Summary
Fortniteonce again reinvents itself with a new season.Fortnite’s Chapter 4, Season 4 brings the heist theme into the game, and despite the numerous new features, Battle Pass skins, and new POIs, people have been dabbling in the infinite possibilities of collabs thatFortnitecould feature when it comes tolinking with the heist theme. Much likeFortnitedid way back in Chapter 2, Season 5 with the Bounty Hunter season.

Fortnitehas given players some incredible collabs. From Marvel, Star Wars, and even pop singers. However, there is more freedom with the heist theme than some players might expect. There have been many great heist movies, shows, and games in which characters from said franchises and IPs couldfeature on theFortniteisland.
8The Joker – The Dark Knight
The opening scene ofThe Dark Knightis iconic. A group of clowns rob a Gotham bank, taking each other out one by one as part of the plan. However, during this scene, all of them debate about who this “Joker guy” is, until it’s too late, and the Joker reveals himself as one of the robbers. From the first shot ofThe Dark Knightto its last, the Joker is an icon.
Considering this heist scene helps propel the Clown Prince of Crime’s schemes, it would be great ifFortniteadded the character fromThe Dark Knight. The game already has its rendition of the Joker, but to see Heath Ledger’s incarnation, or a clown robber in his attire, would be fun.
7Cassian Andor – Star Wars: Andor
Cassian Andor has been involved ina few heisting anticsin theStar Warsgalaxy. Despite fans first meeting Cassian inRogue One, as he pulls off one of the most important heists inStar Warshistory by stealing the Death Star plans, he has also featured in another heist as recent as the prequel Disney Plus series,Star Wars: Andor.
Cassian would make a great addition to theFortniteroster. Not only was season 1 ofAndora critical success among fans and critics, but the character has quickly become a fan favorite. Cassian could easily join the ranks of other Star Wars characters inFortnite, much like the recent addition of Ahsoka Tano.
6The Payday Gang – Payday 3
The Payday Gang has been with gamers for over a decade, and the iconic clown crew shows no signs of stopping down. The Payday Gang returned to rob the banks of New York City in the soon-to-releasePayday 3, with the tightest crew everset to cause mayhemamong law enforcement wherever they decide to go.Payday 3’s core crew is the classic quad of characters: Chains, Dallas, Hoxton, and Wolf.

Considering the official Payday Twitter/X account has already commented onFortnite’s new season, it seems inevitable, and obvious, that one of the best heist games would collab with one of the best Battle Royale games currently in its heist theme. The four characters are iconic, and could easily feature as their styles.
5Johnny Silverhand And V – Cyberpunk 2077
With the release ofCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyquickly approaching,Fortnitehas the perfect opportunity for a collab between the two. To feature Johnny Silverhand and V during the heist season makes the most sense, considering the cyberpunk Mega City is still inFortnite, and the game is currently in its heist theme, which lines up nicely with how V’s life turned upside down.
A heist is what made Johnny and V find each other, as V found the Relic holding Johnny’s engram in a botched Arasaka heist. Even Johnny is familiar with heists and raids, considering his fatal nuke incident, and his rescue attempt of his girlfriend. CD Projekt RED and Epic Games have collaborated before withThe Witchercharacters inFortnite, so hopefullyCyberpunk 2077is next.
4Franklin, Michael, and Trevor – Grand Theft Auto 5
Another bout of heist characters, although a little more on the wild side, is the crew fromGrand Theft Auto 5’s story mode. Franklin, Michael, and Trevor are a set of oddballs and don’t exactly mix the best together, but they are good at what they do: which is committing far too many crimes to count, especially Trevor.

This trio could be a great addition toFortniteand would be the first time Rockstar Games have collaborated with the Battle Royale giant. Many of Rockstar’s best characters could feature in a potential collab, but theGrand Theft Auto 5heist crewmakes the most sense.
3The Doctor – Doctor Who
A character with seemingly immortality and infinite possibilities in both design and adventure, The Doctor from the iconic British television showDoctor Whowould make a fine addition toFortnite. Although rumors have been spiraling about aDoctor WhoxFortnitecollab for months now, nothing has materialized officially from Epic Games or the BBC. Yet, the two area match made in heaven.
The Doctor has been involved in many adventures, several of which have involved time-themed heists from all over the Earth in different centuries, eras, and even off-planet. There is a lot of potential forDoctor WhoinFortnite, including multiple different versions of the Doctor.
2The Dali Masks – Money Heist
One of the most popular heist series to hit the streaming market isMoney Heist, a brilliant crime series that has won multiple awards.Money Heistfollows a group of thieves who aren’t afraid to take hostages, with a criminal mastermind manipulating and controlling the situation to ensure the best for them and their crew, all with the iconic Dali Mask taking center stage.
It wouldn’t be the first time a Netflix series has collabed withFortnite, as Stranger Things was in the game for some time, yet the items and cosmetics haven’t returned in a while.Money Heistseems to be a great opportunity for Netflix torejoin theFortniteisland.
1Ex-Presidents – Point Break
Another classic crime movie,Point Breakfollows an FBI agent, Johnny Utah, as he attempts to infiltrate a group of surfers and friends that have ties to multiple bank robberies across the country. When robbing these banks, the suspects in question assume the identity of the Ex-Presidents, which involve the suits and rubber masks of Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, and Lyndon B. Johnson.
It’s rather unlikely to see the appearance of these characters fromPoint BreakinFortnitebecause they use real U.S. Presidents who may be seen as too political. However, thePoint Breakcharacters, and their heisting attire, would make for some fun games inFortnite.
Fortniteis available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
