The iconic F1 champion, Lewis Hamilton, becomes part of Fortnite’s Icon series – find out how to secure this limited-time skin.
Fortnite enthusiasts are in for a treat as the game adds a new collaboration skin to its extensive lineup, welcoming none other than Formula One racing champion Lewis Hamilton. Joining the ranks of various sports-themed skins, Hamilton’s inclusion in Fortnite’s Icon series brings a fresh dynamic to the game. This guide outlines the details on acquiring the Lewis Hamilton skin, covering cost and availability.
How to Obtain Lewis Hamilton in Fortnite
Lewis Hamilton enters Fortnite through the Icon series, making his cosmetic items accessible in the Item Shop rather than through a dedicated bundle. While these items are set to be introduced with the v27.10 update on November 16, they won’t immediately appear in the Item Shop.
Epic Games has confirmed that the Lewis Hamilton cosmetics will debut in the Fortnite OG Shop at 7 PM ET on November 17. With the OG Shop refreshing every 24 hours, players have until November 18 at 6:59 PM ET to seize this exclusive set. Afterward, they’ll need to wait for the rotation to bring it back into the shop, making it more accessible once Fortnite Season OG concludes and the regular Item Shop returns.
Lewis Hamilton Cosmetic Set
The Lewis Hamilton set is anticipated to encompass more than just the skin, offering a comprehensive bundle. Players can expect a harvesting tool and glider, with Roscoe, Hamilton’s pet pitbull, making an appearance as a back bling. As Roscoe is a constant companion, players can also feature him on Lewis’s glider.
Rumors suggest that the set will consist of two skins, each potentially featuring distinct variants. Given their categorization as Icon series skins, a price point of 1,500 V-Bucks is anticipated, although this may vary depending on the specific cosmetic bundles available.
