Recently, the big news came out and it has indeed been crazy. If you got the latest DWTD game from the Epic Game Store, then the cosmetics from the Fortnite collaboration would be right there for you to use without waiting at all and no strange delays. It’s just an outright access granted. This is from the ever reliable iFireMonkey who leaked this news and brought the Fortnite community into a serious uproar.
For those unfamiliar, DWTD is perhaps the game ‘Dead by Twilight’ or something like that? No, that’s wrong. I suspect the title might be ‘Defend with Tower Defense’? Quite a lengthy name but easy to understand the offer. You pay for the game at Epic’s store and then you get a Fortnite locker with bonus gear. A collaboration and those are always hype. Players have frequently inquired when these cosmetics would be available, and the answer is… right now. One of the users, NoOneAtall, was astonished and exclaimed: “Woah no st for real I thought we’d have to wait until next week.” The amazement was real.
Additionally, the main reason is that the game is regarded as very inexpensive at the Epic store. We are basically talking of just a couple of dollars. In fact, some players are even inventing the ways of getting it for almost nothing. User UnhingedFN commented, “Thanks I used your code. Got it for free for having epic rewards. Thanks 👍”. So if you have some Epic coupons or reward points that are just lying there, you may be able to get this whole thing at no cost to you. That’s a really good arrangement for some exclusive digital swag.
Nevertheless, there always seems to be a bit of confusion with new gaming things. Players quickly responded with, “Where is the option to buy it on epic games? I can’t find it” and then there was techn9cian1. He finally found it but that initial confusion is so relatable. Another player, JMxGA, was uncertain whether the cosmetics were only available on mobile, which perhaps indicates that the instructions were not very clear for everyone. It’s that classic gaming moment of “wait, how does this work again?”
The value proposition is currently a hot topic. User Adri Nine🦊✨ mentioned that “Buying the game is cheaper” most likely than buying the same amount of V-Bucks for items at the Fortnite shop. This led to a mini-debate in the comments about the cost: being a Fortnite: Save the World founder or just buying this cheaper game for the cosmetics. Virtual economies are a matter of great passion, man. It’s a serous business.
As for the cosmetics? From the included picture, they do seem to be quite nice. User Ayub made a humorous remark, saying “They used strings as the blood lol 😭😭😭😭”. Those little developer shortcuts that are often only detected upon very close observation do have their charm, honestly.
How long the offer will be active is the question that many people are asking. User xSan ᱬ🔴 put it straight, “Do we know how long this offer will last?? Or will it be like that forever??” That’s the million-dollar question. Sometimes these promotions are limited to a certain period of time, so there is that bit of FOMO creeping in. You wouldn’t want to miss out just because you took too long only to find out later that the deal has vanished.
There were the usual technical glitches, too. Ur Bank Account 💰💸 wondered if anyone else was having PSN connection problems, which is just a common thing in the life of an online gamer. And SnoopCreature06 posted “I can’t see it,” which is so relatable. Occasionally, the game just doesn’t want you to play with it.
All in all, this is quite a smart move. The sale of the DWTD game on the Epic Store is made easier while at the same time the Fortnite players are provided with a new reason to log in and check their locker. It is a win-win for both parties in the collaboration. The response has been largely favorable with players being excited to get the new items without having to spend much. So if you are a Fortnite player and you see a game priced at a few bucks that will also give you some free cosmetics, then it is most likely an obvious choice. Just go to the Epic Games Store, search for DWTD, and find out the reason for all the buzz. A new skin is waiting for you.
