All you players of Fortnite, flex those V-bucks, for they are here with an update that’s just hit the Item Shop on April 21, 2025. The usual drop via official Fortnite Twitter feed – heads up, with the link to the web store, and auto-applied SAC codes. But what is it that this shop has at this time anyway? What is all this frenzy among players over those SAC codes? Let’s break that down.
It is kind of dry, from any means; for it is a date that has the link and mentions a few shout-out SAC codes (firemonkey and W1q credits by the way). No elite tease or ambiguous hint. Just the traditional Drumroll as usual for Epic Games’ cash-printing machine. But hey, that’s how things usually work. The question really refers to what’s new in terms of content, though.
Oh, we have also left speculative-nothing of the tweet really more or less looks in the clue department. So maybe a new collaboration skin? Those are hit and miss sometimes between animes and fast food mascots. Or maybe it’s an old nostalgia kick-back because nothing gets players spending like nostalgia. Either way, we’ll be seeing the usual tide of hype in the replies through that absence of details.
Speaking of replies….oh yeah, there weren’t any. This tweet is so unique as to fly above the usual clamor about refund requests from fans wanting the old skins, or roasting Epic for yet another reskin. Perhaps everyone is busy playing for reals? Or maybe the algorithm was nice this time. Either way, oddly enough, peaceful.
Now, those SAC codes… You’re not too into the economy of Fortnite, eh? Well, SAC means Support-a-Creator. This is when you throw a few cents at your favorite streamer or artist every time you make an in-game purchase. This tweet calls out FireMonkey (pretty big in leaks and updates) and W1q (whoever that is; Google hasn’t helped us). It’s not much, but hey, it’s more bucks for them trying to gain a livelihood off Fortnite content.
So what’s the upshot? Another day, another item shop update. Ground-shaking isn’t anything late to see, but that’s Fortnite: as clockwork consistent. Whether you’re Color coordinated… shoveling some money to show for a new skin or just looking over the site, here it goes live today. Just don’t forget to use those SAC codes if you’re feeling too generous.
And if you were hoping to find the drama in the replies… good luck next time. All business this one.
