"May the winds take you home."

The Windwalker Echo is an Uncommon outfit in Fortnite Battle Royale, available in the Item Shop for 800 V-Bucks. Debuting in Chapter 2 Season 7 as part of the Wind Songs Set, this skin originated from Epic's Unreal Engine 5 tech demo. Initially a showcase character, Echo has now joined Fortnite's roster alongside superheroes, singers, and streamers.

This reactive skin features glowing arm tattoos that activate when you open a chest—perfect for immersive gameplay. With her background in Unreal Engine projects like Lumen in Nanite Country, Valley of the Elder, and Slay, Echo bridges cutting-edge tech and battle royale action.

Fortnite regularly refreshes the Item Shop with fresh cosmetics, and Echo is available now for 800 V-Bucks. Stock rotates, so grab her while she's here. Note: No additional items like back bling or pickaxe are bundled yet, but Epic may add them later. Expect her to cycle back periodically.
