Please check the in-game Fortnite Shop for a complete representation and all cosmetic options. There might be slight variations for how items may look in-game.Item Shop Appearances[]
Brainiac has appeared in 55 different Item Shops on 51 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 Brainiac's appearances? Brainiac 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. |
