Is Fortnite in a skin crisis? Players see poor prospects for 2022

In Fortnite, skins are the most important thing in the entire Battle Royal. Many players shine and clash with old, rare and original skins. Now the community sees poor prospects for 2022 as far as the skins variations are concerned. We’ll show you more about it.

What is the problem? on reddit the community reveals its displeasure with the ongoing reskin wave. Many new skin packs or offers from the item shop are reskins. This is an original and popular outfit that is colored differently and sold as new.

The current situation does not give the players a good idea. The Christmas event used to offer many cool and new outfit options that could be bought in the item shop. In 2021, however, the offer looks overwhelming, although Epic had even taken precautions against the problem with two skins.

Fortnite is releasing Reskins instead of the Contest Skins

Epic Games held a concept contest from June 12th to July 15th. There, fans of the shooter had the opportunity to reveal their creativity in the form of self-designed skins. Epic also offered prize money of $ 2,500 and implementation into the game for the winter event 2021.

Since the winter event has now been published and leakers have revealed all the new skins in the item shop and in the gifts, one notices that there is no trace of the community ideas. The concepts do not appear in the codes or as leaked content.

However, many reskins can be found. As a package offer in the Item Shop, but also in the data for the two free Winterfest outfits.

Why Epic decided to publish copies rather than the creative and new options from the community is unclear. The fact is, however, that players have had enough of it and can no longer see these copies.

What do the players say about it? The community can no longer stand such copies. Many think they understand Epic’s intention behind this.

There are newcomers who have seen various models in skin lists that are interesting but cannot be earned because they are locked behind old Battle Passes.

They think Epic would like to give new fans the chance to dress up their favorite looks in a modified form. Still, that’s no excuse to let original and creative skins go to waste. This is what a reddit user thinks:

The only ones this bundle is worthwhile for are people who didn’t get the original Midas or were disappointed that Shadow Midas didn’t have the touch effect.

But here’s the truth: as long as there is demand for a skin, you can expect as many reskins to be made for it as possible. Because Epic loves $$$. It is the consequence of the “FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)” business model. Therefore, I am neutral towards Reskins, as this is an indirect consequence of this stupidly constructed system.

You can tell that the patience of the players is slowly but surely running out. Alternatively, many community designs could be used. Many ambitious and creative minds are active in the community and post concepts of their ideas in forums on a daily basis. There are seldom or no reactions to this.
