Summary
Back BlingsinFortniteare cosmetic items that allow players to customize and personalize their characters to suit their tastes. Players equip Back Blings on the back of their characters purely for aesthetic appeal, meaning they can’t be used as weapons on the battlefield.FortniteBack Blings are available in various styles, sizes, and themes, but many players desire to own some of the rarest and most unique.
LikeFortniterare skins, rare Back Blings are hard to come by, with some only making a few appearances inFortnite’sItem Shop. Some of the rarest Back Blings only appeared once, while others were available for a limited time, contributing to their rarity. As a result, there’s an extensive collection of rare Back Blings that fansmay never see inFortniteagain.Most of these Back Blings haven’t been seen for years, but many fans hope Epic will bring them back due to their consistent habit of vaulting and unvaulting items.
5Buckled
Part of The Buckled Bundle
TheBuckledBack Bling was first introduced toFortnitein Season 5 as part of the Buckled Bundle. Players had to purchase the bundle for 800 V-Bucks to obtain the Buckled Back Bling. It only made two appearances in the Item Shop and was last seen inFortniteon July 20, 2025.
Despite its generic design and look, it’s one of the rarest cosmetics in the game due to only being available for a few months. Similarly, players had to purchase an entire bundle to get their hands on this Back Bling. As a result, only a few players own this rare cosmetic, and it’s highly unlikelyFortnitewill unvaultit anytime soon.
4Lazer Wings
Part of the Major Lazer Bundle
Lazer Wingswas a rare Black Bling released alongside the Major Lazer Outfit in 2019. Players had to purchase the outfit for 1,600 V-Bucks to get Lazer Wings. Alternatively, they could purchase the Maor Lazer Bundle for 2,400 to get the skin, Back Bling, Lazer Axe, emote, and more items. This Back Bling was last seen inFortnite in 2021.
Although Lazer Wings made 13 appearances inFortnite, it’s quite rare since Epic discontinued the Major Lazer bundle. As this was the only way players could own the Lazer Wings Back Bling, players can no longer purchase it from the Item Shop. Unless Epic decides to bring back the Major Lazer Bundle, this Back Bling will remain one of the rarest items inFortnite.
3Spirit Cape
Released in Chapter 1, Season 6
Spirit Capeis one ofFortnite’smost unique Back Blings, designed to resemble a superhero’s cape. It was first introduced in Chapter 1, Season 6, and has since appeared in the Item Shop 6 times. To obtain the Spirit Cape, players had to purchase it for 1,500 V-Bucks, and it came with the Dante Outfit.
Spirit Cape was last seen inFortnitein 2020, and only a few players own it, contributing to its rarity. Due to the Back Bling’s unique look, many players want Epic to bring it back in-store, but there have been no reports of it’s return.
2Response Unit
Purchase an Eligible NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Card
Response Unitwas first released inFortniteSeason 7 and only made 2 appearances in the game before being discontinued. To obtain the Response Unit Back Bling, players had to redeem a code for the GeForceFortniteBundle. The bundle was obtained by buying an eligibleNVIDIA GeForce graphics cardbefore the release of the Back Bling in the Item Shop.
Since this was a promotional Back Bling, it was only available for a limited time. So, once the promotion with NVIDIA GeForce ended, the Response Unit Back Bling was removed from the Item Shop. Later on,Fortnitereplaced the Response Unit with the Stealth Response Unit Back Bling.
1Rust Bucket
Free Item for Players
TheRust BucketBack Bling was first introduced toFortniteon July 13, 2025, as a free reward for players experiencing server login issues. At the time, many players reported problems withFortnite’ssystem that prevented them from logging in to play. Once Epic fixed the issue, they awarded players a free Back Bling to show their appreciation for fan support and patience.
SinceFortnitedidn’t have a massive player base in 2018, only a few got their hands on Rust Bucket. So, many players today who were not part of the game don’t own this rare Back Bling, and it may never return to the shop again.
