I stand at the edge of the Battle Bus, the wind whipping through my red beard as I gaze upon the sprawling island below. No longer am I delving into the cavernous depths for precious minerals; today, I hunt for something far more elusive – a Victory Royale. The transition from the darkness of Deep Rock Galactic's mines to the vibrant landscapes of Fortnite feels surreal, like stepping from one dream into another.

A Dwarf Among Giants

How strange it feels to trade my pickaxe for shotguns and assault rifles! Yet there's a familiar comfort in the chaos, the rush of adrenaline as I drop from the sky that reminds me of descending into unknown caves. In 2025, the collaboration between these two worlds has created something truly magical for players like myself.

The weight of my grappling hook is gone, replaced by the freedom of building structures at will. I find myself whispering 'Rock and Stone' under my breath as I eliminate opponents – old habits die hard, even in this new battlefield.

The Treasure of the Item Shop

For those wishing to walk in my boots, I come with a modest price tag of 1,200 V-Bucks in the Item Shop. A bargain, if I do say so myself! Though I stand alone without my LEGO variant or additional cosmetics, my presence brings the spirit of Deep Rock Galactic into every match.

For the true believers, the Deep Rock Galactic Bundle awaits at 1,800 V-Bucks, a treasure trove containing:

• My complete Scout skin

• An iconic Back Bling

• A mining-inspired Pickaxe

• A themed Wrap

• Two legendary Rock & Stone emotes

Six items for such a price! Have you ever seen such value in the Item Shop before? I think not!

From Caves to Victory Royales

The journey from Deep Rock Galactic to Fortnite feels like crossing universes. In my home game, I am part of a band of four dwarves, mining through destructible environments, uncovering riches, and battling alien monsters in procedurally-generated caves. The camaraderie, the danger, the thrill of discovery – all translated surprisingly well to the battle royale format.

Sometimes in the quiet moments, as I crouch behind cover waiting for the storm to close in, I miss my fellow miners. The gunner with his overwhelming firepower, the driller with his tunneling prowess, the engineer with his platforms – we were a team, a brotherhood forged in the depths.

A Limited Time Adventure

The clock ticks relentlessly forward. My time in the Item Shop draws to a close on September 6th at 8 PM ET. How fleeting these opportunities are! One moment you're available for purchase, the next you're gone, perhaps never to return to the shop rotation.

I've noticed how Fortnite has evolved in 2025, with collaborations becoming more immersive than ever before. Yet there remains something special about being a dwarf in this land of giants, superheroes, and iconic characters from across the multiverse.

The Soul of a Miner

What sets me apart from other Fortnite characters, you ask? Perhaps it's the heart of a miner that beats beneath this digital exterior. Where others see elimination counts, I see veins of gold to be claimed. Where others hear gunfire, I hear the echoes of pickaxes striking stone.

The Scout may be just another competitor to some, but to those who know Deep Rock Galactic, I represent something more – the indomitable spirit of dwarven miners, the thrill of exploration, and the bond of brotherhood that transcends games.

A Call to Arms

So, will you join me in this strange new battlefield? Will you don my red beard and bring the spirit of Deep Rock Galactic to the island? For 1,200 V-Bucks, you can experience Fortnite through the eyes of a dwarf who knows that the greatest treasures are often found in the most dangerous places.

Time runs short, my friends. September 6th approaches like an unstoppable cave-in. Grab your pickaxe, ready your emotes, and let's show these Battle Royale competitors what it means to fight with the heart of a miner!

Rock and Stone, to the bone! ⛏️

Are you ready to drop from the Battle Bus with the spirit of Deep Rock Galactic? The caves may be different, but the heart of a dwarf remains steadfast – whether mining for gold or fighting for a Victory Royale.
