It doesn't matter that Fortnite's player base is young and children. Ghostbusters nostalgia is eternal, apparently, and Epic is well aware of this, updating Fortnite's item store to include 10 new skins and other cosmetics based on the supernatural comedy classic.
But if you're a rabid Bill Murray or Dan Aykroyd fan, you may be disappointed; Epic's Ghostbusters skin is basically a handsome Fortnite avatar dressed in the iconic brown jumpsuit, black boots, and gloves that Only.
To their credit, these all look like new Fortnite avatars, so it's not just a costume over an existing asset.
There are quite a few Ghostbusters skins to choose from, so take a look at the gallery below.
There are five masculine and five feminine ones. Of course, there's the iconic ghost armband, the weird yellow leg horse that goes nowhere, the belt gizmo, and much more. Plus, there are enough zippers for Final Fantasy characters to make some money.
Each skin is 800 V-bucks when purchased individually (the price of a typical skin), or 2,000 V-bucks per pack for all five male or female variants.
Thankfully, Epic has several other iconic Ghostbuster cosmetics available.
There is a funny but strangely seductive proton pack that Ghostbusters use to aspirate spirits. Even better, it starts glowing every time you annihilate an enemy. This back bling takes 400 V-bucks.
If the proton pack isn't enough, the spirit trap is also cosmetic: for 400V-bucks, you can wear a prison for ghost ants on your back.
Finally, there is the 800V-Bucks proton pickaxe and the 1,200V-Bucks ecto-glider. The former uses electrical energy to create sparks, while the EctoGlider is designed to look like the classic Ghostbusters Ectomobile, repurposed from an ambulance and topped with emergency lights. [If you really want to get your hands on a Ghostbusters skin (or 10), be sure to act fast, because you never know when Epic might take them down or bring them back.
While you're here, don't forget to stay tuned for lots of Fortnite guides and news. If you thought Season 4's Marvel theme was the last we'd see of the Avengers, think again, and don't forget last week's Secret Challenge if you want 20,000 free XP.
