Here is your chance to carry the loveable Grogu on your back in Fortnite.
New Fortnite x Star Wars cosmetics have arrived in the Item Shop following the groundbreaking D23 event. This event teased that Fortnite versions of Mandalorian characters Moff Gideon, played by Giancarlo Esposito, IG-11, and the always adorable Grogu, would drop into Fortnite on August 12. Sure enough, these cosmetics and more landed after the usual 8 p.m. ET Item Shop reset. Here's how you can get them all.
How to get Moff Gideon, IG-11, and Grogu in Fortnite
The latest collaboration revolves around two in-game Outfits and some other cosmetics. Firstly, we have the Moff Gideon skin, which tastefully captures actor Giancarlo Esposito's likeness. Next is the IG-11 Bounty Hunter Droid, also from the Mandalorian series. Voiced by Taika Waititi, this deadly droid has become a fan favorite.
Both characters are available in the Item Shop for a limited time, alongside everyone's favorite Baby Yoda, Grogu. Here's a look at the different cosmetics and how much they will cost.
- IG-11 Fortnite Outfit - 1,500 V-Bucks
- IG Droid Destructor Pickaxe - 800 V-Bucks
- Grogu Back Bling - 600 V-Bucks
- IG-11 Bundle (features everything above) - 2,100 V-Bucks
- Moff Gideon Fortnite Outfit - 1,500 V-Bucks
- Force Lance Pickaxe (includes built-in Emote) - 1,200 V-Bucks
- Gideon's Wrath Wrap - 500 V-Bucks
- Moff Gideon Bundle (includes the previous three items) - 2,500 V-Bucks
You can grab some or all of these cosmetics by visiting the "Shop" tab in Fortnite and exchanging V-Bucks for whichever items you want to wear in-game. Breaking Bad fans might want to grab the Moff Gideon Fortnite Outfit since it's the closest we may get to the long-desired crossover. Otherwise, you can never go wrong with Grogu.

Isn't there already a Grogu back bling?
This marks the second Mandalorian-specific collaboration with Fortnite. The first occurred way back in Chapter 2, where players could unlock The Mandalorian as an in-game skin. Another reward included in that season's Battle Pass was a Grogu Back Bling, which was not ideal. In fact, many believed it was a pay-to-lose Back Bling.
Although adorable, the previous Grogu Back Bling often blocks sightlines and actively works against you. Epic Games corrected that mistake with the latest addition to the ongoing Fortnite x Star Wars partnership. If you are interested, be sure to grab the Moff Gideon, IG-11, and other Fortnite cosmetics before it's too late.
