Fortnite players, hold on tight because the Item Shop has dropped its new entries for Sunday, May 11, 2025, with a slew of hot items. Why does Epic have to keep putting these fire skins up for us while we’re all broke? Shall we dive in before the FOMO gets real?

Let’s start: lazy folks, no judgments here-you could just go into the web store and the SAC code gets applied automatically. Yeah! No copy-pasting this time-eyes really, just click on the link and watch the discount magic. The official Fortnite account even threw in some SAC codes for those who want more: FireMonkey and W1q. Not sure how long they last, so maybe treat them as a Season 1 OG skin, sitting back and appreciating in value? Spoiler: It won’t.

And what is truly being offered in the store? The tweet did not spill all of its beans (classic Epic), but with respect to past drops, you are looking at a wholesale mix of repeats and maybe a new collab just around the corner. Remember that mid-season drop of the Naruto skin-well-that broke the internet. Yeah, today might be one of those days. Or another round of meme-ish emotes-they basically steal your V-Bucks.

If you belong to the “I only buy skins that come with SAC codes” crowd, congrats, because today is your day. FireMonkey is ad-tagged (so of course you know it’s legit), and W1q is-anonymously so-a discount nonetheless. Don’t go whining when it’s actually some third-party sketch job. Pro tip: Stick to official links unless you’re eager for some account-security nightmares.

Here’s for all you lore nerds: Item Shop update is not a cryptic hint to the storyline of the next season. Just stop overanalyzing the color of a back bling-it’s just not that deep. But if you ever see a skin that looks even half legit to be from the next battle pass, do me a favor and hit me up on Twitter. Or better yet, just don’t bother. I’ll probably ignore that.

So, shop away. Spend responsibly-or don’t, we’ve all been there-and pray your main skin doesn’t get discount next week. It hurts more to buy something full price and see it discounted a few days later. Eh, what was I saying? Ah, Fortnite. Go get your drip before the shop resets and leaves you with last season’s leftovers.
