Gingerbread Raider

What is the lore behind Gingerbread Raider in Fortnite?

Gingerbread Raider is one of the many variants (snapshots) of the original Renegade Raider. Although she was created for Winterfest, she's likely just as deadly as the others that share her character model. On that note, other variants (snapshots) of her include characters such as Blaze, Renegade Lynx, Permafrost Raider, andRenegade Runner.

Judging by the fact that she has a long lineage, there could be many other variants (snapshots) spread across the infinite realities. Epic Games is yet to make their presence known. Coming back to Gingerbread Raider, her official in-game descrip[tion reads, "Let the festivities begin." As mentioned, she was part of Winterfest 2021.

That being said, she has never played a pivotal role in-game or in the storyline. AS such, her lore and backstory are limited in nature. Aside from being a cosmetic entity, she serves no other purpose in-game for the time being. Epic Games may build upon her lore in the future, but for now, she's just a cool skin for players to use in-game. She's also pretty rare to encounter given how old the cosmetic is.
