In comes yet another nutty crossover into Fortnite, and this time, it is apocalyptic in relation to the island. Yes, you heard right; they’re going to make a profit from Negan-the-good-for-nothing-farmer from The Walking Dead, beating brains around with some ideas of bashing heads with zombies and players alike.
And get this really shocking bit: Walking around swinging Lucille like a lunatic is not gonna be cheap.
The entire Negan bundle? 2,000 V-Bucks. About $16 USD, give-or-take, depending on how one gets in-game currency for “purchase”. But for that, if all you want is the man, then he’s gonna cost you 1,500 V-Bucks all on his own. Sure, not much for a guy who can, this in every sense of the word, be called embodiment of chaos.
And finally, “Accessories?” Time to start talking; as can clearly be stated: it wouldn’t be Negan without his iconic bat, wrapped in barbed wire, Lucille. Pickaxe version? 800 V-Bucks. That’s almost half of the skin’s price, but come on—how else do you properly intimidate people in the pre-game lobby?
Then we have the “KRAKK!” wrap (500 V-Bucks) and “Biter Skull Bag” back bling (400 V-Bucks). The wrap is… fine, I guess? But honestly, the back bling is pretty sick-it’s this tiny bag with a walker skull poking out of it. Gruesome but appropriate.
Nothing has been said to this date about special emotes coming with Negan (kinda picturing that eerie whistle of his or his trademark lean), but honestly, just the fact that he’s in the game is quirky enough.
The crossover list for Fortnite has already been a fever dream-Batman, Master Chief, Kratos, and now this? I mean, who’s next, Walter White with a blue meth grenade?
So, keep those V-Bucks, and if you ever fantasize about acting as TV’s most charismatic villain, then this is perhaps your time. Just don’t be shocked if everyone runs the other way the second they see ya.
Wait, what was I saying? Oh right-Lucille is thirsty. And so is Epic’s wallet.
