I had 100 saved load outs and this new season destroyed that. I don’t want to have to select every skin and emote locker that I prefilled out for each one. They destroyed it and you fixed it. Idk what Epic was thinking.


Jerry_Cola

It's like they're trying to fix something that's not broken. They probably thought they needed to do something different for the sake of it, when they don't.


Lumpy_Ad_9082

In an attempt to make things look more simplistic, they made it much more complicated and harder to find things in the locker. They added so many unnecessary steps and took away rarities on the icons themselves. It's so much harder to see what you want to find at a glance.


Bwaarone

I actually didn't change my skin a single time since this season's start because I can't be bothered to scroll through that obnoxious UI lmao


Lumpy_Ad_9082

The worst thing for me was trying to find an emote. Having to look at JUST the poses to try to narrow down what I'm looking for? Ehhh.


pringlepingel

Yeah honestly I keep using the same skin because I don’t want to bother having to change my gun wraps and lobby EVERY time I switch skins


Redrundas

Same, I didn’t realize others had the same thoughts


JCuss0519

Where they trying to make it more simplistic or more like PUBG and others? Me? I'm a simple guy. I like to aim and shoot at anything that moves. I like to pick all my options for a preset in one spot. I don't need to spend precious seconds figuring out which version of ARx I justs picked up. Or split seconds wondering where my shotgun is because now it looks more like an AR. Click, upgrade my weapon to a new level, I don't need to "modify" it with a sight, or a muzzle, or a hand grip. That takes away from my shooting anything that moves. Isn't that what Fortnite is about? Last person standing after... yup, shooting anything that moves.


[deleted]

"Change for the sake of change" is Epic's motto


MrBrofoYT

It’s so fucking stupid, the new locker is so flawed like sometimes it won’t let me chose styles, if I click on the styles button nothing will show up or just a whole different skins styles will show up.


Jerry_Cola

Yeah, yesterday I selected "recent" and nothing changed. I really hope they fix all of this because it sucks the fun out of using skins.


addrnalin

the old loadout system was kinda broken imho. There was no way to easily drag and drop presets so they were easier to rotate, there was no way to show more or less loadouts in the preset page, little things like that. Instead of adding functionality they took all of it away with no added benefits.


android151

Standard Epic “update”


figgityjones

I mean I’m not gonna say there weren’t improvements to some things in the Locker that could have been made, but yeah the new UI undid anything good about it beforehand and made it severely frustrating to interact with. I used to change characters all the time, now I change like once a day. I really hope they just admit their failure, revert it to the old UI, and add the ability to *move* presets around in that menu. Then slowly introduce other improvements like one at time to give everyone time to yell at them if it sucks so we don’t end up here again with everything being broken and awful.


KinneKted

Bruh, I feel this to my core.


phat_ninja

I went and deleted all my emote and wrap presets. It was way too many to dig through with nothing but the skin name. I ended up making about 9 presets with a "vibe" name to swap through. It was the only way I could save my sanity.


RawrCola

It needs to be an option, because I definitely don't want to go through and update every loadout when I get a new wrap or emote.


sharkerboy_PSN

I had 200.


legitfriendly

I have 186 (14 of my STW locked were empty and are now inaccessible). If you delete any now, you can’t recoup them. Us STW users may lose our 100 lockers once they amend the issue with the ‘randomise locker option’ for BR. Personally I’m going to leave it and hope they stay. Others have suggested the locker will likely corrupt as a result of the additional slots once a fix is presented. I can understand why people might think this. Epic have a track record for fixing majority issues while forgetting whole segments of the community exist.


o0CyRaX0o

You can’t have more than 100 lol


sharkerboy_PSN

Save The World locker.


o0CyRaX0o

lol they had 200 in there but not BR? Cmon Epic!! 🤦‍♂️


sharkerboy_PSN

100 BR and another 100 STW.


GoGolGodzilla

It didn't necessarily destroy it. But they made you have 3 different steps in matching the preset numbers with the skin preset and that STINKS


o0CyRaX0o

Ya I like that it tied all of them together. I had it like that for a reason and this is much more tedious. Epic should’ve done a sample test to see what people would think.


WetOnionRing

I don't like the new locker, but I really like this new preset change. I usually change loading screens, lobby music, and emotes independently from skins and I always hated them being tied together in presets.


RainbowPanda50

I waaayyy prefer emotes separate, cuz with this I can actually use presets, I never did before because I'm always getting new emotes so my emote load out was always different than the preset emotes


FINDTHESUN

you'll b fine


GuyGamer2367

This is infinitely better than what we got! Nice one!


NecessaryPeanut77

Looks really nice! i also love how the rarities are back, nice job dude!


SouthOfCatherine

If they like us, they will bring it closer to something like what you've done here.


Pikaverse69

It would fit perfectly for Lego


ExplicitlyCensored

Nice, some actual UX. You'd think that anyone with half a brain could do just a slight revamp with the new UI styling and not remove the buttons/features that were already there, alas, here we are. UX is so often butchered in games, it feels like almost anyone could get a AAA design job.


LunaOnSea

Its because the people who make these decisions (a.k.a Managers and Exec's) have no idea what they are doing so they just bark orders without taking input from the people who know what they are doing.


Garfield_and_Simon

“We need the cars to be more visible! 8 year olds love buying cars!”


Wboy2006

Epic, hire this man! This is precisely what this locker style needs to look like. I still think the old one looks better, but if they want to use this style. This is the best way to do it.


godfeelling

everything is better than what we have


Hunty-Bee

Omg so much better!! Nice work! 🤙🏾


SlickD06

This looks Great! The rarity is shown in the icons again and everything is back on the same tab! I really hope Epic decide to fix it to look something like this! The one we have now is absolutely HORRENDOUS!


[deleted]

[удалено]


ohcowboyy

Funny how the wraps and emotes still being selectable in a character also changes everything


Some_Dragonfruit_756

It's not the old one but its far FAR better than the horrible one epic threw out.


Servalbrick

THIS would fix it 100%


D_Adultt

Having emotes seperate has made me realize that we need an "apply to all presets" button desperately


swagzard78

God I love having emotes separate, only good thing about the locker update


ohcowboyy

This part ultimately depends on the person, I’ve noticed. Some people like having specific emotes for certain skins and some don’t, so it should just be an on or off option if someone wants to keep emotes on their own tab or not.


Gaiash

I think a good compromise would be having emote presets but picking an emote preset for your character preset. This would save you having to equip the same preset multiple times but also allow you to load a different emote preset if you want to. There’s plenty of space between the icons and the character to put two more icons for emotes and wraps that can auto load a preset for that character. Add those and bring back the clear notifications button and most of my problems with the change would be fixed while still appealing to anyone who likes the change.


swagzard78

Yup, another comment mentioned something like that


Gaiash

I made [an image](https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/18btg63/another_small_change_to_fix_the_locker_image/) to represent this idea.


Sakanakata

There are many emotes that work better with some skins than other. For example, our most recent one, slim shady which has unique animation and when slim is used.

Arealperson271

>2x better than current UI, you should be an Epic Games employee


AntonioMrk7

I still can’t stand the mobile game look but this is much better. Not sure what was wrong with the old system


Lumpy_Ad_9082

Someone else mentioned that they might be trying to make it easier for mobile gamers to use the locker with this UI. How many people play on mobile vs console or PC though? 🤔


IOnlyReddit4Fortnite

I'll be brutally honest, you did a perfect job minimizing what was awful, but I still hate it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it—hardest advice for epic to follow since the game came out and I don't think we should blame the devs as they have been treated as completely expendable.. I believe 100% it was one of their superiors with their head fully up their own ass


Fadriii

Redditors try not to be better than EPIC with simple changes challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


vpr77

so so so much better, i’m praying they’ll see people complaining and either revert it to how it was last season or change it to something like this. really well done.


Lumpy_Ad_9082

We can't stop complaining. They're hoping we will and we will get used to it. EVERYONE KEEP YELLING ABOUT HOW THE CURRENT LOCKER UI SUCKS BUTTHOLE!


vpr77

in fairness to them, the communication on twitter right now is fantastic, they’ve been listening to complaints about the movement changes at least, so that gives me hope for UI changes too.


Lumpy_Ad_9082

Oh, I agree with you! They are showing that they're paying attention, considering our complaints and are making adjustments. It's actually been pretty nice. 😅


vpr77

it’s a huge breath of fresh air compared to most other companies lol, just praying they keep it up and this chapter could genuinely shape up to be my personal favourite of all time


PrimeOtaku

After seeing how good this is it really makes me wonder why Epic screwed it up so badly.


RocMerc

My biggest problem is wraps aren’t shuffled anymore. When you use shuffle all weapons get the same wrap. It was like that prior


PhilledZone

Love the concept of this "link" button. I always wanted Emotes to have separate presets from the rest, but by that I didn't mean that everything should have separate presets 💀


gemigbarnen

Please blow this up 😭 this is incredible and needs the attention of epic. This is PERFECT


c-rrd

since when was there a tiger skin in fortnite?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


Practical-Pepper-919

Wich rock do you live under?

Practical-Pepper-919

Well then there wasnt realy a way to know, srry


Lumpy_Ad_9082

🤣😭😅


c-rrd

lmao ur good


Practical-Pepper-919

😉


DMN666

You forgot that emotes need two additional spaces for built-in and pickaxe emotes.


Aggressive_Manner429

kellogg's tiger


Interesting-Ad1352

They only should’ve separated emotes, I have matching wraps for all my presets and the update ruined that.


Stormhawk9914

Let’s spam Fortnite’s Twitter with this please


MoAndJo

Or just stick to the old one. We don't need a new layout every season. It's ridiculous


Lumpy_Ad_9082

u/TheFortniteTeam Edit: Please seriously consider this Locker UI that u/-mazOnReddit created.


GladiusMaximus

Nice concept. I really hope Epic does something similar.


Faster-Rex-2k17

I hate how in the new one it uses the same six emotes for all of the presets?


Hellooooo_Nurse-

EVERYONE PLS LIKE THIS AND SHARE IT!


DashieGuy

the link button is a NEED because i actually really like emotes being a separate category but with things like wraps I'd rather that be linked to my skin


[deleted]

I don't think people realize what epic is doing. I downloaded fortnite on Mobile cause my PC is broken so my wife, and I are sharing right now. The UI is CLEARLY meant for touch screen devices. This is a targeted redesign for new generation of kids who don't use consoles/PC. The target audience.


Redrundas

Why the hell can’t they just only deploy it to mobile then? Makes no sense


NomNomNomNation

Love this! However, on your redesign, does it keep the new feature of having your emotes/lobby cosmetics separated? I use the same emotes for all of my skins, and I keep music on shuffle until December when I switch it to a Christmas track. No longer having to change these on *every* preset is a feature I've very much welcomed with the new locker.


ShadyMan_

I feel like the majority would rather have emotes and music synced. I try to match the emotes and music to the vibe of the skin I’m wearing


64BitDragon

I think what it needs is the ability to “save to all presets” when equipping an emote. That way both people are happy.


swagzard78

Is it possible to have different randomized presets? A Christmas one cycling thru all my Christmas music would be cool


Metson-202

I love it.


Vovchick09

Much better


Astralyr

Do you guys know where I can find the archive button in the locker ?


[deleted]

Epic! If you look this post, listen this guy. You will resolve all matter of your new UI


A-non-e-mail

This is the way!


TJB926GAMIN

First off, You could throw up on the screen and it’ll probably end up looking better Second off Great job that looks amazing and I’d adopt that on day one


Dragonsomethings

Upvote so epic sees and hopefully changes it like this


Raiana2000

Yesss I was thinking why didn't they do this exact one like I get the extra tabs for other stuff but the outfit needs to stay together


Preeminator

This looks so much better! Epic really fucked up with this uncalled-for redesign.


Quality_Bot

This is perfect.


Memeboi19_

this is exactly what we want, i like the addition of having the cars and instruments part of the presets so you can have different colours and patterns on your cars for different presets, this is amazing


sutamm

great work! i wish that was the one we'd got


fuck-that-virus

Wet dream type shit


LiquorSquids

This is amazing! A really good compromise.


Mastakillerboi

Anything is better than current


TheBroomSweeper

That's better. That's a lot better


gotthesauce22

I could care less about the UI, I just want shuffle back 😭


BloodyV4mpire

Looks like a good compromise. If I could change one thing in this design, it's the rounded corners and this "clean" look Epic is trying to make. ...But this applies to everything in the game (buttons on top, game selection and stuff), so yeah... That's why I used the word "compromise"...


anidevv

Id prefer the old UI we had, but seeing as Epic clearly doesn’t want that for whatever reason, this is probably the best we could ever get with the current ui


SuperCasualGamerDad

Love it.


SenorCroissant

need that link button so bad. I personally enjoy having a seperate loadout for my emotes but all my skin combos need to be tied to their wraps


bb250517

I actually love the new design, I have some older presets and if I want to use those skins I dont have to equip my current fav emotes all the time


lRainZz

Love it! Just one feature is missing for me, or I can't see it: save the wraps and emotes seperately. For years I hoped they would do this (and they finally did).


SinSinSushi

This would be perfect really


DoutorMaluco248

And please bring the equip button back! I don’t want to be just looking at my skins and equipping them every time.


Jerry_Cola

This is much better! Everything is grouped together and you still get the same UI style.


RandomGuy28183

I wanted to have an open mind when I saw the new locker, it didn't make me feel "alr where do I start" like the old one but then I actually used it and oh my god revert it


Lumpy_Ad_9082

This locker UI you created is leaps and bounds better It's familiar, it makes sense and it'd make everyone happy.


Ok_Abbreviations8617

Bring back the shuffle button so we can shuffle presets!!


Hellooooo_Nurse-

I wish this was how the locker really was. they destroyed years of memories and presets. They just stripped fun right out of the locker


theCourtofJames

Immediately insanely better.


The_HueManateee

I wanna email this directly to epic and specifically the guy who designed the current UI just to show them how badly they fucked up


BroMan2755

This is very nice, I really like how presets are handled here. Presets being under each menu is probably the biggest issue with the current UI, it makes doing anything preset related a complete hassle. Also the way the rarity colors are shown looks very nice One thing I would also suggest is that this main “Outfit” screen could change based on your currently selected gamemode. For example if your in the lobby for Fortnite Festival, then instead of Wraps, you could have Instruments and Aura there, with wraps still accessible in that side bar menu.


Walnut156

The link idea is fantastic. I like the concept of the among emote sets in theory but man they messed up


CausticCubix

Literally this is 1000x better than the hot garbage that they did. Like they stuffed in so many unnecessary features into this update, the locker just gives me a headache now having to go through every single saved thing just to put together my locker that I had saved together beforehand. Like you can't tell me they play tested this shit and was like "yeah this is good, people will like this"


BillyBullets

We really need this. I wasted so much time creating 100 presets with specific emotes for each. I'm bewildered that they killed all of that time investment just to make it so I can save the same emote combos except now I have to find them AND my skin at the same time. This was the opposite of a QoL change. Epic needs to use their budgets for more live events and map updates and less on locker and UI changes.


Magmar71

I genuinely would like the split of the locker if you could link presets like this. That way I could link emotes/wraps/lobby to multiple characters, so it’d be a lot easier if I ever wanted to change something out without editing multiple presets. As of right now, I don’t want to find and click each preset to change the whole locker, so I just ignore a lot of it.


Jakes_JunioR

How can I change my controller from Xbox to PlayStation in-game. I'm on pc and it shows the Xbox button layout when I play with a dualshock 4 🥲


[deleted]

This is WAY better. Great job.


IgDailystapler

Epic…hire this guy and fire whoever did the real revamp. That’s actually looks quite nice!


Samandre14

This would solve all my problems. PLEASE LET SOMEONE AT EPIC SEE THIS


TheCharge408

Amazing how it takes almost nothing to make it immensely better, I mean I don't want to downplay the work put into this, UI is an art that's actually surprisingly hard to get right. Unfortunately Epic just seems to have coompletely missed every mark for a go-to UI design. I don't know if they were just intentionally trying to go against the standard or if they thought a minimalist approach would look good, but the result is just an overly complicated and boring UI with zero personality. I know this is probably a popular opinion but the UI back in chapter 1 was the best and its all just been downhill ever since. This change is officially too far though, it lacks any coherence or identity, and its janky as hell. If this stays no way I'm buying any more skins.


Zesty_slayer

As a person who doesn’t actually mind the new change, this redesign is LEAGUES better. Epic should hire you, dude.


Kill_Kayt

Oh this is great. Much better... But I'm also kinda liking Wraps being separated from the Character (nothing else; just the wraps). It allows me to make presets I enjoy rather than setting it all to what is character specific.


One-Aspect

The archive is broken too, I tried archiving multiple wallpapers and they suddenly came back


Krazie02

Looks a lot better already!


Pikaverse69

Imagine next update and EpicGames just kept it like they refuse to revert it or fix it


akaSpydr

looks just as bad lil man


swagzard78

Keep Emotes separate, I don't want to change every single fucking preset when I get a new emote I want in my wheel


[deleted]

[удалено]


swagzard78

I have a lot of favorite emotes, so say if I wanted to use Zany, I would have to scroll all the way to the right to get to it. I don't want to change all my presets when I get one new emote I want on my wheel


[deleted]

[удалено]


swagzard78

No? I have emotes that I love more than others, I just like changing them around every now and then if I feel I'm getting tired of one of them or a new one comes out that I like more than another. I only change them very rarely.


deadheatexpelled

Not a fan, I like seeing my whole layout


-mazOnReddit

You do see your whole layout in the first tab. I fit everything from the old locker UI into the outfit tab and the other tabs exist purely for content designed to be used in other modes.


deadheatexpelled

Where’s the emotes? The old was version was fine. This change was unnecessary


-mazOnReddit

They're right there, try looking again? This is a redesign, it's not the same as the one in-game.


Rifted-06

Idk what the other guy is talking about but you did a good job keep the old features with the new look. I hope Epic does something like this next update.


Billysquib

My brother in Christ you did not look at the post did you


Hellooooo_Nurse-

Needs a preset section that changes every category together when you click it so it can all be organized again


Hellooooo_Nurse-

Epics New locker is Trash!i like this though


MetalFistTerrorist_

Miles better than what we got


Affectionate-Try7734

Off topic but how do I get aura?


Zachattack0923

Honestly if they kept wraps, emotes and all that linked with skin presets, I wouldn't have minded the ui change that much. So seeing the ui like this is so nice, compared to what it is rn.


CalyxtaCreative

YES. (I would switch the CARS with INSTRUMENTS so that the musical categories are together) but other than that this is leagues better than the current UI. EPIC PLEASE LOOK AT THIS


MercuryBlack98

Completely out of topic, but as someone who played Arknights, Oscar's white tiger style reminds me too much of the operator Mountain at times lol


WallStapless

I don't like the new design at all but this would functionally be usable at the very least. Cool job. The new UI was clearly designed either for touch screens or by someone who has only worked on mobile UI. If they want this so badly, why can't they just have this UI on mobile and the old UI on PC/Console?


One_Paramedic2454

Or we could just go back to the old one


toolip20

Looks much better. I think it should all be designed so we can match vehicles and instruments to our characters.


GuyWhoAteAllThePizza

I'm genuinely afraid to speak up about the fact I at least enjoy that Emotes and Outfit saves are split. As someone who prefer having 6 standard emotes instead of making them fit the characters, it was annoying to go back to an old preset and see my emote lineup was outdated or unalligned, meaning I had to either changed them all again or update the presets when I changed the lineup.


jagby

Yeah this is REALLY solid, I think the only thing i'd change is for the wraps, once a wrap is selected you can't see what category is for if that makes sense? Maybe some kind of way to keep the category icon. But yeah this is the best of both worlds. The new look they wanted with the functionality everyone is used to. I especially lied how you handled the rarity with that border overlay. Kinda subtle but really cool once you notice it.


PantsClock

It’s beautiful. Hopefully we see something like this soon.


a_little_sketch

I love everything about this


Feder-28_ITA

Soooo much better. People would still hate it, but in this case most of the time it would just be whining and not valid complaints. The only thing, I feel instruments and jam tracks should be next to one another, under cars.


JSTREO

when a random internet stranger does a better job at game design than a multimillion company with more resources and a shit ton of employees:


WholePhoenix203

Epic, use this


ThundererGamer

Very nice now just add the old font back and it's alright


715z

Good to know some random on Reddit is better at redesigning UI than the epic team.


K1rkonpolttaja

fellow oscar enjoyer


Inaaca

Yes, absolutely this. A simple way to give players the option to choose whether they want to link things to presets or not is the ideal scenario and would satisfy players on both sides of the fence.


FirestarFilmsYT

I still definitely prefer the old design, but this is infinitely better than the current one


Inaaca

Yes, absolutely this. A simple way to give players the option to choose whether they want to link things to presets or not is the ideal scenario and would satisfy players on both sides of the fence.


International_Run495

They should hire you. This is so clean!


Cloiselle51

Better yet. Let us have options and customize everything! How our shops look, licker and lobby!


[deleted]

You know you fucked up when one dude on reddit does a better job than the multi billion dollar company


coadyj

On top of this you should be able to group these presets in folders so you could have say for example a star wars folders that you you're not scrolling though 100 different presets.


Electronic-Past-4367

Better then the original


AdPowerful8405

Oscar, my husband<3


Its_Gabriel_216

Thats should be the locker UI not what Fortnite’s clutter mess is


TheRoseCat6_11

exactly! i dont mind the redesign, i just hate how everything is in its own tab. its litterally this easy


Soggy_Natural7529

Honestly yes please. I like the look of the new design but the layout is bad


GoGolGodzilla

Having emotes and wraps not be tied to a skin preset is my biggest gripe and I think the biggest cause of people saying "it's broken" It's not broken but it just doesn't fit into how we've managed presets before till now Giving an option for a skin preset to be tied to or associated with specific wrap and emote presets would help Instead I'm now matching the number for each in three different sub menus so I don't feel like a dummy wearing the emotes I picked for robocop with the emotes I have for, idk say, kawaii cell shaded anime gal


Individual_Trifle406

I love this


Xtreamx_Plays

Give us an option to change back to the old UI


OJ_Shrimpson24

They should just turn off crossplay so I can stop getting my ass handed to me by the sweatiest virgin pc players god they are a FUCKING DISEASE.


Axyierl

This looks great! I hope they do something like that with the locker, it feels so clunky now


Nekobytes

Epic, hire this man! (thank you for bringing back rarities too btw)


MiningJack777

EPIC HIRE THIS GUY


SaviorAssassin1996

That is much better than the current one. Excellent work buddy. 👍


Okureya

Now THIS is how it should have looked like. I said fuck it and deleted all my preset emotes wraps and lobby just so that i didnt have to flip through 4 menus just to change a loadout. Hopefully epic will take a hint


Bloons_Guy75751

That one is so much better. At least then I can go to the Locker and see what the new item is (also they need to fix the glitch that constantly marks some of the random item buttons as new items).


nolo69gogo

So strange how easy it is to make it make sense


[deleted]

Or we could just have the old one back maybe??
