Epic Games has brought out a newly designed character in the Fortnite‘s Item Shop and the name given to this character is ‘Rain.’ Following the leaker ShiinaBR’s forecast, the character has now been made available at a cost of 800 V-Bucks. The character has immediately gotten the politicians of the game divided with heavy criticism and more than a few praising voices saying the new look is—definitely a bit of love and a fair amount of hate. The hot discussion around Item Shop still continues, but this time there is an extra incentive to it.

The newly introduced skin is a weird mix of admiration and repulsion. The leaker notes that it is available now for 800 V-Bucks, which is the maximum price for a complete outfit that usually attracts the gamers’ attention. The tweet included the direct link to the Fortnite Item Shop, so you can go check it out for yourself if you become curious. But those who replied to the tweet seem to indicate that they are not really ready to click the purchasing button that fast. The responses to the skin are quite different, with some saying ‘Berlin is a baddie’ and others asking Donald Mustard to come back and fix the mess. Yes, it is such a day.

As soon as the new skin is available, the fans start to shower their love. User CamRacerX shouted ‘BADDIEEE’ along with Farmboi who wrote, ‘She looks Feisty😎 I LOVE IT😎❤’. Another user R 🌧️😴 even declared that this skin had become their ‘icon skin!’ So there are certainly a few players who are convinced that Rain is a nice contribution to the collection. Especially at the mere price of 800 V-Bucks, which is rounded off as a more reasonable price compared to some of the 1,500 or 2,000 V-Buck packages. User DawidYes even said, ‘Want more skins for 800 vbucks’, which surely reflects the thought of almost all gamers. It is a budget-friendly option for some.

Meanwhile…., oh boy, the opposing camp is really vocal. A user, flare, was very straightforward: ‘She’s that bad ewww get her outta here.’ Ouch. Mitsos provided a more sophisticated critique arguing that it is ‘just a boring mid copy-paste skin from endless other skins that are almost identical.’ They argued that the collections of players already contain many adult versions of this and it isn’t even worth the trouble for just a change of colors. Henry_abyss did not restrain himself and yelled, ‘Stop creating trash skins and return to the iconic look.’ The players in this group clearly seem to be tired of similar skins and are demanding distinctive designs instead of what they consider slight variations of a concept.

Techboylg made a very radical analogy by saying that ‘this skin is simply the worst, we need Donald Mustard back to get rid of this liberal shit. That’s… a strong opinion. However, the main part of the critique is just about the design being boring or not creative. Besides that, there is also a joke going round about who will be the next one to wear it. User Ur Bank Account warned that this will be the skin of choice for every dude, which might indicate that it will attract the attention of the competitive players. And S.Skimatix made a jest,’This is gonna be a sweat skin’. meaning it could be appreciated among highly skilled gamers who are open to taking chances in this beautiful skin for their upcoming fight. However, JEYKZO disagrees with that and comments, ‘No, it’s a cool skin, but not sweaty.’ The argument is definitely on!

Apart from the skin conversation, other gamers took the chance to ask questions about items that were unrelated to the announcement. iDexLobbies was one such user who wanted to know from ShiinaBR if they knew when the ‘HUSH’ skin would come back. Then there was another user, iichungo, who wanted to know if MSCHF big red boots would be back. A funny little side thread was where a user asked if ‘winter fest carbin’ would be there for winterfest, and another user simply replied ‘Dec 11.’ Thus, the community is always eager for the next drop, even when they are in the middle of a dispute over the current one.

There was also a funny little antagonism regarding budget-friendliness. chieffkiethh made a huge savings claim saying, ‘pass cus we ALL saving for carti’ referring to an anticipated collaboration with rapper Playboi Carti, which he described as an ‘undeniably high-budget’ venture. KeDaGiWORLD responded with a disgust emoji and a short confirmation that “No, we are not saving.” Thus, even the strategy around spending V-Bucks is a matter of debate. And with great exaggeration, Yahya20421561. This popular battle royale game is available on platforms like PlayStation and Xbox.
