Fortnite players blast \u201cstupid expensive\u201d TMNT crossover Epic GamesThe long-awaited TMNT crossover is in Fortnite, and while it\u2019s brought quite a few cosmetics, it\u2019s also raised quite a few concerns. Fortnite Chapter 5\u2019s launch made a splash when it arrived, per usual, with its huge suite of gameplay additions and its new Battle Pass featuring the likes of Peter Griffin and Solid Snake. Pretty early in the season, fans discovered bigger things were coming after discovering hidden nods to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Fast forward, and the long-anticipated crossover with the ninjas\/pizza enjoyers is finally here, with new quests and cosmetics to earn. However, the crossover is drawing some anger, with fans pointing out key issues with the Item Shop\u2019s pricing strategy. Fortnite players blast TMNT Item Shop pricing Shared to Fortnite\u2019s subreddit, Apprentice_Jedi shared an image of the Master Splinter skin. As part of the crossover, players can purchase the Turtle\u2019s teacher from the Item Shop for 1500 V-Bucks. While that seems rather harmless, Apprentice_Jedi points out that players only receive the skin, a LEGO variant, and a Back Bling for 1500 V-Bucks. Players can purchase the staff separately, but that\u2019ll cost an additional 800 V-Bucks since there\u2019s no bundle option. \u201cThis is more than an individual Ninja Turtle and the entirety of April\u2019s Bundle which includes significantly more items. 2,300 for three items is crazy,\u201d Apprentice_Jedi said. Many others chimed in with similar thoughts: \u201cDude, it\u2019s been like this for a while, and it is very unacceptable. I don\u2019t really buy stuff I would before anymore.\u201d After agreeing with how \u201clame\u201d the cane being sold separately is, one player replied with their lore-accurate alternative: \u201cI will probably just use Mikey\u2019s nunchucks with him to make it lore-appropriate with how Splinter defeated Shredder in the first film.\u201d The other issue others have noticed is the TMNT Instrument Bundle costing a whooping 3000 V-Bucks. \u201c30 dollars for the music set that\u2019s not worth it at all sell them for 300 each like wraps that\u2019s basically what they are,\u201d one player reflected. Rocket Racing was also blasted for a similar issue as $40 car skins debuted with the mode\u2019s launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
