The long wait is over! After an incredible 1,800-day absence, the Psycho Bandit returns to Fortnite, making this Borderlands 3 skin bundle available once again in the Item Shop. This unexpected comeback marks the end of its era as one of the rarest Gaming Legends Series skins in Fortnite’s history.
Why This Gaming Legend Skin Matters in Fortnite
The Psycho Bandit represents a piece of Fortnite history. Back in 2019 – 2020, gaming crossovers were rare events, unlike today’s weekly collaborations in Fortnite. When this skin was last available on May 31st, 2020, Fortnite was a very different game.
With its return, the crown for the rarest Gaming Legends skin now passes to:
- Kratos (God of War) – missing for 1,500 days.
- Arcane (League of Legends) – missing for 1,200 days.
- Street Fighter characters – missing for 1,000 days.
The return of the Psycho Bandit skin thrilled the Fortnite community, with longtime players, new fans, and even parents expressing joy. Some are celebrating finally getting the skin after years of waiting, while others who already owned it are happy that more players now have a chance to grab it.
“I’ve been waiting over 4 years. I started this game in C2S6, and in that time, every other shop skin I wanted has come back…except Psycho Bandit. And now he’s finally here, and my wishlist is complete!” shared one excited player. Many are also hoping this signals the return of more Gaming Legends skins like Resident Evil and Street Fighter.
How to Get the Psycho Bandit Skin Bundle in Fortnite
Unlike its original release, when you could get the skin free by purchasing Borderlands 3 through the Epic Games Store, there is currently no way to obtain this skin without spending V-Bucks. If you have been waiting years for this skin, here is how to add it to your locker:
- Open the Fortnite Item Shop.
- Look for the Psycho Bandit bundle at the top of the tabs.
- Purchase the bundle for 2,000 V-Bucks.
The full Psycho Bundle includes:
