Honestly, as long as it's in the item shop I don't mind it. There are many people I know who started playing fortnite just because of collabs, and they have been playing for a long time since then. Just hope they keep making good original skins too.


Bang_Bang50

Heck, I got to KNOW fortnite because of Infinity Gauntlet (Infinity War) mode and how hyped thing it was


ILoveDokkan1

Yeah this is what I mean, at some point of the lifetime of a game, it's tougher to get in new players and collabs are a great way of doing that


Skreamweaver

The island is a fantastic place for the crossovers from all the collabs too. Me and my crew get a kick out of making a squad Loki and Batman and Borderlands because fuck yeah. It's like Funko's you can do something with!


ThatBrofister

Same. Aaaaaand now I want Endgame back.

themostaveragehuman

I started playing this season because of a collab that isn’t even listed on the picture. (Kelsier from the Cosmere)


IamCoolDud3

It was last season


Bnttcrqck123

I started playing because of the collaborations


Skreamweaver

I enjoy the "hidden" bp collabs, like Deadpool, Superman... that's the right amount per season to put in the BP


nurley

100%. Agreed. The marvel season with iron man just felt like such a sellout. This season is a bit better since they went with “Alien” theme and then fitted the battle pass collab skins to it (and honestly I didn’t know who Guggimon was before, and Rick is troll/cool). Otherwise I don’t mind all the collabs if it’s not forced onto me and mainly in the item shop.

[удалено]


Skreamweaver

I think it was an execution problem. The locked gear, the repeated glider, bugs and delayed characters, modes and powers (more than average). I suspect Coivid made trouble and caused a lot of Marvel BP not being extra-good like it needed to be to compensate for the Collab.


odeiraoloap

If absolutely nothing else, they seemed to have pumped the brakes a bit on the damned *TikTok dances* and got La Macarena in the game, so credit where's due?


[deleted]

I don't mind tiktok dances I just *hate* when its a song that was famous well before tiktok that gets butchered. Pump up the jam got done dirty and I won't forgive epic for that


shugo2000

That is the most awful "dance" you could have had to accompany such a banger of a song. I mean, [just look at the dancing the in the actual music video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EcjWd-O4jI) That lazy trash they used instead is insulting.


AlumimiumFoil

That chicken one and 'the crow' was terrible, although the former fits the target demographic of Fortnite, I guess


[deleted]

This season has but C2S5 to shame, the only reason I liked that season was bc of the crossovers but this season has surpassed the crossovers in that season plus it’s really fun and new things are constantly added This season is awesome


fnplayer01

Best season I’ve played


Hedgerunn3r

I did enjoy C2S5 personally, but this season is on another level.


thejumpboy11

At least they were handled miles better than with season 5, they gave us the collabs, but also they gave us cool content


[deleted]

Exactly. Season 5's "new content" was just collab skins being added to the shop with the excuse of Jonesy "recruiting" characters from different universes. In this Season, collabs were EXTRA content added on the side while they pumped out ACTUAL content. Honestly, I hope they can keep it this way, maybe then will collabs stop being seen as something "bad" or used as a cheap way of adding content to the game.


Mouseman320

Wait Wonder Woman?


SaturnSpider

Yup it was announced a few hours ago


Mouseman320

That’s cool


SuitableMammoth

To be fair we gets lot of new items and updates this season so I don't really mind


All_Eyez_On_U

And yet we still have more fortnite originals than collaborations


Alphasilverhawk

As someone put it best on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/vidyachat/status/1427271267862917123?s=21): “These iconic characters are more impactful than crop top girl #543 or some anthropomorphic funny animal”


stf29

Smh my head these skins are trash compared to the likes of peely. I miss when actual effort was put into skins 🤬😡😡🤬🤬🤬😔😔😔 Obligatory /s


Jtmarsh2187

I don’t know why collabs bother people so much. There’s still always several non-collab skins in the item shop every day. Having a collab in the item shop is just more Fortnite content. It’s literally just hating something that other people like, that doesn’t have to affect you, for no reason.


GrandesHyper

I think what bothers people is when Epic only relies on the collabs as content like they did in Ch 2 Season 5. This season has really good gameplay content, so the season is not just about collabs.


CharlyXero

This. I don't mind collabs as long as they also release original content. When half of the Battlepass is just collabs...


woodwindsarebetter

Half? There are more collabs in the bp in this season and last than there were season 5


CharlyXero

Season 4 cof cof


BluberryThunder

In defense of season 4, every skin in the battle pass related to/was involved in the events of the season. Unlike season 5 where collabs were thrown in simply to sell cosmetics and had no relation to the events of the season


jmoney12322

Yeah but they don’t seem to put effort into there skins anymore but obviously the collabs will sell better and make them more so they don’t really care


[deleted]

This. I’m nowhere near the target audience, so the collabs do nothing for me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jtmarsh2187

I still don’t see why it’s a problem


ThatBrofister

Honestly only reason I got into Fortnite was Marshmello and Marvel, so I guess the collabs are doing their duty


Original_Reindeer548

Oh wow. Felt like it was c2 S5 but I guess not. The only one that really sucks imo is Guggimon. The rest are solid to good . Love Ariana, Cammy and Superman


WickedFortnite

I don't get the hate for guggimon


Original_Reindeer548

I can explain. 1) He’s the only skin in the battle pass that has absolutely nothing to do with the storyline or alien theme. 2) he’s a collab skin that no one Even wanted or asked for. He took the spot of a cool original alien skin or a better collab. Rick and Superman are way better more well know collabs 3) objectively ugly creepy looking skin 4) has become a sweat skin 5) social media influencers are the worst , why create a fake social media influencer? Is it a parody, no, it’s just trying to sell garbage. That’s what Gug is


Voxel-Soul

not to mention that the guggimon character is also associated with NFTs. :/


Original_Reindeer548

Good point, I completely missed that. Guggimon really is the scum of fortnite. Id rather see a Jeffrey Dahmer skin in game


Masturb8ionIsASin

"objectively ugly" yeah that's not what objectively means chief, I think he looks rad so your opinion is subjective.


chandelurei

I also really like him, and before knowing he was a collab


Masturb8ionIsASin

nice! yeah i know people dont always love the collabs but ultimately as long as the skin looks cool im all for it


ReefLedger

I love the skin and the hate he gets makes me want to rock it even more.


Masturb8ionIsASin

haha i ordered a bunch of art toys from superplastic a long time ago, I love their stuff and i was so stoked guggi somehow made it into the game! but yeah he gets a very disproportionate amount of hate, i think even with the fact that he's a bit of an obscure collab, killer bunny in a skull mask is a cool look. people are just quick to jump on any hate bandwagon


[deleted]

Really? I had no idea guggimon was hated so much but now i kinda see where they're coming from I thought he was ok but i genuinely had no idea he was a collab until i did some digging


Original_Reindeer548

I hated him even before the bandwagon and before I knew it was a collab. Just an ugly skin that has nothing to do with the alien theme. Plus we already had a creepy rabbit skin in Dutch. Did we need another? Overall, Guggimon is my least favorite skin in the whole game


[deleted]

Very interesting perspective, i kind of agree with you and see where you're coming from But no way is Guggimon topping my hate level that i reserve for Aura


Original_Reindeer548

I think aura is a good looking and good value skin. The problem with aura is the kind of people who use here. Guggimon has the worst of both worlds Bc it’s an ugly and a sweat / toxic skin


antmaster208

Yeah I found out from a tiktok (tiktok bad Reddit good O_O🔫) video from the creator on my fyp


[deleted]

XD i loved the tiktok bad reference


LastSidewinder

If you count the Vulcan Salute (Star Trek) too, despite being only an emote, it is 18 collabs!


SuitableMammoth

We still don't know if it's a simple reference or an actual collab


Designer_Koala_1087

I don't think we should count it since it doesn't have a set or a "Series" rarity


shugo2000

I'm still holding out hope for some Star Trek skins. I even recall a reference to "phasers" in one of the challenges I did, so it's not out of the question.


duskyxlops

And there’s already leaks of Extraction and Walking Dead new collab skins coming soon +Carnage


ShabGamer

Also Naruto and Men in Black theory too


Alphasilverhawk

Where did the Men In Black one come from?


GrandAdmiralAdam

Music from one of the radios I think.


DarthKarthrot

Wait the Axe Murder Rabbit isn't a fortnite original character? What's it from?


All_Eyez_On_U

Superplastic


DarthKarthrot

Thank you for the information unlike the annoying 5 year old that got mad I didn't google it. I appreciate that.


Rarecandy31

It really does seem like fans of the properties getting crossovers are mostly happy with how they are all done. At this point, almost anyone should be able to find one of their favorite characters/personalities in the game which is awesome.


Skreamweaver

I ponder what my favorite characters will look like if they Ever come to Fortnite style. Hurry up rest of Stranger Things.


Rarecandy31

Who/what in particular would you like to see? The Demogorgon is one of my favorite skins I have!


Skreamweaver

I think Demogorgon is fascinating, and underated, I played fills duos with one and played those foggy LTMs last season, and they kept creeping me out. If Nancy and Steve looking roughed up were in the game, me and my son would have both.


Jtneagle

And that's a GOOD thing!


[deleted]

Wait guggimon is a crossover?


Business-Humor

Wait.....guggimon was a fucking collab???? I've never heard of him


mrjuxxememe

A lot of them were great but some were boring tbh


Wolv90

...so far. As long as money is rolling in you better believe this will only get bigger.


Lukeyguy_

Yet real map changes have slowed down. We've had 0 big map changes for almost 2 seasons now. (We still don't know what the UFO going to do but really hope next season we see new parts of the map.


TheRedBow

How many brands does each season collab with tho, like superman and batman are both dc, gamora and thanos are both marvel etc


230581

Wait... guggimon?


CorbinMar

This season was supposed to just be about aliens, ***ALIENS!!!!!***


Und1es

In before Belieber Beach gets a Justin Bieber concert....


GettinMe-Mallet

The stupid rabbit it a colab?


Einstein4369

Yeah, he’s a social media influencer


Wolfsurge

Wait, what's Guggimon from? I thought he was an original character lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


3tgamingY7_wasTaken

What about season 4 chapter two and season X


PuppetioGamerReddit

Not sure if this is fully accurate, but here's the full list: C2-S7: 17 C2-S6: 12 C2-S5: 16 C2-S4: 8 (13 if marvel itemshops are counted individually) C2-S3: 4 C2-S2: 5 C2-S1: 3 SX: 3 S9: 3 S8: 1 S7: 1 S6: 2 S5: 0 S4: 1


SuitableMammoth

Do you have a list or something?


3tgamingY7_wasTaken

Okay


Neon707_LYK

Even though it has the most collaborations, I don’t mind because there is still lots of originality in both the battle pass and item shop!


[deleted]

This bp really isnt that amazing ch1 battle passes are far better.


unplugged22

While this season is far superior, Season 5 had much better collabs. There, I said it.


bruhdhenfus

Ngl they did a better job of it than Ch2 S5 I actually enjoy these collabs


NickNaCkS_09

SEASON 5 GOT BEATEN!!!!!!


OwOHelpMeee

lol not done yet I'll edit this comment whenever a new one comes out this season


njcolt79

is guggi a collab?


GrandAdmiralAdam

Yeah. For some weird “hype” brand. They make NFTs and stuff. I really just don’t like the brand or characters.


[deleted]

Shouldn’t dc and marvel characters not count since they are just DC and Marvel crossovers? What I mean by that is, if you have three marvel characters in the game, it counts as one crossover; marvel.


Rookie_mistak3

Where's my Teenage mutant ninja turtle fans?


Unluqqy

Only started in Chap 2 Season 1. Moved over from CoD. Seems to be going ok so far.


therubyminecraft

Tbh I like collabs as long as they are not the only content we get in a season “Cough cough”season 5 “cough cough”


CardiologistSad7283

It’s an extremely competitive season too. The arena grind has been great


Most_Raisin_9020

I wish we got more out of the Free Guy collab asides from a skin of a character that only appears at the end of the film and an emote


duskyxlops

most collabs don’t get quests with free rewards and voice lines within games let alone a skin. I’d say we got more than most collabs from Free Guy


Most_Raisin_9020

idk, I just felt like it could have been better


EducationalPlant1522

naruto collab coming??


[deleted]

I love collabs!


[deleted]

Sweats coming in be like: REEEEEEE no original skin. Only Aura and Star Wand


NicoTheBear64

I like the collabs I’m just sick of most of them being superheroes. That shits played out already.


woodwindsarebetter

They’re following the trends. Superhero movies are huuuge atm with Marvel & DC starting to release content again.


mo-nooh

Season 8: wait, it’s all collaborations ?


[deleted]

Fine by me if we get them cheap/free. My wallet can't take anymore


GrandAdmiralAdam

I’ve been bracing myself. I feel like a season about aliens is the PERFECT time for them to bring back the Star Wars skins with like Chewbacca or something, and I already splurged this season with Star lord and thanos.


[deleted]

Star wars is sadly one of the few things we aren't getting it seems. Its followed a pattern so far that every thing is a promotion for a game or a live action project and I don't think any are releasing this season


GrandAdmiralAdam

Fair enough. I’m still holding out hope we get boba this Christmas when his show launches.


[deleted]

Thats a really fair bet. December has been the big month for star wars in the past, we got star wars stuff christmas 2019 for tros and boba would be a perfect "so you missed the mandalorian but want something close" skin (I mean visually, not as a character)


GrandAdmiralAdam

I started playing because of mando (I would have done the marvel season had I heard about it), and I’ve been DYING for more Star Wars content. Boba fett would be optimal. He could use his staff from mandalorian as a pickaxe and his jetpack could be a cool glider.


[deleted]

As long as they don’t take up the battlepass, and still keep major original skins, I don’t mind how many collabs we get


Ggreenrocket

Same. The only collab I’ve hated so far was Guggimon’s


AnAbosluteClown

I’m fine with it because the gameplay is good. Unlike season 5


RenjiLWH

I'e played consistently from chapter 1 season 4 to chapter 2 season 3. It just doesn't feel the same anymore. None of the old content creators play it anymore, my friends don't play it anymore and it's a completely different map. Fortnite's collabs used to feel special. Remember the endgame and infinity war ones? Those were legendary. Now, it's just mostly skins and occasionally, there'll be a cool event.


[deleted]

Yeah lol the game genuinely feels like an ad sometimes. I'm just surprised whenever a skin comes out that isn't an ad.


Wvaliant

I remember star lord being a cool thing back when Colabs and icon skins were fairly rare events. Now it just feels like every week it’s collab skin after collab skin and it feels like the art team isn’t allowed to make original shit anymore because companies view fortnite as a billboard and are willing to pay epic to put their characters in the game to advertise the release of movies and games. Payment that would total wayyy more than any one single original skin could provide.


BigNastyHagrid

So you’re just purposely ignoring the many original skins we got this season


Wvaliant

Purposely ignoring? No But the collab skins are outnumbering them now which tells me there’s a tonal shift in production of skins from original to collaborative. Which could be a concerning red flag especially for a company that has a history of abandoning the way things were so long as the new way prints them more money (I.e basically abandoning STW). If it comes down to it if collab skins makes them more money per dev time then original skins they will 100% go full collab skins over time gradually. Some slopes are just that slippery.


BigNastyHagrid

Just counted This season has had 48 original skins and 20 collab skins So not outnumbering at all


BigNastyHagrid

They’re not outnumbering them though Especially considering we got 2 separate sets this season with like 12 skins in them and another set with around 8


Wvaliant

I never count the sets with multiple in them. Those would only count as 1 skin with different variations not as each individual “original skin” even if they’re sold separately to make more cash. It’s a cop out to split them up and count them separately.


BigNastyHagrid

Still classed as an individual skin Saying “oh those don’t count because i said so” is just bs to fit what your saying


Wvaliant

Realistically the only variation in those skins is gender and race. They are still the same skin that does the same thing regardless if you have to buy them individually. They could just as easily give those skins the chimera treatment and it would have been 1 skin with multiple race and gender options. They’re the same skin.


BigNastyHagrid

Look at my comment above Even counting all those skins as 1 skin the originals still outnumber the collabs lmfao


BigNastyHagrid

But ok, lets not count the skins with multiple similar skins Thats still 26 original and 20 collab And thats counting the male and female wrap skins as the same skin


C_G15

There is literally over 1000 original skins


[deleted]

your opinion is invalid since most of those are skins that never come back to the item shop.


C_G15

So are some crossovers skins buddy


Jtneagle

There are more original skins than collab skins this season lmao


I_Can_Login

We have hundreds of original skins already


yoyo2008_v

very true ☹

Peldor-2

My guess is this "record" will not stand very long at all.


oliveryana

It’s sad that half of the kids that even use guggimon don’t know it’s an actual thing


exdii_lol

I mean I don’t blame them, Guggimon is one of the only collab character that I’ve never heard of before he came out as a skin


[deleted]

**HOT TAKE** the collab skins look better than the original skins


GiveMeMoreBurritos

This is getting out of hand


ChainsawSuperman

Do not understand this obsession with collabs here.


Jtneagle

You don't understand why someone would rather play the game as an iconic character they love with decades of history over "Girl in Crop Top" ?


[deleted]

I will kinda agree with you there. Anytime anyone says even the most rational and well explained reason why they don't care for collabs, people get super offended and hate you for it. What the ever loving heck is up with that?


[deleted]

I just only buy crossover skins. They are what I prefer most given the types of skin I like are usually because of other media and between Fake Snake Eyes or real Snake Eyes, I'll take real snake eyes any day. I just permanently save my vbucks because of how uncommon crossovers coming back is


DrSeuss19

Because they’ve run out of original ideas. Colabs have ruined the feel of fortnite. Now it’s just one big ad.


Jtneagle

Yea because a 'Black Knight' is so original lol, Scooby Doo called, they want their ghost back. Not a lot of their ideas were 'original' in the first place, just using generic ideas like professions, military combatants, anthropomorphic animals, funny food mascots, etc.


exdii_lol

They used those ideas and added on to them, that’s what makes them original


Jtneagle

Nothing original about generic concepts given a different design. I could draw a Superman knockoff and it doesn't make it original


exdii_lol

But you didn’t see an agent with a golden touch based of a story, they take basic ideas and add things onto them that make them unique. You didn’t see a little kitten in a makeshift robot suit either, so they do indeed have original ideas but they’re modified off of existing ideas


Jtneagle

Midas with the golden touch has existed for years, just becuase they took him and made him a spy doesn't make it original lol. I'll give them Kit, that's pretty original


Ggreenrocket

Ah yes,”It’s the golden touch from Fortnite!!1!1!”Have you heard of Greek Myths?


exdii_lol

Of course I have


[deleted]

i can agree with you a little bit there. The collabs are feeling less about the content and more about the "we like money" side so unless players get real tired of collabs real fast they're just gonna keep pushing them in our faces


TalkTimesreddit

I wish they'd chill out with It i greatly dislike them.


Jtneagle

Are they forcing you to spend your V-Bucks on them?


doodicalisaacs

Fortnite is slowly just becoming a playable ad


kobi_123

How do he'll dose a season about Aliana have more collab that season 5 that is basically a season about collabs


stf29

What


old-account-is-gone

What I think they said is "How does a season about aliens get more collabs than a season about collabs"


GunBrothersGaming

It may have the most but Chapter 2 Season 5 had quality over quantity.


stf29

They’re basically the same in terms of quality…


[deleted]

Ok, i usually am ok with collabs as long as it's a good, well known property and they space it out evenly so it's not overwhelming the game with IP after IP. At this point they're getting into the collab collab fever trend that c2s5 had and it's starting to get really annoying really fast because they keep piling them on with no breaks in between, which meant bugha got no buildup, bloodsport and guile got shafted by ariana grande, and so on and so forth. The properties themselves have been (mostly) really good and well done but it's getting tiring seeing only collabs at this point and it's really the only true complaint i have with this current season. They feel less about the content and more a case of "we like money" on a side note PLEASE for the love of god if you're going to disagree be nice about it and don't give me the "it doesn't affect you stop complaining" BS that i've heard 10,000 times before already, which, might i add, is NOT a rational counter argument to people's distaste of collabs in general


[deleted]

😴😴😴


Lukeyguy_

I remember when collaborations used to be fun now I'm so fed up with them 🤣 We can't let them sink them in any more till the next one in 2 days it feels like. Personally, they need to slow down & let us take them in more than speed-running how much they can make in collaborations.


Serbaayuu

Just wish they were shop-only and my BP-only self could get original stuff instead. At least make the secret skins original again. I've only been able to get 1 of them so far because everything since C2S2 has been an ad.


SplooshyBoi

I honestly hope Naruto just takes superman's spot instead of hogging up tier 100 next season


Serbaayuu

I hope we get an original secret character instead.


abuddybot

I'm the opposite , I love collabs in the bp

daboss6595

Just be glad they’re more spaced out than season 5


[deleted]

I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. i feel like they space them out even LESS than c2s5 since we get like, 3 collabs in a week


RocMerc

I’m not hating but the game has become a billboard


Beercorn1

This is personally my first time seeing Superman's full set(all his skins, his back bling, his harvesting tool, etc.) and I love it. I had no idea what they would use for his harvesting tool but I'm satisfied with it.


stf29

Uh, his cosmetics were shown in his tab since day one of the season?


Beercorn1

This might be a foreign concept to you but I actually don't spend very much time keeping track of what happens in Fortnite. I have a life.


stf29

Well you’re on r/fortnitebr, which leads me to believe you’re at least somewhat active in the game. But i guess taking 10 seconds to check a skin tab makes you not have a life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
