Fortnite player claims LEGO collab \u201ckilled\u201d the Item Shop Epic GamesFortnite\u2019s Item Shop continues to be a hot topic for fans, and one player feels the LEGO collaboration is at fault. Chapter 5 Season 1 marked a huge milestone in Fortnite, as three new game modes joined the battle royale. One of the new modes is LEGO Fortnite marking yet another massive entity Epic Games has partnered with to bring a new layer to Fortnite. As part of the collaboration, players can now select LEGO versions of some of their skins for use in the previously mentioned mode. That said, some players aren\u2019t fond of the effect LEGO is having in-game, notably with the Item Shop\u2019s rotation as of late. Fortnite player claims LEGO collab killed this season\u2019s Item Shop This season\u2019s Item Shop has been a pain point for Fortnite players, with the game\u2019s forums and socials often obliterating the shop\u2019s selection of items. To add to that, a hotfix deployed earlier this week has removed the Item Shop\u2019s countdown timer, creating a layer of FoMO that fans deemed \u201cunnecessary.\u201d The main criticism comes from the game\u2019s subreddit, where Fortnite player Skull-OWar critically states: \u201cLEGO has single-handedly killed the Item Shop.\u201d They went on: \u201cNotice how the only skins that have been coming out have LEGO versions? Probably some stupid deal Epic made with LEGO that mostly stops them from putting in skins that don\u2019t have LEGO versions.\u201d Skull-OWar was also critical of LEGO Fortnite, saying it feels like a \u201ccrappy Minecraft or Terraria clone.\u201d They also pointed out other grievances such as The Weeknd dominating the Item Shop, most likely due to him headlining the Festival mode. Their opinion wasn\u2019t unpopular with players chiming in with similar thoughts. \u201cThey completely removed the Daily & Featured tabs and added this sh*tty signature LEGO style tab which only includes the same 30 skins and emotes,\u201d one player stated. Another said: \u201cThe community is being very vocal about what they want in the Item Shop and most of the skins that are wanted even have a LEGO version, so I don\u2019t understand what the game plan is at Epic right now.\u201d With the Item Shop seemingly in dire need of changes, here\u2019s hoping Epic Games sees the feedback and acts accordingly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
