Recently, we got reports that Epic Games has added Stonk Meme guy to Fortnite’s item shop. The all-new skin is named Diamond Hanz. The new skin is a direct reference to the frenzy around Reddit that ensued in January.

It almost felt like an April Fools prank when Fortnite’s Twitter account was first tweeted about the new skin. But there’s a quick visit to the item shop that reveals what’s here for keeps. The skin is also a major part of the “To The Moon” set and is now available for 1,200 Vbucks.

The Stonk meme has always been around for a quite while but it completely gained increased traction in the month of January. When a group of Redditors under the subreddit invested in GameStop stock collectively. Now the plan was in the works since October of last year in January, GameStop’s stock that went “to the moon” will be increasing by almost 2,000 percent.

Now, if you are one of those people who is interested in the skin, then it’s better you don’t delay much as the item shop is soon going to be refreshed at 8 Pm ET/ 5 Pm PT and the skin is not going to be back anytime soon.

Furthermore, they have also added many crossovers with numerous big titles and media brands including John Wick, Stranger Things, Marvel, and DC.
