The Fortnite Battle Royale Item Shop is offering some novelty today! Bash skin and Razor Smash harvesting tool are making their first appearance. Players can also pick up the Yule Trooper skin, the Branch Basher pickaxe and the Ho Ho Ho wrap for a more Christmassy look.
Also on offer are the Rey, Finn & Sith Trooper skins, and both the First Order TIE Fighter glider and Riot Control Baton pickaxe for that galactic vibe.

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.
Epic Games have announced that the inaugural season of Chapter 2 has been extended to February 2020. This is to allow extra time to prepare for the end of year celebrations.
