Fortnite enters the Upside Down for the third time on Nov. 21!

The recurring Fortnite x Stranger Things collab will return presumably for one last time to celebrate the show's fifth and final season. Although Vecna was initially the only character expected to appear in the crossover, the rest of the Stranger Things gang, save for a few, are also getting Fortnite skins in their honor. The entire collection has come to light, which we will outline in this article.

All Stranger Things Fortnite wave 3 skins and cosmetics

Following the Vecna leak a few days ago, leakers and Epic Games later confirmed that Mike, Will, Lucas, and Dustin are all part of wave 3. These five characters will be available on Friday, Nov. 21, joining Chief Hopper, the Demogorgon, and Eleven, who were added in waves 1 and 2.

In total, the latest Fortnite x Stranger Things wave features 18 items, including Skins, Pickaxes, Back Blings, and Emotes. Below, we have provided a complete list of everything included:

  • Vecna Outfit
  • Vecnaxe Pickaxe
  • Vecna's Power Draw Emote
  • Creel's Clock Back Bling
  • Mike Wheeler Outfit
  • Mike's Investigation Kit Pickaxe
  • Mike's Backpack Back Bling
  • Will Byers Outfit
  • Will's Light Staff Pickaxe
  • Will's Backpack Back Bling
  • Lucas Sinclair Outfit
  • Wrist Rocket Pickaxe
  • Lucas' Backpack Back Bling
  • Dustin Henderson Outfit
  • Dustin's Slammer Pickaxe
  • Dustin's Backpack Back Bling
  • Lil' Demogorgon Attack Emote
  • Upside Down Alphabet Emote

Wave 3 is faithful to the source material, utilizing the likenesses of all actors involved. The Emotes are also unique references, with the Lil' Demogorgon attack standing out amongst the pack. Unfortunately, we don't have pricing yet, but that information should be available over the next few hours.

What about Steve and Max?

Despite fans' campaigning, this wave does not include Joe Keery's Steve Harrington or Sadie Sink's Max Mayfield. Since this is the final season of Stranger Things, it's possible that these two characters don't make it into Fortnite as skins.

However, it's worth noting that Netflix has split Season 5 into three parts. That could be the hope fans need for Steve and Max skins, but only time will tell on that front. For now, the list of Stranger Things skins in Fortnite will grow to eight on Nov. 21 when the Item Shop resets at 7 p.m. ET.

The latest wave also features a new Stranger Things-themed Blitz Royale map, which should be a fun experience whether you're a fan or not.
