The Nightburn Highwire Bundle landed in the Fortnite Item Shop on August 31st, 2026, and it is the only way to grab the entire Chaos Operative set in one transaction. It is a remix of the older Highwire outfit, rebuilt with a bunny mask, pink neon accents, and a matching pickaxe, wrap, emote, and pair of kicks.
Quick answer: The Nightburn Highwire Bundle costs 1,600 V-Bucks (down from 3,000) and contains five items — the Nightburn Highwire outfit, Coresaw Claws pickaxe, Nightrave emote, Brightnite wrap, and Unseen Sneakers kicks. Buying the outfit on its own is 1,200 V-Bucks.
Nightburn Highwire Bundle price and contents
Every piece in the bundle belongs to the Chaos Operative set, which has exactly five cosmetics in it. That means the bundle is the complete set — there is nothing extra to hunt down later.
| Item | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nightburn Highwire | Outfit (Epic) | Two selectable hood styles; 1,200 V-Bucks alone |
| Coresaw Claws | Pickaxe | Dual-wielded, pink slashing effect |
| Nightrave | Emote | Dance emote with glowing pink fist trails |
| Brightnite | Wrap | Animated and reactive |
| Unseen Sneakers | Kicks | Pink electricity trail while moving |
The bundle is priced at 1,600 V-Bucks against a 3,000 V-Bucks list value. Since the outfit alone is 1,200, the other four items effectively cost 400 V-Bucks if you were buying the skin anyway.
The Coresaw Claws are the standout of the non-outfit items. They swing as a pair rather than a single tool, and each hit throws off a pink slash trail that matches the skin’s palette.
Hood Up and Hood Down styles
The outfit ships with two selectable styles, listed in the locker as HOOD ( UP ) and HOOD ( DOWN ). Hood up covers the head and leaves the bunny mask as the focal point. Hood down pulls it back and exposes the character’s pink hair.
To switch between them, open your Locker, select the outfit in the CHARACTER slot, and use EDIT STYLE. The change applies instantly and carries into matches.
Note: Nightburn Highwire does not include a back bling, so the back slot stays free for anything else in your locker.
How the set looks in a match
The pieces are built to read together in motion rather than in a static preview. Drop into any mode — Blitz Royale works fine for a quick look — and the effects start the moment you land.
The Unseen Sneakers leave a pink electricity trail behind you while you run, slide, or sprint. Because kicks occupy their own slot, you can drop them without touching the rest of the loadout if you would rather not have a trail marking your movement.
Brightnite is both animated and reactive, so it moves on its own and responds to what you are doing. It applies across weapon types and vehicles, including assault rifles, snipers, pistols, rocket launchers, SMGs, and boats.
How to buy the bundle in the Item Shop
If the bundle tile is missing but the individual items are still listed, the discounted bundle offer has rotated out and the pieces need to be purchased separately.
Release details and shop availability
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Epic |
| Set | Chaos Operative |
| Introduced in | Chapter 7, Season 3 |
| Added in update | v41.30 |
| First shop appearance | August 31st, 2026 |
| Scheduled to leave shop | September 5th |
| Item ID | Character_EarPsych |
This is the outfit’s first time in the Item Shop, so there is no return pattern to judge it against yet. Once it rotates out, there is no confirmed date for when it comes back.
Which modes the outfit works in
Nightburn Highwire uses a unique body model and also has a LEGO minifigure version, so it carries across most of the Fortnite ecosystem.
| Mode | Supported |
|---|---|
| Battle Royale | Yes |
| Save the World | Yes |
| Creative | Yes |
| Festival | Yes |
| Rocket Racing | Yes |
| LEGO Fortnite | Yes (LEGO style) |
| Fall Guys | No |
The math is the simplest part of the decision. At 1,600 V-Bucks, the bundle costs 400 more than the outfit by itself and hands you the pickaxe, wrap, emote, and kicks on top — and once the offer rotates out, that 400 V-Bucks shortcut goes with it.
