Fortnite has had loads of collabs but some of the Chapter 1 crossovers have become quite rare. Collabs like Borderlands haven’t been back in a long time, which has meant the Psycho Bandit Fortnite skin has been missing for years. That’s supposedly changing soon, with leakers saying a section has been updated to reintroduce the skin to the game!
The Psycho Bandit Fortnite skin was part of the Borderlands collab. This was really quite a milestone for Fortnite collabs. It was the start of much bigger crossovers, with an area on the map dedicated to the crossover, which even tested out a new cell-shaded art style. The skins weren’t the most exciting part of things though. That was until we went thousands of days without seeing the skins! Now they’re some of the rarest skins and players go to some lengths to unlock them. Including paying extra for old codes to unlock the Psycho Bandit skin.
That won’t be necessary soon though. According to leakers, it’s coming back to the game.

Psycho Bandit Fortnite Skin Returning to Game
According to Fortnite leakers, the Psycho Bandit is going to return to Fortnite! The skin hasn’t been seen in over 1,700 days. Pretty much a lifetime as far as Item Shop skin refreshes go. The slot for the skin in the item shop has been updated. Usually, this means it’s pretty certain to return. Although, there have been exceptions.
In the past, updated item shop sections haven’t always led to a skin’s return. Most notably with another of the Gaming Legends Series, Kratos. The item shop section or the God of War was updated for the Greek Gods season, but he never returned. Apparently due to a hold up with licencing. Psycho Bandit looks very likely to return though, Borderlands doesn’t seem to have the same restrictions.
We can probably expect it to finally return! The skin’s original release was over 2,000 days ago in August 2019. It stuck around for a few days and had a two day return in September. Then, a three-day appearance in May 2020. That was it. If the Psycho bandit Fortnite skin returns then it’ll be your first chance to purchase it in nearly 5 years!
