Fortnite has done it again, and there are tears everywhere. No, not because we\u2019re sad about the previous leaks, but because the latest shop drop is a collab with one indie icon, The Binding of Isaac. It dropped quietly, with not much of an announcement by way of the Fortnite social media accounts, so we’ve got all the details you need right here.<\/p>\n
After one of the Binding of Isaac developers, Edmund McMillen, confirmed the collab, speculation ran wild. It turns out that the bundle consists of back-bling, a pickaxe, and an emote. The back bling is none other than baby Isaac himself, and he\u2019ll weep when you take damage – be careful out there to keep him safe. He also gets excited when you open chests – isn\u2019t that darned cute!<\/p>\n
The pickaxe resembles Mom’s Knife, the iconic weapon that causes division amongst Isaac fans. Still, the Knife looks really cool in the Fortnite shop, so the difference in opinion won’t affect interest in it. As for the emote, we\u2019d have loved to see the player in the fetal position, but instead, the player holds Binding of Isaac boss ‘Duke of Flies’, featuring flies buzzing around. Still pretty cool.<\/p>\n
