The Fortnite x Saw Collaboration has long been confirmed. This is thanks to various teasers around the island, including a television with Billy asking players if they want to play a game. Then, Billy and other horror icons showed up on an official Fortnite loading screen. Now, leaks are coming forth that suggest this will be more than just a skin crossover. It’s for Fortnitemares, but the Item Shop won’t be the only thing plagued by Billy the Puppet.

Leaks for Fortnite x Saw
Currently, the Billy skin is encrypted, but given its appearance on the loading screen, we know it’s coming to the game. Billy is small, so it will have to be stretched out. He also, as a puppet, almost always rides a tricycle to move around, so Epic Games may have to get creative to bring this character to the metaverse. The Fortnitemares event doesn’t start for almost two weeks, so the skin will presumably remain encrypted for a little while.
According to leaker ShiinaBR, the Fortnite x Saw Item Shop cosmetics should be released on October 11. This will give players ample opportunity to buy the skin before the event. In a little over a week, look for Billy and whatever cosmetics he comes with to land in the shop. He will presumably have a glider (perhaps his iconic trike), an emote (probably asking if anyone wants to play a game), a pickaxe, and more. Epic Games may add a bundle for Fortnite x Saw as well.
As for the in-game crossover, there will reportedly be a Mythic. It is expected to be called “Boom Billy.” Per ShiinaBR, this will bring in a Saw-themed Cuddle Team Leader bomb on the Billy Bike that targets enemies. It’s unclear exactly how this will work since it’s not out and there’s no video of it. For now, that’s what we know, although much of this information is in the form of leaks. We can’t confirm this until Epic does or it shows up in the game.
