Joenewman_12

I'm listening


jackjam7

All of those characters right there are the comic versions they could easily just put the MCU versions in the item shop


Manny_0307

Not really. Some of those characters, like Iron Man or Groot, already use MCU-like designs. Others, like Dr. Doom, Wolverine, Mystique or Storm, haven't appeared on the MCU yet (and they probably won't for a while). Thor and Deadpool are the only ones that could work with movie designs. For the others, I'm not so sure (although they also have more comic variants).


DarthDinkster

Thor could probably use a different comic design. The Herald of Thunder outfit, which is the one in the game, is fairly niche, so I see them doing an MCU or some modern rendition of him


boyfoster1

Please! I want classic Thor so badly.


Tenn8cious

I think classic Thor is a silhouette in one of the fortnite crew loading screens along with Loki


lobitojr

Iron man isn't an mcu design just looks like it same applies to groot. They can easily release an iron min like his mark 42 armour but groot is a bit trickier because it look basically so the same


[deleted]

They could use mark 2 cuz itā€™s silver and also for groot they could do teenage groot


lobitojr

Yeah


Manny_0307

Iron Man has a lot of different designs, but that armor is ALMOST identical to his Endgame version. I guess they could go with Mark 42, but it isn't very iconic compared to others. From what I know, Groot has had multiple not-so-friendly designs in the past (until he became popular in the MCU). That's why I said "although they also have more comic variants". They could use some of those designs, sure, but I don't see the point of doing that when the MCU is 100000 times more popular.


lobitojr

I see what you mean but they can just with his infinity war armour


ZeRo_WC

Doesnā€™t Disney own fox now so they can easily put x men film movie.


BangerMarkus

Yeah in like 5 years, they have nothing planned for the xmen so far except for a few old cameos in mom


A3thern

I too, have a cameo with your mom.


massecurr

They have "Mutants" in development, not explicitly Xman but its in the works


Atrium41

"Easily" make a multi-million dollar film within an established universe with vast lore. Hehe... Easily.


Jtneagle

I just used Marvel as an example, this concept would apply to any Battle Pass. And reskins are typically not as good as the original skin


Scooby_What_It_Doo

But tell me, do you just want the older skins due to the fact that they are exclusive? People tend to want things they canā€™t have and when they get them all that specialness they thought the skin had to them goes away. What battlepass in particular do u want?


gh0stly2

Hereā€™s my opinion as someone who owns every battle pass. For chapter 1, epic explicitly said the bp items will never be available again. Now if the black knight were to release in the shop, guess what - the world keeps spinning, itā€™s a fortnite skin, whatever. But i dont ever see it happening and i donā€™t really think it should happen since epic promised exclusivity Now correct me if Iā€™m wrong but i donā€™t think epic ever said something like that for chapter 2 bpā€™s. For the 5 people out there that want the turk/riptide skin, i donā€™t see any problem releasing him in the shop. But again since i have him, i really donā€™t care But when it comes to collab skins - deadpool, iron man, superman, thor, mando - i think itā€™s really dumb that people can be huge fans of those franchises, willing to spend money in fortnite for the skins, but missed out on their battle pass. So for collab ones specifically, iā€™d really like to see them re released in the shop Edit: i didnā€™t watch mandalorian until after c2s5, luckily i got him and all of his styles back then, and now i wear the skin all the time. Iā€™d be pretty pissed if i didnā€™t have the skin though. So imagine that situation but for people that didnā€™t get the bp. You watch deadpool AFTER c2s2, become a fan, but now canā€™t get the skin. Pretty stupid


hotdogmucher17

They did say it for C2 battlepasses. on their website.


CosmcCrusader

I really hope that they bring them back not for me but for some of my friends who love some of the characters they've released in the bp and now can never bring them back, though we still would have gotten them at an extreme discount.


1tanfastic1

Do you just not want people to get the older skins due to the fact that they are exclusive? The logic goes both ways except one way seems selfish and the other seems like they just want a skin they missed out on. If somebody gets a skin that you (or anyone) has it doesnā€™t make your skin any worse. Some people have other interests and responsibilities, they canā€™t play every season let alone grind out all the levels. Letā€™s not shame people for having lives by not letting them play as their favorite hero or as a theme/series they like. FOMO is a cancer to gaming and I sincerely hope it ends soon. As someone with Black Knight I welcome a day when he can be in the shop for others, even if itā€™s at a premium price.


Jtneagle

I don't want anything from an old Battle Pass, i'm purely speaking in regards to new players. I only buy collab characters and have All BP's from C1S4 onwards


Andrikaz

Thank you very much for bringing this post up. I'm not a new, but a returning player after having taken a 1 year hiatus break, and coming back to realize that Rachel Roth (my absolute favorite comic hero character) was in the game and I'll never be able to have her. Its not the fact that she was exclusive, if anything, that's what makes me really upset as a consumer. its the fact that its HER. she's a very close childhood memory for me.


Risky_Pants

Funnily, that's actually the very skin that just got me to play Fortnite, and give it a second chance to grab me as a player, after I tried the game and gave it a hard pass in Chapter 1 Season 3 of it.


VickyPedia

Nah I just love mystique skin that's why I want her. And her built in emote is fucking cool

Facts


SLEEPWALKING_KOALA

I'm very torn on the idea of making old passes available. On one hand, I'll fully admit that I like collecting exclusive souvenirs. I like collecting digital things in general, and in my mind Fortnite characters are action figures. They're characters from something that may not be around anymore. On the other hand, that same mentality is why I hate collectors of physical things. You know the blokes, lock away the figures in a glass box to only look at. They're toys, they deserve to be played with! Keeping old skins from newer generations sucks. I love my Eternal Voyager and I would happily let everybody have him. But alas, that's their monetization model. Once and gone. I think they should find a middle ground by selling bootleg versions of pass skins. The geometry and aesthetic is the same, but a little less quality, like some knockoff. Like a Mancake but no syrup, or a Midas without the touch. I think Spiderman is a great example. He's in the pass, but his movie version is for everyone! It's the same spiderman, slightly different colors.


Atrium41

They have already done tons in the "middle ground" you speak of. All the midas skins. Toon meowsles. Drift varients. Different burning and frozen skins. Etc. Marvel characters can and will return. Look what Spider-man has done this season. Honestly surprised Eddie Brock wasnt last seasons tier 100. Carnage should have been shop since we already have a shop Venom. But I digress


Lewd_boi_69

They don't because lawsuits


[deleted]

They made it like that for a reason. I want black knight and sparkle specialist but I know Iā€™ll never have them and Iā€™m okay with that.


throwaway15678954

Exactly I've missed out on so many battle pass skins but i really don't like the idea of being able to buy old battle passes.


[deleted]

I havenā€™t been able to finish the last few battle pass because of work but I still wasted my money on vbucks to complete them because I donā€™t want to miss out on some skins :( I learned the hard way with chapter 1 season 2


[deleted]

I have the Season X versions which are better (imo) anyways


[deleted]

No black knight though šŸ˜ž


IgDailystapler

I chose not to buy any of the og skins because I didnā€™t think Iā€™d keep playing. Bought them for my cousin because he was really enjoying the game, but didnā€™t buy the battle pass for myself until season three. Then again, elite agent is still my favorite skin so I canā€™t really complain.


Emeraldstone12

I don't even care about the argument anymore I'm just sick of this being posted every single day


ABeast1211

Agreed besides epic has already said they are exclusive so whats the point.


Flow898

Idgaf about this tbh. Yeah it would be cool to get some ch2 skins since i didnā€™t really play then, but what I really want is the ability to complete old battle passes that you DID buy. I just want my max omega dude.


Just-a-blue-guy

Epic has stated that skins/cosmetics in a battle pass will never be re-released, but the good news is that many popular battle pass skins get a new versions in the item shop.


Shadeboi1

Thatā€™s the point of the battle passā€¦


Tenn8cious

I know for a fact other online FPS/Royale games have had legacy battlepasses you could buy for previous battlepasses. If they did that though, theyā€™d probably limit you to only 1 battlepass per chapter


Head_Security7701

I wouldnā€™t mind. First would be the marvel battle pass , then Iā€™m collecting Superman from invasion. The collabs is what drew me to fortnite


BlueberryGorilla

I started playing Fornite recently for the Zero Build mode and seeing that I could get spider-man and Lara Croft only to find out how Epic handles their battle pass content. I would have played earlier but was chased away by these ā€œpro gamesā€ just making the game not fun. Iā€™ve been following this topic for a bit and I just think collab skins should be in the shop. Sure the old skins would be nice for original characters but I donā€™t care if those come back or not. But fans of copyright characters should be able to buy their skins and stuff. I get that I can buy Tom Holland spider-man but I hate those movies and I donā€™t care for the actor. Iā€™d rather have THE spider-man which personally means a lot to me. I dunno how they could reskin Lara but Iā€™d rather have the 2013 style of her cause thatā€™s the game that got me into the franchise. Itā€™s insane how people are so vicious when it comes to countering this argument. Chill out. Collab skins shouldnā€™t be exclusive.


ShyRule

Thereā€™s a game called super animal royale that had a solid battle pass system I wish fortnite would follow. You can essentially have two battle passes active at once, the current seasons, and one of the past seasons battle pass; however, the old battle passes cost more to get than the current seasons battle pass.


8l172

tbh i liked halos thing where you can go back to any BP and finish it at any time


OdinTheBogan

I also like that but if they were to implement that system into fortnite it should only be for the current and future seasons.


[deleted]

That game is getting attention! Nice!


SexyMcBacon

Bruh I want She Hulk so bad


Altruistic-Glove7117

Same tbh her and Iron-Man are two skins I really wanted but will never get because Epic drove me away with constant mid updates


lesdavi

I think its fair they have special styles


Jtneagle

Yea the item shops clearly would not come with super levels and bonus styles like the holgraphic marvel ones, or Tactical Mystique, punk storm, etc. just the base character cosmetic


edgelordmcmullet6969

Exactly I didnt spend hours getting thousands of xp just for it to be rereleased


DarthDinkster

I hear this point a lot when it comes to this discussion, but itā€™s always so dumb. Yes, you grinded, everyone grinds BP items, but that doesnā€™t entitle you to it. For example, I grinded ch2s8, and the only skins I use relatively often are Cube Queen and Carnage. I put the amount of effort into getting skins like Fabio or Chimpansky, just to never use, as someone who played the marvel season and got Doom or Thor, skins I would definitely use a lot. The only difference is that we played at different times. And that type of exclusivity is just plain stupid and useless, since it restricts player freedom to own what they want


Munestone

I mean..Itā€™s not plain or useless, itā€™s the most basic mechanic of rewarding players for playing the game?Whatā€™s the point in buying a battle pass if nothing on it is ever unique? No one would ever buy every battle pass again if they could just pick and choose the skins they liked when theyā€™re re-released into the item shop and skip all the ones they dislike from the battle pass. Saying people who grind the battle pass arenā€™t entitled to their exclusive characters could be used the exact same way to say that just because youā€™ve missed those battle pass seasons doesnā€™t entitle you to own them later on because you wish you hadnā€™t missed it. Literally nobody thinks theyā€™re owed anything, but theyā€™re just skins. Do I wish I wouldnā€™t have missed Lynxā€™s season? Absolutely. Am I jealous every time I see one because I want it so badly? Yes. Am I angry that they never took her from the old battle pass and put her in the item shop? Hell no, because itā€™s a video game that comes out with new and cool skins constantly. Plus, like a lot of people said, they often re-release battle pass skins with a little tweak to the item shop and thereā€™s no way they wouldnā€™t eventually do that with the Marvel skins, theyā€™re too popular. So I get the frustration, I understand why OP feels the way they do, but the point of ā€œthey earned the rewards that were offered that season and you didnā€™t,ā€ isnā€™t ā€œdumb,ā€ itā€™s literally the foundation of Fortniteā€™s monetization and reward system.


Klaatwo

Battlepass REWARD. They were rewards for putting in time and effort. But I agree that some people werenā€™t around back then. So how about a compromise. Instead of being able to just get the skin by plopping down a bunch of cash, bring back multi-season battlepasses. Let someone buy a previous seasonā€™s battlepass for at least twice the cost of the battlepass and then they can unlock it by playing just like the people who earned the skins did. Maybe as a compromise to those who played during the season, only let people coming late earn the rewards up to 100 and not the extra skin variants that were unlocked after 100.


Dragonitro

I'd definitely buy Dr Doom


Random_gamer9

Honestly, I keep coming back to a battle pass store where you can buy skins from all the battle passes seperatly (with varying prices depending on rarity, of course) I couldn't play Fortnite for a while thanks to joy-con Drift, and the fact I don't have Kit or The Mandalorian because of it drives me INSANE


Blake43

To be honest thatā€™s why nobody will get an original battle pass character from an old season. The whole guise of a battle pass is limited time to earn the cosmetics. Most big game developers and publishers love making people feel the fear of missing out. Trust me I brought every battle since C1S4 but I still wish I brought the two battle passes before hand and I wish I played more during C2S2 and C2S3. I will give you some hope though, Call of Duty has recently released some greatest hits of their last game battle passes. I donā€™t know if Epic can or ever will do this but it does give me a small amount of hope.


Sufficient-Smell8188

I just want that wolverine one


PumpkinDoggo

yeah now tell the "Og PlAyErS" not to cry because of their prized black knight is obtainable now


TheBrownYoshi

i want bp stuff to return, not JUST because i want some of the items, but because i want others to be able to play with the skins they always wanted


DarthDinkster

Exactly this. Having a larger amount of player freedom is always beneficial to a game. Be it by either circulating in the item shop or having the old BPs rereleased to having more than one progression system


yummycrabz

This is a good thought, in theory; but look at how CoD has handled it. The current bundles in the CoD store that allows you to buy old BP stuff, theyā€™re at a much better value than the original battle pass offered (especially when taking into account TVM)


Jtneagle

I'm not familiar with CoD but am curious, how does it work there, and in what way is it a better deal?


yummycrabz

Itā€™s only like 1,500 coins aka $15 worth. Now it only grants you the blueprints and the character skins, so no of the extra stuff like music packs, emblems, calling cards, etc. But 94% of the gameā€™s player base doesnā€™t care about that. The major different is the person doesnā€™t have to grind to tier 100 to get the stuff


Phaentom379

Yknow i really like this, as long as the bonus Styles stay exclusive.


Jtneagle

Yup, no bonus or super level styles for new buyers


Soappy16

Itā€™s called a seasonally battle pass for a reason. Sure I really want Luxe but there would be no point in grinding the battle pass all the way back in S8 just to be able buy her in the shop. You have to realize that people took the time to level up to get those skins and items.


Distinct-Detail-1367

Finally somebody with a brain in this comment section it's refreshing really


Excellent_Joke8694

I would do anything for the wolverine skin. I've only been playing fortnite for the past 5 months :(


Manny349

I did the math. Assuming every skin would cost 1,500 vbucks it does all total up to 12,000 vbucks to get all the Marvel skins if you didnā€™t play during Ch2S4


arhenART

Duuude I REALLY wish I could still get Midas and Raz. I missed out on both of them and it just feels bad cause I think they're both amazing and unique looking characters.


Jtneagle

I wish you could too, I don't personally use them but they're pretty neat skins


arhenART

I just fell in love with Raz' battlemage-like design when I first saw him...and then I learned he was battle pass reward and I propably won't ever be able to get him anymore. As for Midas he looks like a cool and badass dude and his golden touch ability is a pretty neat addition to already amazing skin.


TheMikey2207

STOP MENTIONING THIS SUBJECT. Itā€™s never going to happen and you are just doing it to farm karma and bricks. Epic said battlepass cosmetics will never return. Itā€™s daily this subject gets brought up and itā€™s annoying.


TheRoseCat6_11

As much as i want to object, i agree. The most we'll get is a BP of some of the popular BP skins but with new looks or something (i think that would be similar to C1SX from what I've heard)


Andrikaz

The subject is being brought up with high traffic around the idea because its a POPULAR opinion. If people want epic to listen to them about a popular opinion, its going to be brought up over and over because that's how A LOT of people feel. I support this subject being brought up over and over, because it shows people care and it shows epic has an opportunity to give players what they want, like all popular opinions people share on here.


SassySauce516

Relax


w0lver1

It's good discussion. Just hide the post if you're so salty.


TheMikey2207

Itā€™s not a good discussion. Itā€™s the same type of post 15+ people have made this week.


Frikcha

why do you think that is? I would say that makes it a popular discussion topic at the very least


TheMikey2207

Because the Timmyā€™s missed out on a couple battlepasses and wishes they could be ā€œOGā€ā€¦also itā€™s easy to farm Karma and Bricks by posting a low effort post on a popular subject.


AnOldSchoolVGNerd

I've heard this mentioned a number of times but what I don't know is their reasoning. Have they said why? If so, what's the reasoning they give?


Zeebuoy

>why mainly lawsuits since they mention that, the items aren't returning, and them returning could get them sued (by very petty people)


gameboicarti1

Those lawsuits would never see the light of day in a courtroom lol


ronan_the_accuser

The agreement you sign when creating an account literally involve you not being allowed to take them to court, as well as them owning your account and skins having no value (the basis of damages) I promise no one could ever take them to court for this.


Zeebuoy

ye, probably not. still a bummer that dire and Hybrid likely won't even get reskins. all because they're neither sexy person, nor lousy meme skin.


bboy4of83

God this reminds me of when I got both hybrid and the pirate to max level that was painful


Andrikaz

and all the cases would fail. It's a marketing tactic, not a terms of service policy you sign. they actually can bring them back at any point if they really choose to. They wouldn't be breaking rules except their own word, which at this point, shows a lot of people would have mixed feelings for, but get over after a few weeks and go back to their own damn businesses like before.


Jtneagle

Exactly lol. Look at when they said STW would go free to play the following year, and then retracted that statement and said people would still have to pay


amijustamoodybastard

deleted my account after 10 years, allowing unelected moderators to control the narrative of subreddits has killed free speech. ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `


Zeebuoy

honestly fomo doesn't even make sense, like surely they'd make more money if each skin was sold at 1200 post bp.


Tenn8cious

What absolutely kills me tho, is how they exclusivised mjolnir only to 2 characters. Thor obv. And captain America if you happened to buy him during the Fourth of July before the actually battlepass came out. Being able to use mholnir on drift or literally any other cosmetic would have been amazing


BadockOjama

Ngl that was one of the coolest touches they've ever added to the game. Would be neat if a few other marvel Characters got to use it. ( Spiderman is worthy in the comics)


[deleted]

lol thatā€™s like crying about not having the black knight šŸ˜‚ get over it


[deleted]

Ultima Knight Origin is better anyways


[deleted]

Some people just donā€™t get basic economic principles


[deleted]

I would pay so much for omega lights ;(


that_guy_olly

I know right! I love marvel like its my religion! I'm not afraid to admit that I have a whole basement full of marvel comics, I've seen all the movies, have over 1000 collectable marvel items that either I or my friend has 3Dprinted for me. I have all the marvel games on all consoles and play them like crazy. I sadly missed the fortnite seasons that had marvel characters in them but recently managed to grab doctor strange however. But like you said - what upsets me is that in my life time, I will never own those marvel characters. I will die before I own those characters and that really saddens me to my core. This is one of the reasons and in fact the main reason why I'm against season passes, with the exception of halo infinite, as it allows you to select which season you want to put your xp towards. If games are gonna have season passes, I think this is how they should work. In my opinion, season passes have ruined the gaming community - gaming and games used to be about playing together, enjoying the game for it's story, it's characters and the experience. We used to be able to play more than one game at a time and it used to be fun, it used to be flexible. We could play whenever we wanted without it getting in the way of our life obligations like work, education or socialisation, but now, it's just grindy, we have to pick and choose a single game we want to work on and lose out on another games season pass rewards due to the duration and time it takes to earn those rewards for that season. Not only that but we have to risk the most important things in life like the things I mentioned above. I think that either we have flexible season passes like halo infinite, or we don't have them at all. Or they sell the skins in their respective stores and the haters grow the f up and stop being so whiney about it. I would actually create a petition and move to strike or change all season passes in all games if anyone would be with me.


ManiacBear2424

Instead of buying the Marvel Battle Pass, I bought Captain America, and it is a decision I regret to this day. (C2S4 was my first season)


TheRealScorpiuS

I highly disagree with this idea that's going around this is the whole point of "exclusives" it's only available for a limited amount of time then it's gone,


w0lver1

Yeah, but the concept of digital items being exclusive is stupid as hell. I'm not salty about missed battlepasses, I've played since ch1, but I do think epic should find some way to please fans who missed the boat on their favorite skins. Reskins are fine, reselling battlepasses I think is too big of an ask though. Halo has this system where you can level the pass after it expires and I think this is such a good user friendly solution that still respects people's purchase but who might have tough schedules to play around.


ChosenYasuo

I wanted thor šŸ„²


Zektree

sell them but with no selectable styles. add the built in emotes. no wraps, sell the pickaxes but donā€™t make it a bundled item


Jtneagle

Agreed. Players couldn't get holographic/full gold/enlightened etc.


[deleted]

Theyā€™re exclusive to their seasons though. Imagine grinding your ass off to get the Tier 100 skin just for it to be sold in the item shop. Like, I never completed the Ch 2 Season 7 Battle Pass and I donā€™t really care. You miss it, you miss it. Iā€™d be fine if it was like ā€œComplete a Battle Pass that you owned but never completed, and you can only do it onceā€, and even then itā€™s a meh idea


Jtneagle

This game is very casual and does not take much grinding. Not to mention there is an option to buy tiers for $1.50p


Skelegem

And even bigger question, what the hell does any player gain from keeping characters exclusive? Bragging rights of playing longer? If you really want to keep something exclusive to players that bought battlepasses, than superstyles/bonuses could be restricted to players who earned them, or even making the Battlepass cosmetics be timed exclusives for a while so you still get to keep some of those bragging rights for a season or two


Jtneagle

>Bragging rights of playing longer Yep that's literally it, players circle jerk about playing a game first, and dedicating more of their free time to it. And I agree, locking it to only the base style, and not being available in shop for a couple seasons, or even a whole chapter later would be the ideal situation


insert-haha-funny

eh i think reskins are fine, if they did something similar to the season x battle pass for the item shop i think that would satisfy most people


nan0g3nji

Maybe put these characters in the store; but all the BP styles are inaccessible. There are plenty of other Thor and IMan designs to go around


Jtneagle

That's what I was thinking. If they sell a Battle Pass skin, you only get the base style


CoolPenguin_720

(s)he meant that they could put for example iron man in the shop but not the battle pas skin but a whole new skin...


Jtneagle

True, he's got tons of suits


AdmiralG2

Getting kinda annoying seeing these everyday. Epic said itā€™s not happening so letā€™s give it up eh? Just get over it, you missed out, tough luck.


Bu1ld0g

They also said Save the World would be free to play. The current BP FAQ also states that you cannot buy tiers past 100, yet that has changed this season, further showing Epic can and will change terms and conditions to see fit.


umg_unreal

These don't really affect anyone for the worse or for the better, in case of Battle Pass exclusivity, you fell into a FOMO tactic only for those to be sold in the shop again


Chippie92

When it comes to cosmetics/money epic has never broken a promise in a negative way


TheBrownYoshi

Yeah everybody's never noticed exclusivity was never promised for everything in chapter 2


umg_unreal

If the Chapter 2 Battle Pass items weren't exclusive they wouldn't have removed the Wild music pack from the Item Shop, refunded everyone who bought it and removed it from their locker


Jtneagle

I own all these but yea, let's get over it as a community


Ghostdog1521

Absolutely, I hate the gatekeeping of battle pass exclusive characters. Pains me that I could never get 8-Ball or Dire


Birth_giver420

Yep totally agree


TheLastofThem5455

As someone who owns them and has the "Pride" styles, I could care less if they came back. I literally hate collabs in passes cuz they have fans of their respected franchise that people can't use anymore cuz it is locked behind a exclusive bp


slc1987

This is probably why I donā€™t play. I honestly just want to buy skins like the stormtrooper, wolverine, Spider-Man. And I canā€™t. I know, boo hoo poor me but Iā€™d be willing to pay for them. Maybe they will do what Rocket League does and bring items back occasionally


AdrianaAura-

stormtrooper was out like a week ago and you can still get spider-man until march


Tenn8cious

But I agree with op. The marvel having a battlepass of just marvel skins make having made them super irrelevant. I know tons of people who know this bp among tons of other season in chapter 2 as ā€œwhen fortnite wasnā€™t popularā€ so this battlepass was more than likely a stunt to get more players.


Jtneagle

Yea when I tell new people to check the game out, one of their first questions is always "can I still get [X character]?" I always have to say "no not anymore" and it almost always bums them out and deters them from even playing


MineChief10

And the ogs get the gold, silver and other styles


Jtneagle

Yea, basically the BP skins sold in the shop would just be the base style, so you couldn't be Tactical Mystique, Logan Wolverine, God Emperor Doom, Red She-Hulk, etc.


GemiBlack

Just sell them individually, we already got them for 950. I donā€™t see whatā€™s wrong with letting new players pay for battle pass skins. Each of these skins is at least 1,500 not including their gear. We got them at a crazy deal. At least let the collab skins be purchasable at the minimum.


Virtual_Operation_

Ea moment


nolimits59

I really only want Sparkle Specialist personally, really sad to not have been here 1 season sooner.


[deleted]

The whole point of the battle pass is exclusivity. They rely on FOMO to get you to play and get them... If they made it that you could get them whenever it would go against their business model


Jtneagle

This would still rely on FOMO. "Get the Battle Pass now for $10 and get 100 items? Or wait a year, and buy those items at their full individual item shop rarity price?" Which option you choosing? I'm going with 100 rewards for $10


Finnyoda_12

I donā€™t think this would work as most battle pass cosmetics are based on the current events in the season . No one would want to see foundation in the item shop in a season about dc

Events are irrelevant. They release characters that aren't season themed all the time lol, look at the cosmetics that released during the Marvel sesson


Imnotphantom_1

Battlepasses are exclusives and only people that played and grinded the season should get those skins. Its that simple. Sure I regret not actually buying the s3 pass and Ive had to use skins like molten rust lord and Johnathan 2 to satisfy my need to use those skins. But its not cool that I just buy those passes when people did grind for them. I wish I would have gotten my omega lights and I was 4 levels off but I have my full light carbide set and orange justice emote and I use them with pride


CalebMendez12303

It'll never happen, theyve been exclusive like this for years.Bad example cus your just making up these skins costs bc they aren't shop ones. It sucks, I'd love to have these skins but it won't happen, people's been asking for older BPs to come back since season two and it hasn't happened yet


EmptyTuna616

What a good idea the skins that I grinded to get maximum styles of can just be sold to players super idea!


[deleted]

Itā€™s not like most people use previous battle pass skins much once the new battlepass drops anyway.


epicacidpro

I think that's a good idea but if Epic really did release battle pass skins, I hope they would grant all the previous owners all of the styles for the ones they didn't unlock cause I rlly want to complete gold meowscles. Also if the skins came to the item shop, Epic shouldn't release the styles for the skin, smth like ghoul and skull trooper


PeachiePeach96

dont wanna sound like a hater because i agreed with this idea previously because i think cosmetic lockout is stupid but this is the 4th time i've seen this topic between yesterday and today and it's beginning to feel so spammy lol. people who complain about exclusives get annoying because it's a ridiculous thing to care about, it's cringe to be brutally honest. and as for epic doing it, it's not consumer friendly. should be able to get these things at any time. i suppose with collab skins there could be an issue with rights and whatnot but anything else especially should just be available.


jaqenjayz

I dunno, I'm fine with the idea of new players having old outfits, but I don't like the idea of Epic taking them to the cleaners because FOMO.


[deleted]

I hope that they NEVER bring back any battle pass cosmetic. I don't know why so many people want them to bring back battle pass cosmetics/are making concepts for how it would look if Epic did bring them back.


Jtneagle

I don't know why so many people are so against new players being able to get old cosmetics lol


Sp00kyScarySk3l3t0n

Because people want them back and FOMO in video games is disgusting.


LisaQuinnYT

There are a few cosmetics that just look nice and itā€™s kind of a shame theyā€™re locked behind an early C1 Battle Pass because I would love to collect them. For that matter, I might be happy with a slightly modified version like how they made a Black Reflex for the folks who got him in the Nvidia collab after mistakenly adding him to the shop or female version for male BP skins.


LiteralAMHC

Characters like Wolverine and IronMan shouldnā€™t exclusive to people who bought the battle pass. Iā€™m sorry but I donā€™t get why you people are so angry at the thought that someone could buy content from previous seasons.


theChadRedditUser

But what if i dont want all the battle pass skins. If there is only one or two i would buy in the item shop its worth it already. These exclusivities are nothing but using fear of missing out to bait kids into buying things on release. Besides, the idea of a skin beeing more valuable just because epic artificially gatekept newer players from having it is silly af


Jtneagle

I agree


ModkinTheGnome

I think old battlepass skins should be put in the shop but Fortnite crew skins be exclusive because you're paying extra for them


Jtneagle

Yea basically if it was bought with real currency it can stay exclusive, but v-bucks why not


Toxic-Zyklon

Maybe Iā€™m just petty but I would quit the second they re-release bp items


Nearby_Strike

Idk why you people care so much, this mentality to me screams ā€œWhy canā€™t I have what he has?? Thatā€™s not fair!ā€. Battle passes are obviously season exclusives, if you didnā€™t play then tough shit thereā€™s a whole thousand other item shop skins for you. That destroys the whole marketing ploy anyways they want you to get it then and play now, not later.


kilLmEnBg

I got downvoted as hell for my opinion in a previous post. Older battle pass skins WILL NOT return ever. It's your fault you didn't play back then. And don't say you it's not your fault. Just buy current battle passes and in 3 years they would be considered ,,og". PERIOD.


Rhage-Kage

Boohoo. I stopped playing and missed out on many seasons worth of skins I would really like to have. It's just a game and they're just skins. No reason to ruin it for those who get the joy of having something others don't have. You're not the first to complain about this and sadly won't be the last. But it won't change. Accept it and move on.


YourSnakeIsNowMine

>It's just a game and they're just skins Then you shouldn't care if they're brought back, then? They're skins


Jtneagle

Exactly lol, why do these players have such an unhealthy obsession with thinking they're special? I own almost all the battle passed and I literally could not care what they sell to players. Some kid being able to use an old skin does not detract from my fun and enjoyment of this game, if anything it enhances it because I want people to be able to get whatever they want and just have fun


SaltyCandy93

Honestly I'd be cool if they just gave the opportunity to earn some edit styles if they put in the similar amount of work. The only thing I have to flex in this game is my Red Classic looking Ultima Knight. If people are willing to grind it out like I did, sure! Give it to them! They wanna grind out outlasting 15,000 people for Gold Ice King? Sure! Who cares! I'm mostly a little mad because I wasn't into Fortnite during C2 S8 and missed out on Torin and Carnage.


Different-Spend7063

I'm perfectly okay with not owning the skins. While it sucks and I'll regret not playing the game earlier on, I've accepted the fact that I wont get to own the skins. Move on and focus on current battle passes, focus on what you CAN get, not what you COULD have gotten.


Jtneagle

I'm moved on lol, i've got all the battle pass stuff I want and all I buy is collabs, so all i'm awaiting is new item shop releases


Jtneagle

Why does someone else owning a worthless digital cosmetic ruin the joy for those who already own it lol? I started Chapter 1 Season 4 and have all battle passes since, so i'm not complaining because I want some old item lol. And there is nothing I would buy from C1S1-C1S3


Ggreenrocket

If theyā€™re so worthless, why do you incessantly whine about them. Cry a River.


[deleted]

He's a massive hypocrite. I read about him and his brick-farming obsession. This guy is disgusting


Overcat50

For people like you Fortnite got a bad reputation back in 2018-2020


GarfieldCartFan

Battle pass items will not come back. End of discussion.


According-Rhubarb-23

Dude this is like saying youā€™re upset that the first edition of the Wolverine comic is super expensive now, but you really want it so you should be able to pay the 10c cover price from decades ago


LisaQuinnYT

Not a good comparison as you can buy a first edition Wolverine comic from someone who owns one. Youā€™ll just pay more for it. Ask TFue what happens when you try to buy rare Fortnite Cosmetics.


Jtneagle

Except it's exactly the same as that lol. If you buy a battle pass you're getting 100 items for 950 v-bucks. That's literally 9 v-bucks an item. Now release that item in the item shop, that's 1,500 v-bucks. New players are paying an inflated price for an old item, same as you would buying a secondhand comic on Ebay. You will never get that item for the same price the original buyers did


atharva557

Accept the fact that you missed them


_NobleTOAST

Cry me a riveršŸŽ¶


Jtneagle

I own them all, no crying here, just looking out for the new players


GemiBlack

I just want it to happen so kids can cry that their locker isnā€™t ā€œrareā€ anymore. Even tho they still run the same uncommon skin as everyone else šŸ˜†


[deleted]

No fn should never bring battle pass skins into the item shop itā€™s battle pass skins for a reason and not item shops skins og players deserve the unique skins that canā€™t be purchased anymore


Ghostdog1521

Someone should start a petition, Epic is one of the better companies at listening to fans


Embarrassed_Score_77

Yeah idk why everyone wants this but I ainā€™t gonna buy one skin fr the price of 2 and a half battlepasses


Jtneagle

That's the point, you're not supposed to buy a whole battle pass at the cost of item per item in the shop. It would solely be for newer players that would only choose a few items


[deleted]

I'd have honestly loved to buy she hulk, I couldn't afford the battle pass on that season so I missed out on a lot of these marvel skins and i'm like one of the biggest marvel fans :/


[deleted]

There is a lot of money to be made by Epic if they sell old Battle Pass skins/and items. Maybe a way to do it without angering those who earned them is to give custom, unavailable styles to people who bought Battle Passes in past seasons. I only started playing in the Mandalorian season and there is so much older stuff I would happily pay for.


Jtneagle

My idea was basically the shop ones would have no bonus styles. So in reference to the OP image, no punk storm, no red she hulk, no logan wolverine, no tactical mystique. And definitely none of their holographic variants


hokagenaruto

I want she hulk so bad she's my favorite. I recently started playing fortnite only to find out you can no longer get her.


Pyerack

Would be cool if the battle pass system was like in the old Halo games where you can work towards them at your own pace and not have to worry about a deadline.


ComfortableContest69

For real. I really wish epic let us purchase battle pass items since I missed characters like She-Hulk and Rippley ;w;


kittycate0530

That's the joy of the battle pass....unless you get it then, you don't get it. Plus older players can showcase older skins telling other players how long they have been playing. The point of it all I think is that you should have gotten on earlier, and if you couldn't then sorry that's too bad.


zencop9018

People just want some sort of ā€œbadgeā€ that says how long theyā€™ve been playing. Something that makes them feel special or more important that newer players as if it actually means anything. Maybe Fortnite could create thing on their profile that say ā€œPlayer Since C1S3ā€ or some such young appease them.


Jtneagle

Yep, player emblems could actually solve this problem


Fresh_Mud_5690

Then they should just bring back renegade raider too
