Many years ago,Fortnitedid a surprise collab with Netflix to bringStranger Thingsto the game. Whilst there have been manymore in-depth collabs over the years forFortniteto bring in some heavy-hitting crossover characters,Stranger Thingswas one of the earliest and one that seemingly came and went within a flash. Yet, withFortniteOG, they have returned, and players can get their hands on not only Chief Hopper and the Demogorgon but the new addition of Eleven.
TheseFortniteskins are great for fans ofStranger Things, or for those who just enjoy boasting a rare collection of skins that may or may not come back. Knowing how to get theStranger Thingsskins inFortniteis no simple task, for it’s truly a gamble, and a waiting game unless players are quick to purchase theStranger Thingsskins in theFortniteItem Shop.
Eleven
The telekinetic teen has left the Upside Downfor the OGFortniteIsland thanks to this nostalgic season. Eleven is a highly requested character from theStranger Thingsseries, and she comes with three styles, and a few interesting items if players purchase her bundle.
TheStranger ThingsBundle costs 2,500 V-Bucks, which gives them 6 items andsaves them 600 V-Bucksin the process of buying them separately.
Eleven Outfit (1,500 V-Bucks)
Telekinetic teen who escaped Dr. Brenner and Hawkins National Laboratory.
Eleven’s outfit comes with a pretty groovy fashion sense for the ‘80s, with a snazzy shirt suspenders, and of course, jeans.Players will also receive the Waffle Extravaganza Back Bling for free with this skin. On the topic of the skin, players can also get a more horror-inspired look thanks to the other two styles which come with theHawkins Lab style and the Hawkins Lab (Cap) style.
Hopper’s Cabin Diorama (400 V-Bucks)
Time to do or diorama.
As part of theStranger Thingsset, players can also pick up the Hopper’s Cabin Diorama, which will have a wooden Hopper alongside a squirrel sitting outside a cabin. It’s fairly cute, but players can also access a more sinister look with theUpside Down styleof this Back Bling.
Steve’s Bat Pickaxe (500 V-Bucks)
A Harrington monster-fighting original.
This might be a Pickaxe that players will want to claim due to its distinct style. The idea of a wooden baseball with nails embedded into it seems like a pretty brutal idea and one that would make for afine addition to anyone’s collection.
Eddie’s Spear Pickaxe (500 V-Bucks)
Wielded by a true hero.
Eddie became a fan favorite character in the fourth season ofStranger Things, and what better way to honor him and his love of metal than with his makeshift spear, which features as a unique wielded Pickaxe?
Telekinetic Power Breakfast Emote (200 V-Bucks)
Power up with waffles.
To those who want to show their love of Eggos, or to those who just really like waffles, this emote is perfect for doing just that. Players will unlock telekinetic abilities, in which they can lift many waffles from their box, and show off a display of powers and smiles.
Chief Hopper Outfit (1,500 V-Bucks)
Hawkins PD’s finest.
Featuring as one of the very firstFortnitecollabs that veterans might remember, the Chief Hopper outfit comes with thedefault variant and the Hat Style. Whilst originally seen in Chapter 1, Season 9, this skin has only returned once, and that was 4 years later withFortniteOG. It’s a great skin for those who like small-town sheriffs investigating supernatural mysteries.
Demogorgon (1,200 V-Bucks)
Turn the battle upside down.
WhilstFortnitemares may be over, and the Halloween season lies dormant until next year, the Demogorgon is still a great skin to use all year round. For Chapter 1, Season 9, it was one of the most unique skins on the field, and even now after all the otherFortnitecollabs, it remains as such. Players might want to pick this one up before it goes for good, if it does in fact, go for good.
When Will The Stranger Things Skins Come Back To Fortnite?
Mysteriously, Netflix decided to take away theStranger Thingscollabs they did with other games. Not only didFortnitelose access to the skins for the Item Shop, but so didDead by Daylightwith theirStranger ThingsDLC. It was a surprising move, but hopefully, one that has ended, as bothFortniteandDead by Daylighthave brought back theirStranger Thingscrossover skins and characters, as of July 18, 2025.
In a surprise reveal,Jun 04, 2025, saw the return of Chief Hopper and the Demogorgon after 1,461 days since their last appearancein theFortniteItem Shop. That was anentire 4-year span without these skinsever featuring again, until now. Hopper and the Demogorgon arrived with the new addition of Eleven, allavailable for a limited time on June 17, 2025. With these skins now rotated out of the Item Shop, it’s anyone’s guess as to when or if they will ever return, as many fans have waited years to seeGod of War’s Kratos back in the Item Shop, but to no avail.
