The Psycho Bandit skin is back in Fortnite, and fans of Borderlands are happy to see it again. This skin first came to the game during Chapter 1 Season X and quickly became a fan favorite. It’s part of a fun crossover between Fortnite and the famous Borderlands series.
Let’s break down everything you need to know about this rare skin, how to get it in 2025, and why it’s still so popular.
What Is the Psycho Bandit Skin?
The Psycho Bandit is a character from the Borderlands games. He looks wild, dangerous, and totally fits the crazy world of Borderlands. Fortnite added him as part of the Gaming Legends Series, making it a cool crossover for fans of both games.
When you use this skin, you also get a little extra fun Claptrap, the small robot from Borderlands, joins in as a back bling. It’s a nice touch that makes this skin even more special.
Can You Use Psycho Bandit in LEGO Fortnite?
Sadly, no. Psycho Bandit is not available in LEGO Fortnite. Since he belongs to a third-party game (Borderlands), Epic likely doesn’t have the rights to turn him into a LEGO figure. And honestly, with how wild he acts, he might be too crazy for the LEGO world anyway!
How to Get the Psycho Bandit Skin in 2025
As of April 29, 2025, you can buy the Psycho Bandit skin from the Fortnite Item Shop. It is listed under a special “Psycho Bandit” tab, and comes as part of a full Psycho Bundle.
Here’s what you get in the bundle:
- Psycho Bandit Skin
- Claptrap Back Bling
- Psycho Buzz Axes (Pickaxe)
You cannot buy these items separately. You must buy the full bundle.
Price:
- 2,000 V-Bucks for the complete Psycho Bundle
How Long Will the Skin Stay in the Shop?
The Psycho Bandit skin will stay in the Fortnite Item Shop until May 3, 2025, at 8 PM ET (your local time may differ). If you want it, be sure to grab it before then!
Don’t worry if you miss it. Since it’s not an exclusive skin, it will probably return in the future during another Borderlands or Gaming Legends event.
Extra Cool Things About This Skin
Here’s why the Psycho Bandit skin is more than just a cosmetic item:
- Nostalgia for Borderlands fans: The design is straight out of the game, which fans love.
- Unique animations and sounds: It feels different compared to most Fortnite skins.
- Rare return: It doesn’t come back often, so owning it feels special.
- Perfect for duos with Claptrap: The back bling gives the skin more personality.
