The outfit has a red balloon head and a blue and orange-tinted bodysuit. Airhead was leaked a year back, but the official release came in only yesterday. It makes its entry into the list of one of the oldest leaked outfits in the game. Initially, the skin had an epic rarity, but it currently falls under rare.

Players did get into a web of confusion regarding the skin. Rare skins were not supposed to cost as much as the epic ones, and the glitch, although not known to everyone, was instantly noticed by gamers and streamers.
We're aware that the Airhead Outfit is available for 1,500 V-Bucks instead of the intended 1,200. The Outfit will be available for 1,200 V-Bucks soon.
Players who've bought or will buy it for 1,500 V-Bucks will have 300 V-Bucks refunded. We'll update when this is complete.

The Plastic Patroller skin is also back in the shop. The skin was famous for its camouflage feature, but updates brought in some tan shades, which reduced the efficiency. You can get the skin with three different styles for only 800 V-Bucks.
Also making a return is the Mecha Team Leader skin that will be available for purchase for 1,600 V-Bucks. Combo Cleavers is featured in the item shop and will be available for the same price as usual.
