One of the most appealing aspects ofFortniteis its crossovers with many well-known properties. Skins based on popular movies, TV shows, and video game series are all represented inFortnite, resulting in gaming’s most eclectic cast of playable characters ever. As chaotic as the game’s current collabs can be, there are always more opportunities for skins to surprise players.
Like with many other video game franchises, theBorderlandsseries already has some representation inFortnitewith the Psycho Bandit skin. This might not be the end of this crossover, however. A leak has revealed anotherBorderlandscharacter could make their playable debut inFortnitevery soon - Mad Moxxi - and this could be the perfect setup for her addition as a DLC Vault Hunter inBorderlands 4.
Moxxi Could Be a DLC Vault Hunter Contender Thanks to Fortnite
Trustworthy leakers iFireMonkey and Shiina revealed thatBorderlands’ Mad Moxxiwill be added to theFortniteItem Shop, making her playable for the first time. This wouldn’t be the first time thatFortnitehas beaten a video game series to the punch by making an NPC playable, such as with the Exo-Stranger skin representingDestinyandCyberpunk 2077’s Johnny Silverhand. Adding Moxxi as a playable skin is a great incentive forBorderlandsfans, and could test the waters for her playable status in the series’ future.
All leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt, but this one does have some credibility to it. As well as the leakers being reliable sources, the long-awaitedreturn of theBorderlandsPsycho Bandit skin inFortnitemakes the leak much more likely. The skin didn’t appear in the Item Shop for almost five years, finally returning on June 19, 2025. Since then, the Psycho Bandit skin has made frequent appearances in the Item Shop.
The Psycho Bandit Fortnite Skin first appeared in the Item Shop on Jun 14, 2025.
Considering how often theBorderlandscollab keeps appearing inFortniterecently, it wouldn’t be out of the question for more skins to be available as part of this crossover soon. As one ofBorderlands’ best characters, Moxxi would be a great addition toFortniteand the perfect choice to promote the upcomingBorderlands 4.
Playable Moxxi in Fortnite Could Set Her Up for BL4
Despite appearing in every mainline game in the series and receiving threeBorderlandsDLC campaignsbased around her, Moxxi still hasn’t been playable in any of the games. She is a crucial part of the franchise’s identity, and while her playable status inFortniteis likely to be very rewarding for fans of theBorderlandsseries, the best way to honor Moxxi’s legacy could be to include her as a playable Vault Hunter.
Borderlands 4has already established its main cast of playable characters, but there are always opportunities for more. It has already been confirmed thatBorderlands 4will have DLC Vault Hunters, but who these are specifically remains a mystery for now. It’s possible that these could be completely original characters making their series debut inBorderlands 4, but there’s always the chance that an NPC from the series’ past could take on a playable role as DLC. Since Moxxi is a fan-favorite character, it could be the best decision to upgrade her to a playable status.
Throughout theBorderlandsseries, players learn more about Moxxi’s past, with one of her traits being that she is skilled in combat. However, this aspect of the character is rarely seen in-game. Her potential addition toFortnitefinally gives Moxxi a more active combative role, butBorderlands 4could take this further. By makingMoxxi one ofBorderlands 4’s DLC Vault Hunters, the violent side of the character can finally be brought forward, showing players a version of her that they have yet to see throughout the series.
More Fortnite Borderlands Skins Could Be Added
With the hints that Moxxi will be added toFortnite, it wouldn’t be unlikely for moreBorderlandscharacters to be included too. The series has many iconic characters to choose from, but very few are as memorable asBorderlands’ previous Vault Hunters. After playing as these characters throughout the games, it is easy for players to grow fond of them and their individual personalities. IfFortniteis looking to make its collab withBorderlandseven more appealing to fans, adding characters like Lilith and Zane could be worthwhile.
This could also be used as an opportunity to promoteBorderlands 4’s existing Vault Hunters. Each of the game’s playable characters could be added toFortniteprior to the release ofBorderlands 4, getting players used to the cast before committing to one choice inBL4. Though theBorderlandsskins inFortnitewon’t have anywhere near as many abilities as they do inBorderlands 4, it could still be an incentive for players to use the new characters early.
As Moxxi’s possibleFortniteinclusion would make her playable for the first time, otherBorderlandsNPCs could get the same treatment. Handsome Jack is easilyBorderlands’ best villain, and is arguably one of the best in all of gaming. Though his doppelganger was one of the Vault Hunters inThe Pre-Sequel, Handsome Jack himself was not playable. While it is very unlikely that he will return to theBorderlandsseries, a skin inFortniteis not out of the question, and could be the best way to let players play as the “real” version of the iconic villain.
Borderlandscollaborating withFortniteagain is great for fans of both games, but the potential addition of Moxxi as aFortniteskincould be hinting at something more. Giving Moxxi a playable role feels as though it could be leading up to her being on ofBorderlands 4DLC Vault Hunters. Her appearance inFortnitemay be enough for some fans, but giving the character her own abilities and skill trees inBorderlands 4is something that the battle royale cannot match. Until the DLC Vault Hunters are revealed, though, players can enjoy the Psycho Bandit skin inFortnite, and may possibly be able to look forward to the arrival of Moxxi soon.
