We’ve been seeing a lot of Leon S. Kennedy lately. News of the Resident Evil 4 remake is everywhere, with the recent demo delighting and exciting fans and newcomers alike.

Now our favourite wisecracking cop is hopping over to Fortnite, along with his Resident Evil 2 ally Claire Redfield. While there won’t be quite as much gore here, we’re sure they’ll be just as badass as they were in Raccoon City.

If you’re a fan of both Fortnite and Resident Evil, keep reading. We’re going to walk you through all we know about the crossover, and how to get these two characters.

What’s included in the Fortnite X Resident Evil crossover?

With these two characters comes a few fitting items (exactly what you’d expect from zombie survival experts). Leon comes with Attaché Case Back Bling, and, of course, a Combat Knife Pickaxe. It’s the weapon of choice when the undead get too close.

Along with Claire, we’ll be getting the R.P.D. Keys Back Bling (well knows to fans of Resi 2), and an Umbrella Parasol Pickaxe. We’re not sure why they’re flying the red and white colours of the enemy, but hey ho!

How to get the Resident Evil skins in Fortnite

There are a few ways to grab these skins and items. You could buy everything individually, or purchase the whole Resident Evil collaboration bundle. The latter one is probably the cheaper option, but have a look in the shop and make your own choice!

Either way, we hope you enjoy kicking butt as these iconic characters. We certainly will.
