Whenever there is a new Fortnite season, players can usually expect a new set of starter packs. There are starter packs for LEGO Fortnite, Battle Royale, and Save the World. While starter packs tend to be renewed during the first couple of weeks into a season, that was not the case in Chapter 6 Season 3.
Fortnite: How to Get the Free Emerald Gamer Pack
Fortnite players can get their hands on Sage, a free skin that can join anyone's locker, so long as they meet the requirements listed below.
It seems that Chapter 6 Season 3 will only receive an original starter pack, and that is for the LEGO game mode. Battle Royale and Save the World players will instead have the opportunity to purchase packs that were in the shop five to three years ago, respectively. This guide tells players what they need to know about the Yellowjacket Starter Pack, which is returning to Fortnite for the first time in five years.
How to Get the Yellowjacket Pack (Chapter 6 Season 3)
The Yellowjacket Starter Pack has made a return to the Item Shop, giving players the opportunity to acquire it after five years of being unavailable. Players can purchase the Yellowjacket Pack for $4.49 in the Special Offers & Bundles section of the Item Shop, and it includes the following:
- Yellowjacket skin
- Yellowjacket skin (black variant)
- Backstabber back bling
- Backstabber back bling (black variant)
- Venom Blade pickaxe
- Venom Blade pickaxe (black variant)
- 600 V-Bucks
Even though it has gone up in price since its original release, this starter pack is still a great deal, as it offers several cosmetic items and 600 V-Bucks for only $4.49.
While some players are happy to see the return of this rare skin, others who own it are upset because it has lost some of its value and because they won't be able to purchase a starter pack, one of the best deals in Fortnite, and obtain their cheap V-Bucks this season.
The Yellowjacket Pack is available in Fortnite until August 12, 2025, at 8 PM ET.
When Was the Yellowjacket Starter Pack Last Seen in Fortnite?
The Yellowjacket Starter Pack was originally released June 23, 2020, and it was available until August 31, 2020 - a few days after the end of Chapter 2 Season 3. During those 69 days, players had the opportunity to purchase the Yellowjacket Starter Pack at its original price, $3.99. The price of Fortnite cosmetics has gone up since then, and it will now cost $4.49 for anyone who buys it.
Whenever a rare skin returns to Fortnite, fans tend to demand an additional style for its original owners. Therefore, gamers might be wondering if they will receive any bonus cosmetic options if they got the Yellowjacket Starter Pack when it came out five years ago, and the answer is no - none of the items in the Yellowjacket Starter Pack will receive OG variants.
