Fortnite players who missed out on the rare Psycho Bandit skin from the Borderlands crossover finally have another chance to grab it. This highly sought-after cosmetic last appeared in May 2020 and is part of the Gaming Legends series, known for its limited availability tied to intellectual property agreements. Its unexpected return has stirred quite a reaction among fans.
The Return of Psycho Bandit
The Psycho Bandit bundle originally launched during Season X as part of the promotion for Borderlands 3. It includes:
- The Psycho Bandit Outfit
- A Claptrap Pet accessory
- Psycho talk Axes harvesting tools
When available, this set was priced at 2,000 V-Bucks, approximately $20 USD at standard conversion rates. Since it vanished from the item shop more than five years ago, collectors and fans desperate to own this bundle often resorted to third-party sellers, where prices soared.
Before its recent reappearance on April 28, 2025, listings for the Psycho Bandit bundle cost upwards of $1,000 on sites like eBay. Some sellers held onto their overpriced auctions even after Epic Games made it available again in-game, with one listing still asking nearly $1,800 despite being able to buy it directly through Fortnite’s store.
If you want to add this rare item to your locker without breaking the bank or risking account safety through third-party purchases, now’s a good time. The bundle is scheduled to remain available until May 4, 2025. After that date, there are no guarantees whether it will return soon or remain unavailable for an extended period.
This situation reflects ongoing challenges with skins tied to external properties and how their availability depends heavily on licensing terms rather than player demand alone.
