Fortnite fans can gear up for a new wave of Star Wars content as Epic Games prepares to drop Mandalorian-themed cosmetics, weapons, and NPCs into the Battle Royale universe. Leaks confirm that the long-awaited Mandalorian Warrior skin and related items will hit the Item Shop on May 22 at 8 PM ET, marking a major update in Fortnite’s Galactic Battle mini-season.
Release Date and Full Item List
Thanks to well-known leakers including HYPEX and iFireMonkey, fans now have full visibility into what’s coming. The Mandalorian Warrior set includes both cosmetics and returning gear from past collaborations, offering players multiple purchase options based on their preference and V-Buck budget.
- Mandalorian Warrior Skin: 1,800 V-Bucks.
- Vibrodagger & Personal Shield Pickaxe: 800 V-Bucks.
- Mandalorian Cape Back Bling: 400 V-Bucks.
- Beskar Forge Emote: 300 V-Bucks.
- Whistling Bird Salute Emote: 300 V-Bucks.
- Champions of Mandalore Bundle (Full Set): 2,500 V-Bucks.
Buying the bundle gives players access to the complete Mandalorian set at a discount compared to purchasing each item separately.
Mandalorian Weapons and Island Updates
Alongside the cosmetic release, Epic is introducing gameplay content tied to the Mandalorian theme. This includes several NPCs and returning weapons:
- Amban Sniper Rifle: A fan-favorite from earlier Star Wars crossovers.
- Mandalorian Jetpack: Offers enhanced mobility and is expected to reappear on the island.
- WESTAR-34 Blaster Pistols: A previously unreleased dual-wield weapon option tied to Mandalorian lore.
These items are rumored to arrive around 9 AM ET on May 22, likely in sync with new Story Quests and special events involving Mandalorian characters.
What Else Is Happening in Fortnite’s Star Wars Season?
The current Galactic Battle season launched on May 2 with a surge of content including an AI-powered Darth Vader NPC, Jar Jar Binks skins, and narrative quests. However, content updates slowed for over two weeks—until patch v35.10 re-ignited the season with more Star Wars content. The Mandalorian release is set to further expand this storyline while spacing out new content drops.
Final Thoughts
With iconic Star Wars gear, character skins, and immersive quests on the way, Fortnite’s May 22 Mandalorian update is shaping up to be one of the biggest content drops this season. Players eager to step into Mandalorian armor—or collect a full Beskar-themed loadout—should prepare their V-Bucks and keep an eye on both the Item Shop and in-game map changes throughout the week.
