. It's all preference, so choose what fits you!

## Trivia

* The skins that have lore connected to them in the code can mean that they will be included with the Loadouts Skin selection.

	+ The Neo Noir also means "New Black" in Latin.
* Prior to v0.2.2,
* The Ghillie Suit is the only skin to have its equipment hidden. This is meant for camouflage. In the real-life ghillie suit, the equipment will still be hidden because the foliage would hide it.
	+ However, the Pan isn’t hidden when on the player’s back unlike in real life.
	+ Prior to v0.8.3 the Ghillie had several variants that also shared this property but now it changes color based on the map, rendering their existence obsolete.
* The skins Tarkhany Regal and Valiant Pineapple can be found in the code, which until the "**If a bunker opens in a forest ...**" update, was unobtainable.
* The Spookiversary events and the 2018 Easter event are currently the only events where the skins are obstacles which the player becomes, hiding all equipment wearing said skins.
