Fortnite adds new “Stonks” Diamond Hanz skin for April Fool’s
Epic Games have decided to surprise fans on April Fool’s day with a brand-new skin in the form of Diamond Hanz, who you’ll recognize from WallStreetBets, Stonks, and tendies.
April 1 is a day that’s always full of surprises, and Fortnite players have received a very pleasant one this year. Season 6 has already won over fans with its various new features, and Epic Games have decided to release a new skin for April Fool’s day.
The Diamond Hanz skin is based on the popular ‘Stonks’ meme, which makes it the perfect pick for this day. It’s part of the game’s “To the Moon” set, and here’s what we know about this new addition.
If the terms ‘To the moon,’ ‘diamond hands,’ and ‘Stonks’ seem unfamiliar to you, know that they’re part of the lingo that investors have used while driving up the price of Gamestop stock.

The bundle contains the Diamond Hanz skin, along with the ‘Gains’ backbling that you might recognize as the arrow from the meme. Considering the date, adding the Stonks skin to Fortnite is certainly an amusing decision.
The best part is that it’s not just an April Fool’s joke, and you can actually purchase the skin from the Item Shop for 1,200 V-Bucks. Epic Games have also brought back the Egg Launcher, along with a new foraged item: Hop Drops.
This tribute to the WallStreetBets crowd is certainly a fun little addition that Fortnite fans are going to enjoy playing with. Even though Season 6 just started, the developers have started making it a memorable experience for players.
In addition to this bundle, we’ve also seen the introduction of other new cosmetics through the Spring Breakout event. You can unlock the free Webster skin by participating and playing well in the season’s first tournament.
