Many Fortnite players are feeling frustrated over issues they have encountered with the game’s item store, particularly after the introduction of new cosmetic options with Lego integration and the Fortnite Festival.
The online community has been abuzz with complaints from players like Approporiate-Yam-6230, who are unhappy with how Epic Games is managing item restocking. Some players have noticed that when bundles are re-released, they are missing essential components from their original release.
One player expresses disappointment, saying, “I was excited to get the Airphoria collection, but when it came back, the entire second bundle was missing.”
Another player, Numerous_Signal_6106, speculates that the collaboration with Lego Fortnite may be causing certain items to disappear. They point out that some emotes do not have a Lego version and mention issues with special skins like the Icon series, Jack Skellington, Marvel, and more.
The feeling that the item store is getting worse is echoed by JohnathanStryker, who remarks, “The item shop situation is getting really frustrating. The rotation is not exciting, items are frequently bundled together, and sets are fragmented, leading to many disappointments.”
Another user, 2spooky4h, criticizes the failure to restock complete sets, listing examples like items from the Futurama series, the original Black Widow’s accessory, John Wick’s companion Sophia, Jack Skellington’s emotes and bundles, and the missing Airphoria equipment.
With the addition of Lego Fortnite, Fortnite Festival, and Rocket Racing, Fortnite’s item shop has become more cluttered, intensifying the dissatisfaction among players.
While Epic Games unveils updates like Lego Fortnite with fishing and kicks off the second season of Fortnite Festival featuring Lady Gaga, community unrest is likely to continue. Meanwhile, fans who are dedicated to the core game are anticipating the start of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. For players looking to level up quickly, recommendations are available for efficient leveling in Fortnite.
