Fortnite has lengthy been that uncommon recreation the place the microtransactions are literally a part of the enchantment, and so followers have been fairly baffled recently by the messy state of the sport’s Merchandise Store. The choice of skins, emotes and different cosmetics has been fairly poor lately, and likewise the store appears fairly buggy. Mixed with the terrible new locker UI launched in Chapter 5, Fortnite’s beauty recreation is basically struggling in some stunning methods.
The Store has notably been a little bit of a nightmare this week. On Monday, the Cranium Trooper pores and skin was added to the store in two separate tabs, and a probably associated situation pressured Epic to take down the complete retailer apart from the packs you purchase with actual foreign money by way of the platform you are enjoying on. On Tuesday morning after this week’s patch, a bunch of the content material creator Icon skins have been speculated to be that can be purchased, however that part of the store was hidden as a result of their introduced Lego types weren’t seen. Tuesday evening then introduced us the most recent instance of a Competition monitor hitting the store a day or extra earlier than it was speculated to–something that has occurred repeatedly since Fortnite Competition launched in December. Epic handled this by rearranging that part of the store and eradicating a bunch of jam tracks–and then additionally by by chance (and admittedly humorously) plugging within the Valentines-themed Heartbreaker pores and skin the place the music Heartbreaker by Pat Benatar was speculated to go.
Epic additionally did not launch any new Winterfest-themed cosmetics within the merchandise store till after Winterfest ended, and this week’s patch added a Winterfest Want emote and a 2023-specific New Yr’s emote to the sport information for unknown reasons–even in the event that they’d by some means been forgotten in the course of the earlier updates, why add them again in now?
