One of the most exciting aspects of Fortnite’s High Stakes event, which will begin this week, is the all-new cosmetic set that comes with it.
First and foremost in that set is the Wild Card outfit which, as was initially predicted in a number of leaks, will be customizable.
With a total of four masks/headstyles available, players will be able to choose between a heart, a club, a diamond, or a spade (continuing the playing card theme). The Wild Card outfit will be purchasable in the item shop.
As for harvesting tools, the High Stakes pickaxe will be a crowbar that is unlocked after completing all three of the special High Stakes challenges.
There is an in-game spray and a new “Money” Trail, both of which can be earned by completing a specific High Stakes challenge. The Money Trail is yours for picking up a jewel in 5 different matches of the getaway LTM, and the spray can be earned by dealing 500 damage to jewel carrying opponents
Finally, there will be piece of back bling and a glider to complete the High Stakes set.

The back bling will be called Cuff Case and features a briefcase with handcuffs attached. The glider will be called Safe Crack and quite literally looks like the door to a giant safe… with wings attached:
The Cuff Case and Safe Crack are both expected to be available for purchase in the item shop, meaning that the harvesting tool, spray and Money Trail will be the only items that can be unlocked for free.
Rarities and prices of all items, as well as the official names for the pickaxe and in-game spray, will be added when the information becomes available.
The High Stakes challenges are expected to go live at the same time as the all-new Grappler item and Getaway LTM in the V5.40 patch (which is expected to be released on Thursday, September 6).
