The Legend of Towelie South Park
The Towelie South Park collaboration brings one of the most beloved and bizarre characters from the animated series into the world of Fortnite. Towelie South Park, originally known as the RG-400 Smart Towel, was genetically engineered by Tynacorp to automatically dry people off as needed. However, he quickly developed a personality of his own, often finding himself in situations where he has "no idea what is going on."
In Fortnite, the Towelie South Park outfit faithfully recreates his 2D cel-shaded appearance, making him stand out against the realistic environments of the Island. Just like other anime-style skins (like Naruto or Goku), Towelie South Park retains his flat, hand-drawn aesthetic from any angle. This unique visual style has made the Towelie South Park skin a highly sought-after item for collectors and fans of the show alike.
Reactive "High" State
The Towelie South Park skin features a unique reactivity mechanic. As you consume Shield Potions, Slurp Juice, or other consumables, Towelie's eyes will get progressively redder. This is a nod to his character's perpetual state in the show. At full shields, his eyes are bloodshot red!
Competitive Hitbox
Despite appearing as a flat rectangular towel, the Towelie South Park skin uses the standard male character hitbox (similar to Jonesy). This ensures that using Towelie South Park offers no competitive advantage or disadvantage in terms of being hit.
Why Everyone Wants the Towelie South Park Skin
The release of the Towelie South Park skin marks a significant crossover event. Players have been asking for South Park representation for years, and starting with Towelie South Park—a character who is literally an object—is perfectly on-brand for the show's humor.
When you equip the Towelie South Park outfit, you're not just wearing a skin; you're carrying a piece of television history. His catchphrase, "Don't forget to bring a towel!", is iconic. The Towelie South Park bundle often includes this line as a built-in emote or a separate traversal emote, allowing you to float around the map reminding your squad of proper hygiene.
Furthermore, the Towelie South Park skin pairs excellently with other cel-shaded items. If you own the Rick & Morty set or the Futurama set, Towelie South Park fits right in, creating a chaotic cartoon crossover squad. The attention to detail on the fabric texture of the Towelie South Park model is also worth noting; up close, you can see the terry cloth texture, even within the cel-shaded style.
Strategies for Using Towelie South Park
While skins are cosmetic, the Towelie South Park skin does have a psychological effect. His bright blue color can be quite visible in green environments, so he's not the best for stealth. However, the sheer absurdity of seeing a giant towel sprinting with a shotgun can throw off opponents. Use the Towelie South Park skin to assert dominance. When you down an enemy, using the "Don't forget to bring a towel" emote is the ultimate flex.
Remember, the Towelie South Park skin's eyes tell a story. If you see an enemy Towelie South Park with clear white eyes, you know they are low on shields. If their eyes are deep red, beware—they are fully shielded and ready to fight (or maybe just really relaxed). This visual cue is unique to the Towelie South Park outfit.
