Fortnitemares is a time when the spooky and the creepy takes over Fortnite, particularly the item shop. We always see Epic push items that fit these themes, from spooky versions of their own characters to collab skins featuring horror icons. One of the most unlikely of these has been rumored for the last few weeks. It’s now nearly here, the Jigsaw Fortnite skin.
Jigsaw is an iconic character from the Saw franchise. A movie series known for often being little more than excuses for gore. Definitely a strange choice for Fortnite. Although, we’ve already had a Fortnite skin of Michael Myers, so Fortnitemares is the time to try things like this out with.
The build-up to the Jigsaw Fortnite skin has been a bit longer, but it now looks like all the Saw content will be arriving soon. What’s coming with the new collab and how can you get the skin?

Jigsaw Fortnite Skin
The big part of this new collab is a fresh skin in the Item Shop. Of course, Fortnite’s skins usually focus on the most recognizable parts of a franchise. For Saw, that’s not the actual man behind the Jigsaw character, but the puppet Billy. The puppet character is what’s coming as a Fortnite Jigsaw skin soon!
Now the skin has been added into the files, leakers got their hands on the bundle.
It seems like Billy the Puppet is arriving stretched out to be the proportions of a normal man! Now too surprising. While Fortnite hitboxes do look different on some characters, most skins have to at least reach a minimum adult human size for them to work.
It also seems we’re getting an emote, called Billy’s Tricycle. This will let the player ride along on a bike, a traversal emote. Along with what looks like an actual saw as a pickaxe and an old TV for a back bling

In-Game Saw Items
That’s what leakers have found so far for the Jigsaw Fortnite skin. However, players think there’s a bit more coming too. There’s supposed to be an in-game item release.
This should be Billy, a throwable item that spawns a bike. It drives up to enemies and then explodes, dealing damage. It seems like a bit of a silly item but one that could have utility for some weirder playstyles.
We’re expecting the Jigsaw Fortnite skin to release pretty soon now! We’re gearing up for Fortnitemares, so it should be coming in the next update or within a few days. Since the skin is in the game, it can arrive at any point.
