The Xanthus skin in Fortnite was introduced in Chapter 6 Season 2 with update v34.10. Despite being new to the Metaverse, Xanthus seems to have moved up in the world. As seen in the "Lawless" trailer, he works for none other than Fletcher Kane - the antagonist for this phase of the storyline. He's also good friends with Duke, another canine part of Kane's entourage.

It is unclear what Xanthus' role will be for this part of the storyline, but you are free to cosplay the character in other realities as well. Since he has a LEGO Style outfit, you can also use him to explore LEGO Fortnite Odyssey. But do try to stay out of trouble, as Duke will not have your back in a fight.

Here is how to get the Xanthus skin in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2.
