Brilliant Bomber Fortnite Skin - Price and How to Get It

The Brilliant Bomber is a Rare outfit from Fortnite's Sunshine and Rainbows set, and it is currently sitting in the Item Shop after a long gap from rotation. It carries the tagline "Show your shine" and uses the bright, neon-llama styling that ties it to the rest of the rainbow-themed cosmetics.

Quick answer: Buy the Brilliant Bomber from the Fortnite Item Shop for 1,200 V-Bucks before it rotates out, which is scheduled for May 31, 2026.

Brilliant Bomber price and key details

The skin is a direct Item Shop purchase with no bundle requirement, though it also appears as part of a bundle offer. The price is fixed at 1,200 V-Bucks, the standard cost for a Rare outfit.

How to get the Brilliant Bomber in Fortnite

Step 1: Open Fortnite and go to the Item Shop from the main lobby. Make sure you have at least 1,200 V-Bucks in your account before you start.

Step 2: Find the Brilliant Bomber in the outfits section. You can also open its page directly on the official Fortnite Item Shop to confirm it is still listed.

Step 3: Select the skin and confirm the purchase. The outfit will appear in your Locker once the transaction completes, which is how you know it worked.

If you do not see the skin in the shop, it has already rotated out for the day. Check back when it returns to a future rotation.

Brilliant Bomber availability and shop history

This outfit is a rare sight in the rotation. It first reached the Item Shop on December 6, 2023, then stayed out of the lineup for a long stretch before reappearing on May 30, 2026. That makes its current listing only its second shop appearance.

Because the listing is scheduled to leave the shop on May 31, 2026, the window to buy it now is short. There is no confirmed date for when it will rotate back after this run, so waiting for a return is a gamble given its history of long absences.

Sunshine and Rainbows set

The Brilliant Bomber belongs to the Sunshine and Rainbows set, a large collection of brightly colored cosmetics. Owning the outfit lets you match it with other items from the same set for a coordinated look.

If you are building out the full rainbow theme, the related Brite Bomber is the most common companion skin and appears in the shop far more often, also priced at 1,200 V-Bucks. The Brilliant Bomber is the rarer pairing, so grabbing it during this rotation locks in the harder piece of the set while it is available.
