Fortnite has added a new cosmetic item that players can claim without spending a single V-Buck. The KATS Turntable Back Bling went live after the July 23, 2026 hotfix. It is part of the Cuddles and Chaos collaboration with Maya Higa, and players can start claiming it from July 24, 2026 onward.
If you want to add this Back Bling to your Locker for free, here is everything you need to know.
What Is the KATS Turntable Back Bling
The KATS Turntable Back Bling is a Twitch Drop reward tied to the Cuddles and Chaos collab. It became available right after the July 23, 2026 hotfix. Players do not need to buy it from the Item Shop. Instead, they can earn it simply by watching an eligible Twitch stream.
The reward window is short. The Fortnite Twitch Drop opened on July 23, 2026, and stays live until July 26, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. After that, the free claim period ends.
