British rapper EsDeeKid has officially made his way into Fortnite and is now included in the Icon Series. The collab came out of nowhere, though, so if you missed the announcement, don't worry, the skin is still in the shop, and you have a little time left to grab it. Here is how to get the EsDeeKid skin in Fortnite.
When Did the EsDeeKid Skin Release in Fortnite?
The EsDeeKid skin hit the Fortnite Item Shop on Friday, May 15, 2026, and it went live at the following times around the world:
| Time Zone | Date and Time |
|---|---|
| Pacific Time (PT) | Friday, May 15 - 5:00 PM |
| Eastern Time (ET) | Friday, May 15 - 8:00 PM |

What's Included in the EsDeeKid Skin Bundle in Fortnite
The full bundle costs 3,400 V-Bucks, but Epic actually packed in a lot of stuff for this one. You can get a Sidekick, multiple pickaxes, jam tracks, and more. Here's everything available and what each piece costs:
| Cosmetics | Image | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| EsDeeKid Skin |  | 2,000 V-Bucks |
| Canine Claws Pickaxe |  | Included with skin or bundle |
| Grimhaul Backbling |  | Included with skin or bundle |
| EsDeeKid's Cerberus Sidekick |  | 1,500 V-Bucks |
| Mace Der Microphone/Backbling/Pickaxe |  | 800 V-Bucks |
| Scouse Stepper Emote |  | 500 V-Bucks |
| Medieval Metal Wrap |  | 500 V-Bucks |
| New Royalty Loading Screen |  | Included with bundle |
| Jam Tracks |  | 500 V-Bucks each |
Is the EsDeeKid Bundle Worth It?
The EsDeeKid collab has more going for it than most music crossovers. You are getting a skin with four alternate styles, including two skull-themed looks. You also get the Cerberus Sidekick, which is a very cool Rottweiler with red eyes that follows you around in matches. On top of that, there's the Scouse Stepper emote and three Jam Tracks for Festival Mode.
If you're already a fan of EsDeeKid, the full bundle at 3,400 V-Bucks is an easy yes. If you're just casually curious, the 2,000 V-Buck skin bundle gives you the core look without committing to everything. And if the dog is your main draw, the Cerberus Sidekick at 1,500 V-Bucks is available on its own, too. So which one are you getting?
