Fortnite - Hexed & Haunted Pack (DLC)

I'll be straight with you: this is a cosmetic DLC for a free-to-play game, and that context shapes every honest thing I can say about it. The Hexed and Haunted Pack drops three items into your locker across all Fortnite modes: the Greta Grim Outfit, the Ivor Back Bling, and the Demon Slashers Pickaxe. The Greta Grim skin also carries a LEGO Style variant, so if you spend time in LEGO Fortnite building and surviving, you get a second visual form out of a single outfit slot. That dual-mode utility is the most concrete practical argument in the pack's favor. Beyond the cosmetics, the pack serves as an access key to Save the World, Fortnite's co-op PvE campaign. If you've never played it, Save the World is a husk-hunting, fort-building survival mode that plays very differently from Battle Royale. You build structures, craft traps, and defend objectives against waves of enemies alongside up to three friends. It's older and rougher around the edges than the main game, but it has a distinct loop that some players find genuinely engaging. The catch: to unlock the Greta Grim Challenges and start earning the included V-Bucks, you first need to complete the Homebase Stormshield Defense 3 mission. There's a grind gate before the currency reward becomes accessible, which is worth knowing upfront. The V-Bucks angle deserves a clear-eyed read. You earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks by completing Save the World daily quests tied to the Greta Grim Challenges. Those V-Bucks are spendable across Battle Royale, LEGO Fortnite, Festival, and Rocket Racing, so they're not locked to a single mode. Whether that offsets the cost of the pack depends entirely on how much you value that currency and how committed you are to actually doing the daily quests. Players who were going to spend time in Save the World anyway will get the most out of this deal. Players who only care about the skin and have no intention of touching PvE are paying for features they won't use. The cosmetic set itself has a coherent theme: underworld caretaker aesthetic, spectral eye motif, matched pieces that read as a deliberate set rather than a random bundle. Greta Grim as a character design has a clear identity. The Demon Slashers Pickaxe fits the set visually without feeling redundant. Whether the art direction connects with you is obviously subjective, but the design work is consistent. There is no spray, no emote, no wrap included, so the three items are genuinely all you get on the cosmetic side outside of the LEGO variant. Bottom line for Xbox players: if you actively play Save the World or plan to start, the V-Bucks pipeline and PvE access make the math look reasonable. If you're purely a Battle Royale player chasing a skin, measure the outfit against what you'd pay for a standalone skin in the Item Shop before committing. Alex, Scout Team
