There’s one skin in Fortnite that divides lobbies, starts Twitter debates, and dominates both fashion shows and sweaty arenas. Yup, we’re talking about the iconic Dynamo skin. With its lucha libre wrestling vibes, bold colors, and legendary reputation in the comp scene, Dynamo isn’t just a cosmetic—it’s a statement. Whether you’re rocking it for the flair, the sweat factor, or just because it looks insanely cool, there’s no denying Dynamo’s place in Fortnite history.
Where It All Started: The Original Dynamo Skin
First released back in Season 5 (July 20, 2018), the original Dynamo is a Rare-tier outfit and costs 1,200 V-Bucks when featured in the Item Shop. Inspired by Mexican wrestling culture, it’s part of the Lucha Set, which also includes heavy-hitters like:
- Libre Glider: Luchador wings that scream style
- Piledriver Pickaxe: A steel-chair style harvesting tool (WWE vibes anyone?)
- Masked Fury: The underrated male counterpart
With her face-covering mask, electric color palette, and high-octane design, Dynamo quickly became BFFs with sweaty players and competitive grinders. Whether you’re pushing endgame in FNCS or 1v1ing in Creative, this skin brings the heat.
Dynamo Variants You Gotta Know
1. Dynamo TNTina – Boom with Style
Dropped as part of the Chapter 2 Remix Battle Pass, Dynamo TNTina takes two Fortnite icons and fuses them into one explosive skin suite. She brings:
- Two styles: Standard and cartoonish “Dynamo TNToon-a”
- Back bling: Explosive bombs with animated sparks
- Matching glider: “Boom Ballasts” dripping in style
- Themed pickaxe & wrap: Full-on kaboom energy
If you’re into dynamic animations and retro Toontown vibes, Dynamo TNTina is pure gold.
2. Dynamo Dribbler – Sports Meets Swag
Dropped on May 19, 2021, this NBA crossover skin hit hard in the “In The Paint” set. It unlocks jersey customizations for all 30 NBA teams, blending the Dynamo brand with full-court drip.
As an Epic-tier outfit, Dynamo Dribbler gave players a path to repping their favorite team while staying true to the bold Dynamo DNA.

3. Dynamo Dancer – Be Your Own Hero
This Legendary-tier skin (1,800 V-Bucks) from the Boundless Set lets you fully customize your superhero look:
- Design patterns, materials, and colors
- Apply accessories like masks and visors
- Bust out the “Hero’s Beacon” built-in emote
So customizable, it’s actually restricted in some competitive matches for visibility reasons. That’s power.
4. Derby Dynamo – Roller Rebels Unite
This one’s kind of a wild card. Derby Dynamo hit Fortnite on August 20, 2020 as a bundle-based option (not directly tied to the OG skin). It brings a whole roller derby aesthetic, complete with:
- Three styles showcasing different derby energy
- Back bling that fits the theme
It’s more “spin-off” than variant, but still expands that sweet Dynamo universe. Learn more on Fortnite Wiki.

Bold Looks That Punch Through Lobbies

Cross-Genre Versatility
Wrestling? Check. Superheroes? Yup. Basketball, Toon style explosions, roller rink rebels? All here. Dynamo has proven it can flex across any theme and still dominate.
Item Shop Regular
