A new Bob Ross emote has been added to Fortnite, and it’s everything that fans of the iconic painter could possibly want.

It seems like nothing is off the table these days when it comes to Fortnite crossovers. Some of the world’s biggest franchises have appeared in Epic’s long-running battle royale, including DC and Marvel, which use the game to promote upcoming movies.

But it’s not just movie characters that get represented, sometimes internet memes make their way to the store, from the Louis Theroux dance to Skibidi Toilet. Now, even a Bob Ross emote has been added.

Fortnite adds Bob Ross emote

On July 24, the Gentle Painting Emote arrived on the Fortnite store, which sees your character paint a beautiful portrait while mellow music plays in the background. Ross himself can even be heard at the end delivering one of his signature lines.

In fact, there are four possible audio clips you could hear each time you use it:

  • “Call it finished.”
  • Certainly glad you could join us today.”
  • “We don’t make mistakes, you know, we have happy accidents.”
  • “We got a happy little tree, it lives right there.”

The best part is that it works with any skin currently available, so even the likes of Kratos, Doom Slayer, and Master Chief can take a break to embrace their artistic side.

If you want to get hold of the emote, and let’s face it, why wouldn’t you, all you have to do is head to the Fortnite store and pay 500 V-Bucks. These can either be earned for free by leveling up the Battle Pass, or purchased from the shop.

You’ll have to act fast, though, as the Gentle Painting emote is only live until July 28, at which point it will be removed until Epic decides to bring it back sometime in the future.
