What is the lore behind Metal Gear Mk. II in Fortnite?
Metal Gear Mk. II is a beloved Back Bling in Fortnite. The design for the Back Bling features the Mark 2 Metal Gear, an iconic mech from the Metal Gear Solid series of games. While there is not a lot of lore attached to Metal Gear Mk. II as a cosmetic, the Back Bling was added to the game with none other than Solid Snake, the master of stealth.
Despite not possessing a lot of in-game lore, the Metal Gear Mk. II boasts a muted yet powerful design that allows it to stand out as one of the more unique Back Blings in the game’s vast cosmetic library. The item’s in-game description reads: “Backs you up on the battlefield.”, further emphasising the power of the mech the Back Bling is modelled after.
