It dropped out of nowhere-a FREE skin and a really cool loading screen for the players to grab. No convoluted questlines, no hidden objectives; just sign in and grind a tad. Epic Games just keeps pouring down the treats, like a kid at a candy store, and the community is buzzing (even if the replies section is oddly quiet for once).
First, loading screen. Simple login, and that’s where the prize ends: no elimination, no rooftop dancing, just start the game and bam, you have it. Easy clap.
Naw, the epic prize is the skin, which also contains the backbling and the matching pickaxe. But there’s a catch: You’ve got to hit that 50-plateau by June 7. It’s a tough grind but doable if you’ve been with it all season. For the casuals? Going to have to crank up the XP bonuses or join your buddies for the sweet match bonuses.
Weirdly, there’s no response yet to that tweet, since normally when signs like this pop out, the fans seem to have a rush to the announcement by hyping it much (or whining about it). Perhaps everyone is too busy grinding those levels to type anything. Or maybe-just maybe-Epic finally did something that nobody can hate on.
So what’s the mood? It’s a no-brainer if you have been at all attached to Fortnite at the moment. Free cosmetics are free cosmetics-this set looks clean. There has been no news on whether this skin will remain exclusive or return at a later date, so you’d better grab it now unless you want to take the chance of being hit with that FOMO later.
For the hardcore grinding levels fans out there, here’s a pro tip: focus on weekly challenges and creative mode XP maps (shhh, don’t tell Epic) and daily milestones, stack those, and 50 levels won’t feel like a slog. Probably.
Epic’s drops for players have been dead lately, and this seems to be another W. No crazy event features, no collaterals-play the game-and all are rewarded. To be fresh, honestly. Now if they would just fix the damn servers for peak times, but hey, there’s some free stuff that takes the edge off.
Bell sounded: log in = free loading screen. Grind to 50 = free skin + accessories. Deadline = June 7. Get it. Or don’t; suffer the consequences later when someone else flaunts the set without you. Your call.
Seriously, though, why are there no replies? Did Twitter glitch? Did Fortnite break the Internet again? The mystery deepens…
