Fortnite’s Doc Brown skin is great for Back to the Future fans, but it’s missing one thing

I wish you fully knew how much joy it brings me to combine work with Back to the Future. Not only do I get to name the most perfect movie in existence, but I also get to play the two main characters Fortnite. Yes, now that Michael J. Fox’s Marty McFly is available in the Battle Pass, it’s time for the new Doc Brown Fortnite make skin shine. Christopher Lloyd’s beloved scientist isn’t alone, but he’s missing something.

After weeks of leaks and rumors about launch dates, Dr. Emmett Brown now available for purchase in Fortnite Item store. For 2,000 V-Bucks, the Doc Brown Bundle provides you with Hill Valley’s top scientist, a Flux Capacitor Back Bling, Doc’s Time Machine Harvesting Tool, and the Battle Bus Time Machine emote. It also features Huey Lewis and News’ The Power of Love as a jam track. I wouldn’t have minded Back in Time either, but hey, The Power of Love is still a nice addition.

You’ll notice that Doc Brown’s look is directly modeled after his appearance in the first thirty minutes of Back to the Future, wearing a radiation suit at Twin Pines Mall. I’m not denying how cool it is… but Epic Games is making a glaring omission. Where’s his Back to the Future 2 outfit? After picking up Marty and moving to 2015, Doc’s discussions have improved significantly. Unfortunately, Doc’s alternate style simply puts on his radiation mask helmet.

It’s an odd decision, considering Marty’s secondary Battle Pass outfit gives players access to his son’s adjustable jacket and tie-dye cap from BTTF2. You can even combine it with the famous Nike MAGs, a pair of self-closing shoes. Perhaps Epic Games will go a similar route to The Simpsons and release some additional variants to get your precious V-Bucks. If that’s the case, let’s bring in an Einstein sidekick too. I mean, he’s technically the world’s first traveler.

Doc Brown is accompanied by the DeLorean, a separate bundle in itself. For a slightly higher price of 2,500 V-Bucks you can get the legendary time machine, with various cosmetics and decals to customize it. If you already own it in Rocket League, you should get it for free when you start the game. Check your locker if you’re not sure. Conversely, if you buy it from the Item Shop, you own it in Rocket League.

There are some fantastic Fortnite skins to admire throughout the game’s history. John Wick was my favorite character for a long time, but Marty McFly is the current staple. I mean, come on, he might be the coolest movie character in history. Just look at the IV and those damn Nike Bruin sneakers. Doc Brown leaves the Item Shop on December 30, 2025, so don’t hesitate to get him.
