Last week, “Fortnite” kicked off a new season with “Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season OG,” which takes players back to the original “Fortnite” Island during Chapter 1 Season 5. The update also came with a reworking of the game’s Item Shop, which also got an OG rework featuring just a small curated selection of classic, mashup, and fresh items each day. On Sunday, the shop refreshed with a collection of new and returning “Stranger Things” cosmetics, some of which haven’t been seen since 2019.
New “Stranger Things” Fortnite Cosmetics
The new items released for “Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season OG” are an Eleven outfit, which includes three different styles inspired by “Stranger Things 3” and “Stranger Things 4.” The main outfit features Eleven in jeans and suspenders with a collared shirt with a splatter design, as seen on the character in “Stranger Things 3.” The alternate styles for the outfit feature Eleven in her white isolation chamber outfit she wore in “Stranger Things 4” while working with Dr. Owens and Dr. Brenner. For this outfit, you can play Eleven with a shaved head or Eleven with the brain monitoring cap on. The outfit also comes with a waffle Back Bling.
Also from “Stranger Things 4” is the new Hopper’s Cabin Diorama Back Bling, which has two selectable styles: the traditional diorama made by Eleven in “Stranger Things 4” or a more ominous Upside Down variant featuring the cabin shrouded in darkness and fog.
The shop features two new Stranger Things-inspired pickaxes, the first of which is Eddie’s Spear, inspired by the makeshift weapon crafted by Eddie Munson in “Stranger Things 4.” Fans can also grab Steve’s Bat as a pickaxe, which, of course, has been Steve Harrington’s weapon of choice at various points throughout the “Stranger Things” series.
Rounding out the new releases for this season is a new emote called “Telekinetic Power Breakfast,” which features a box of frozen waffles that is opened using telekinesis and then spins waffles around the player’s head and then ultimately in a sad face and smiley face formation before falling to the floor. Fortnite showed the emote in action on social media, which you can see below:

Returning “Stranger Things” Cosmetics
For fans like me who missed out on “Stranger Things” in “Fortnite” the first time around, two outfits are making their return from “Fortnite” Season 9, including Chief Hopper who has two styles, with or without his hat and the Demogorgon.
All of the “Stranger Things” Fortnite cosmetics will be available in the Item Shop in “Fortnite” until Monday, November 6 at 7 PM EST.
