Herschel "Dr Disrespect" Beahm IV has finally given up the ghost with Warzone and Halo: Infinite and returned home to Fortnite, brandishing his iconic character skin in the process. 

Since 2019, Dr Disrespect has been sharp shooting his way around Fortnite in a skin which looks incredibly similar to his own instantly recognisable self. Epic Games may not have officially confirmed that the skin is of the Doc, but no one can deny that the resemblance is uncanny. Not to mention, given his history with the game, it wouldn't be surprising if Epic Games decided to pay homage to one of its most famous players.

So, here's how you can you get your hands on the Fortnite Dr Disrespect character skin and just how well the Doc is keeping up to speed since his big return to the game. 

How To Get The Dr Disrespect Fortnite Character Skin?

Dr Disrespect's Fortnite skin isn't officially named after himself, but it does bear a strong resemblance to the mullet-sporting YouTuber. The skin that Dr Disrespect uses is the Stealth Reflex variant skin, which was originally released in March 2019 as part of the GeForce Fortnite Bundle. Originally available to purchase on NVIDIA, the skin was could then be bought in the Item Shop for 2,000 V-Bucks. However, the skin hasn't been seen for a while, meaning it could have been added to the long list of one of the most rare Fortnite skins which players are desperate to see.

Dr Disrespect was one of the lucky few who managed to snap up the skin before it became extremely rare. After he spotted the skin in the item store, he couldn't help but notice it looked very familiar. For example, not only does is the skin wearing the Doc's signature red vest, but is also sporting his iconic large headphones.

How Did Dr Disrespect React To The Fortnite Tilted Towers Update?

The new Tilted Towers update is all Fortnite players can talk about since its re-release on January 18. However, it appears that not everyone is happy. Dr Disrespect has already had an awful run of bad luck since the update. So much so, that he said: "I'm not f*cking playing this game ever again" after one particularly tough day. Although he was initially excited to get started up on Fortnite again because of Tilted Towers, by the time his stream was 5 hours and 37 minutes in, it was clear the Doc had had enough. 

He also suffered a hilarious blunder when, clad in his iconic Fortnite gear, he managed to throw two explosives which landed right next to his character. So, he decided to jump in the water to quell the flames, only to spectacularly plummet to his death as he was shot by other players. 

Okay, Dr Disrespect's big return to Fortnite hasn't exactly gone down as well as we hoped. Although, it looks like he might never want to return to Halo: Infinite or Warzone for that matter, meaning he might decide to stick Fortnite out for now. With such a rare skin that was clearly tailored to pay homage to Dr Disrespect, it's no surprise that fans are keen for the Doc to give Fortnite another chance for redemption.
