Without a doubt, the release of Gogo Yubari who’s the schoolgirl killer from ‘Kill Bill’ is the most significant news about Fortnite today. HYPEX, who is a leaker and insider, was the first to inform everyone about it and even shared a link to buy her and a support code. However, this situation seems to be a norm in Fortnite since the release was accompanied by a small drama. So, let’s take a closer look at the incident.

To start with, the time for waiting is over and Gogo Yubari is at your disposal now. You can get her through the HYPEX link, and if you want you can show your gratitude for HYPEX being so nice to inform you by using the code ‘HYPEX’ at the payment. A very nice skin has been created specifically for the character; it is dressed in her luminous yellow tracksuit from the film. The bundle includes the skin and based on the response from the players, the entire package is about 1,500 V-Bucks. But here is the twist – some players claim they could buy her at a much lower price, or even got her for free because of a prior movie ticket promotion. One user named ‘micr0wavedpuppy’ evidently stated, ‘I bought her with the movie ticket days ago.’ Thus, some players had already been given access to the skin before and it was always one less heartbreaking moment for the rest.

Nevertheless, the comments indicate that the skin is not the only topic of discussion among the players. They are also commenting on the state of the game. The players were very excited about the new skin but at the same time, they were very disappointed that they wouldn’t even be able to log in to show off their new skin, so they complained about the game’s servers right after the new skin was released. One of the players even thought that their login difficulty was a sign that they had been hacked, which surely is not a pleasant panic.

The server mess created a situation where the replies were a typical combination of hype, requests, and absolute chaos. The players have already started begging for more from the ‘Kill Bill’ collaboration. A user going by the name ‘JenniferAlmanor’ insisted, ‘Listen to me… O REN NEXT,’ while ‘Sean_Keta’ simply suggested, ‘More Tarantino plz.’ This crossover has certainly struck a nice chord with a lot of gamers. On the other side, random requests are becoming more common – one user is asking where the ‘caramelised axe’ is, another is asking about the rest of the Sonic the Hedgehog cosmetics, and of course, there’s the mandatory ‘Where’s All Might?’ from a My Hero Academia fan. The comment section of the Fortnite Item Shop is definitely a crazy place.

When it comes to the value of the bundle, practicality has also been a large area for discussion. M ‘LUKE2733’ was the player who bought the item and at the same time admitted, ‘Just wish her emotes were in the bundle.’ Another player, ‘ArdicusRet’ said that by paying 300 V-Bucks you get the rest of the bundle items which is ‘great.’ There are also players like ‘Dakareto McKillip’ who feel worn out for the grind, saying that getting XP this season is ‘really draining!’ which is quite relatable. The debate even moved off-topic a bit when ‘Crittex’ asked if people prefer dropping off from the Battle Bus or surfing to the island in Chapter 7. Oh, what was I saying? Right, Gogo Yubari.

So, what is the lesson learned from this? Epic Games yet again created a crossover skin that players desired so much. The Kill Bill presence is really strong with this one, no doubt. Nevertheless, heavy server issues that the community is really upset about are the ones that are sneaking up on the launch. That’s the continuous battle in the live service games: great new things vs. the basic operation to enjoy it. Some players are completely into getting their Tarantino collection finished while others just want to log in. Still, some smart ones have already got the skin through either a promotion for cheap or free. Just another day in Fortnite!

To wrap up, Gogo Yubari is on sale. Assuming that the servers are working properly for you and you have the V-Bucks, she is a great addition to your locker especially if you like movie skins. Just check the Fortnite status page before you click on the purchase button unless you want to be stuck on a login screen with your new digital assassin.
