Everything in the Obsession set
Four items total, all themed on the film's most recognizable moments.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Nikki outfit | Nikki Freeman in the red-and-black top from the party scene at Ian's house. Includes the "Splatter" edit style, which covers her face in soot — a censor pass on the blood shown in the movie, tied to Fortnite's new "Animated Blood" rating descriptor. |
| One Wish Willow back bling | The willow-tree prop from the film. Reportedly plays a sound on eliminations. (Not to be confused with the One Wish Willow Sprite you can already find roaming the island.) |
| Nikki's Broken Bottle pickaxe | The bottle from the scene that made the meme — Harvesting Tool form. |
| No No No... emote | The "no, no, no, don't do that" scene as a prop emote. Plays a special version when used while wearing the Nikki outfit. |
