So, Jack ‘CouRageJD’ Dunlop just called his week ‘absolutely insane,’ and honestly? He isn’t wrong. The famous streamer and content creator is on top of the world, and he is the one who is thanking everyone for making it a ‘wild success.’ And the big reward? His official Fortnite Icon Series bundle is going to be available in the item shop worldwide in just three days. So, December 17th is the day to remember, everyone.

If anyone had been in an isolated place or was preoccupied with a different game’s battle pass, this has been a major event. CouRageJD was given his Fortnite skin, which is like the digital equivalent of getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for gamers. The lead-up consisted of a special tournament, the ‘Icon Cup,’ where players could compete to win the skin early. The entire week was full of streams, excitement, and a lot of community involvement. And now, the moment for everyone else to get the goods is almost at hand.

The players’ reactions have been a combination of sheer excitement and the traditional gamer hardship of empty virtual wallets. The comments on his tweet express the mood perfectly. There are people like ‘Alyssa’ who are all-caps thrilled, ‘Can’t wait to buy it!!!’ Others are already organizing their support, with ‘Joseph Russo’ declaring that he is ready to ‘buy the courage icon skin using code courage in the Fortnite item shop!!!’ Indeed, utilizing the creator code ‘COURAGE’ at the time of purchase benefits Jack directly, and many of his followers are vowing to do just that.

However, as always, there is also the flip side. The ‘I-want-it-but-my-V-Bucks-are-crying’ faction is very vocal. One player, ‘Stanza,’ said it nicely: ‘I really want to get your bundle, I just cant afford it :/’. Another, ‘Dingleberry,’ followed the traditional begging route: ‘Give me a code for the bundle Courage, too broke to cop the skin of my goat 😭’. It’s a real emotion, dude. These Icon Series bundles can be pricey, and when they are for a creator you like, that fear of missing out hits even harder.

There even came some tournament drama through the comments. ‘Verlaxify’ recounted a frequent battle royale woe, saying, ‘Tried to get the skin early in the tournament but dying to cheaters ruined that for me.’ Ouch. That hurts. On the other hand, ‘Twitch.tv/BradWinger’ was a tad disappointed about his Icon Cup points but still was like: ‘Only managed to get 104 points yesterday… sad it’s not enough to get the skin, BUT I’m still going to buy it for streaming on December 17th with code Courage!’ That’s the right attitude.

And obviously, you have to have that one person who is sarcastic. A user named ‘Birds fan’ slightly dissed, tweeting, ‘Imagine a grown man saying. The biggest week of his life is a 7-year-old game putting him in it.’ Hold on, what was I saying? Oh, it was right. To every person their own, but for the Fortnite community and the streaming world, this is indeed a big deal. It’s a milestone. It isn’t just a skin but a huge recognition from one of the most popular games on the planet.

The excitement is so genuine that players have already started cracking jokes about the bundle’s powers. ‘Glitchy 🪄’ joked, ‘That ICON bundle better come with some skill, or I’m holding you accountable for my future losses!’ To be honest, that’s a fair argument. I mean, if I spend 2,000 V-Bucks on a skin, I would expect at least a few more kills, you know? However, the majority of the vibe is just positive and festive. ‘Donovan Miller’ expressed it for a lot of people: ‘Well deserved bro. This week was awesome!’

So, what are the actual items of the bundle? Although the precise contents and price will not be announced until it is in the store, these Icon Series drops generally contain the character skin, a matching back bling, a pickaxe, and sometimes a wrap or emote. It’s a complete set to showcase your favorite creator in the game. And with CouRage’s distinctive style, you can be sure it’s going to be attention-grabbing.

The countdown with just 72 hours left is torturous for some players. ‘Slickkillajoka’ expressed the agony, saying, ‘Ugghhh why’d you have to remind me of the remaining days! I was doing so good, now they are gunna start dragging again.’ We understand. The wait for a new skin to drop is always the toughest.

The journey for CouRageJD has been a wild ride on platforms like Twitch, and this milestone is a huge win for creators on PlayStation and Xbox as well.
