Fortnite Freddy Krueger Skin Is Back: 2,300 V-Bucks Bundle

The Fortnite Freddy Krueger skin is back in the Item Shop: 1,600 V-Bucks for the outfit with Freddy’s Glove, or 2,300 V-Bucks for the A Nightmare on Elm Street Bundle with every item. It returned on October 28, 2026 at 00:00 UTC, and the shop data schedules it to leave on November 1 at 23:59 UTC (6:59 PM ET).

This guide lists every Freddy Krueger item and its price, whether the bundle is the better buy, when he was last in the shop, and which V-Bucks pack covers it.

Fortnite Freddy Krueger skin price: every item in the shop

Epic does not publish Item Shop prices. The prices below come from the October 28 Item Shop as recorded by Fortnite-API, a community-run service that mirrors Epic’s shop data.

The shop data lists the bundle’s full value at 4,700 V-Bucks. The 1,600 outfit listing already includes Freddy’s Glove, so buy the glove on its own only if you want it without the skin. If you already own a piece, check the bundle in your own Item Shop, because the price shown there is what you will be charged.

Is the A Nightmare on Elm Street Bundle worth it?

For most players who want more than the skin, yes.

• Skin only: buy the outfit for 1,600. It already includes the claw glove pickaxe.
• Skin plus one extra: adding the Krueger Specials kicks or the Boilermaker guitar costs 2,400 bought separately, more than the 2,300 bundle.
• Everything: 4,700 bought separately versus 2,300 for the bundle, a saving of 2,400.

In other words, the bundle costs 700 more than the outfit and adds the kicks, the guitar set, the back bling, the emote and the wrap.

When the Freddy Krueger skin leaves the Item Shop

Both times come from the shop data, which records when each entry was added and when it is set to rotate out. US clocks fall back early on November 1, which is why the leave time is 6:59 PM Eastern, not 7:59. Epic can extend or shorten a listing, so treat November 1 as the planned end date.

When Freddy Krueger was last in the Fortnite shop

Epic’s Fortnitemares 2026 announcement lists A Nightmare on Elm Street among the outfits arriving through October. The shop data shows the Freddy Krueger outfit on sale every day from October 3 to October 16, 2026, then absent until it came back on October 28. That makes this its second run in the shop, and it is shorter than the first.

Freddy Krueger should not be confused with Freddy Fazbear from Five Nights at Freddy’s, who is on a different schedule. Our Fortnite FNAF skins price guide covers that set, which is due to leave a day earlier.

How many V-Bucks you need for the Freddy Krueger skin

Epic sells V-Bucks in four standard packs: 800, 2,400, 4,500 and 12,500, according to its V-Bucks pricing notice. Matched against the prices above:

• A Nightmare on Elm Street Bundle (2,300): the 2,400 pack covers it with 100 left over.
• Outfit with glove (1,600): the 2,400 pack covers it with 800 left over, enough for one more 800 item.
• One accessory (500 to 800): the 800 pack covers any one of them.

Our Fortnite V-Bucks prices guide has the dollar cost of each pack. To send Freddy Krueger to a friend instead, the rules are in our guide to gifting skins in Fortnite. Chapter 7 Season 4 also ends on November 1, which our season end date guide covers.
