Fortnite: How to Get the Deadmau5 Skin

Deadmau5 has been rumored to join the pool of available skins in Fortnite for a long while now. With the confirmation of the Rocket League event for August, which features car cosmetics that will crossover to Fortnite, players were certain that the skin would finally make it to the game this month, and leaks made it clear that the rumors would soon become a reality.

This article tells players what they need to know about obtaining the deadmau5 skin in Fortnite; it contains information on how much it costs, which items are part of its set, and how long it’ll be available.

The deadmau5 skin can be purchased in the Fortnite Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks. The skin features four alternative styles and a LEGO Fortnite variant.

When Is Deadmau5 Leaving the Fortnite Item Shop?

The deadmau5 cosmetic set will remain available in the Item Shop until August 15 at 8 PM ET. After this, these items will eventually return, as they will rotate in and out of the shop like any other skin. However, it is impossible to know exactly when; it could take mere days or it could be over a year before it makes a comeback.
