How To Get the Throwback BG Skin in Fortnite

In the wide world of Fortnite, there are a legion of skins that have attained a specific kind of rarity. It’s less that these skins are worth anything tangible, and more that they have a sentimental value to those willing to buy them. It’s a phenomenon that’s becoming more and more visible as time goes on. In the case of the Throwback BG Skin, it’s just one of many outfits that is considered super rare on the Fortnite Island.
