Fortnite players, open that wallet! The Item Shop Update has arrived with must-have items-GINORMOUS cosmetics. Everything was laid out by a tweet from iFireMonkey. The community has a… well, to put it delicately, mixed reaction. Let’s observe: the fear of missing out will really mess with your head.
Beginning with the Battle Ready, the set returned with six variants (ID: BR0722). There will be real anticipation among Tactical players-their skins are supposed to look like they’ve been through real battles, or at least they’re often considered to be ready to pretend they have. And then there’s the Academy Champions bundle (x4, ID: Academy), provoking some weird contemplation. Alicia outrightly focused on the query, “What is academy champions?” and honestly? Same question here. It is kind of set that either you know about it or you don’t, and if you don’t, well, Epic isn’t going to help much.
The Jam Tracks (x4, ID: JamTracks0722) take their turn now, because nothing says “victory royale” like blasting your tunes while constructing a fortress. And then there’s… Son Heung-min. Yet again. Tottenham Hotspur star’s skin (x2, ID: SonHeung) is causing some raised eyebrows in the shop. Kay was like, “Now why the tf is son back again.” Boxed, by Matthew Nut, said, “its been 70 days since he was last seen jesus is eeryone here like broke or what 😂😂😂.” Keeping it real.
There are actually some people who aren’t complaining. SuperSonicBeams declares his anticipation: “Will be shopping tonight for sure.” On the flip side, the unfulfilled RaZe_wolf2 puts down, “We don’t fucking care, we will when fantastic 4 is in.” And Coey? Begging for Goku Black instead. Priorities.
But wait; all the real gems are in the replies. Freddy1565 demands, “WHAT ABOUT CLYDE,” and honestly, same. Chun_Gief observed Son Heung-min “got overshadowed by SF last time,” which probably is the reason why Epic is pushing him again. And then, Gravemind_343 went for the update just to drop the coldest take:”stayed up for this shit.” Ouch.
Then what is the verdict? If you were waiting for Battle Ready or need more Jam Tracks to fill in for the in-game concert, it’s your night. But if you are out for Clyde, Goku Black, and Fantastic Four… well, maybe next time. The Item Shop giveth, and the Item Shop taketh away. Just ask the guy who’s been waiting for Son Heung-min’s return for 70 days.
And hey, at least it’s not another Marvel collab. Wait, did I just jinx it?
