Fortnite has released thousands of cosmetic items over the past seven years, and some of them have become quite rare. A couple of cosmetics haven’t returned in more than 2,000 days, while more than 100 of them were last seen four or more years ago. On Friday night, several rare cosmetics returned, and some of them were last available in 2021.

If you’ve been looking to obtain some Fortnite items that haven’t been out for a while, here is your chance!

The return of rare cosmetics in Fortnite

Epic Games brought many rare cosmetics back with the last reset of the Item Shop. Nine of them were last seen a year ago or longer, while the shop also contains Christmas-themed cosmetics that were last available in December 2023. This shop has certainly been one of the best in recent weeks, especially for those looking to get a rare emote.

At the moment, you can purchase three emotes that were last seen 1,000 or more days ago. Here is an entire list of all the rare Fortnite cosmetics that returned on Friday and were last available 365 or more days ago:

  • Ride Along emote – 373 days
  • Ring It On emote – 373 days
  • Holiday Hydrant back bling – 373 days
  • My World emote – 378 days
  • Rocket Rodeo emote – 509 days
  • Cozy Holidays wrap – 705 days
  • Out West emote – 1,021 days
  • Jabba Switchway emote – 1,216 days
  • Pull Up emote -1,251 days

With the Winterfest 2024 event around the corner, we expect the Fortnite developer to bring back even more rare cosmetics over the next two weeks. Furthermore, the event will likely feature several free cosmetics, allowing us to expand our collection of skins without spending V-Bucks.
