The Shaq skin in Fortnite was first introduced in Chapter 5 Season 4 with update v31.30. Shaquille O'Neal needs no introduction by any means. The man is well-known not just for being a former professional basketball player but also as an actor and the owner of Big Chicken.

Following in the footsteps of LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Shaq is the third NBA personality to be added to the Metaverse.

Both of Shaq's characters have their very own LEGO Styles, allowing you to use them while exploring new LEGO Fortnite seeds. Just remember to be careful as the open world can be unforgiving at times. With the NBA legend shrunk down to size, he won't be the largest or tallest entity out there.

Here is how you can get the Shaq skin in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.
