Pokimane\u2019s Fortnite emote has unintended consequences for every skin L: Epic Games R: PokimaneAs part of the Fortnite Icon series, Twitch star Imane \u2018Pokimane\u2019 Anys got her own emote in the game, but it\u2019s doing some strange things to the character models. Epic Games have been rolling out new cosmetics for Fortnite streamers with the new Icon series, with the likes of Ninja, Pokimane, and Jordan Fisher all being immortalized. Ninja got things started with an outfit skin and emote, while Pokimane and Jordan Fisher followed with emotes. However, Poki\u2019s emote isn\u2019t doing any favors for the skins currently in the game. For some reason, her emote, which is a dance that the Twitch superstar popularized, stretched out the skins and warps their body size. This issue isn\u2019t exclusive to just one skin, as players are reporting problems with a variety of them. The Kylo Ren skin, for example, becomes super stretched while using the emote. An in-game example of this can be seen below, as Reddit user xTechFusion20x captured a clip of the Snorkel Ops performing this emote and becoming warped as a result. If Snorkle Ops becoming wider isn\u2019t enough evidence, players quickly revealed even more examples of the issue. Redditor Solid- shared an image of three different skins all having enlarged torsos, showing just how widespread the problem has become. All in all, it\u2019s not the biggest deal as this won\u2019t have any effect on gameplay, but it is annoying to see an emote you paid for significantly alter your character. Several Fortnite cosmetics have had issues in the past, such as capes having unintended physics, and they were subsequently fixed by Epic. Since this is happening to so many different skins, Epic might get a fix pushed out for this emote as soon as possible. In the meantime, you\u2019ll just have to deal with your character model being a tad thicker than usual whenever you use this dance. We\u2019ll have to hope that future Icon emotes will not run into issues like this, especially since they all have a chance to become really popular.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
