To survive a Battle Royale, you need the spirit of a warrior, plus the courage of a classical soldier. This helps on the court too…

Basketball star Giannis Antetokounmpo slams his way into the Fortnite Icon Series. Double team the competition with the Giannis Antetokounmpo Outfit and Hoplite Giannis Outfit, as well as accessories based on each one. Both of these Outfits — plus their related accessories — will be available in the Item Shop starting Saturday, December 24, at 7 PM ET.

  • Hashmark Hatchet Pickaxe: Cut through the competition.
