Boardwalk Ruby

What is the lore behind Boardwalk Ruby in Fortnite?

Boardwalk Ruby has no lore in Fortnite. She was introduced to celebrate the Cosmic Summer event back in 2021. While this did coincide with the Kymera invading the island, they still managed to have a fun time until things went absolutely wrong when The Cube Queen arrived. Other than her featuring as a cosmetic item, she has no backstory.

While she is related to Midas and his crew in a way, she plays no major role in anything. Epic Games could change this in time to come, but for the time being, she is limited to being a skin in the Metaverse. On the flipside of things, Ruby, her original version is a secret agent and was featured in-game back during Chapter 3 Season 3. As such, Boardwalk Ruby could also be hiding a few secrets.
