Rust Bucket

What is the lore behind Rust Bucket in Fortnite?

Rust Bucket is one of the rarest Back Blings in Fortnite. The cosmetic boasts a simple yet effective design with Rust Bucket being constructed with pieces of scrap metal, adding to its rough and tough feel. Since Rust Bucket was released before the storyline was established in the game, there is no lore attached to this Back Bling.

However, that has not hindered it from becoming a powerful symbol for OG players, especially with its ties to Rust Lord, an iconic skin in the game’s cosmetic library. The item’s official in-game description reads: “Got a screw loose? It's probably in here.”, further highlighting its scrappy nature while serving as a throwback to a simpler time in Fortnite.

What are the cosmetics related to Rust Bucket in Fortnite?

Can you buy Rust Bucket in Fortnite?

While Rust Bucket was released in the Item Shop, it was a limited-time item released only as compensation for the game facing server login issues lasting approximately 17 hours. Unfortunately, the item was available to be claimed for free during a short span of days, and it is highly unlikely to return to the shop ever again. For players who do own the Back Bling, it is not possible to use it while exploring LEGO Fortnite seeds.
