10Astro Jack
Cost: 2000 V-Bucks
Featured as part of the Travis Scott set, the Astro Jack Icon Outfit is truly out of this world. Based loosely on the cover art of Travis Scott’s 2018 albumAstroworld, the Astro Jack skin sees players donning a stylized astronaut helmet with a blue-neon face decal, along with a knee-length (and brightly colored) trenchcoat. This skin also comes in a secondary color palette, dubbed the “Sicko Mode” pallet.
9Lachlan
Cost: 1500 V-Bucks
Introduced in November of 2020, the Lachlan Bundle brought with it a number of unique items to spruce up the battle royal, including the PWR Pack, PWR Slicers, and PWR Punch. However, the most noteworthy aspect of the pack is the Lachlan skin itself, named after anAustralian YouTuber of the same name, who frequently streamsFortnite. The skin features Lachlan’s signature haircut and a crisp white jacket with lightning bolt accents.
8LazarBeam
A recent addition to the Icon Outfit collection, LazarBeam’s skin follows in the footsteps of the Lachlan skin pack, as it’s also modeled after another Australian YouTuber.

After officially being released on January 31st, 2019, Marshmello’s skin proved to be one of the more interactive skins, as Marshmello’s head, shoes, and pants will light up when various musical emotes are used by the player.
4Ninja
Taking the Twitch username of thepopularFortnitestreamer Tyler Blevins, Ninja wasone of the first members of the Icon Series to be introduced to the general public. Somewhat unique even amongst the members of the series, Ninja’s outfit has four possible variants: Default, Mask On, Raven, and Reactive, each of which bring something new and different to the character. This is accentuated further when combined with the various components of the Ninja set, which adds a new emote, back-bling, and dual katanas.
3TheGrefg
Named after a Spanish content creator of the same name, TheGrefg’s skin is perhaps one of the more striking additions to the Icon Series. Taking inspiration from theDragon Ballseries, TheGrefg’s skin features a number of glowing orbs (back bling called the “Balls of Power”), as well as a series of striking reds, blacks, and yellows in honor of his Spanish heritage.
2Travis Scott
Introduced as a part of the Astronomical Bundle in April of 2020, Travis Scott needs no introduction. Along with the Astro Jack skin, both are based onrapper Jacques Webster, whose stage name is Travis Scott. Unlike many of the Icon Series, the Travis Scott skin is somewhat subdued, and serves more as an accurate (if somewhat stylized) representation of Travis Scott, depicting the rapper shirtless and in beige cargo pants. He also has a secondary style option called “T-3500,” which depicts Scott with somewhat charred pants and a more robotic appearance.
1Neymar Jr
Cost: 950 V-Bucks
The most recent addition to the Icon Series, the Neymar Jr skin holds the unique distinction of beingthe first athlete in the seriesand being the first Icon Series outfit that can be obtained in the Battle Pass. His outfit sports the green, blue and yellow uniform of Brazilian soccer player Neymar de Silvia Santos Jr, who the pack is named after. The uniform also comes with an all-black variant, with a subtle black texture to boot.
