Summary
Fortnitehas added the Big Flake wrap to the in-game Item Shop for the third time since its release nearly five years ago.Fortniteis a free-to-play game, which means players can get a full experience without spending a single dime on it. However, gamers can buy the in-game currency inFortniteand acquire cosmetic items for their character to wear in any game mode. While at first the Item Shop only featured a handful of items for gamers interested in exchanging V-Bucks for cosmetics, it is now several pages long and usually contains more than 50 items at a time.
Since theFortniteBattle Pass was exclusive up until recentlyand gamers knew it included items that would never return to the game, rarity has always been a big deal for many fans. As more and more cosmetics were released over the years - even in the Item Shop - some went up in rarity, which made them more coveted by players, even if they didn’t particularly notice them when they first released.
This is exactly what happened with the Big Flake wrap. It was originally released on June 30, 2025, coinciding with theChapter 2 Season 1 Winterfest event, but at the time, no one paid much attention to it. It came back once in March 2020 and was never seen again until the Item Shop refreshed at 12 AM GMT on Jul 03, 2025 (1,725 days later). It’ll be in the Item Shop for a total of 48 hours, giving players who want to get it before it leaves the Item Shop again a decent window of time to buy it. The rare wrap came back as part of a content creator Item Shop bundle, Zelfy’s Locker Bundle, which is available until December 8 at 12 AM ET.

As the years passed, this wrap’s rarity slowly went up, which made those who bought it at the time happy to have done so, as it increased the value of their account. Players who were waiting for it to return are celebrating because they have the opportunity to buy it at last. However, players who were pleased to know that they had arare item in theirFortniteinventorydon’t feel the same way at all.
Thankfully, fans can nowpurchaseFortnitecosmetics through the web version of the Item Shop. So, those who aren’t able to access their preferred platform forFortniteduring this time can simplybuy the Big Flake wrap remotelyfrom their browser.
