In one of the most unlikely collaborations in Fortnite history, Billy the Puppet from the iconic horror franchise "Saw" will soon become an in-game skin.
In case you didn't know, Billy the Puppet is used frequently by John Kramer, otherwise known as the Jigsaw Killer, usually to communicate the elaborate traps the victims find themselves in. Billy the Puppet launches ahead of the game's annual Halloween-themed Fortnitemares event. Here's what you need to know!
Saw x Fortnite Billy the Puppet skin: Release date and showcase
Billy the Puppet will be available in the Fortnite Item Shop and Web Shop beginning Tuesday, October 8, at 8 p.m. ET. Once the Item Shop resets, you can feast your eyes on the Saw-inspired Billy the Puppet Fortnite skin, Back Bling, Wrap, Pickaxe, and even a tricycle Emote in honor of the Saw films.
Despite Jigsaw's trusty puppet being, well, a puppet, Fortnite scaled him up so he could run with the many Fortnite skins.
The Saw x Fortnite skin items will be available individually, except for the Back Bling, or you can purchase the whole lot via the Billy the Puppet Bundle. Here is a complete list of pricing and a look at the cosmetics via HYPEX:
- Perilous Puppet Bundle - Currently unknown
- Billy Outfit with Trap Television Back Bling - 1,500 V-Bucks
- Spiralized Slicer Pickaxe - 800 V-Bucks
- Puppet's Choice Wrap - 500 V-Bucks
