New leaks have unveiled a Beavis and Butthead bundle set to drop in Fortnite, following the characters' controversial stint in Call of Duty.
Fortnite has been quick off the mark in incorporating pop culture icons into its gameplay, so much so that players are left guessing who might be next. The Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 Battle Pass saw the addition of characters from Halo and Power Rangers, just the beginning of a long list that includes Fortnite Gorillaz leaks leading to a Festival season and appearances from Ash Williams and a particularly cartoonish Edward Scissorhands.
The influx of cosmetics seems never-ending, leaving many to question the inclusion of certain characters. Enter Beavis and Butthead.
These animated MTV legends caused quite a stir when they joined Call of Duty in Season 5, with many players citing their arrival as evidence of the franchise's departure from its military simulator origins, opting instead for more frivolous additions to boost cosmetic sales. The characters are at least partially responsible for Black Ops 7 ditching silly cosmetics, suggesting a new home for them is well overdue.
Who can fathom why Fortnite has chosen to include Beavis and Butthead? They're cartoonish by nature, fitting in well with the game's aesthetic, but nobody really asked for the characters to make an arrival, as they don't exactly rival the pop culture giants like Peter Griffin or Goku, and many players are likely too young to remember their dominion of MTV. Regardless, they're en route, and their full bundles have been unveiled by leakers for all to see.
So, what does the Fortnite Beavis and Butthead skins bundle contain? And when can we anticipate its arrival? Here's the lowdown.

In summary, if you're eager to bag all of these cosmetics, the bundle price isn't too shabby – but due to the free built-in Emote for Beavis, it's clear that players are quite unlikely to snap up Butthead on his own.
