As for the design of the Outfit, Lazar decided to pay tribute to his roots in civil construction. “Honestly, I thought it would be really funny to put an Australian tradition on Fortnite,” he explained, before showing an emote with the same theme, which involves him sitting down to enjoy a nice meat pie.
Expect lots of related content and giveaways from LazarBeam in the coming days. Congratulations Lazar!

LazarBeam has its supporters waiting in anticipation with the idea of a potential shedding of the Icon Series.
The OCE region may not receive much respect from the competitive community, but when it comes to content, they are unstoppable! The popular YouTuber Lannan “LazarBeam” Eacott is set to become the third Australian player to have his own outfit in Fortnite.
If the rumors are true, he will join Lachlan and Loserfruit as the newest member of the Fortnite Icon Series. Other icons include superstar musicians Travis Scott and Marshmello, the legend of Fortnite Ninja and, most recently, TheGrefg, who made streaming history with his record-breaking skin revealed in January.
It was LazarBeam himself who sparked the excitement, having scheduled a video entitled “MY FORTNITE SKIN REVEAL” to premiere today, March 1st, at 5 PM EST. However, some fans are more than a little suspicious.
Pinning a comment to the post mentioned above, he simply said “don’t clickbait”. Of course, it made people worried that they were being cheated, with anyone watching Lazar knowing that a joke like that would certainly be branded.
Fortnite Punch @iFireMonkey decided to investigate. He tested the video and found that it was only 2 minutes and 25 seconds long, stating “Due to the length of the video being very short, I would say that 99% is confirmed as his Icon Series skin”.
Could your revelation still be a troll? Yes, you can, all I can see is the length of the video.
It is becoming more of a trend, however, to post on the skin of the icon series before being in the archives so they don’t leak like Lachlan and Loserfruit did.

Although nothing is yet guaranteed, it seems likely that the LazarBeam ad will be legitimate. Fortunately, it won’t be long before we’re sure.
