Estimated windows, most to least likely.
Reaper typically returns about every 86 days, and it has been gone 72; 9 of its 22 Item Shop returns came during Fortnitemares across 7 years, so we center the prediction on the next Fortnitemares window (Oct 28 – Nov 4) instead of spreading it across the year; its seasonal timing repeats year after year, which raises our confidence in the window.
Everything measured from real Item Shop appearances.
22 recorded appearances, newest first.
+12 earlier appearances
