The Fortnite x TMNT Cowabunga event brings plenty of free rewards, doubling down on the collab and bringing iconic villain Shredder to the game. Here’s how to get Shredder in Fortnite, as well as all the other rewards up for grabs, including the Krang Back Bling.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 has delivered plenty of major crossovers with popular franchises already. Family Guy’s Peter Griffin arrived as part of the Battle Pass before Solid Snake was added alongside his iconic Cardboard Box Mythic.

Players have also been treated to a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collaboration, as all four brothers received their own skins. The devs doubled down on the crossover with the special Cowabunga event, bringing Shredder and more into the mix.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite TMNT event, including how to get the Shredder skin and claim the Krang Back Bling.
