After months of waiting and even a tad of humorous timing-where Fortnite hilariously announced his dog Louis would get an Icon Series member status before him, CouRageJD has finally joined Fortnite’s exclusive Icon Series.
Here’s everything that you need to know in order to secure this highly anticipated cosmetic.
How to Get Fortnite CourageJD Icon Skin
There are two ways to get the CourageJD Icon skin, each with different benefits and timelines. First, and perhaps easier for many, is the Item Shop purchase, which becomes available on December 17, 2025, at 7 PM ET for 3,000 V-Bucks ($24). This is straightforward, and any player can get the full bundle whenever they want.
Competitive players, however, have a golden opportunity: the Courage Icon Cup tournament on December 13. This Duos Battle Royale competition allows the top-placing players in each region to take home the entire cosmetic bundle for free four days before its official release. Even those who don’t place highest can earn the 100 Thieves Emoticon by accumulating just eight points during the event.
Bundle Contents
This bundle truly shows off its value with three different outfit variants. The main CourageJD Outfit reflects the creator’s personal style, featuring several color palettes, including white and black jacket options with his signature lion crest branding. Then comes the Final Boss Courage, which changes the skin into a fully armored knight in striking black-and-red or white-and-gold fashion, stamped with the lion logo. A reimagined Red Knight Remix skin rounds out the outfit collection, keeping classic features while incorporating CouRage’s unmistakable branding and color palette.
In addition to skins, the bundle includes matching back bling pieces, a pickaxe with the Leviathan swing animation, victory emotes with crowd cheers, a reactive wrap, and, most importantly, Louis is the very first Icon Series Sidekick, making CouRageJD’s dog canonically a part of Fortnite history.
