Item Shop Appearances[]
Backbone has appeared in 17 different Item Shops, on 14 different days.
|
Why are there shops labelled as 'parts'? For varying reasons, Epic Games may decide to add or remove items from the Item Shop before the usual rotation occurs. The Fortnite Wiki treats each change to the Item Shop within a single day as a separate 'part' that makes up the day's Item Shop History. |
Why are there two different numbers for Backbone's appearances? Backbone has, on at least one occasion, appeared in more than one shop in a single day. This has resulted in its count for appearances in the Item Shop being higher than the amount of days it has appeared in it. Both counts are listed by the Fortnite Wiki in order to be as accurate as possible, unlike other sources. |

Out here, the road's all that matters.

Ride fast. Ride Hard. Live free.
Backbone
Don't let the wastelands claim you.
Backbone
You look like a good fit for the Riders. Interested?
Ask about...
Need some riding advice?
First encounter
The road's the only home I need.
Chiara's Chums
The wasteland needs someone dedicated to making life better. For everyone.
Megalo Don and his marauders think that's them.
But it's Chiara's Chums that'll make the difference.
Power Chord, Ruckus, Riot. We're all on the same page.
Just need Chiara to be our leader.
Megalo Don
Megalo Don's all about the Nitro. Rest of us don't seem to matter much.
Ain't no way to be leader. Even in this wasteland.
Someone needs to show him that.
Anything strange?
Sometimes, I'll be out on a ride.
Just me and the breeze.
And then...something else. SOMEONE else.
But every time I look around, no one's there.
Ask about... The Riders
The wasteland needs someone dedicated to making life better. For everyone.
Megalo Don and his marauders think that's them.
But I know it's my Riders that'll make the difference.
Power Chord, Ruckus, and I might disagree on the name, but we're on the same page.
All we need's a leader.
