The Stone Cold Steve Austin outfit landed in Fortnite on April 16, 2026, as part of the WWE Wave 3 collaboration. It's a paid Item Shop cosmetic, not a reward or challenge unlock, and it sits in the shop alongside a Liv Morgan skin released the same day.
Where to find the skin in the Item Shop
The outfit lives under a dedicated WWE section inside the Item Shop, grouped with the other wrestling cosmetics Epic has added over the past year. You can buy the skin on its own or pick up the full bundle, which discounts the extras compared to buying them individually.
Step 1: Open Fortnite and head to the Item Shop tab from the main lobby.
Step 2: Scroll down to the WWE section, or use the sidebar category list to jump straight to it.
Step 3: Select either the Stone Cold Steve Austin bundle or the individual cosmetic you want, then confirm the purchase with V-Bucks.
Step 4: Equip the outfit from your Locker. Once purchased, it's usable across Battle Royale, Zero Build, Reload, and Save the World, which recently went free-to-play.
Price breakdown and what's in the bundle
The bundle is the cheaper route if you want more than just the character model. Buying every piece separately comes to 3,100 V-Bucks, so the 2,000 V-Bucks bundle price cuts the total by roughly a third.
| Item | Type | Price (V-Bucks) |
|---|---|---|
| Stone Cold Steve Austin | Outfit | 1,500 |
| Stone Cold Skull | Back Bling | 400 |
| The Skull Slurp Club | Pickaxe | 800 |
| Stone Cold Celebration | Emote | 400 |
| Full Bundle | All items | 2,000 |
The outfit itself recreates Austin's Attitude Era look, with the Austin 3:16 vest and jean shorts. The pickaxe leans into Fortnite's own universe, resembling an oversized Slurp Juice container rather than the wrestler's original entrance props.
The modified Beer Chug emote
Fortnite carries a Teen rating, so Austin's signature beer-smashing celebration was reworked for the game. The Stone Cold Celebration emote keeps the catch-and-smash motion and the shattered-glass audio cue from his WWE entrance, but swaps the cans of beer for glowing Slurp Juice cans.
It's a direct analog to the real move, just retooled to fit the game's content standards. If you want the emote on its own without the pickaxe or back bling, it's 400 V-Bucks as a standalone purchase.
How long the skin stays available
Item Shop cosmetics rotate out on a fixed timer. The Stone Cold Steve Austin bundle is set to leave the shop on April 23, 2,26 at 8 PM ET, giving you a one-week window from the initial release. After that, there's no confirmed return date, and Epic typically brings shop skins back at irregular intervals rather than on a schedule.
V-Bucks you'll need
If your account is short on V-Bucks, you have two main routes: buy a V-Bucks pack through the platform you play on, or earn them through the current Battle Pass and Save the World daily login rewards. The bundle requires 2,000 V-Bucks, which maps most closely to the 2,800 V-Bucks pack tier.
Save the World going free-to-play also means free players can now earn V-Bucks from mission rewards there, though the pace is slower than buying directly. Whatever route you take, the V-Bucks need to be on the same account and platform you plan to equip the skin on.
Where the skin works
Once purchased, the Stone Cold outfit is available across every Fortnite mode tied to your account, including Battle Royale, Zero Build, Reload, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, Festival, and Save the World. Emotes, pickaxes, and back blings from the bundle carry the same cross-mode access.
The skin joins a growing WWE roster in Fortnite that already includes John Cena, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, The Undertaker, and Cody Rhodes, with Liv Morgan debuting in the same Wave 3 drop.
