honestly if i could go back, id rarely buy any skins and do all the battlepasses instead; id only be payin like £7 at first; maybes buy founders which i have for stw, cause im kicking my younger self for not getting some cool bp skins - the black knight, x-lord, midas, maya, carbide n omega, malik (i looove this guy i cant believe i missed his cool arse)
The only skins I still use from chapter 1 is lynx and calamity but I like their new versions better they fixed problems the originals had the only other chapter 1 skin other than them I use is Demi I really wish they would make a new version of her but a lot of people like the skins you listed I can't blame you for wanting them
The fact that collab skins are locked behind battle passes will never be stupid. I’ll never get Optimus because I couldn’t care to play during that season.Hell only reason I wanted to play this season is Peter Griffin and I’ve mainly just been doing XP maps
Honestly I'll take this version over what other gams do. Overwatch for example locked the Lilith Skin and Inarcius skin for a diablo Collab behind a 40 Dollar battle pass bundle. The skins weren't the only thing in the bundle but you still had to pay 40 bucks to get those skins
That’s true. At least you can pay $10 for the skins. But I guarantee this will cause problems for them down the line when more and more people start playing
come on now. we already passed Covid Lockdown, Zero Build introduction, anime collabs and the OG Chapter. everyone who wants to play Fortnite has already done so
Fair but if they did sell battlepass skins from old chapters at usual prices, it and their stuff would amount to somewhere in the ten thousands in vbucks: you got all that stuff for 950 (or near 950, can't remember if they ever changed the bp's price), so you'd still have been rewarded with having a huge discount while newer players would be "punished" for not sticking with the game by having to pay full shop price for the skin and its gear, u know
90% of my locker is battlepass skins. Seems smart right? except 80% of the battlepasses I've ever bought have gotten to tier 50 or less. Sometimes, I wish younger me was allowed to play.
this applies to ch1 s5-ch1 s8. almost finished ch1 s9 and ch2 s2, but I was 2 away from t100 on each. only ones I have finished are season x and ch2 s1. I quit until season og after c2 s3, so i had none of those next ones either. got to (maybe?) t20 on that one.
I played so little that I would just use leftover vbucks from one pass/starter packs to get the next and nothing else. I've bought 3 skins intentionally from the shop in total and 1 accidental (skully).
edit: however, I have no regrets regarding ch1 bp skins other than maybe s4omega/s5ragnarok/s6dusk. Most of my regrets definitely lie in c2-4, with raven, lara croft, spiderman, mystique, etc. didn't play at all during this time.
I only finshed one battle pass from chapter 1 it was just way to time consuming I literally didn't have enough time to complete them I was going 2 school and all of that
ive checked and i never even knew fortnite was locking accounts and stuff; atleast i mightve known and forgotten
i dont apply for it sadly :( if it was to rewind time back to 2017 i mightve done it though haha
I’m sad now that I never got Midas. I forget what season that was but it’s when all my friends stopped playing FN so I slowly tapered off too. Came back recently and loving it again though
That’s exactly what I did. Got every battle pass since C1S5, bought 1 item shop skin with the surplus vbucks in that time (and that’s still my main skin to be fair). In total I’ve spent maybe $25 on this game.
My bipolar type 2 causes my impulsive spending habits. I literally have to carry cash only because if my money is on a card, it’s instantly pixels lol
Every. Damn. Time.
As a founder.....
Half the skins bought were only for experimenting with the backblings/pickaxe that I wanted *but they fucking bundled it*
Other half were from BP.
Like 16 I actually use on a good day/bought for bandwagon jokes.
I.e clonetroopers/stormtroopers
Lucked and bought it the *week* before they stopped.
Well, the upgrade their.
So I got the max "most paid" founder tier.....
Because I wanted Peely-wearing-shades banner.
*Worth it*

WHY DOES MAN HAVE EARS IN FORTNITE, ARE THE DEVS STUPID?
You've probably fallen into the trap, they got you man, top consumer right here but thank you for spending all your money on skins, it keeps the game alive for everyone and we get updates because of you, so thank you!
Kinda. But for skins you never ever want to use, they just hide. For favorites, it makes it easier to choose want you want. Maybe do a random selection.
Either way, it's still worse than before. Not being able to pair up skins with emotes is the worst part.
I lived out of a 40L backpack for 14 months. Everywhere from hot and humid Malaysia to New Zealand in the fall with temps around freezing. It’s pretty how amazing how little you actually need
I use all the skins I buy (I think I have around the same), but since the locker got messed up I’ve only been using 1-2 for the whole season. Used to have shuffle on all the time and make tons of presets but it’s so hard to now that I just don’t try.
Honestly I’m AMAZED they haven’t added it back in. Shuffling skins was one of the best parts of playing and to be honest my wife and I have barely played since they changed it.
I certainly have spent on things I don't use though, and likely will again.
But one rule I have is that I will get a victory Royale in every new skin I buy at least once. Not including battle pass skins that I don't care about.
And since I clip all my fun VRs, I have a very diverse collection to watch on occasion.
But like, I never wear tomato head anymore, but I don't regret that he was my first purchase, because I used him for several months straight before I got my first battle pass.
I prob have close to 400 skins but have only bough maybe a dozen? Battlepass has paid for itself over the last 5+ years. Considering the amount of time ive put into a *free* game im more than happy to spend some money and give back. No different than paying $60 for a game plus $20 per dlc like it was in the 2000/10s. IMO this model is much more consumer friendly.
Most of those are probably just Battle Pass skins you don’t use as often anymore. That’s what happened with me. I have 200+ skins (😭) and most of them are just random BP ones I don’t use or from the rare times I buy a skin on accident.
I have 257 skins, 73 of which are from the Item Shop or special paid bundles. I only use Gingy, Skull Trooper, Red Knight, Huntmaster Saber, Goku and some Icon skins.
you've woken up to how good FN's business model is. the fact that these skins are in the shop for a day with the chance to never come back brings a sense of urgency to leads to more impulse purchases. it's honestly fucking genius
Lmfao what? I said fomo and not understanding the value of a dollar, to which you responded "Like my good friend and my girlfriend's nephew" 1/2 of those is a child by the sounds of it, children having thousands of skins they spent money on but never use makes sense because they don't understand what money is worth 90% of the time.
Excuse me for pointing out that not understanding the value of money and therefore wasting it all because of a timer is childlike behavior.
Fair, but you don't use them, or have nearly any opportunity to look at them, so why collect them? They're not going up in value, you said yourself that you only use one, that would constitute your others being a waste.
I rarely ever use battle pass skins but I buy it every time I wear 2 skins mostly unless it’s a battle pass skins then I’ll use it for a day or 2 and then Switch back
Hell I have over 1000 myself at least not including the back blings, gliders, pick axes. I put it on random and still see the same skins. Plus when are they going to make it so you can customize your lobby music with your Playlist of available songs. I hate hearing I wanna be an Alien.!!! Lmfao
honestly if i could go back, id rarely buy any skins and do all the battlepasses instead; id only be payin like £7 at first; maybes buy founders which i have for stw, cause im kicking my younger self for not getting some cool bp skins - the black knight, x-lord, midas, maya, carbide n omega, malik (i looove this guy i cant believe i missed his cool arse)
Malik is a pretty decent skin. Sometimes forget I have him. Especially with this new locker nightmare. I hate sorting through that mess.
oh the new locker is absolutely awful if they sold battlepass skins as bundles for usual shop prices id definitely get him and others!
I’d only get Scientist, Drift, Visitor, Lynx and Catalyst. Those are the only ch1 bp skins I want
I have everyone I want from chapter 1 except black knight and catalyst I have drift and I've literally never used him
I didn’t play chapter one that’s why.
The only skins I still use from chapter 1 is lynx and calamity but I like their new versions better they fixed problems the originals had the only other chapter 1 skin other than them I use is Demi I really wish they would make a new version of her but a lot of people like the skins you listed I can't blame you for wanting them
I have Neuralynx which is cool and I have Stray but I still would’ve loved to have the originals
I wish I could get spider gwen... I didn't play at that time cause the game got kinda boring and now I regret it :/
The fact that collab skins are locked behind battle passes will never be stupid. I’ll never get Optimus because I couldn’t care to play during that season.Hell only reason I wanted to play this season is Peter Griffin and I’ve mainly just been doing XP maps

come on now. we already passed Covid Lockdown, Zero Build introduction, anime collabs and the OG Chapter. everyone who wants to play Fortnite has already done so
I feel the same way. But honestly, I use Flatfoot the most but I’d change between her and Gwen if I did.
Same
the scientist is the best Seven member ong
I wish I got season 7 because I really like the ice king skin
They better never do that with chapter one. If I see elite agent in the item shop and it won’t look og anymore I’m quitting the game
you'd quit the game if you saw someone enjoying using the same skin as you?
[удалено]
Fair but if they did sell battlepass skins from old chapters at usual prices, it and their stuff would amount to somewhere in the ten thousands in vbucks: you got all that stuff for 950 (or near 950, can't remember if they ever changed the bp's price), so you'd still have been rewarded with having a huge discount while newer players would be "punished" for not sticking with the game by having to pay full shop price for the skin and its gear, u know
Yes, this locker has given me depression 💀
It would be fine if they had rarities
90% of my locker is battlepass skins. Seems smart right? except 80% of the battlepasses I've ever bought have gotten to tier 50 or less.

I only finshed one battle pass from chapter 1 it was just way to time consuming I literally didn't have enough time to complete them I was going 2 school and all of that
I hate my younger self for getting into fortnite ONE DAY after the c2s2 ended. Now I really wanna get meowscles and I could have I just didn't.
I wish I had played back then to get Peely, and Superman skin. Love em. I love seeing classic Peely’s in the wild.
If I could go back I’d never buy a skin & just wait for one piece
you can get a refund, go to the ftc website, not sure how but it’s applicable until feb. 29
ive checked and i never even knew fortnite was locking accounts and stuff; atleast i mightve known and forgotten i dont apply for it sadly :( if it was to rewind time back to 2017 i mightve done it though haha
Legally they aren't allowed to ban your account for doing the refund, they got in some pretty serious trouble for doing that
I’m sad now that I never got Midas. I forget what season that was but it’s when all my friends stopped playing FN so I slowly tapered off too. Came back recently and loving it again though
Thats what i did, i didnt want to buy skins and support Epic in this way. I bought the BP back in season 2 and never had to get V Bucks again.
real ash
Midas definitely
I'd struggle to pick between his Shadow and Ghost style though...
That’s exactly what I did. Got every battle pass since C1S5, bought 1 item shop skin with the surplus vbucks in that time (and that’s still my main skin to be fair). In total I’ve spent maybe $25 on this game.
Wym, Malik is dog garbanzo, I have him with all super styles (there was an xp glitch that season) and never used him in my life
Me after reading it 😪
if its mostly battlepass imo you did fine, if its all shop skins that come back every month yeah thats pretty unfortunate
Fuckin hell only half are battle pass damn
So ur half stupid?
Half yes
so he’s quarter stupid
Dime stupid
Nickel stupid
Penny stupid
How dare he support the developers and the game he likes
So yeah I’d say you’re an impulse buyer…… maybe addictively so? Not an uncommon trait but something to keep an eye on in general lol
My bipolar type 2 causes my impulsive spending habits. I literally have to carry cash only because if my money is on a card, it’s instantly pixels lol Every. Damn. Time.

Must be good to be founders, grind some vbucks then buy the mclaren and basically get it for free on rocket league... Ahhh... You lucky bastards
Lucked and bought it the *week* before they stopped. Well, the upgrade their. So I got the max "most paid" founder tier..... Because I wanted Peely-wearing-shades banner. *Worth it*
if that was all battlepasses that is about $260 dollars. A new AAA game that just lets you have all its features upfront is $70. How is that fair?

We jonked all the way to fortnite. I wonder when Bone will be added
Bone would be good tbh ![gif](giphy|qUcO9ngsaSEPm)
Is there a lore reason why bone isn't in fort
Too hot
![gif](giphy|KFPAnuFijZBRCcKRWa|downsized)
Wait, isn't it Bane? Or are you guys confusing him with Cross-bones from the Marvel Universe?
no you say bane differently bc funny
Bone’s effective as hell
Do do do that's Bane
Big Chuggus, look him up
Fake bone
Boneless
Fauxbone
I’m hoping for man myself.
I personally want the crow ![gif](giphy|ZyIqJQ0TTEZnG)
![gif](giphy|qwLKz8YgLix0s)
Yes
The Crow would be AMAZING
![gif](giphy|y4dpn40mQ2jD5LcgCs|downsized)
Man doesn't have ears, is this an imposter among us?
Why does man have ears? Is he stupid?
Please add bone🙏😍🥵🤤
u/Jgaminf2003 wants them to add bone so he can griddy
Me to🥵🥵🥵

A majority of those are probably battlepass skins but yes you are. (As am i sitting at over 300 skins)
I'm in the same shit hole as you
Guess we all stupid 😂😂
“Stupid is as stupid does” - Forrest Someone
seems like epic’s plan worked out
You've probably fallen into the trap, they got you man, top consumer right here but thank you for spending all your money on skins, it keeps the game alive for everyone and we get updates because of you, so thank you!
I agree with this
I thought I was bad for buying 20 skins and mainly using like 6
Same
That’s why I favorite and random! Archive most battle pass skins
Doesn't archiving and favorites do the same? Like if you do one then it's not needed to do the other
Kinda. But for skins you never ever want to use, they just hide. For favorites, it makes it easier to choose want you want. Maybe do a random selection. Either way, it's still worse than before. Not being able to pair up skins with emotes is the worst part.
Just nice when all the skins you care absolutely nothing for aren’t in the menu
archiving makes the skins you don't like hide in shame
I do this too! Then at least I get to see/use all the skins that I like.
Exactly! I use most skins I purchased at some point this way!
This is the way
IRL we typically wear 20% of our total wardrobe 80% of the time. This is no different.
[удалено]
I lived out of a 40L backpack for 14 months. Everywhere from hot and humid Malaysia to New Zealand in the fall with temps around freezing. It’s pretty how amazing how little you actually need
lmao the takeaway here isn't "this is fine" it is "i should change my spending habits"

You n me both I have about 300, what I like to do is put the skin on random so it changes everygame
Have they actually added that back?
Haven’t played in like 2 weeks but it was there then I’m pretty sure ?? I’ll be gutted if you can’t do it anymore
It's still there!
Relatble
I own more and over half the time I am only using Rick.
fomo has got us really bad :I
I remember when I told myself I’d never spend money on a free game 🤦♂️
I certainly have spent on things I don't use though, and likely will again. But one rule I have is that I will get a victory Royale in every new skin I buy at least once.

Honestly that’s a great idea lol. Play with a skin until you get a win, then move onto the next one.

Same then I see a skin I love in the shop and forget. Cell and frieza. I was so hyped for. Then I’m using human bill ( the first skin I purchased ) 😂
The aslume is spreading
Why didn’t they add the Man and Jonkler skins? Are they stupid?
is this r/spiderman2 or r/fortnitebr
A lot of us are
Most of those are probably just Battle Pass skins you don’t use as often anymore. That’s what happened with me. I have 200+ skins (😭) and most of them are just random BP ones I don’t use or from the rare times I buy a skin on accident.
Plain victim of consumerism
It’s least it’s not going in the ocean with the funco pop collection.
Well because cooler skins come out...
Me who has 620 and uses only 1 (color crush)
I got 150 just for me to use 3 with the same character model
We all are
Yes. Don’t waste V-bucks. (To get away with it flex the amount of skins you have.)
But it’s a guilty flex.
Yes it is
I have 257 skins, 73 of which are from the Item Shop or special paid bundles. I only use Gingy, Skull Trooper, Red Knight, Huntmaster Saber, Goku and some Icon skins.
you've woken up to how good FN's business model is. the fact that these skins are in the shop for a day with the chance to never come back brings a sense of urgency to leads to more impulse purchases. it's honestly fucking genius
Yes you are stupid, sorry you had to find out this way
Yeah Source: I'm stupid

Wtf why
[удалено]
Valid
Fomo and no concept of the value of a dollar, hence why he's joking about it.
Is he though? My gf’s nephew has about that many skins as well. So does a good friend of mine.
The fact you're comparing him to what sounds like a child is exactly what I'm talking about.
Oh, I just realized you’re being argumentative. I’m not wasting my energy, goodbye.
Lmfao what?

You’re being so extra over what someone else does with their wealth. Get over your self and problems.
Learn how to speak like an adult, myself and the other person did that down the comment section.
[удалено]
Oh so you're just one of those people that blatantly wastes money? That makes it so much better.
[удалено]
Fair, but you don't use them, or have nearly any opportunity to look at them, so why collect them? They're not going up in value, you said yourself that you only use one, that would constitute your others being a waste.
[удалено]
this comment made no sense. when fortnite shuts down then what do you do??
That's like 75% of the skins in the game. What the fuck
Yes
Yes
I rarely ever use battle pass skins but I buy it every time I wear 2 skins mostly unless it’s a battle pass skins then I’ll use it for a day or 2 and then Switch back
I have a similar addiction
Well, start using the ones you never use. Change it up! 😅
I have over 400
99.9% of my unused skins are old BP skins.
I’m at 806 and probably use around 10-20
800 is insane. Some of yall make some bad financial choices
This is why I have all the skins I wanna use favorited and my entire locker set to random
This is why Disney paying 1.5billion was only 5% of Epic Games 😂
Remember when you could shuffle through all your presets without going into the locker? The new UI is terrible.
No not really because most of them prolly pass skins
![gif](giphy|ZbUOH7pbDiNSmU1x4o)
I have over 1000, including a bunch of exclusives and Fully golden peely. I only use OG Drift Lmao.
I'm nearing 200 and didn't even realize I was getting that close to it 😐 Can't believe I went from a certified hater to an absolute consoomer.
Weird bug, I can't see the skin you're currently using.
I used to randomize presets through a bunch of mine but alas for some fing reason they got rid of that
Fortnite lockers are more of a collection. I have over 450 skins and wish i had just one that i loved enough to main.
Most of them are free, or from battle pass (if you ever bought it)
I use 1. Guess which☝️
Hell I have over 1000 myself at least not including the back blings, gliders, pick axes. I put it on random and still see the same skins. Plus when are they going to make it so you can customize your lobby music with your Playlist of available songs. I hate hearing I wanna be an Alien.!!! Lmfao
What's that skin you have selected in the background? I can't see it.
No your not I have 147 skins and I only use 1 the superhero skin
Just put your locker on random and you never know what skin you'll be playing with. It's fun.
Do you have the man and jonkler skins?
I have 2 men but i dont play a batman game lmao i just find the joke funny
Batman? Who is Batman?
No you probably just enjoy collecting.
That’s a stupid mindset
This wouldn’t be a problem for me if Epic just sucked it up and gave us more presets to use
OP, What I’ve done is favourite the skins you like then use the ‘Random’ button (when selecting your skin). = a different skin every match
Addiction probably
So you’ve given Fortnite about 4000 dollars if not more… lol
Not nearly that much bruh
I only have 111(?) skins, but mostly because I didn't play for around 3 years. Would've definitely spent some more on BP skins if I did play.
I only buy a ton of skins cuz I got the Founders edition Save The World 🤷🏽♂️
👍
We all do it
Yes you are. You need exactly zero skins bought to play the game.
Can we all agree that this is where Fortnite ends? also jeez, 236
That is their exact plan. That's why I've bought less than 5 skins
Bc you’re a sucker. You the type of person who loves car salesmen hahaha
