Valorant will relaunch its Night Market on August 19th, along with a fresh new Wonderstallion Cosmetic Bundle for players to purchase. The bundle is based on unicorns and stars, adding a burst of color to the game. However, one cosmetic item in the bundle drew the attention of Fortnite players, who instantly identified its likeness to the Rainbow Smash pickaxe from the Battle Royale. The Wonderstallion Melee hammer features a similar shiny star-studded handle, a five-point star at the foot, and a unicorn horn on top. As a result, Fortnite players have been mocking Valorant devs for being \u201cfans\u201d of the Battle Royale game and using the pickaxe\u2019s likeness in their next weapon. Furthermore, numerous players pointed out that the Wonderstallion Hammer resembles a cross between the Rainbow Smash and Star Wand pickaxes from Fortnite, due to the star at the bottom of the hammer. \u201cFortnite community cooking y\u2019all,\u201d said a Fortnite player. \u201cI\u2019ve already seen it somewhere,\u201d wrote another. A third user who prefers the original, commented, \u201cCan\u2019t even hold a candle to the OG.\u201d On the other hand, Valorant players who weren\u2019t fans of the unicorn design also turned in their thoughts as one wrote, \u201cWhen we said we wanted more girly skins this is NOT what we meant.\u201d Another chimed in, \u201cBtw Riot you don\u2019t need to make radical manly skins and then radical girly skins, etc, it is getting boring.\u201d However, a player thought that Valorant would be a \u201cport in Fortnite\u201d just like the latest Fall Guys collab in the latter. Valorant\u2019s Wonderstallion Bundle is expected to be released around the next Night Market rotation, and interested players may purchase it for roughly 3,400 VP, including individual guns for 875 VP apiece and the melee hammer itself for 1,750.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite players mock Valorant for \u201ccopying\u201d their pickaxe into new melee Riot Games\/Epic GamesFortnite players are mocking Valorant devs for allegedly replicating an upcoming melee weapon in the Wonderstallion Valorant bundle from Epic\u2019s Battle Royale pickaxes.
