It was previously one of the most-requested dances to be put in the battle royale, and now it’s finally here: the Fortnite Intensity emote is ready and available to buy. Taking its cues from the ever-popular “Techno Viking” meme, the epic emote isn’t staying around for long and will set you back a fair few V-Bucks. Let’s take a look at the Fortnite Intensity emote cost, plus what time it’s scheduled to leave the store.

More specifically, you’re looking at a 5:00 p.m. Pacific/8:00 p.m. Eastern end date on the Monday 1:00 a.m. BST on the Tuesday – because that’s when the Item Shop gets in a new batch of items.

First up, the origins of the emote (which will give you a hint as to why it’s so popular).

Epic being Epic, it was bound to mine this meme at some point. The Fortnite Intensity emote is almost move-for-move identical, even down to the little finger point at the beginning. Then the dance proceeds to go crazy, arms flailing about like Spider-Man on speed.
