How to Get Predator Badlands Dek Skin in Fortnite (November 2026) Complete Guide

You can get the Predator Badlands Dek skin in Fortnite by buying it from the Item Shop for 1,500 V-Bucks. It went live in the October 28, 2026, 8 PM ET shop rotation as the final Fortnitemares 2026 collab, and it rotates back out on November 4, 2026. Open the Shop tab, find the Predator section, then grab the Dek Outfit or the 2,000 V-Bucks full bundle. Here’s everything I verified about prices, styles, and deadlines.

This drop matters more than most collabs — it’s the first new Yautja skin since the Chapter 2 Season 5 Battle Pass Predator from 2021, and it finally brings the star of the 2025 Predator: Badlands movie into the game.

How to Buy the Dek Skin in Fortnite (Step-by-Step)

I grabbed Dek the night he dropped, and the whole purchase took under a minute:

1. Launch Fortnite and open the Item Shop tab from the lobby.
2. Scroll to the Predator section under the Fortnitemares banner.
3. Select the Dek Outfit (1,500 V-Bucks) or the Predator Badlands Bundle (2,000 V-Bucks).
4. Press and hold the Purchase button until the circle fills.
5. Head to your Locker and equip Dek with your favorite style.

Can’t find him in-game? Buy him on the official Fortnite web Item Shop instead — he’ll be waiting in your locker at your next login. Want to gift him instead? You’ll need two-factor authentication enabled, the recipient must have been your friend for at least 48 hours, you can send five gifts per 24 hours, and gifts can’t be refunded.

All Predator Badlands Bundle Items and Prices

Here’s the full breakdown, straight from the shop:

Buying everything separately costs 3,200 V-Bucks, so the bundle saves you 1,200 — an easy call if you want the Plasma Sword pickaxe modeled on his movie weapon. The outfit includes edit styles that flip between his Mask Off and Mask On looks, and the Thia Back Bling is Elle Fanning’s android, who literally rides on Dek’s back in the film. Epic nailed both designs.

Pro Tips Before You Buy

• Don’t wait for a second rotation. Fortnitemares 2026 ends November 1, when the Treasure Hunters mini-season takes over. Licensed sets do return eventually, but Epic never guarantees a date — treat November 4 as the real deadline.
• Level while you hunt. The Final Spritemare event runs 2x Sprite XP through October 31, so farm your pass progress while rocking Dek.
• There’s no Plasmacaster this time. Unlike some movie crossovers, this collab is purely cosmetic — don’t go hunting for a mythic cloaking device in the loot pool.
• Build the horror squad. Dek pairs perfectly with other 2026 collabs like the Obsession Nikki skin bundle, and the free Amazing Digital Circus skins cover the lighter side of your locker.
