The Arctica and Snow Patroller skins appear for the first time in the Fortnite Battle Royale Item Shop. Snowstorms are raging in Fortnite and these skins seem perfect if you like adventure and... cold. Complete your outfit with the Pinkaxe harvesting tool and you'll be ready to brave the freezing temperatures of Apollo Island.
Also on offer are the Krampus skin, Krampus' Little Helper glider and Brat Catcher harvesting tool to remain in the Christmas folklore.

General Information
The Item Shop in Fortnite Battle Royale is refreshed daily, and offers new cosmetic items for use in the game.
These purchases are strictly decorative, and do not offer any advantage in game.
There are four types of items in the shop:
- Skins that change the appearance of the character you control.
- Gliders that change the appearance of the parachute you use to descend onto the island,
- Harvesting equipment that changes the appearance of the pickaxe your character uses to destroy objects on the map and collect resources.
- Emotes are animations that your character can perform on command.
- Animations can consist of a simple wave, acrobatics or dances.
- Each animation has its own sound effects, and almost all the dances are accompanied by a melody of their own.
The shop is divided into two parts: the Featured Items section, which contains items that are generally more rare, more expensive and typically remain available in the shop for forty-eight hours.
The second is Daily Items. and always contains two skins, two emotes, a glider and a pickaxe. Items in this category are less rare and less expensive, and only remain available in the shop for 24 hours.
