Summary
- Players are upset by the high price of the UltraViolet Pulse Kicks in Fortnite.
- The cost of the new Adventure Time cosmetics has many fans divided.
- A large portion of the community believes Kicks are overpriced in general.
Fortnite players are upset with the price of the UltraViolet Pulse Kicks available in the Item Shop, which are an original design by Epic Games. Many fans have been ecstatic with the number of collaborations coming to Fortnite, which includes its newest crossovers with Sabrina Carpenter and the hit show Adventure Time.
The implementation of the recent crossover between Fortnite and Adventure Time has also proven to be divisive within the community, as many fans seem to think the cosmetics are overpriced. The extensive collaboration has introduced four fresh skins to the game alongside numerous accessories and a car. While such a large crossover typically comes with a bundle that includes everything, the Adventure Time cosmetics are only partially bundled together. Two back blings, a glider, three emotes, and the car aren't included in the big 3,800 V-Buck bundle with the skins, and there's no way for fans looking to acquire everything to save a little money. This has upset a lot of gamers who were looking forward to purchasing every item included in the collaboration.
Fortnite Reload Leak Reveals Chapter 2 Details
A prominent Fortnite leaker provides players with new details about the upcoming release of Chapter 2 of Epic Games' unique mode, Fortnite Reload.
In a recent post on Reddit, UnstableCatKibble shared an image of the battle royale's latest Item Shop offerings and questioned why the UltraViolet Pulse Kicks cost 1,000 V-Bucks on their own. The Kicks are shown next to a skin called Beat Man, which is only priced at 800 V-Bucks. The two cosmetics are available together as part of a bundle that costs 1,400 V-Bucks. Fortnite's Kicks have proven to be controversial from the start, with many people claiming that the cosmetics are overpriced. Until now, all of Epic Games' original concepts have been priced at 600 V-Bucks, with collaborations with companies like Adidas and Nike climbing as high as 1,000 V-Bucks. The UltraViolet Pulse Kicks set a new precedent that some fans aren't happy about.
Fortnite Fans Are Unhappy With the Price of the UltraViolet Pulse Kicks
Many gamers believe that Kicks shouldn't cost as much as any of the game's skins, since they're a small accessory that goes on a character's feet. While some fans were certain that most of Fortnite's Kicks were overpriced due to collaborations with other companies, the UltraViolet Pulse Kicks now suggest otherwise. Numerous people commented that the cost of the bundle seemed fair, but only because the skin itself seems more valuable than the Kicks.
In the past, a large portion of the community suggested that Fortnite's original Kicks should be priced at 300 V-Bucks to make them more enticing. Unfortunately, the release of the UltraViolet Pulse Kicks could mean that prices may be going up instead of down in the future. Despite a few hiccups with its latest microtransactions, many fans seem to be enjoying Chapter 6 Season 2 of the popular battle royale.
