It's still a couple of weeks until Halloween, but that isn't stopping Epic Games from releasing some of its heavy-hitting Fortnite Halloween skins.

In tonight's daily store update, Epic Games released the previously leaked Hollowhead outfit and its accompanying Carver pickaxe.



The new outfit is notably of "Epic" rarity (purple), meaning it will cost you a hefty 1,500 V-Bucks. Meanwhile, the Carver pickaxe is only "rare" (blue), so it won't break the bank as much at 800 V-Bucks. However, to nab the entire set you will have to fork over 2,200 V-Bucks, which is roughly $25.

To accompany the Halloween set, the Skull Trooper, Skull Ranger, and Skull Sickle items all also return. Meanwhile, Slow Clap, Stop Axe, Highland Warrior, and Vivacious round up the rest of the store.



Interestingly, the Skull Trooper and Skull Ranger outfits have been in store virtually the whole week, which is perhaps Epic Games way of saying this will be the last time to get the outfits.

The Hollowhead outfit is pretty good, and personally reminds me of Jack O'Lantern from Spider-Man. That said, the buzz around it is nowhere near the same level that the return of the Skulltrooper garnered. But perhaps in a few months when a wave of new players don't have it, Hollowhead will have its own cult of players demanding its return.

Fortnite is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
