The Unique Return of Fortnite's Rare Skin After Nearly 1,800 Days

The return of the Psycho Bandit skin marks an exciting revival in the Fortnite shop after a long absence.

The Psycho Bandit has made a notable comeback in the Fortnite store after an absence of 1,794 days.

Waiting for a coveted skin to return to Fortnite can be quite a challenge, especially with collaborations that frequently disappear into the vault for extended periods without any clear indication of their return.

The Psycho Skin, linked to the Borderlands franchise and first introduced in August 2019, has had a few returns but vanished completely after May 31, 2020. Nearly five years later, players can now purchase it once more.

The Psycho bundle is available for 2,000 V-bucks and includes the iconic character alongside Claptrap-themed back bling and various axes. Even for those who may not be avid fans of Borderlands, it presents an appealing aesthetic, allowing newer players to enjoy a piece of this iconic collaboration.

While the excitement around Psycho’s return is palpable, some players still express dissatisfaction, with many hoping for original variations of skins rather than merely seeing them return, citing a decrease in the perceived value of their accounts.

Additionally, the market for Psycho bundle codes had soared, with prices reportedly ranging from £700 to £1,000 ($900 to $1,300). Many speculate that this revival might upset sellers of these rare code keys.

With Psycho returning, attention shifts to Kratos, recognized as the next rarest collaboration skin, which hasn’t been spotted since March 2021. Fans of this character remain hopeful for his eventual comeback.
