The highly anticipated Fortnite x Saw Collaboration has been confirmed through various teasers scattered across the island. One of the most notable teasers includes a television featuring Billy inviting players to play a game. Subsequently, Billy and other iconic horror characters made an appearance on an official Fortnite loading screen. Now, leaks suggest that this collaboration will go beyond just introducing skins into the game. It is set to be a part of the upcoming Fortnitemares event, with Billy the Puppet haunting not only the Item Shop but also other aspects of the game.

Insights into the Fortnite x Saw Collaboration Leaks
While the Billy skin is currently encrypted, its appearance on the loading screen indicates that it will soon be available in the game. Given Billy’s small stature and characteristic mode of transportation on a tricycle, Epic Games may have to adapt creatively to bring this unique character into the metaverse. With the Fortnitemares event set to begin in nearly two weeks, the skin is likely to remain encrypted until then.
According to reliable leaker ShiinaBR, the Fortnite x Saw Item Shop cosmetics are expected to launch on October 11, providing players with an opportunity to acquire the skin before the event commences. Players can anticipate the release of Billy along with accompanying cosmetics such as a glider (potentially his iconic tricycle), an emote featuring his signature game invitation, a themed pickaxe, and more. Epic Games might also introduce a bundle for the Fortnite x Saw Collaboration.
Additionally, rumors suggest the introduction of a Mythic element known as “Boom Billy,” which is speculated to involve a Saw-themed Cuddle Team Leader bomb on the Billy Bike that targets enemies. While specifics about this feature remain undisclosed until its official release, the information provided serves as valuable insights based on leaks. Confirmation of this content awaits either official announcement from Epic Games or its appearance in the game.
