The Fortnite Item Shop today lets us take on the role of Big Chuggus, a Legendary-quality skin which you can pick up for 1,500 V-bucks. You can also grab his Double Tap harvesting tool for 1,200 V-bucks.
Other notable items include the Mullet Marauder, available both as a set (together with accessories) or solo, and the sinister Cloaked Shadow skin.
The new Snake Eyes skin remains available at 1,800 V-bucks.

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.
The deployment of Patch 15.30 has allowed dataminers around the world to identify files of unpublished cosmetics which could emerge in the coming weeks on Fortnite.
