Epic Launches the Crash Bandicoot Cup, Offering the Iconic Skin for Free
Epic Games has unveiled a tournament that rewards high‑placing Fortnite players with the coveted Crash Bandicoot skin, Bandicoot Wrap, and Wumpa Collector Emote at no cost. The competition kicks off on 28 August 2026, synchronised with the release of the crossover content in Chapter 7 Season 4.
Earn the Skin by Accumulating Points in the Duos Cup
The main event runs in Duos format under Reload Mode, combining Battle Royale and Zero Build mechanics. Players must gather enough points to meet their region’s placement threshold; the higher the finish, the more points earned. Only competitors who secure the necessary position unlock the full bundle of cosmetics.
Regional Point Thresholds for Duos Cup
| Region | Placement Needed |
|---|---|
| OCE | Top 50 |
| ASIA | Top 50 |
| ME | Top 50 |
| EU | Top 500 |
| BR | Top 100 |
| NAC | Top 150 |
| NAW | Top 350 |
| NAE | Top 150 |
Reaching the required placement awards players eight points. Accumulating all eight points unlocks the Wumpa Collector Emote as an extra reward.

Mobile Variant Has a Condensed Prize Pool
For mobile players, the Cup features a Solo format with tighter placement criteria. Regional thresholds are lower, demanding fewer top spots for the same set of cosmetics.
Regional Placement for Mobile Version
| Region | Placement Needed |
|---|---|
| OCE | Top 30 |
| ASIA | Top 30 |
| ME | Top 30 |
| EU | Top 200 |
| BR | Top 30 |
| NAC | Top 150 |
| NAW | Top 30 |
Only five points are required to claim the Wumpa Collector Emote in the mobile Cup.

Purchasing the Crash Bandicoot Bundle from the Item Shop
If buying is preferable to competing, the bundle is available on the Fortnite Item Shop between 28 August 2026 and the start of the next rotation. The bundle, priced at 2,800 V‑bucks, contains the skin, the pickaxe, the wrap, the back bling, and the emote.
Follow these steps to complete the purchase:
- Launch Fortnite and open the Item Shop.
- Navigate to the “Crash Bandicoot” section to find the bundle.
- Click the bundle or any individual cosmetic, then press and hold the Purchase button to confirm.
- All acquired items load into your locker for instant use.
Alternatively, players can buy the entire Season 4 Battle Pass for broader content and V‑buck value.
Cosmetic Prices Breakdown
| Cosmetic | Price (V‑Bucks) |
|---|---|
| Crash Bandicoot Bundle (All items) | 2,800 |
| Crash Bandicoot Skin | 1,800 |
| Spyro Sidekick | 1,500 |
| Aku Aku Back Bling | 500 |
| Crash’s Wumpa Mace Pickaxe | 800 |
| Bandicoot Wrap | 300 |
| Wumpa Collector Emote | 300 |
Valve fans and browsers alike will want to acquire the bundle quickly, as the items will disappear from the Item Shop after the next rotation and will no longer be purchasable. Timing is key for those who prefer the convenience over the uncertainty of tournament play.
