Does Skibidi Toilet confuse or scare you? You’re not alone.
Well, here we are. We now have our first look at the crossover thanks to leaker Hypex, which will launch during today’s reset.
What’s Included In The Skibidi Toilet X Fortnite Crossover
The 2,200 V-Bucks bundle consists of three cosmetics — Skibidi Plungerman (which comes with a Lego style), a Skibidi Toilet Back Bling, and a Skibidi Plunger Pickaxe.
You can buy 2,800 V-Bucks for £17.49.
The toilet is based on the Male_07 model, but since the web series is made in Garry’s Mod, a Valve sandbox based on games like Half-Life and Counter-Strike, creator DaFuq!?Boom! doesn’t own the likeness. So, as with the official Skibidi Toilet toy range, it looks a bit different in Fortnite.
As for why Plungerman is the main cosmetic, a head sticking out of a toilet, bobbing about the battle royale, wouldn’t exactly work with the game’s hitboxes. So, Fortnite has chosen to adapt one of the web series’ humanoid characters instead. But you can get a toilet backpack, anyway.
If that’s not enough Skibidi for you, Paramount Pictures announced earlier this year that it is working on a Skibidi Toilet movie and TV franchise with Michael Bay. We haven’t heard anything about the project since, but bizarrely, Garry’s Mod received a DMCA notice over its “unauthorised Skibidi Toilet games”, which was — as you’d expect — completely dismissed and thrown out.
Starting life as a tower defense game, Fortnite has become one of the biggest video games out there. Its battle royale mode dominates popular culture, featuring concerts by megastar musicians and crossovers with just about every brand imaginable, from Marvel to the NFL.
