Highlights
- The Terminator skin is now available in Fortnite, allowing players to embody Arnold Schwarzenegger's iconic character. It comes with a battle-damaged style and detailed styles to show the robotic skeleton underneath the face.
The iconic T-800 Terminator comes online in the flesh on Fortnite in the second Terminator x Fortnite collab. Fans can get their hands on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s most iconic character and drop onto the Fortnite island as the Terminator. Sadly, the metallic skeleton of the Terminator won’t save players that use this skin from bullets, but it will certainly look visually indestructible.
For those Fortnite players seeking the Victory Royale, the Terminator skin is another great addition. Fans always love every Fortnite update to see what the latest collab skin is. From Marvel to Dragon Ball Z, Fortnite seems to always go above and beyond with their collabs, and Terminator is just the latest to emerge with his gun at the ready.
Where To Get The Terminator
Players can head to the Fortnite Item Shop to find the Terminator skin, alongside a bundle containing all the cosmetics and emotes available in this collab. Terminator joins Fortnite in Chapter 4, Season 3, making him yet another sci-fi character for the ‘WILDS’ season, as he joins Transformers’ Optimus Prime and the Futurama Planet Express crew.
Players may have to scroll through the Fortnite Item Shop to find Terminator, as he is not the featured outfit at the top of the shop. Instead, he might be a few pages down. Players will be able to find him as part of the Future War set, which will also involve the T-800 and Sarah Connor.
How Much Is The Terminator Skin
The Terminator skin in Fortnite will cost players1,500 V-Bucks. This is the normal price range for a skin like this, and players can expect to obtain the Terminator outfit along with a backbling for this price. Alternatively, players can purchase the Terminator Bundle, which will come at the price of2,300 V-Bucks, which will save players 1,000 V-Bucks from buying every other item separately.
If players just want the Terminator skin, then 1,500 V-Bucks is the asking price. It’s a great collaboration, and fans of the Terminator franchise and especially fans of Arnold Schwarzenegger will want to pick up this skin, as the likeness is remarkable, and it also comes with detailed styles to show the robotic skeleton underneath the face.
What Does Terminator Come With
As a recent Fortnite collab, the Terminator skin comes with a few goodies if players purchase the Terminator Bundle set. Alternatively, all these items listed can be purchased separately, with their price listed for those interested:
Terminator
“Come with me if you want to live.” The selling point of the bundle, the iconic Terminator. This version of the character seems more in line with his Terminator 2: Judgement Day attire, proving that the reprogrammed cybernetic organism is here to help Sarah Connor get the dub in Fortnite. Players can purchase this skin for 1,500 V-Bucks. It also comes with a Battle Damaged style, in which the endoskeleton is revealed. Players also have the option to take the Sunglasses off.
Skynet Llama
“I’ll be (on your) back.” Joining the Terminator skin is the Skynet Llama Back Bling. Players just need to purchase the Terminator skin for 1,500 V-Bucks to get this additional Back Bling. It’s a cute enough llama, the iconic animal of the Fortnite brand. Although, this one was built by the evil Skynet, remaining in theme with the set.
Mimetic Poly-Alloy Blades
“Disarmed from Skynet’s Terminator Model T-1000.” A very neat callback to Terminator 2, the Mimetic Poly-Alloy Blades is a pickaxe that can be purchased for 500 V-Bucks. Players can dual wield these T-1000 arms to show victory over the superior Skynet Terminator, which the T-800 with Sarah and John Connor defeated long ago.
HK-Aerial
“Hunt from the skies.” One of the reasons Skynet becomes so deadly in the future isn’t just from their use of Terminators, or the fact that they set off the world’s supply of nuclear weapons. The fact that Skynet owns the skies with their HK-Aerials makes them a grave threat, and it appears as a glider for 800 V-Bucks for the Terminator to make use of as he glides down to the Fortnite island.
Tow Truck Surfer
“Cruise through canals and anywhere else.” One of the best items from the Terminator bundle is the Tow Truck Surfer, a unique emote from the Terminator franchise. This emote is traversal, meaning players can use it to walk around the map. For 500 V-Bucks, players can pick up this emote, which players the iconic and licensed Terminator theme music. Another neat addition is the inclusion of a tiny version of Peely in the driver seat.
When Will Terminator Leave The Item Shop?
Terminator entered the Fortnite Item Shop on July 30th, and the date that he is removed is currently unknown. Like most new Item Shop additions, and collab skins, it’s expected that Terminator and the Future War set will remain in the shop for a few weeks.
However, players that want to pick up the Terminator shop should do so fast, as the Item Shop has a random and unreliable rotation, especially with the licensing issues they may face, as some of the best Fortnite skins have not been seen in the Item Shop for years.
Fortnite is free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, iOS, and Android.
