Summary
SomeFortniteplayers have pointed out a frustrating issue with certain collaboration skins being exclusive to their season.Fortnitehas released battle passes full of cosmetic items since the battle royale was released, but these players are hoping for one key change.
Since the beginning,Fortnitehas offered a variety of cosmetic itemsfor players to equip to express themselves. As new seasons have been released, the list of items has expanded exponentially. There are over 1,000 skins that players can equip, and even more emotes, sprays, and weapon wraps. Players can acquire these items with V-bucks in the Item Shop or progress through a Battle Pass to unlock gear exclusive to that season. Highlighting that these items are limited to a specific time frame, some players are worried that they may never acquire some collab skins.
One Reddit user is among someFortniteplayers expressing grievances that specific skins are unavailable. Their post includes characters like Carnage, Darth Vader, Predator, and Wolverine. Although collaborative skinslike DC Comics' Batman, Kylo Ren fromStar Wars, and the Transformer Megatron can be purchased separately, others from their franchise are less accessible. Because of this, players who didn’t participate in past battle passes are left without iconic characters. While this makes progressing through a Battle Pass more rewarding for players that were around, future and lapsed ones are left without the items, but willing to pay for them.
Given thatFortniteChapter 2 Season 4 was dedicated to Marvel heroes, the Reddit user’s post includes several comic book characters. Beyond those mentioned, it also features Deadpool, Dr. Strange, Prowler, Spider-Man, Spider-Gwen, Aquaman, Raven, and Superman from Marvel and DC,Rick and Morty’s Rick Sanchez, Superplastic mascot Guggimon,Geralt of Rivia fromThe Witcher, Doom Slayer fromDoom,Transformers' Optimus Prime,Attack on Titan’s Eren Jaeger, and the Mandalorian from theStar Warsuniverse. These could all be acquired from different seasonal battle passes, meaning gamers would have to play nearly every season to acquire them.
Given thatFortniteSeason OG broke player records, it’s likely that a large portion of the community is missing these collab skins. Though it’s unlikely that they’ll be added to the shop individually,Fortnitebundles or future battle passes may be used to bring them back in a new way. Despite the demand, it’s currently unclear if Epic Games ever intends to revisit prior Battle Pass skins.
