Boom Boom Bass — Fortnite's New RIIZE Emote and How to Get It

Boom Boom Bass is an Icon Series dance emote in Fortnite, built around the song of the same name by South Korean boy band RIIZE. It arrived in the Item Shop on February 20, 2026, during Chapter 7: Season 1, and is priced at 500 V-Bucks.

Quick answer: Open the Fortnite Item Shop, search for "Boom Boom Bass," and purchase it for 500 V-Bucks. The emote will appear in your locker immediately.

What Boom Boom Bass Is

Boom Boom Bass belongs to Fortnite's Icon Series, a cosmetic tier reserved for collaborations with real-world musicians, creators, and cultural figures. The emote is classified as a Dance Emote, which means it automatically syncs to the tempo of any nearby Jam Track. Other players can also join in when they see you performing it, making it one of the more social emote types in the game.

The in-game description is simple: "Feel the bass." The accompanying audio samples RIIZE's track, with the looping hook — "Boom-ba-doom, boom, boom, bass" — playing while your character dances. The emote has both an intro segment and a looping segment, so it continues as long as you hold it.

Boom Boom Bass Price and How to Buy

The emote is available exclusively through the Fortnite Item Shop for 500 V-Bucks. There is no battle pass unlock, quest reward, or bundle alternative. Once purchased, it stays in your locker permanently.

To confirm the purchase went through, open your locker, navigate to the Emotes tab, and look for Boom Boom Bass. You can equip it to any emote wheel slot from there.

Boom Boom Bass is usable across a wide range of Fortnite experiences, though not every single one. Here's the full breakdown:

Game ModeSupported
Battle RoyaleYes
Save the WorldYes

Fortnite FestivalYes
LEGO FortniteYes
Fortnite BallisticYes

The emote works in both LEGO Fortnite Odyssey and LEGO Fortnite Brick Life. It is one of over 1,275 emotes currently compatible with LEGO Fortnite. Rocket Racing and Fall Guys are the only two modes where it cannot be used.


The RIIZE Collaboration

RIIZE is a K-pop group whose track "Boom Boom Bass" serves as the musical foundation for this emote. The collaboration follows Fortnite's long-running pattern of licensing popular songs and turning them into purchasable dance emotes under the Icon Series banner. Previous Icon Series emotes have featured artists ranging from Travis Scott to BTS, and RIIZE's inclusion continues Epic Games' push into K-pop crossovers.

The emote's lyrics, partially in Korean, loop through the chorus: "We got that boom-ba-doom, on my bass / 우린 좀 더 lower, lower, lower / We want that." The choreography matches the energy of the original track.

Technical Details

Boom Boom Bass was added to the game files in Update v39.50. Its internal base ID is EID_FenderJazz, and the LEGO variant carries the style ID JIDO_EID_FenderJazz. These identifiers are mostly relevant for data miners and API trackers, but they confirm the emote shipped as a single cosmetic with a dedicated LEGO adaptation rather than a separate item.

The emote name remains "Boom Boom Bass" in nearly every supported language, from English and Korean to Arabic and Japanese. The one exception is Traditional Chinese, where it's localized as 轟隆低音. The in-game description varies by language but carries the same meaning — feel the bass.


Boom Boom Bass is a straightforward Item Shop purchase with no limited-time gating announced so far. If you're a fan of RIIZE or just want a dance emote with a heavy bass loop, 500 V-Bucks is the only barrier. Keep in mind that Icon Series items can rotate out of the shop and return on unpredictable schedules, so grabbing it while it's listed is the safest move.
