Back in 2019, video game crossover outfits in Fortnite were quite rare, and Borderlands 3 was among the early ones to make an appearance. If you started playing Fortnite later and have been eyeing the Psycho Bandit bundle, now’s your chance. After a five-year absence, the fan-favorite skin has returned to the shop. Here’s how you can get the Psycho Bandit skin in Fortnite.
How to Get Psycho Bandit Skin in Fortnite
To grab the Psycho Bandit skin now, you’ll need to purchase the Psycho Bundle. Head to the Fortnite shop, and you’ll find the bundle featured prominently at the top of the menu. The entire bundle, including the skin, is available for 2,000 V-Bucks.
Once your V-Bucks are ready, head over to the item shop to grab the Psycho Bundle before it leaves on Saturday, May 3 at 5:00 PM PT. Along with the Psycho Bandit skin, the bundle also includes a back bling and a pickaxe. Here’s everything you’ll receive when you purchase the Psycho Bundle in Fortnite:
- Psycho Bandit skin
- Claptrap back bling
- Psycho Buzz Axes pickaxe
Is It Possible to Get the Borderlands 3 Skin for Free?
These days, snagging a free Fortnite skin is pretty rare and that includes the Psycho Bandit. Currently, the only way to unlock this Borderlands 3-inspired skin is by purchasing it from the Fortnite Item Shop. Back in 2020, Epic Games did offer a limited-time promotion: players who bought Borderlands 3 via the Epic Games Store received the Psycho Bandit skin at no extra cost. That deal wrapped up on December 31, 2020, and hasn’t returned since. So if you missed out then, this might be your best shot but be prepared to spend some V-Bucks!
How Rare Was the Borderlands 3 Skin?
If you’re still debating whether to pick up the Psycho Bandit skin, consider this: it hadn’t appeared in the Fortnite Item Shop since May 31, 2020 – almost 1,800 days ago. That long absence made it one of the rarest skins in Fortnite history. Now that it has finally returned, other rare outfits are stepping into the spotlight. Here’s a look at the skins that now claim a spot among Fortnite’s rarest:
- Kratos – 1,500 Days
- Arcane – 1,200 Days
- Street Fighter – 1,000 Days
