Rambo is coming to Fortnite: leaked skins, items and dates

For those who enjoy action movies or just love the most explosive crossovers in the battle royale scene, we've got some amazing news. The latest leaks point to Rambo being the next major guest star to drop into Fortnite.

While Epic Games hasn't officially confirmed the news just yet, prominent dataminers in the community like ShiinaBR and HYPEX on X (formerly Twitter) have already found the iconic soldier's files hidden within the game's code. This means that very soon, you’ll be able to sprint across the island firing off explosive arrows and surviving like a true action hero.

Bringing 80s movie heroes to Fortnite is nothing new. We've seen plenty of pop culture icons wrecking havoc across the map, but Rambo, famously played by Sylvester Stallone, hits a bit differently. While the younger player base might not be as familiar with him, older gamers know him as the ultimate survival legend. Everything suggests this crossover will be packed with nostalgia and direct callbacks to his classic films.

It’s worth mentioning that the hardened soldier already has a solid track record in recent video games. He cracked skulls as a DLC character in Mortal Kombat 11 and also showed up as a limited-time operator in Call of Duty: Warzone. Now, it's time for him to test his survival skills in the colorful universe of Epic Games.

Everything included in the Rambo Fortnite bundle

According to the data revealed by prominent leakers, the Rambo skin won’t be arriving alone. The leaked bundle screams "action blockbuster" and is tailor-made for players who prefer a tactical look on the battlefield. Here is everything that has been uncovered so far:

• Main Rambo Skin: The outfit will feature 3 different styles, with the standout being his shirtless look rocking the iconic red headband, totally ready for close-quarters combat.
• Explosive Tips Quiver Backbling: A quiver loaded with those famous explosive arrows that always got him out of trouble on the big screen.
• Survivalist Knife Pickaxe: The legendary Rambo survival knife, the perfect tool for aggressively farming materials.
• Helicopter Glider: A themed glider so you can drop into the hottest POIs like you're in the middle of a jungle rescue op.
• Knife Prop Emote: A special emote where your character shows off their slick knife-handling skills.
• Weapon Wrap: A tactical design to give your entire loadout a proper military vibe.

When does Rambo release in Fortnite

As of right now, leakers haven't found a set V-Bucks price or an exact release date. However, all the information dug up from the recent patches indicates that this bundle could hit the Fortnite Item Shop in the coming weeks, very likely during the month of June.

As is usually the case with these early rumors, we just have to be a little patient and wait for Epic Games to drop the official announcement on their social media channels. But considering the models and items are already sitting in the game's code, it's only a matter of days before the deployment begins.

Whether you prefer playing slow and tactical or rushing everyone you see, having Rambo in your locker is going to be an awesome addition. Get your V-Bucks ready, because this war veteran isn't dropping onto the island to make friends, and he's sure to be a fan favorite this season.
