Customize Your Own Mando and Find New Mythics
Headlining this week’s content is the fully customizable Mandalorian Skin. Players can now recreate Din Djarin or design their own Mandalorian with more options than nearly any crossover skin to date. Customization includes skin colors, capes, wraps, and matching gear from the show like the Vibro Dagger, Mando Jetpack, and Whistling Bird gadget.
The update also brings the Westar-34 blaster pistols—Jango Fett’s signature weapons—into the loot pool. These fully automatic pistols excel in close-quarters combat and can now be paired with a rare-to-legendary version of the Amban Sniper Rifle.
To help players kit out faster, Fortnite has introduced five different Mandalorian NPCs across the island. Each one plays a specific role—like selling gear, scanning areas, or healing your team with chug splashes—and offers a strategic advantage during battle.
OG Styles Return, iOS Is Back, and the Empire Strikes Again
This week wasn’t just about the Mandalorians. Longtime players finally got rewarded with the return of Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper OG styles in sleek black-and-gold variants.
And after years of court drama, Fortnite has officially returned to iOS. Players can once again download the game from the App Store on iPhones and iPads. This came after Apple blocked last week’s update, prompting Epic to get a judge involved to resolve the issue.
To rub it in, Epic is bringing back the Tart Tycoon skin—a direct reference to their feud with Apple. The previously rare skin will now return through another event this season, offering players a second chance to earn this piece of Fortnite history.
More Crossovers, Secret Quests, and What’s Next
Among the surprises this week is a potential crossover with Poppy Playtime. The game’s creators have confirmed partnerships with both Minecraft and Fortnite, sparking rumors that Huggy Wuggy could soon arrive as either a skin or creative map character.
Dataminers also uncovered a Darth Vader voice line referencing a character in a yellow and red suit with a bald head and no facial features. Fans believe this all but confirms Saitama from One Punch Man is coming—especially with the next season being superhero-themed.
And yes, there’s a new superpower called “Shove” on the horizon. It allows players to push enemies away, and while it’s currently only confirmed for Creative mode, it’s expected to appear in BR soon, either as part of a superhero or Star Wars power.
Looking even further ahead, Speedstorm—Disney’s racing game—has been discovered in Fortnite’s UFN files. This could mean that vehicles and cosmetics from Speedstorm will be shared across Fortnite, continuing Epic’s dream of cross-platform progression between games like Rocket League, Minecraft, and Roblox.
General Grievous Secrets and Final Star Wars Phase
For those who’ve unlocked General Grievous, there’s more to his model than meets the eye. His cyborg chest reveals internal organs, and his second style is based on his pre-Separatist form. Epic even modeled his face under the mask—a detail barely visible in gameplay or even in Star Wars media.
The Star Wars season has only two phases left. On May 29, one player per match will be able to control a Star Destroyer’s orbital cannon—a potentially overpowered but undeniably awesome endgame feature.
Meanwhile, over in Fortnite OG, players are seeing familiar signs of the comet’s return. TVs in Tilted Towers broadcast Morse code messages like “it’s happening again,” echoing the original meteor event. Audio analysis reveals a new spectrogram image: “Savor the W,” a nod to the classic “Take the L.”
