Fortnite is the only video game where you can play as Ariana Grande and land a headshot on Naruto. While it started as a very different kind of game, it’s known nowadays as a popular battle royale shooter and multimedia melting pot. You can play as characters from franchises spanning gaming, movies, and anime. Even celebrities throw themselves into the mix from time to time.

In addition to its knack for collaborating with other brands, developer and publisher Epic Games is known for its experimentation with Fortnite (it put a free Alan Wake side story right into the game). Whether you’re an avid fan who’s deep into the latest season, or a new player, we’ve found 30 gifts you can buy for your favorite Fortnite fan.
