The Control Resonant crossover outfit costs 1,500 V-Bucks and rotates out on October 1st, with a free route through the Epic Games Store.

The Dylan Faden outfit brings the Federal Bureau of Control agent into Fortnite as part of the Gaming Legends Series. It sits inside the CONTROL Resonant set, and it is available in the Item Shop right now for a limited window. If you want it in your locker, the two things that matter are the price and the removal date.

Quick answer: Buy Dylan Faden for 1,500 V-Bucks in the Fortnite Item Shop before it leaves on Oct 1, 2026 at 7:59 PM your local time (GMT-4), or claim it free by purchasing Control Resonant on the Epic Games Store.


What the Dylan Faden skin includes

This is a standalone outfit purchase. It does not bundle a pickaxe, glider, back bling, or any selectable styles, so the 1,500 V-Bucks buys the character model on its own. The skin released in Fortnite on Aug 26, 2026 as part of the Control crossover.

The design shows Dylan Faden in his FBC attire: slicked-back dark hair tied in a bun, beard stubble, a grey collared shirt, dark green utility trousers, black boots, and a long sleeveless green overcoat with FBC markings.


Buy Dylan Faden in the Fortnite Item Shop

Launch Fortnite and open the Item Shop from the main lobby.
Scroll to the CONTROL Resonant section and select the Dylan Faden outfit. The listing shows the 1,500 V-Bucks price and the set description.

Press and hold the purchase button to confirm the transaction. You need at least 1,500 V-Bucks in your account.
Head to your locker and equip Dylan Faden to use the skin in Battle Royale or Zero Build.

You know the purchase worked when the game shows the “ITEM ACQUIRED” and “1 ITEM COLLECTED” confirmation, and the outfit appears in your locker ready to select.


Get the skin free with Control Resonant

If you would rather not spend V-Bucks, you can receive the Dylan Faden outfit at no extra cost by buying Control Resonant through the Epic Games Store. Purchasing the game on that storefront grants the skin to the Fortnite account linked to your Epic account.

Use the same Epic account for both the game purchase and Fortnite so the outfit lands in the correct locker.


Shop removal deadline

The Item Shop listing states the outfit will be removed on Oct 1, 2026 at 7:59 PM your local time (GMT-4). After that point you cannot buy it directly with V-Bucks until it rotates back in, so decide before the cutoff if you plan to use the shop route.


How the skin looks and moves in a match

The outfit reads clearly on the character model, with the long green coat swaying during movement. On Spawn Island you can see the standing and idle animations before a match begins, which is the easiest place to check the cape physics and overall silhouette.

In active play, the model holds up during close-quarters fights. Firing a pistol, mantling, sprinting, crouching, and gliding all animate cleanly with the coat in motion, so the skin stays readable even in fast gunfights inside buildings.

Across an open desert area, the darker coat contrasts against the sand, keeping the character visible when scouting from rooftops and warehouse edges. That visibility cuts both ways in a real match, since opponents can spot the same silhouette.

Looting animations stay consistent too. Pulling gear from chests inside enclosed rooms, such as a pool house locker area, keeps the outfit legible against bright interior lighting while item pickup prompts appear.

The coat and darker tones can help the character blend into orange terrain and foliage during end-game positioning, though the green stands out enough that ambushes still rely on cover rather than the skin hiding you.

Between the Item Shop and the Epic Games Store, both routes place the same outfit in your locker. Pick the shop if you have the V-Bucks and want it immediately, and pick the store bundle if you also want the Control Resonant game itself. Either way, keep the October 1st removal date in mind so you do not miss the direct purchase window.
