Fortnite has brought back numerous rare skins over the past few months. Psycho Bandit, a popular skin from Season X, returned in May, after being in the vault for nearly five years. Shortly after that, Epic Games brought back Street Fighter skins, which hadn’t been available since 2022.

Now, it’s time to bring back one of the rarest Fortnite skins that was included in the starter pack. According to a recent leak, Epic updated this skin, and it will return on Thursday at 8 PM Eastern Time.

One of the rarest Fortnite skins will return soon

Back in June 2020, Fortnite players had an opportunity to play one of the most unique seasons. This was in Chapter 2 – Season 3, when more than half of the island was flooded. In the second week of the season, Epic Games released the Yellowjacket Pack, adding several cosmetics that would become extremely rare.

The pack was available for more than two months, but hasn’t returned since August 2020. Due to this, Yellowjacket is one of the rarest skins in the game. However, this won’t be the case for too long, as the pack will return soon. Besides the skin, which has two styles, the pack includes a pickaxe, a back bling, and 600 V-Bucks.

On Thursday night, Epic Games will also bring back the Mecha-Pop Pack. This is another rare pack, as it was last seen in June 2022. It includes a couple of cosmetic items, V-Bucks quests, and access to Fortnite: Save the World.

While waiting for the return of Yellowjacket, make sure to unlock all the free skins in Fortnite before they expire.
