Throwing around accusations of pay to win content is no small matter. With millions of players logging in daily, Fortnite introducing new premium unlocks that give a competitive edge would be met with more backlash than even Doctor Strange could predict. While Fortnite\u2019s fourth season brought a ton of iconic Marvel figures into the battle royale, some skins appear to have more useful effects than others. Many of them can be unlocked in the Nexus War Battle Pass. Though others can be bought outright through the daily store as well. In one of his first videos in the new season, LazarBeam uncovered a few hilarious ways to gain an advantage. Full disclaimer: none of them are actually pay to win. But they can provide some amusing opportunities to confuse your opponents. The first skin in question is Mystique. This popular character comes with a one-of-a-kind emote. After slaying an enemy, she\u2019s able to transform and shift her appearance into whatever she last killed. From an opposing skin to the design of an AI bot, she can change her look on the fly. This can be considered \u2018overpowered,\u2019 according to LazarBeam who used the emote to trick his opposition. The \u201cpay to win emote\u201d let him \u201cbecome a robot.\u201d He then stood still among a group of AI and threw his enemies for a loop. \u201cIf someone comes here looking for some loot, they think they\u2019re going to come up against some NPCs, but LazarBeam is going to be sitting here sweating.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s amazing the things you can do in Fortnite if you just spend some money,\u201d he joked. Another skin that provided a super niche advantage was the Silver Surfer. While many players have taken issue with his actually powerful abilities, LazarBeam found a patient trick to once again, catch enemies by surprise. \u201cI am made of entirely silver components. This statue is also made entirely of silver,\u201d he said while gliding down to Doom\u2019s Domain. He sat atop the statue and blended in, turning completely \u201cinvisible\u201d as enemies passed by without noticing. \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s pay to win or pay to meme,\u201d the YouTube star acknowledged. While the skins obviously come with unique effects, none of them can outright gift you a win. Almost all of them can be earned without spending a dollar as well. If you\u2019re leveling up your battle pass, here\u2019s what you can expect to unlock throughout Season 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LazarBeam shows off \u201cpay to win\u201d Fortnite skins in Marvel-themed season Epic Games \/ YouTube: LazarBeamEpic Games introduced a number of popular Marvel heroes and villains with the major Season 4 update, though some of the new character skins appear to be \u2018pay to win\u2019 in the eyes of Lannan \u2018LazarBeam\u2019 Eacott.
