Fortnite has not officially revealed the items in the Deadmau5 collab, but several leaks have emerged purporting to show its contents. According to Fortnite aficionado and Epic Games partner @ShiinaBR and fellow leaker @Loolo_WRLD, the drop allegedly includes:
If the leaked information is correct, players can purchase items from the Fortnite x Deadmau5 drop individually or as a full bundle. Costs will vary depending on that decision. Generally, buying a full bundle costs more than a single item, but has better overall value. Here’s a quick recap of the set’s prices:
The Fortnite x Deadmau5 collab items will be available exclusively through the in-game Item Shop. Players will need V-Bucks, the game’s premium currency, to purchase them. Currently, 1,000 V-Bucks cost 8.99 USD from the Epic Games shop.
Once players purchase them, the Deadmau5 items will immediately appear in their cosmetics locker, ready to equip and use.
Every Fortnite skin bundle drop usually sparks a brief player count spike, since users rush to the game so they can test and try on each cosmetic. This sends small ripple effects into competitive queue, resulting in quicker queue times and more active lobbies.
All that being said, Fortnite’s skins usually do not provide any in-game competitive advantages. Players still have to rely on their tried-and-true trickshots and speed-building strategies to succeed.
