A few OGs among you probably still remember him. The Surf Bandit is an epic outfit in Fortnite that you could only get if you bought an Intel CPU between November 15, 2020 and July 31, 2021. Since then, the skin hasn't been available in Fortnite, making it one of the rarest skins in the game. But now you have another chance to get the Surf Bandit and some other cosmetics by participating in Intel's PlayPass Beta. Stay tuned as we show you how to get this rare skin.
