Fornite players, have your wallet ready because tonight’s item shop update is going to be STACKED. Have you been one of those people waiting for the most wanted skins to return? Well, today is probably your lucky day. Be it the fresh 800 V-Buck skin, the one-year absence of Bun Bun, nostalgic OG Chapter 1 skins coming back, oh yeah, Iron Man is back into this shop after 100-plus days. No kidding.
Brand new skin under 800 V-Bucks up for grabs. No word as to what it’s named, but with that price, it’s probably going to be sleek, flashy, or just plain weird (hey, this is Fortnite, after all). Then there’s the little something called Bun Bun-the cutie-patootie rabbit outfit of which no one has been able to get their dirty digital little hands on for over a year. Missed it last time? Here’s your chance to jump on it before it hops off again.
That’s all. Now including some nostalgia-betraying classics changing up skins of Chapter 1. Not released yet, but those sobbing to Epic’s ears about wanting those few scarce early-game drips are probably trying their luck tonight. On the side of Marvel? Well, Iron Man’s back. Yep; it was over 100 days since his digital armor went off the store shelf. So, if you have been holding out, it is time to suit yourself in it.
That tweet from the official handle of Fortnite-so funny because everywhere you are told to go for those freshest hype updates-had a link to obtain the skins directly, smart move Epic. No one wants to lose time being stuck in queue.
That’s it-for-Fortnite’s item shop has always been one for gambling. Some skins look to have literally disappeared for at least two years (or he jokes).
And we should talk about that Chapter 1 throwback, eh? Closed in that environment in Fortnite back when there was a certain … ambiance. You shot, you built, but you didn’t have to bother with any mythics. For token OGs who enjoyed it from the start, the nostalgia will occur whenever those skins come back. Will they sell? Oh yes, nothing hits harder than flexing a skin that sends a message saying “I was here before the map flipped upside down.”
No comments on that tweet just yet, but you know it’s gonna divide the Fortnite community right down the middle: half will read “OMG FINALLY” while the other half reads “Where’s [insert ultra-rare skin here]??” That’s just how it goes.
But what say you? If your pockets are burning from too much in V-Bucks, check out the shop tonight because there is a new skin, some rare returns, and a little sweet something for the Marvel stans. Just don’t blame us when your wallet starts crying.
And hey, even if you miss it? Don’t fret. It’s like a revolving door in the shop at Fortnite-as what goes here now, tomorrow may come back into a month’s time or two years down the line-who really knows? That’s the fun (well, and the frustration) of it.
Now go get yourself those skins while they’re still here-now go.
