Fortnite and crossovers - they just go together. New collaborations are announced again and again. In our weekly series, we introduce you to one Fortnite skin at a time. Today, it's Chief Hopper from Stranger Things.
More and more characters from series, movies or other games have appeared as skins in Fortnite. To make sure you don't lose track of the story behind the characters, we'll keep you in the loop. Our weekly series returns with a really lit collaboration between Epic Games and Stranger Things: Chief Hopper.
Fortnite Skin Sheriff Hopper
Chief, or Jim Hopper, portrayed by David Harbour, is one of the main characters of the popular Netflix series Stranger Things. The series is set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. It centers around four boys who are friends with the mysterious girl known as Eleven, who suddenly appears in town and has psychokinetic abilities. One of the friends who disappear at the beginning of the first season pushes the kids to dive into the supernatural events and uncover secret government experiments.Jim Hopper is the police sheriff of Hawkins. His daughter died of cancer when she was a child, which is why he started drinking. He develops a close relationship with Eleven in the course of the series and later officially becomes her father.
Chief Hopper and the Stranger Things monster, the Demogorgon, were added to Fortnite in Chapter 1, Season 9 just in time for the start of Season 3 of the series. Previously, strange portals appeared all over the map, which was probably meant to represent something like the Upside Down from the series. Unfortunately, these two skins are the only characters in the series that made it to the island.
