Summary:
- The Fortnite x Borderlands crossover is giving a special privilege to players who have come to love both games.
- Pre-ordering Borderlands 4 from the Epic Games Store will reward you with the Mad Moxxi bundle, containing a Moxxi skin and more items.
- While the bundle and its contents will eventually be available in the item shop much later, those who pre-order will get the extra flex of showing off their new cool skin earlier than everyone else.
Moxxi’s coming to Fortnite, and you have the chance to get her ahead of her official arrival in the Item Shop! For the battle royale’s collaboration with the Borderlands franchise, Fortnite is introducing a new cosmetic bundle featuring Mad Moxxi. Most will have to wait until its Shop appearance in late September, but pre-ordering Borderlands 4 can just let you claim the skin immediately! Read this guide to know more.
Pre-Order Borderlands 4 to Get the Skin Early
The fastest way to get the Mad Moxxi Fortnite skin is by pre-ordering Borderlands 4. It’s required that you purchase it from the Epic Games Store and use the same Epic Games account for Fortnite. If you do this before September 12, 2025, at 11:59 PM ET, you will automatically receive the full Mad Moxxi bundle! Once you log in to Fortnite after the transaction, the bundle will appear automatically in your locker.
Mad Moxxi Fortnite Bundle Inclusions
Here’s what you can find in the bundle:
- Mad Moxxi Outfit (Shader On and Off variants)
- Moxxi’s Tip Jar Back Bling
- Underdome Megaphone Pickaxe
- Moxxi-themed weapon skins
- Custom Moxxi emote
When Will Mad Moxxi Appear in the Item Shop?
If you’d rather not buy Borderlands 4, there’s still a way to get the Mad Moxxi Fortnite skin. The bundle will be available for direct purchase in the Fortnite Item Shop from September 29 to October 6, 2025, for 2,800 V-Bucks. This gives all players a chance to add Mad Moxxi to their locker without needing to pre-order the game.
Mad Moxxi and the Fortnite Borderlands Collab
Mad Moxxi is one of the most iconic characters in the Borderlands series. She’s appeared in every mainline Borderlands game and holds a cult-favorite status among fans. Adding her to Fortnite not only expands the metaverse-style crossover Fortnite is known for. This bundle and the collaboration as a whole celebrates the official launch of Borderlands 4 on September 12!
This is the second time Fortnite has collaborated with the Borderlands franchise, the first being the Psycho Bandit skin in 2019. That makes Mad Moxxi the first Borderlands character in six years to join the game’s roster. And it’s not only in Fortnite that this is big news. Borderlands 4’s release is something that’s highly awaited by many gamers, and without a doubt, Mad Moxxi fans.
Important Notes and Warnings
While the offer to get the Mad Moxxi bundle in advance is obviously a good deal, you should know that you’ll only be able to claim it in a specific way. In some different scenarios where you didn’t “fully” pre-order the Borderlands game, these notes may be helpful.
- Only purchases made through the Epic Games Store qualify for the bonus
- Buying Borderlands 4 from other platforms such as Steam or PlayStation Store will not grant you the Mad Moxxi bundle
- If you attempt to refund your Borderlands 4 purchase after receiving the skin, the bundle will be removed from your Fortnite locker
- If you’ve already bought any items from the bundle in the Item Shop before buying the game, Epic will compensate you with the V-Bucks equivalent instead of duplicating the items
Conclusion
Want to celebrate Borderlands 4’s exciting release on September 12? Well, what better way to do it than with a “temporarily exclusive” Mad Moxxi Fortnite bundle? When the game drops at midnight, you’d already be gracing Fortnite’s battles with this absolutely charismatic character.
Pre-ordering Borderlands 4 through the Epic Games Store is the only way to get it early and for free. But if you prefer to wait, mark your calendars for September 29 when the skin officially lands in the Item Shop. Don’t miss your chance to grab this iconic skin before it’s gone!
