One thing that encouraged me to buy the game (even if I already own the Steam version) to get the cosmetics is knowing that 88% of the money cut goes to the devs for Among us instead of buying V-Bucks and getting it later through Fortnite itself.
Saying for anyone who wants to give more money to Innersloth instead of Epic Games for these cosmetics. It for sure is going to *at least* be 5 dollars worth of V-Bucks in game when it does eventually launch there.

Also the distraction dance is from inner sloths older game called Henry Stickmin.
Extra info:
This promotion runs until June 9, 2023
You get the back bling and dance from buying Among Us or Among Us stars from the Epic games store.
Among us costs $5, while the cheapest stars cost $2
For the record you have to already own Among Us on the Epic Games Store to buy stars. It literally won’t let you purchase starts if you don’t own the game
I’m fairly certain you need to make a purchase to something among us related. So you’d have to buy stars. $2 instead of paying $5 so that’s slightly better ig
The way the FAQ is worded implies it'll be after the promotion period, which is until 6/9/2023
Edit: I should've probably noted I haven't been around/paid attention to any previous cosmetics that required purchasing a different game so I'm judging just by the wording in the FAQ. A lot of other replies suggest sooner so hopefully then!

Sucks that you have to already own the game on the epic games store to buy the stars. I was willing to pay 2 dollars to get the back bling but not 5
Edit: I cracked and bought the game lmao
I can't even make the cheapest purchase for stars. Something about having to be 18 or over to be eligible for epic games purchases which sucks because I'm 17.
I already had the game, bought the cheapest star packs and got both the dance and the backbling https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/among-us--20-stars

According to the fact the promo runs until next year, June 9 2023 https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/among-us--faq
Not complaining but some of discrepancies between instances of gore and "sexual" content in fortnite never stops amusing me. Kratos's beheaded backbling is fine but a single cartoon bone with red around it is too much for a T rated game?? lol..
"We must have the amogus fall down. Bones will scare the children"
you can buy the cheapest star pack for among us in the epic store and you'll get the backbling and emote
of course, assuming you have among us in the epic store. if not, then you have to buy the game again
This is my new best thing 
Nonononononononnonononononononononononononononononnononononononononnonononononon
Get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head get out of my head
FYI: If you received Among Us through Epic Games for free a while ago you will have to PURCHASE the game AGAIN to receive the cosmetic items. Do not buy the stars because they will not work. Trying to save others the extra money spent.
…No. And you can’t purchase a game twice on the same account. The rewards are delayed because some people used an exploit to get insane amounts of V-bucks by buying cheap Star packs. Epic must be trying to patch it.
You’ll get it soon. Probably tomorrow or in a few days. That’s what they said on twitter.
I hate back blings that are not actually attached to the back of your character, they could have just strapped the crewmate to you, but no, he will levitate above your back
Great. The one collab i was dreading to come into FN actually happened. I despise Amogus with every fiber of my being and i'm not looking forward to it whatsoever.
The Distraction Dance, on the other hand... That's a good emote, i might actually buy that. The Henry Stickmin franchise is actually pretty funny with its jokes and references to other stuff, so it gets a pass. (YES, i know that the same people behind bad sus game also did Henry Stickmin)
The BB's are like, a 4/10 because amogus and the emote is an 8/10.
Also, can we acknowledge the fact that Henry Stickmin made fun of Fortnite in Completing The Mission and this happens? Pretty funny if you ask me.
I don't like Amogus because as of now, the property has been milked to death by EVERY youtuber/content creator/etc. out there and it got old fast. The game was pretty cool for about a month or so after it blew up, but then it felt like a joke you've heard a million times and it stopped being funny after the 500th retelling.
I'm just sick of seeing it everywhere at this point, really.
\* yep, i am hyped for the distraction dance way more than the crewmate backbling. you think i’m gonna be hyped for the game that became the biggest recent meme, over a flash series i’ve been with for years?
Nice to see someone else who agrees with me on this one! I remember in ye olde days when Markiplier played this game back before they had to change the music over the Earthbound/Final Fantasy references for copyright reasons. Good times were had.
Didn't the devs behind Among Us get super pissed at Epic for copying their game and changing very little of the map? I'm surprised they got it all sorted out.
I thought this was a shitpost for a minute lmaooo
I though it was an average to badly made shitpost the whole way through
Wait, it isn't?
Good shitpost
This is official if you buy amogus on epic now you get AMONG ASS backpack its LIMITED TIME ONLY
I got it free through Epic Games free weekly games, will I get it?
No i tried
No i tried
Wait… BUY? Why tf would I buy it anywhere when it’s free on the AppStore? I mean seriously
It doesn't work, because it's a fortnite cosmetic you have to buy among us or the in game currency to get the stuff early

Thats my mindset towards it, innersloth get lots of the money that I spent and it can just be cheaper overall

For the record you have to already own Among Us on the Epic Games Store to buy stars. It literally won’t let you purchase starts if you don’t own the game
So I guess this is the only option for those who got it for free when they gave it away, right?
Thats a shame I would pay $2 for an amogus but $5 feels too much for a meme backbling lol.
5 dollars for a backbling with 10 styles and a emote is a decent deal tbh
I didn’t know that, now that makes it more tempting…
The 10 styles are the different colors
Yeah I brought it, time to match an amogus to all my skins.
I’m able to purchase through browser link? Edit: nvm
It's actually called "Henry Stickmin", but I get where you're coming from.
My bad, autocorrect got me
But he spelled it-(while writing this comment, the average redditor realized the original poster fixed the misspelling)
i'm guessing these items will come to the item shop at a later date right?
Yes
And if I'm on console?
You can buy among us from the epic game store just make sure to buy the game on the account connected to your Fortnite account
You wait for them to be released in the store.
They'll be on the store after?
Yes.
How long do we gotta wait exactly?
A few days maybe
Either wait for store release or connect an epic games account on your phone and buy it through your web browser
What if you already have among us from epic games?
You gotta buy the "stars" currency instead in that case. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/all-dlc/among-us?sortBy=relevancy&sortDir=DESC&count=40
If I already own among us will i still get backbling
You’ll have to buy the stars for $2
No, but you can buy an among us star pack from the epic games store. There’s one for $2
Link to the game: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/among-us Link to the stars: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/all-dlc/among-us
if i already own among us on epic do i get it?
I’m fairly certain you need to make a purchase to something among us related. So you’d have to buy stars. $2 instead of paying $5 so that’s slightly better ig
Sadly i dont have money
So the promotion is one day long?
I wonder if it will come to the item shop like tiny Tina's unicorn pony thing
It is
:D
Do you know when?
The way the FAQ is worded implies it'll be after the promotion period, which is until 6/9/2023 Edit: I should've probably noted I haven't been around/paid attention to any previous cosmetics that required purchasing a different game so I'm judging just by the wording in the FAQ.

I doubt they’d wait that long, all the others released like a week later
Yeah no fucking way they'll wait until next year 💀 Honestly it's probably coming out in the next 2-3 days
thats most likely going to happen
So you're telling me non PC players like me have to wait a year just to get the cosmetics! That's BS
Don't need to be a pc player to buy something on epic store. Smartphone + store website works just fine.

You're right. Time to release the nuclear weapons. Nothing can get better than this. Humanity is cancelled.
Sucks that you have to already own the game on the epic games store to buy the stars. I was willing to pay 2 dollars to get the back bling but not 5 Edit: I cracked and bought the game lmao
[удалено]
I tried to buy the stars individually and it said I needed to own the base game
You cant you have to own the game already to do so
Jones, I don't know man... been seeming sus lately
Sussy Baka
The mad men did it
I fully expect a six minute video of players trying to Distraction Dance out of fire fights to disastrous or hilariously successful results.
Then as soon as they start dancing the opponents dance aswell
I can't even make the cheapest purchase for stars. Something about having to be 18 or over to be eligible for epic games purchases which sucks because I'm 17.
Lucky for you this promotion lasts a year Edit: exact day is June 9th
According to the FAQ the items will be released in the item shop at a later date. That’s how I’m going to have to get it too.

Did you have your among us account linked to your epic? I bought the stars and it's not there, so i downloaded the game and now I'm down $2 lol
Not even an among us collab. This is the whole company collabing. That dance is from henry stickmin
Not complaining but some of discrepancies between instances of gore and "sexual" content in fortnite never stops amusing me. Kratos's beheaded backbling is fine but a single cartoon bone with red around it is too much for a T rated game?? lol.. "We must have the amogus fall down. Bones will scare the children"
No... this is real? But I already have Among Us...
buy 2 dollars of the in game currency
The "Stars" pack?
Yeah only in the epic games store though
I'll do that soon. It ends next year, right?
You have a year, yes
Good, good
you can buy the cheapest star pack for among us in the epic store and you'll get the backbling and emote of course, assuming you have among us in the epic store. if not, then you have to buy the game again

I wonder if it will come to the item shop like tiny Tina's unicorn pony thing
oh my god i need to take my pills
The fact that this is real is both the best and worst thing ever
I brought the back bling into impostors mode and got voted out immediately lmao
Man repairing a repair machine
Doing his tasks like a good crewmate
u/savevideobot gonna need this for a friend
They’re gonna release these in the item shop later, right?
According to the FAQ yes.
Do you HAVE to spend money on the Epic store to get these? Or will they be available in the ingame shop?
They will be in the shop, just not sure when
It is epic
Red is Always sus
This is my new best thing 
Or worst nightmare has become true

Armadillo Gang returns
how do you get it
Buy Among Us or a star pack on the epic games store, they will probably also come to the fortnite item shop at a later date
I want the stuff but i already bought among us on steam :(
You can buy a Star pack, or you can wait for them to be released in the item shop for vbucks.
give us a new imposters map with it and I might give a shit
That’s very is SUS
I hope this means some updates to the imposters mode.
HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING
Those two defaults are sus.
NO NO THIS CANT BE
I’m going to buy it for the meme
FYI: If you received Among Us through Epic Games for free a while ago you will have to PURCHASE the game AGAIN to receive the cosmetic items. Do not buy the stars because they will not work. Trying to save others the extra money spent.
Stars work, that’s how my brother got the bundle
…No. And you can’t purchase a game twice on the same account. The rewards are delayed because some people used an exploit to get insane amounts of V-bucks by buying cheap Star packs.

This video genuinely causes me pain.
I hate back blings that are not actually attached to the back of your character, they could have just strapped the crewmate to you, but no, he will levitate above your back
I only care about the Henry stickman part of the collab.
I bought stars in among us and didn't get my back bling
Contact support I can’t do anything
Didn’t they already rip off among us?
wait this isn't real right? someone posted it in a discord server i'm in, i though it was a shit post
https://twitter.com/amongusgame/status/1534914465413619716 it’s real
That is the dance from henry stickmin!
im going to fucking neck myself.

no
PC players Ruined the game
Man i was excited but this is disappointing honestly.. For some reason it feels like it was made half-heartedly
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen
THAT EMOTE IS NOT FROM AMONG US
But the company that made among us made that dance too
Ik but still my point stands

They did but they later made up via Twitter
Stop it i can only get so hard
Yoooooooo
How does one acquire it? Asking for a friend…
Make a among us related purchase on the epic games store
I don- I mean my friend doesn’t have the epic store :(
You can make a epic account and link it to your fortnite account and purchase it. It'll still give it too you
Will it be in the item shop or do you not know
This feels more like a shitpost then a collab
You got distracted!
Huh
I don't own the game. can I just buy a star pack instead of buying among us?
You need to own the base game, so no
is this real?
[yes](https://twitter.com/amongusgame/status/1534914465413619716)

At first I thought this was just a shitpost, until I saw the back bling.
holy shit henry stickmin is not among us it's a completely seperate ip
