Fortnite is currently drowning its dying souls under a new lead wave of skins and accessories newly introduced. With this update, WWE legends Cody Rhodes and The Undertaker now join battle royale with the newly introduced Bunny skin and the return of much-loved Vision and Scythe pickaxes. Oh, and with a traversal emote tagging along, why not?
And that’s what says the Tweet of Fortnite: NEW SKINS 3X OUT NOW + MORE! Not really built-up excitement, no hype here, just real talk over the dead body of that image showing WWE beauty: Cody Rhodes ready to rumble, with The Undertaker bringing that haunting undead flow into the island. Meanwhile, the Bunny skin radiates major half-cute-half-chaotic vibes, which basically sums up the whole Fortnite aesthetic.
But come on! Vision and Scythe pickaxes have returned. Well, they’ve been gone a while, so this return just calls for some high applause. Players who missed them the first time round now have another opportunity to get them, and you know the locker loadouts will be filled with these real quick.
Now, Larry, I mean, the skins are always cool, but WWE crossover? Now we’re talking. Cody Rhodes is arguably one of the hottest topics in wrestling right now, and The Undertaker is… well, he’s still The Undertaker. A bonafide legend. Putting these two in Fortnite is a huge move, especially with WrestleMania looming. It’s almost like Epic Games knew when to strike.
As for the Bunny skin-nothing to see, no backstory or lore. Just a bunny waltzing about with a shotgun. Classic Fortnite. The traversal emote, looking like some cute hop-skips-bounces, is the cherry on top. Because what’s a skin without a ridiculous way to traverse?
One thing is sure-though Epic rushed onto the collabs: WWE stars, whatever anime crossovers are into, and also the random-but-awesome skins they are cooking up next: they will keep the unpredictable item shop. And players? Time after time, they will swallow it all.
Shop, now you have some burning V-Bucks. You never know when again these skins will be gone or what crazy drop might come next in line for you.
And hey, if your WWE fan mails are overflowing and you have been thinking about trying out Fortnite, well, this has been the chance. Just don’t come crying to us when you end up getting addicted.
There may not still be replies to the tweet, but one hour from now? The Fortnite community is quick, and watch for all the reactions torn into half: INSTA-COP or where’s my favorite skin though? That’s the way it goes.
Anyway, back to the grind. The pickaxes won’t unlock themselves. The pickaxes won’t unlock themselves. The pickaxes won’t unlock themselves.
