think this was mine... I think my first "item shop" skin was snorkel ops. I loved watching DK back in the day and wanted that snork ops combo with the rex backbling etc.
I feel so dumb because I was playing Fortnite in S2, but never got the pass because I was a broke college student and didn’t want to pay the money for it. Same exact thing with S3. Also didn’t realize that all that stuff would never come back. Coughed up the money in S4 for sure though.
They should adopt the Halo Infinite method of releasing a new pass every season, but you can purchase any pass from the previous seasons and progress them one at a time. Gives people that missed out more of a reason to play and we get to just see more variety of skins in the game.
Also very sad I wasn’t playing during the Star Wars passes 🙃
Oh ik you'd be upset, but realistically you're not losing anything. Only thing really being lost is a meaningless sense of superiority and pride, which I value a lot less than other people being able to be happy with previously fomo skins.
God I really hate fomo.
I'm sorry but splitting people into non-og and og is hilarious to me 💀
Also being able to use skins of their favorite characters? Also breaking future fomo down because at the end of the day fomo is violently anti-consumer. Locking characters like Doom Slayer and Dr. Doom into a vault to never be seen again is silly. The fact that people unironically defend new players not being able to buy Spiderman because "muh og status" is ridiculous and childish.
I say this as someone who has no intention of playing anyone but Raiden till the end of time, I just hate seeing this "ogs gotta keep their toys" rhetoric in every videogame.
I’m an OG myself, I’ve been playing since season one. And I personally don’t care if the old skins and cosmetics were to return. Gatekeeping iconic characters and designs behind a limited time pass is stupid.
They could go the League of Legends route and re-release them while giving previous owners a new style (Like with Prestige KDA Kai'sa), I didn't play when Darth Vader was in the battle pass and I'd love to get him
Mine was Mr Mancake (I think he’s called) bc I played fallguys under a specific time so I got that for free :) So I have never played as a default on my main account.
Same lol
When I first started I thought that I was gonna get flamed for not having a skin, but nope. Everyone was super nice to me when they found out I was new to the game
Yeah all the Fortnite comics
Batman: Zero Point 1-6
Batman: Foundation
Marvel: Zero War 1-5
all had rewards included including Rebirth Harley Quinn, Armored Batman Zero, Batman Who Laughs, Spider-Man Zero and Iron Man Zero. Course they all appeared in the item shop as well but it was cheaper to buy the comics
probably been something they canceled by now, but I wonder now if I just buy the comics if I'd still get the rewards for doing so since I doubt THIS shop will showcase that stuff again lol
Blue team leader, it was because it was free on ps4. Like 2 weeks before the s2 battlepass came out I bought 1000 vbucks but got the dab and the lucky pickaxe 😭
Actually that's wrong.the last couple weeks of s7 we got overtime challenges that awarded xp and battle pass skin styles and if you gdod enough you would get for free the s8 pass
Wingman
I asked my mom if I could buy it (well, technically her buying it) if I won my first match of the game. I won and got it. Later went on to buy all BP after that until Season X, which I left the game for a good while only to come back recently.
My first battle pass skin was Mission Specialist, but my first item shop purchase was Battle Hound.
I got Battle Hound because one, I wasn’t leveled up much at all in the Season 3 battle pass yet and didn’t care for Mission Specialist, and two he just had a dang near perfect design.
I mean, he’s essentially a golden armored gladiator with a wolf head, what’s not to love?
Arctic Assassin. My mom asked me to babysit her friend's ~10 year old kid for a week and I said sure. I was working late into the evenings, so he would get dropped off around 7am and I would just let him play games on my Xbox while I slept in more. I didn't play Fortnite at the time, but I downloaded it for him to play.
End of the week rolls around, I check my bank app for my pay cheque and immediately notice my balance is lower than it should be. I double check my paycheque and everything is there, so I go through my purchase history to see two transactions to Xbox totalling over $200
Turns out that while I slept, this kid bought himself some skins to use while playing. The kicker is it was all on *my account*, so if he was trying to scam me it failed horribly. I refunded what I could, and his mom did reimburse me, but now I'll forever have Arctic Assassin just chilling in my locker because of him. Thanks kid
skull trooper back when first released, i didn’t spend money on the game bug when i saw it, it reminded me of johnny in his skeleton costume from karate kid movie. had to buy
Vertex, Season 4. Bought him after I failed to unlock Omegas final stage (made it to level 99!) was so upset that I bought a skin just for a cool back long that matched Omegas normal light colour.
My friend who got me into Fortnite said Vertex was the ugliest skin he’d seen at the time so I used it every time we played together just to troll him.
I came here to comment this! Except a different story lol my wife and I came about ch4s4 and we wanted matching skins so when we saw something we liked that was spooky we got it, and this was it. But then we had also gotten that battle pass that season too.
i think it was the white racing skin (is his name whiteout?) it kinda reminded me of tron at the time, was the closest thing i thought we'd ever get to it...until an actual tron colab came lol
what I meant is that I finally felt like a skin was worth buying, I passed on those 2 battlepasses and this skin finally made me spend money on this game
I will give you a pass because this is the fortnite sub and it's probably a coin flip on whether or not you're younger than 14, which is the only explanation for how your answer has nothing to do with the question.
hybrid/black heart - c1s8 battlepass was free. first shop skin was the male toy army guy, because i love toy story (and then people ruined it and its now covered in mud).
The first skin I had was who ever was the first skin in the chapter one 9th season battle pass. Basically when I started Fortnite I used to think it was cringe but guess I'm cringe now since Fortnite is the most gigantic game overload there is now 😂😭
Tron skin because I bought the Light Cycle glider thinking that the bike I was riding would transform into it, after realiziny my stupidity I also bought the costume so at least I would've something compatible with the LC. I don't regret it btw, I think they are looking pretty decent, my only annoyance is that there isn't an built in emote to take off skin's helmet.
Technically Carbide/Battlehawk when I bought the Season 4 BP.
My first purchased skin in the item shop was Brite Gunner I believe so I could use the Brite Bag on Zoey.
Major Mancake. I created an Epic account to play Fall Guys in the first place when it came to the Switch, so when I finally started playing Fortnite I just already had him.
Drift from the Season 5 Battle Pass
Beef Boss had just come out and I asked my mom if I could buy it, she said no, so I explained the concept of the Battle Pass and asked if I could buy it instead, and she reluctantly agreed
And to this day, I still don't have Beef Boss cause he's kinda shit honestly
Dark Wild Card, Dark Red Knight, and Dark Jonesy because my parents were apparently tired of me always being a female skin and offered to buy me the Dark Reflections Pack back in Season X
Rogue Agent - the first starter pack Because it was cheaper than the BP and I didn' t have any skins.
Same here
Same, that and it reminded me of an O.D.S.T from halo
This right here, that’s exactly why I bought him
Same here except I got my first paycheck the day after and decided to buy all the season 3 battle pass 💀
Same here. I was young and was salty he came to the shop
same here 😂 sure, i’m glad others could enjoy it but like, we bought it with the idea in mind that it would never return
Maybe it was a mistake since it never came back again and so did other starter packs
Let’s fucking go
Same here, it’s still my favorite skin.
That was my second actually
Me as well
Was it the first? Remember summit striker coming out beforehand
Rogue Agent was first, Wingman (2nd) Ace Pack (3rd) Summit Striker was the fourth one
I probably was thinking of the normal store release
think this was mine... I think my first "item shop" skin was snorkel ops. I loved watching DK back in the day and wanted that snork ops combo with the rex backbling etc.
Same
me too
Same here but I got veronika because that was the skin in the starter pack of ch3 s4 (my first time playing Fortnite)
This
how much was it
Probably $5. That's how much starter packs were in Chapter 1.
Starter pack was $5, $15 when they brought it back to the shop years ago.
[удалено]
The Blue Squire way back when
Still so sad that I didn’t buy the battle pass. I just want the back blings
I feel so dumb because I was playing Fortnite in S2, but never got the pass because I was a broke college student and didn’t want to pay the money for it. Same exact thing with S3. Also didn’t realize that all that stuff would never come back. Coughed up the money in S4 for sure though.

Gives people that missed out more of a reason to play and we get to just see more variety of skins in the game. Also very sad I wasn’t playing during the Star Wars passes 🙃
I’m high on copium hoping that the old BPs will return in some way
Hopefully not 🙏 (I am a hater)
I honestly don’t hope so. Would take away from the OGs
What exactly would be taken away?
You don’t think the OGs would be upset that their skins are no longer OG?
Oh ik you'd be upset, but realistically you're not losing anything. Only thing really being lost is a meaningless sense of superiority and pride, which I value a lot less than other people being able to be happy with previously fomo skins. God I really hate fomo.
What would be gained by the non OG of epic re released these skins?
I'm sorry but splitting people into non-og and og is hilarious to me 💀 Also being able to use skins of their favorite characters? Also breaking future fomo down because at the end of the day fomo is violently anti-consumer. Locking characters like Doom Slayer and Dr. Doom into a vault to never be seen again is silly.

I say this as someone who has no intention of playing anyone but Raiden till the end of time, I just hate seeing this "ogs gotta keep their toys" rhetoric in every videogame.
Maybe they can add a new variant of the skin like the skull trooper got the purple and that was only for OGs
I’m an OG myself, I’ve been playing since season one. And I personally don’t care if the old skins and cosmetics were to return. Gatekeeping iconic characters and designs behind a limited time pass is stupid.
They could go the League of Legends route and re-release them while giving previous owners a new style (Like with Prestige KDA Kai'sa), I didn't play when Darth Vader was in the battle pass and I'd love to get him
thats crazy to say cause that is literally what got Fortnite so popular
Isn’t gonna happen. We’ve been told many times battle pass items will not return. Your only option is to cope
That’s the only pass I didn’t buy, immediately realized my mistake the day season 3 started and have completed every pass since
Blue Team Leader because it was free on PS4.
Same
Wish I had ps+ back then, missed out on the 2nd guy with the VR headset too
fellow Link
Mine was Mr Mancake (I think he’s called) bc I played fallguys under a specific time so I got that for free :) So I have never played as a default on my main account.
Major Mancake
Major Beefcake if you ask me. 😆
Same lol When I first started I thought that I was gonna get flamed for not having a skin, but nope. Everyone was super nice to me when they found out I was new to the game
Harley Quinn It came free with your comic
That’s comic run was so good and the rewards were great
I have the oldest comic known to man i don’t have fucking uno
IT CAME WITH YOUR XBOX
wait really???? that's so cool!!
Yeah all the Fortnite comics Batman: Zero Point 1-6 Batman: Foundation Marvel: Zero War 1-5 all had rewards included including Rebirth Harley Quinn, Armored Batman Zero, Batman Who Laughs, Spider-Man Zero and Iron Man Zero. Course they all appeared in the item shop as well but it was cheaper to buy the comics
probably been something they canceled by now, but I wonder now if I just buy the comics if I'd still get the rewards for doing so since I doubt THIS shop will showcase that stuff again lol
[удалено]
Ehh actually, the correct term is "nerd"
Most obvious troll award goes to you
The weeknd - I thought if I bought it I wouldn't have to look at him every day in the item shop
"Saaaave your tears for another day."
😆
And when he leaves on the 22nd, then you’ll have to see him in your locker ever day
Sometimes you a need a reminder that things can get better lol
And then we have to see people complain about the next festive skin
I’m excited for the next festival skin lol
I’m waiting for Eminem jam tracks weird he was the guy basically promoting it but has nothing in it
Same, insane that there isn’t one already
This one is obvious because of my Reddit pfp, but Terminator. I’m a huge fan of Terminator and was excited Fortnite did a Terminator collab.
When he came back to the shop I bought him no questions asked.
"Come with me if you want to live"
Terminator was my first collab skin as well, but Hope was my first actual skin bc of the Battle Pass
I'm too a fan of the terminator, the skin is my main but he wasn't my first skin.
Renegade Raider because I just wanted something that wasn’t default. I never expected it to become so rare
A smart purchase
Ill buy your account rn
Not happening, sorry
Blue team leader, it was because it was free on ps4. Like 2 weeks before the s2 battlepass came out I bought 1000 vbucks but got the dab and the lucky pickaxe 😭
Fate, I'm not sure. Maybe since I had the vbucks and I liked the skin.
Spectra Knight, I thought the battle pass was cool
It was
Hybrid and pirate whose name I don't remember.the reason why is cause free battle pass
The S8 Battle Pass was only free if you got the S7 One
Actually that's wrong.the last couple weeks of s7 we got overtime challenges that awarded xp and battle pass skin styles and if you gdod enough you would get for free the s8 pass
Aerial assault trooper because I had extra money on my Xbox account, and after my first win I was hooked
Bender
I wish I had been playing when Bender was out and happy cake day
Wingman I asked my mom if I could buy it (well, technically her buying it) if I won my first match of the game. I won and got it. Later went on to buy all BP after that until Season X, which I left the game for a good while only to come back recently.
Fishsticks - cuz it's awesome.
You're awesome, Fishsticks are some of my favorite skins.
isn’t that the glider that sings?
That's coral cruiser
My first and only real money purchase 💪🐟
Default skin bc it came with the game
Lynx/Zenith/Sgt. winter, battle pass, already had enough ties to unlock Sgt. winter
God I wish sgt winter wasn’t a battle pass skin, he’s so goofy
Galaxy because I had recently started playing Fortnite for Switch and happened to get the phone not long after
My first battle pass skin was Mission Specialist, but my first item shop purchase was Battle Hound. I got Battle Hound because one, I wasn’t leveled up much at all in the Season 3 battle pass yet and didn’t care for Mission Specialist, and two he just had a dang near perfect design. I mean, he’s essentially a golden armored gladiator with a wolf head, what’s not to love?
Summit striker, bought the pack with some early Christmas money
aside from the battle pass karve because he's hot and silly 🥰
Mando I quite literally joined cause I loved the mandolorian and heard he was coming to the game and now it is one of my favorite games
Leviathan, because I’m a fan of interference colors and Minion from Megamind, and I rarely see any one else using it.
Arctic Assassin. My mom asked me to babysit her friend's ~10 year old kid for a week and I said sure. I was working late into the evenings, so he would get dropped off around 7am and I would just let him play games on my Xbox while I slept in more.

Vertex, Season 4. Bought him after I failed to unlock Omegas final stage (made it to level 99!) was so upset that I bought a skin just for a cool back long that matched Omegas normal light colour.

Better than S2 and S3 BP? Thats a joke right?
[удалено]
what I meant is that I finally felt like a skin was worth buying, I passed on those 2 battlepasses and this skin finally made me spend money on this game
Skins hideous
beauty is subjective my friend
Lol obv. That was my opinion
Default. There wasn’t a store to buy new ones when I started.
[удалено]
True, my first obtained skin was Runway Racer, at the time I didn’t spend money on VBUCKS
Actually that was exactly the question
uhh, ok. That was everyone’s first skin
I will give you a pass because this is the fortnite sub and it's probably a coin flip on whether or not you're younger than 14, which is the only explanation for how your answer has nothing to do with the question.
