If you thought Epic Games wouldn't release new items with tonight's Fortnite store update after it added the new Jack Gourdon outfit yesterday, well, you thought wrong. Not only did tonight's store update come packing a new outfit, but it came with a second new outfit, a new glider, and a new harvesting tool.

Dubbed the Arachnid Gear, the new items feature two new outfits, Arachne and Spider Knight, plus the Hatchiling glider and Web Breaker harvesting tool.

As you could probably deduce from the name, the new gear is spider-themed, so if you are arachnophobic, you may want to look away.



The two new outfits are both of "Legendary" rarity (yellow/orange), meaning they will cost 2,000 V-Bucks each. Meanwhile, Web Breaker will set you back another 800 V-Bucks while Hatchiling another 1,200 V-Bucks. In other words, if you want the entire set, be prepared to fork over a total of 6,000 V-Bucks, which translates roughly to $75 USD. A pretty penny to pay to just look like a spider.



As some fans have pointed out, the Arachne outfit is pretty reminiscent of Overwatch's Widowmaker, particularly its headpiece. Meanwhile, others have noticed that the Spider Knight looks a lot like one of the game's earlier Battle Pass outfits, the Black Knight. Or as one user puts it, the Black Knight in his teen phase.
