Sugar Fortnite Bundle, Cosmetics, and Estimated Prices
Finally, dataminers have also revealed that the Sugar skin will be sold in a Fortnite bundle that includes a unique pickaxe and additional items. Epic Games has also confirmed that Sugar will get a Nitemare Cat sidekick that will be sold separately.
Here are the cosmetics included in the Sugar Fortnite skin release and their estimated prices:
| Cosmetic | Item type | Estimated price |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar | Outfit | 800 V-Bucks |
| Sugar Back Bling | Back Bling | 300 V-Bucks |
| Sugar Pickaxe | Pickaxe | 500 V-Bucks |
| Nitemare Cat | Sidekick | 1,200 V-Bucks |
The above prices areestimated and not confirmed by Epic Games. We based our outfit, Back Bling, and Pickaxe pricing on the previous Spice skin bundle that was released during Fortnitemares 2025.
That said, the Sugar skin seems a lot more detailed and has multiple edit styles. We also don’t know if the Nitemare Cat sidekick will be included in the bundle as well as being sold separately.
