The Major Lazer Fortnite skin is finally back after disappearing for over four years. Here’s how to grab it, what it costs, and why it matters in Fortnite’s massive crossover legacy.
Major Lazer Is Back in Fortnite After Four Years — Here’s What You Need to Know
Fortnite’s item shop just dropped a surprise banger — the Major Lazer skin is officially back for the first time since June 2021. After four long years, players can once again snag one of the most elusive music-themed skins in the game for 1,600 V-Bucks. If you’ve been waiting for a rerun, this is your moment.
This marks a huge throwback to Fortnite’s earlier music crossovers, when the game was just starting to dip its toes into full-blown digital concerts and artist collabs. Major Lazer was only the second musician skin ever added, right after Marshmello — and long before the likes of Ariana Grande and Metallica turned Fortnite into a virtual music festival.
Major Lazer’s Return: Why It Matters
Let’s be real — Fortnite has tons of collab skins, but only a few carry the kind of legacy that Major Lazer does. Released back in the OG music crossover era, this skin wasn’t just a flashy outfit — it was the blueprint for what would eventually become Fortnite’s massive musical universe.
From J Balvin to Snoop Dogg, and even the recent Juice WRLD tribute, Fortnite’s artist skins have evolved into cultural moments. Major Lazer walked so the rest could rage.
The rarity alone makes this drop a big deal — it hasn’t appeared in the shop since 2021, and let’s be honest, not many players were expecting a comeback.
What You Get for 1,600 V-Bucks
This isn’t just a reskin of some default avatar with sunglasses. Major Lazer comes with:
- A slick, animated outfit modeled after the EDM legend himself
- Matching back bling and pickaxe (if purchased in the full bundle)
- A signature emote featuring music from Major Lazer
If you’re vibing with the aesthetic, you can go full set and complete the look — perfect for dancing on someone after a clutch elimination.
Fortnite’s Current Crossover Madness
This drop doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Fortnite’s been on a crossover spree, and the timing of Major Lazer’s return is no coincidence. Here’s what else is going down right now:
- Borderlands collab: New skins for Claptrap, Mad Moxxi, and more
- Super Season: Bringing in skins for Robin, Superman, Morgan Myst
- Kamehameha Mythic weapon is back — Dragon Ball Z fans, it’s your time
- Rumors of a female Spartan from Halo are swirling for Chapter 6 Season 4
Basically: Epic Games is in “give the people everything” mode. And yes, your locker space is about to suffer.
