The Fortnite Brainrot set is expected to release on April 1, 2026, at the Item Shop reset (8 PM ET). The bundle includes Tung Tung Tung Sahur, Ballerina Cappuccina, two pickaxes, two wraps, and is expected to cost 3,300 V-Bucks.
Yes, you read that right. The viral AI Brainrot characters are officially coming to Fortnite, and this is not an April Fools joke.
After months of leaks, rumors, and fan speculation, dataminers have confirmed that Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Ballerina Cappuccina are both headed to the battle royale as playable skins. The new Fortnite Brainrot set was confirmed following the April 1 update, where the cosmetics were decrypted from the game’s files.
Here is everything you need to know, from release times to prices and every cosmetic item included in the set.
What Is the Fortnite Brainrot Set?
The Brainrot set is a new collection of Fortnite cosmetics built around the wildly popular AI-generated Brainrot characters that have been taking over TikTok and social media for months.
The two headline skins in the set are Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Ballerina Cappuccina, both of which have amassed huge online followings. Dataminers have now shared our first proper look at how these characters will actually appear inside the game, and they look exactly as bizarre and charming as fans were hoping.
This is one of the more unexpected Fortnite collabs in recent memory, especially given that the Brainrot characters originate from TikTok creators rather than a major entertainment franchise.
When Does the Tung Tung Tung Sahur Skin Release in Fortnite?
According to popular Fortnite dataminer ShiinaBR, the rumored release date for the Tung Tung Tung Sahur skin is Wednesday, April 1, 2026. The skin is expected to go live when the Fortnite item shop resets, which typically happens at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET.
It is worth noting that ShiinaBR used the word “rumored,” so the date is not 100% locked in. That said, the April 1 update already had the cosmetics hidden in its files, which makes it very likely that the launch is imminent.
Here is a full breakdown of release times by region:
| Region | Local Time | Date |
|---|---|---|
| North America (PT) | 5:00 PM | April 1 |
| North America (ET) | 8:00 PM | April 1 |
| Canada (ET) | 8:00 PM | April 1 |
| United Kingdom (GMT) | 1:00 AM | April 2 |
| Europe (CET) | 2:00 AM | April 2 |
| Japan (JST) | 9:00 AM | April 2 |
| Brazil (BRT) | 9:00 PM | April 1 |

All Fortnite Brainrot Cosmetics and Their Prices
The Brainrot set is surprisingly packed. Beyond just the two skins, there are pickaxes, weapon wraps, and a full bundle deal. Here is everything included:
- Tung Tung Tung Sahur (Skin): 1,500 V-Bucks
- Ballerina Cappuccina (Skin): 1,500 V-Bucks
- Tung Thunker (Pickaxe): 800 V-Bucks
- Ballerina’s Spoon-Erina (Pickaxe): 800 V-Bucks
- Tung Tung Tung Wraphur (Weapon Wrap): 500 V-Bucks
- Wrappuccina (Weapon Wrap): 500 V-Bucks
- Fortnite Brainrot Bundle: 3,300 V-Bucks
Is the Brainrot Bundle Worth Buying?
If you plan on picking up multiple items from the set, the Brainrot Bundle at 3,300 V-Bucks is likely your best bet. Epic Games typically offers around a 40% discount on new skin bundles, and this one appears to follow the same pricing structure.
Buying both skins, both pickaxes, and both weapon wraps individually would cost you 5,600 V-Bucks in total. The bundle brings that down significantly, which makes it a solid deal if you are a fan of the Brainrot characters.
There is one interesting wildcard here. Since Tung Tung Tung Sahur and Ballerina Cappuccina are not from a major IP like Marvel, Star Wars, or a major gaming franchise, Epic Games could potentially price the cosmetics lower than usual. These characters come from a TikTok creator, not a Hollywood studio, which changes the licensing game entirely. If that happens, the bundle could end up being even cheaper than expected.
Why Is This Collab Such a Big Deal?
Fortnite has done hundreds of collabs over the years, from superheroes to musicians to fast food mascots. But the Brainrot collab feels different.
These characters did not come from a studio with a massive marketing budget. They blew up organically on social media through short-form video content, driven entirely by audience engagement. The fact that Epic Games recognized that cultural wave and turned it into an in-game collab shows just how seriously the company takes internet culture.
For younger Fortnite players especially, seeing Tung Tung Tung Sahur in the item shop will feel like a full-circle moment.
