For all the Fortnite fiends, clutch your V-Bucks; the Saw franchise has unleashed Mr. Billy for the umpteenth time in item shop, and the reactions are quite out of this world. The almost revival of an iconic horror character has some gamers jumping for joy and feeling nostalgic, whereas the rest are wondering if Halloween is really budding early this year.
First of all, much explanation must be given before we proceed: Billy-The creepy puppet from Saw-will set you back 1,500 V-Bucks or 2,500 if you pick up a bundle. An opportunity now comes to secure a piece of horror-movie history inside Fortnite should have missed out on it the first time. Oddly, it’s June and that merch is scary now, not October. Who cares if the calendar says otherwise when such a killer skin awaits for you?
The announcement of the drop went nutty on Twitter, all players jumping into replies-a full-scale phenomena. Many rejoiced for it: EastJulie26687 tagged a friend in a caption: “Billy’s back in the shop? Let’s go!” The others, however, lewdly said: TurciosGer47635: “It is not even Halloween, though stop glazing”. Pretty harsh.
And then there’s the other sticky part: Does Billy look the part? Some players, such as DHAS013, called it “hot” (which is…some take), while others compared it to Edna Mode from The Incredibles. Yeah, that just happened.
The real drama is in all these players demanding the return of other skins. P0RRIDGE4BRA1NS screamed, “BRING BACK ASH” while xx_mozzi simply wanted Shadow Midas. And not to mention StarCupcaky throwing down a NewJeans GIF with “Waiting for Kpop skins…” Epic, can you hear me?
Oh, this big drama comes from Rocket League. MarshallMalone3 dropped some bombs in the replies. The dealers say that OG Battle Bus owners won’t be getting this vehicle for free-just some decals. Cue the outrage.
So, are we giving a verdict or not? Billy’s return is something to either grab or firmly pass on. One thing is sure: Ronnie’s will never cease to set the club ablaze, be it for all horror or Naruto skins. Always so unpredictable.
If you do grab Billy, be sure to use creator code Shiina. Now go forth and… play a game. Or whatever Billy says.
