Just dropped into Fortnite with my man Bob Belcher, and let me tell you, watching this balding burger maestro crank 90s while wearing his iconic apron is exactly the crossover I never knew I needed in 2025. As someone who's been grinding Victory Royales since Chapter 1, seeing the wholesome dad from Bob's Burgers finally join the roster has me absolutely buzzing with excitement!

The Bob Belcher Experience

Look, I'm not saying I immediately ditched my sweaty competitive skins the moment Bob Belcher hit the Item Shop, but... okay, that's exactly what I did. For 1,500 V-Bucks, you get the full Bob Belcher Outfit, complete with that signature balding patch that somehow makes him more endearing. The attention to detail is chef's kiss - they even nailed his distinct lack of chin and that determined look of a man who just wants to sell some damn good burgers while managing his anxiety.

I've been running around the map shouting "IT'S BURGER O'CLOCK!" to my squad (they hate me now), but it's worth it. There's something hilariously incongruous about watching this everyday family man wielding mythic weapons and absolutely demolishing build battles.

The Full Bundle: Worth Your V-Bucks?

If you're on the fence about whether to go full Belcher, let me break it down for you. The complete Bob Belcher Bundle runs 2,000 V-Bucks and includes 5 items:

• Bob Belcher Outfit

• 2 Emotes (that are genuinely hilarious)

• 1 Pickaxe (spatula-themed, naturally)

• 1 Back Bling

Buying everything separately would cost you a whopping 3,200 V-Bucks, so the bundle saves you 1,200 V-Bucks. That's like... what, three months of saving your Creative XP rewards? Math was never my strong suit.

The Emotes Are Everything

Can we talk about the emotes for a second? Because they absolutely make the bundle worth it. One has Bob nervously muttering about burger ideas while pacing, and I've been using it before every final circle just to set the mood. My random fill teammates are probably questioning my sanity, but when I pull off a clutch win while roleplaying as an anxious restaurant owner, who's laughing then?

The second emote features Bob's classic exasperated sigh that perfectly captures the essence of someone who's both seen too much and somehow not enough. It's become my go-to reaction when a teammate steals my loot or when I get third-partied during a fight.

How Bob Stacks Up Against Other Crossovers

FOX has been killing it with their Fortnite collaborations lately. Between Family Guy, King of the Hill, and now Bob's Burgers, they're building quite the animated sitcom army in the battle royale. But there's something about Bob that just hits different. Maybe it's because he's the ultimate underdog - a small business owner just trying to make it work while dealing with a chaotic family.

I've tested all three FOX dads in combat situations, and I'm convinced Bob has the best hitbox. Is that scientifically accurate? Absolutely not. But I've never been headshot while crouching as Bob, and that's science enough for me.

Gameplay Strategy With Bob

When playing as Bob Belcher, I've developed a very specific strategy that I'm convinced increases win rate by at least 12.7%:

1. Land at Brutal Burgers (obviously)

2. Collect enough gold to buy burgers from NPCs

3. Distribute said burgers to teammates while roleplaying as Bob

4. Use the spatula pickaxe exclusively

5. Hide in bushes when overwhelmed (very on-brand for Bob's anxiety)

This strategy has netted me exactly zero additional wins, but it has increased my enjoyment tenfold, and isn't that what gaming is all about?

The Verdict

At the end of the day, is Bob Belcher worth your hard-earned V-Bucks? If you're a fan of the show, absolutely. If you've never watched Bob's Burgers... well, what are you doing with your life? It's 2025, we're nine seasons deep, and it's still one of the most consistently funny and heartwarming shows on television.

For 1,500 V-Bucks for just the skin or 2,000 for the full bundle, you're getting a piece of animated sitcom history that also happens to look hilarious doing Fortnite dances. I mean, have you seen Bob doing the Renegade? I have, and I can't unsee it.

So grab your spatula, adjust your apron, and drop into the battle royale as everyone's favorite struggling restaurateur. Just don't expect to win any fashion shows with that male pattern baldness.

Ready to join the burger battle? Grab Bob from the Item Shop before he rotates out, and let me know in the comments which FOX character you want to see next in Fortnite! And hey, if you use my creator code "BURGERTIME" (which definitely doesn't exist because I made it up), I'll... well, I won't know if you did, but you'll have my eternal gratitude. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go explain to my squad why I keep shouting "The burgers are all that matters!" during intense firefights.
