Fortnite players crushed as Epic \u201cgatekeeps\u201d classic skins despite updating them Epic GamesFortnite players have called out for Epic Games to bring back old Battle Passes after introducing brand-new LEGO Outfit styles for classic skins in LEGO Fortnite, with no way to get them. Fortnite\u2019s old iconic skins have become increasingly rare as time goes on due to Epic holding tons of their original cosmetics under lock and key. If you were lucky to get them at the time or weren\u2019t even playing Fortnite back then, such as new LEGO Fortnite players, the chance to ever get them has remained slim. One player rallied for Epic to introduce \u201cLegacy Passes\u201d to solve the issue, and the Fortnite community on Reddit instantly showed their support for the idea. The post featured an image of the Darth Vader skin, which hasn\u2019t been made available since it was released years ago in Chapter 3 Season 3, next to its new LEGO Outfit style, which is rewarded to players who own the original skin. As ProdbyPyxlwhip put it, \u201cFomo doesn\u2019t work when you literally can\u2019t buy it anymore ever again ever,\u201d with the image highlighting the point: \u201cHow do we explain to new players that to get Darth Vader in LEGO Fortnite, they should have bought a pass 3 years ago?\u201d Many players flooded in to agree, \u201cEpic relies on time-based exclusive items, I doubt they\u2019ll ever release any sort of Legacy Pass till the game is on its last leg,\u201d one of the top comments read. \u201cI have Darth Vader and all Battle Passes since Chapter 2 Season 7, but I agree fomo is garbage. It\u2019s absolute garbage. People who love gatekeeping skins are just pathetic,\u201d a player replied. Another added: \u201cI don\u2019t even need them to be Passes. Just sell the items in the shop at normal shop prices.\u201d Despite this, a player claimed: \u201cI could probably see them releasing a White Darth Vader since a white LEGO Vader is releasing soon in a set.\u201d Feedback was mixed on the White alternate version potentially arriving, while several called again for Halo Infinite\u2019s Legacy Battle Pass feature to be introduced. \u201cThink of how many people would buy the older Battle Passes if they were available like Halo\u2019s model, \u2018Oh I\u2019m done with this season instead of being done with the game I can select one I missed and work on that\u2019,\u201d one more said. This feature has often crept up among calls in the community for various reasons. Many players have claimed that they were \u201ctoo sick to play\u201d during the Battle Pass period or various other reasons out of their control, and that Halo Infinite\u2019s Battle Pass feature would be the \u201cperfect\u201d solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
