The Terminator skins are back in Fortnite: Here’s how to get them

Fortnite cosmetics inspired by The Terminator are once again back in the Item Shop. In 2026, they have been added on three different occasions before, with the previous one being in June.

Comprising the Terminator promo are three outfits modeled around Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator, T-800, and Sarah Connor. While the former was first introduced in 2023, the latter two were inserted into Fortnite’s skins catalog earlier in 2021. Moreover, Terminator and T-800 skins cost 1,500 V-Bucks, whereas the Sarah Connor skin is selling for 1,800 V-Bucks. All these items belonging to the highly popular sci-fi film series are up for grabs until August 14, 2026, at 5 PM PT or 8 PM ET.

Wrapping up

Besides The Terminator, quite a few different sci-fi behemoths have also collaborated with Fortnite over the years. These names include some of the biggest in the category and range from spacefaring franchises such as Star Wars to dystopian future classics such as Robo Cop. In the coming years, it will be interesting to see which new IPs are added to the list.
