The Return of the Janky Skin to Fortnite Item Shop

Fortnite players are excited as the beloved Janky skin is set to return to the Item Shop after being locked away for over two years. This marks its sixth appearance, delighting collectors and fans eagerly anticipating its comeback.

Expanding Cosmetic Options:

Over the years, Fortnite has introduced numerous cosmetic items, and diverse game modes like Rocket Racing, LEGO Fortnite, and Fortnite Festival have added to the options available in the Item Shop. 

Despite occasional adjustments to the shop’s configuration, players’ excitement surrounding specific items remains palpable.

Janky’s Rarity and History:

Janky, known for its rarity, has been inaccessible for over two years and has only been available in the Item Shop for five days. 

Initially released during Chapter 2, Season 8 in September 2021, it briefly returned on December 22, 2021. Despite its initial lukewarm reception, its scarcity has only heightened its desirability among players.

The Revival:

According to leaks from prominent Fortnite community figure ShiinaBR, Janky is scheduled to reappear in the Item Shop on April 18 during the 8 PM ET refresh. 

Its revival coincides with the release of the J Balvin skin as part of Fortnite’s 2024 Coachella event.

Acquisition Options: 

Players interested in acquiring the Janky skin can opt for the Janky Bundle, priced at 1,500 V-Bucks, which includes the Janky’s Stunt Helmet back bling. 

Alternatively, for an additional 300 V-Bucks, fans can indulge in the bundle, which includes Janky’s Dead Fish pickaxe, originally valued at 800 V-Bucks.
