Summary
The wasteland has come toFortnitein Chapter 5 Season 3, bringing about the potential for many apocalyptic-themed collabs from other famed franchises and series. Everyone loves a goodFortnitecollab, and with the post-apocalyptic wasteland theme being rather present inFortnitefor theWrecked season, it’s time to take a good look at some famous properties that would fit right in.
Whether it’s due to their apocalyptic scenarios, or the concept of roaming a desert, these collabs would certainly make for a great time to appear, building on the hype and narrative ofFortniteChapter 5 Season 3’s themethat could easily pave the way for some iconic characters.
Max Rockatansky & Furiosa Belong in the Wasteland
The famous Road Warrior, Mad Max, belongs to the wasteland, and what more of a perfect time to add him and Furiosa intoFortnite, than right now? The release of 2024’sFuriosa: A Mad Max Sagacreates the perfect opportunity to add these iconic characters fromMad Max: Fury Road.Chapter 5 Season 3 is heavily reliant on vehicles, and these two definitely know their way around vehicular combat in a desert.
Max Rockatansky and Furiosa are both icons of the post-apocalyptic genre, so why not bring them into the chaos to further prove how mad the world can be? Hopefully, Max and Furiosa will be released this season to further compliment the theme of Wrecked.
7Deadpool & Wolverine
Two Marvel Legends Roam A Pruned Wasteland
WithDeadpool & Wolverineset to release from the MCU’s roster on July 25, many players are already expecting a collab consideringhow oftenFortnitex Marvel happens, regardless of the season theme. Yet, there’s a special opportunity here, as much of the trailers showcase Deadpool and Wolverine inside a ravished wasteland filled with memorable items and characters from the pastX-Menmovies.
To have Wolverine and Deadpool pruned by the TVA and brought intoFortnitewould add hilarious lore to bothFortniteand the MCU, and what’s even more important about this collab is the fact that Wolverine and Deadpool are Battle Pass exclusive skins, so to see Item Shop variants would make many people happy.
6Planet Of The Apes
The Wasteland is for the Apes
While humans suffered a quiet extinction due to their hubris, apes became the dominant species to rule the Earth. With the release ofKingdom of the Planet of the Apes, it’s the perfect time to bring in chimpanzees toFortnite, showcasing the true wildness of the wasteland if futuristic and intelligent apes are brought into the fold.
It would be a lot of fun to run around as a chimp, especially driving a car andshooting guns. The idea of Caesar, or even the newer cast of characters like Noa, running around and climbing across the post-apocalyptic map, makes for an exciting prospect.
5Borderlands
Unleash Pandora’s Mayhem on the Island
Pandora is filled with mayhem, insanity, and Vault Hunters. WhilstBorderlandshave featured in a collab before thanks to the Psycho Bandit and Claptrap backbling, now is the perfect time to add even more from the treasure trove of chaos, with characters new and old featuring for the Gaming Legends series, or even as part of the live-action movie releasing August 9.
Whilst the Psycho Bandit might seem the most iconic of the series, it would be great to see the likes of Krieg, Roland, Lilith, and even Tiny Tina roam the wasteland in different vehicles, and with an abundance of weaponry and loot like the series is so famous for.
4Fist of the North Star
Explore The Post-Nuclear Hellscape With Kenshiro
Plenty of human emotion can be found inFist of the North Star, as well as plenty of post-apocalyptic kung fu. Those who adore the manga, anime, and games that come from this series might want to see their protagonist, Kenshiro, come to the island in search of hope in yet another post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Fortniteloves a collab with famed manga and anime series, soFist of the North Starwould fit right in with the rest, allowing players to roam the wastes as one of their favorite characters. Besides, Kenshiro might have a good time adapting to the carnage thanks to the Nitro Fists.
3JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
The Stardust Crusaders Are No Strangers to Deserts
Any JoJo inFortnitewould do, but perhaps this season belongs to Stardust Crusaders, the more famous and well-known Part Three of the series. Whilst the series isno stranger to deserts,Stardust Crusadersfeatures a cast of characters roaming one in search of an elder vampire lord, Dio, as they battle his minions and their Stands across the world to put an end to his tyranny.
With Joseph Joestar, Jotaro Kujo, Jean Pierre Polnareff, Noriaki Kakyoin, and Muhammed Avdol featuring as the iconic Josestar group, they would all make for perfect anime/manga skins to be added to the game. Plus, the idea of having Iggy as a backbling is adorable, and the idea of having Dio as a skin would also be great.
2Batman: Last Knight on Earth
Fortniteloves Batman, an obvious fact considering the amount of skins this DC Comics icon has in the game. So, why not bring in another one? DC andFortnitehave not had a collab since Black Adam on June 16, 2025, leaving DC absent from potential. Yet, withBatman: Last Knight on Earth, hopefully, the famed comic titans can come back toFortnite.
Batman: Last Knight on Earthwould be great for numerous reasons. Not only is the story of a Batman with a fractured mind, roaming the wasteland in an Arkham Asylum straitjacket a cool concept, but the fact his backbling and pickaxe could be Joker’s talking head in a lantern makes for an extremely interesting dynamic that would create one of the most distinct visual skins inFortniteitself.
1Fallout: New Vegas
Iconic NCR Rangers are Perfect for the Desert
WhenFortnitexFalloutcrossed over to bring players a few weapons anditems into the loot pool, as well as theiconic T-60 power armorfrom the Brotherhood of Steel, players immediately began dreaming of further potential for this collab. With many iconic characters featuring across theFalloutgames and the show, there’s only one outfit that truly matters.
The New California Republic Ranger is the classic NCR cover image that is seen all overFallout: New Vegas. The NCR Ranger is the perfect choice to bring intoFallout, as it’s almost as iconic as Power Armor itself. With the perfect duster coat and red-lensed gas mask, this roamer of the Mojave Wasteland would fit right intoFortnite.
