You need to get these bad boys on your back right now!
Fortnite has always been on-point with its cosmetics. Especially, the back blings have always stood out. The game was changed when the first animated, pet back bling was released in season 6.
I’ll list down some of the best back blings, loved by the whole community including some of my favorites.
15. Rocket
Item display
Rocket raccoon is a loved character in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie series. He was introduced in Fortnite and the community adored the idea of having rockets on their backs.
What makes Rocket raccoon Great:
- The raccoon floats on your back.
- The Animation is neat.
- Rocket has an eye-catching color theme.
How to get it:
- Could be obtained from Chapter 2: Season 4 Battle Pass.
14. Royale Shield

Royale shield is as OG as it can get. This was one of the first back blings in the game. Even after 4 years, this will still get your attention in the pre-game lobby.
What makes Royale Shield Great:
- It’s an OG back bling.
- Nice color combination.
- You look like a knight with it on.

12. R2-D2
Item display
R2-D2 was a treat for people who love Star Wars. This little robot had such an important role in the series; saving Anakin and many others at moments. Now it’s in the game to save your butt.
What makes R2-D2 Great:
- Compact size covers less screen.
- Looks amazing with the skins from the Star Wars series.
How to get it:
- Purchasable from the Item shop for 1500 V-Bucks.
11. Spectral Spine
Item display
This back bling has such a cold, evil vibe to it. The vibrant ribs on your back look sick with darker-shaded skins in the game. It also reminds me of the “Susanoo” wielded by members of the Uchiha clan, in Naruto.
What makes Spectral Spine Great:
- Resembles Susanoo from Naruto.
- Very vibrant outlook.
How to get it:
- Purchasable from the Item shop for 1200 V-Bucks.

Wolfpack is a thin, sharp katana resting in its case. Wielding this Katana on your back makes you look like a badass samurai.
What makes Wolfpack Great:
- The placement of the katana on your back is very well done.
- Gives a satisfying samurai look.
How to get it:
- Could be obtained from the Season 6 Battle Pass.
9. Galactic Disc

I love the look of the Galactic disc. A peek into the galaxy, wrapped in a compact circle looks so pleasing to the eye.
What makes Galactic Disc Great:
- Beautiful design.
- Very compact.
- Covers less screen.
How to get it:
- It was a part of the Galaxy set and could be obtained by playing Fortnite on Samsung Galaxy 9.
8. Bonesy

- Bonesy was the first pet back bling in Fortnite.
- The dog is very adorable.
- It has different animations.
How to get it:

7. Black Shield

Black shield, alongside the Royale shield we read about above, is the OG back bling everyone respects. This bad boy is even more famous than the Royale shield. This back bling was paired up with the red knight skin and a scarier combo could not be seen in the starting days of Fortnite.

- It has a nice dragon design.

- It is a memory-based back bling.
- The Shattered wing has a very beautiful design.
- It has a unique, butterfly shape.
How to get it:

Item display
This is the most visually-pleasing back bling among all in my opinion. Just one glance into this back bling will leave you mesmerized. I remember looking at it the first time and my jaw dropped to the ground.

- It has a unique, spherical shape.
- The Nucleus has a mesmerizing design.

4. Sapling Groot
Item display
Sapling Groot is such a cute pet to have on your back. This back bling would be the cutest in the game but it has the upcoming back blings as its competition. Baby Groot on your back will look adorable regardless.
What makes Sapling Groot Great:
- It’s a mini-Groot.
- Doesn’t cover much screen.
- Very lovable animation.
How to get it:
- Could be obtained from Sapling Groot Awakening Challenges
3. Crewmate
Item display
Not to be suspicious or anything but trust me, this back bling is definitely not the imposter among us. Among all the other back blings, this back bling would help you crouch through vents in Fortnite (Not really). Jokes aside though, this back bling looks clean on monochrome skins.
What makes Crewmate Great:
- It’s the most trustable back bling.
- The Crewmate looks sick on monochrome skins.
How to get it:
- Purchasable from the Item shop for 1500 V-Bucks.
2. The Child
Item display
The child is the most adorable back bling out of all. Just look at that baby Yoda, he looks so endearing. He floats in a little pod, called the “hovering pram” in the movie. He peeks outside to get some information about what’s going on outside the pod.
What makes The Child Great:
- It floats on your back.
- It will get you the most attention on battle Bus Island.
- This back bling wins the award of being the cutest out of all.
How to get it:
- Could be obtained from the Chapter 2: Season 5 Battle Pass
1. Merry Munchkin
Item display
Merry Munchkin is my favorite back bling and for very good reasons too. This back bling is a chained-up jar with wood attached to its back. It is where a very sassy, petty, and toxic gingerbread man sits. Merry munchkin has insane animations for certain actions. He dabs whenever you get an elimination, looks mad all the other time, shouts when you fall from the battle bus, and makes happy noises to motivate you. Overall, this back bling is an all-in-one.
What makes Merry Munchkin Great:
- It has a very sassy attitude that will make you chuckle.
- Merry munchkin dabs when you get an elimination.
- It has various animations.
- It looks intimidating to other players.
- Other players can interact with your back bling to make merry munchkin dab.
How to get it:
- Was obtained as a reward from the 14 Days Of Fortnite Challenges back in December 2018.
