A recent data mine revealed that Loserfruit’s arrival to the Fortnite item shop might be sooner than expected. Here’s what we know
Kathleen “Loserfruit” Belsten, aged 27, will soon be indoctrinated in the “Fortnite Hall of Fame” with the introduction of her very own skin. As of now, there are only a few people who can claim this feat - including the likes of Ninja, Marshmello, and Travis Scott. This is a big deal, needless to say
While previous reports from Epic confirmed that more creator collaborations with YouTubers like Lachlan would be on the way, we didn’t have a clear timeline on when all this would go down. With last night’s v12.60 update, leaks suggest that the time table is within arm’s reach

Skin:
- Name: Loserfruit
- Desc: One sweet little berry, Vitamin packed and ready to slash.
Backbling:
- Name: Bounce Berry
- Desc: Buddy Bag
Emote:
- Name: Fruit Punchers
- Desc: Good Vibes only. Keep your friends close
Hypex was among the first leakers to confirm new game files with Loserfruit’s cosmetics. As of now, we know of a Loserfruit skin (duh), backbling, and emote. This “bundle” setup is exactly the same as Ninja’s exclusive cosmetics - which were just in the item shop earlier this week
Ninja’s pack clocks in at 1500 vbucks - a fair proposition considering other bundles have been as much as 2500. I assume the Loserfruit bundle hosts a similar price, while adding in the emote might cost extra. For reference, 500 vbucks was the cost of Pokimane’s standalone emote which arrived January of this year
What does the bundle look like?
A little while after initial reports were released, @SkinTrackerCom debuted the Loserfruit skin and emote. Take a look:

I personally think the skin looks unique - especially considering the vibrant arm sleeves that change colors in a psychedelic pattern. The emote is also pretty nifty as it features Loserfruit’s staple fruit: the strawberry
Some users have taken notice of some… oddities regarding the facial features. It doesn’t look quite like Loserfruit, or something might be a little off. I can’t exactly put my finger on it. Maybe it’s just the low quality and will be resolved on full release? We’ll find out soon enough
Regardless, huge ups to Loserfruit for inching closer and closer to a historic milestone and cementing herself in Fortnite’s legacy. After countless years of content creation it’s safe to say you’ve earned it
