Alright so today I wanted to figure out some killer Balenciaga combos in Fortnite. Kept seeing folks rock them in the lobby, looking all high-fashion and stuff, so obviously I had to mess around myself. Gotta see what actually works, right?
Diving Into The Virtual Closet
First things first, I logged into my account. Went straight to my Locker, started scrolling through the Balenciaga stuff I actually managed to cop when they dropped. Man, that set cost a pretty penny in V-Bucks, gotta say.
I decided to just pick five pieces – one Outfit, one Back Bling, one Pickaxe, one Wrap, and one Glider. Wanted a complete look, not just half of it. Clicked on the Balenciaga branded hoodie skin first. You know, the one with the crazy oversized look.
The Mix & Match Chaos
Okay, pairing time. Felt kinda weird at first, like playing dress-up with pixels.
- The Back Bling: Immediately grabbed the giant Defender Bag. It looks like a shopping bag you’d drag home after maxing out your credit card. Slapped it on the back. Huge? Yeah. Obnoxious? Maybe. Totally Balenciaga? Absolutely. Worked surprisingly well with the hoodie’s vibe.
- Swung the Pickaxe: Tried the Speed Trainer ones next. They’re basically just giant shoes you whack people with. Looked… absurd. But absurd in that specific Balenciaga way. Swung it a few times in the preview. Satisfying thud sound.
- Wrap Woes: This got tricky. Went through the Balenciaga wraps. Liked the grid one a lot – clean, black and white. Applied it to my go-to Assault Rifle. Transformed a battle-scarred gun into something you’d see in a fancy store window. Weirdly satisfying.
- Glider Grand Entrance: Saved the glider for last. Only one real choice: the Paris Cargo Glider. Deployed it in the preview. Dude just descends slowly holding a massive cardboard box. Zero aerodynamics, maximum meme potential. Fits the theme perfectly though. Looks like they’re delivering some couture straight to the battlefield.
Putting it to the Test (Sort Of)
Obviously, I had to see this monstrosity in action. Hopped into a Solo match. Dropped somewhere quiet to get a proper look at my guy under different light. The bag clips through the hoodie slightly while running – classic Fortnite. The shoes look ridiculous swinging around. But honestly? The whole combo grew on me.
Didn’t win that match (busy admiring myself, probably), but felt pretty damn stylish getting eliminated. The Wrap on the gun actually looked slick in first-person view.
My Top 5 Personal Balenciaga Picks (What Actually Worked)
After messing around, swapping parts, and trying to find combos that didn’t just look like a walking billboard, here’s what I landed on:
- Outfit: Hoodie. The white one, honestly clashes less with the wild accessories.
- Back Bling: Defender Bag. Non-negotiable. It’s the signature piece.
- Pickaxe: Speed Trainers. Yeah, it’s shoes. But whacking someone with a giant sneaker never gets old.
- Wrap: The Grid Print one. Cleaner than the colorful options, let the Outfit pop more.
- Glider: Paris Cargo. It’s just too perfectly weird to leave out.
Overall? Is it “good”? By normal standards, probably not. It’s bulky, weird, and screams “look at me!” But if you bought the Balenciaga stuff, that’s kinda the whole point, isn’t it? This combo leans into the absurdity hard and, after playing around with it, I gotta admit, I kinda love it for what it is. Feels like peak Fortnite x fashion collab chaos.
