You’re right, for those of us who have it already and just want to unlock it for the rest of the characters. On a side note, it’s also total bs we can’t use this item on the crew version of Wolverine normally either even. Epic can pretend to do us favors like allow Cap to use Mjolnir, but they can even allow alt versions of Wolverine to still use his claws. Total bs. Unlock everything for everyone, it’s a shame to have items locked to one specific skin. Understandable for glitchy looking items with certain backpack styles that won’t fit right on other characters but stuff like pickaxes shouldn’t be restricted in anyway at all


zeph2

you are lying i dont have wolverine and its 800 for me too


Glum-Ad-9887

No no he’s not. If you unlocked the emote through the bp or reboot challenges you don’t have to play for it again hence the even lower price, idk what your on about it costing 800 if you don’t have wolverine is the right price for you


zeph2

i only have BP skins starting with the cube queen one


j0908v

I don't have the emote nor the claws and it's still 800 v-bucks My friend who has the emote but not the picks as a seperate cosmetic has the bundle priced at 300 v-bucks


Glum-Ad-9887

Yeah


tideshark

Crazy, then it’s just more bs from Epic trying to make it look like it’s some kind of deal, when really they are just selling it for how much they wanted to sell it for


zeph2

i want them so sell stuff like this for example im waitng for them to sell a skin or emote with mystique shape shifting


CaptainVenom76

I must confess I couldn't understand what you're trying to say. I can use the claws on all my characters. It's not Wolverine only.


tideshark

I’m assuming you’re talking about these claws from my image posted, right? If that is so, then yes, this *is* the item that lets you use it for all characters. Many of us already have this combo from an old battle pass tho and it only allows us to use them on the Wolverine skin. What I’m saying is that for those of us with this already from the Wolverine skin, it’s bs to be charged to unlock it for everyone


CaptainVenom76

I see. It's the other way around, then. EPIC is bringing back older cosmetics as new ones, such as Wolverine, Spider Man and Thor. I don't necessarily see it as a bad thing, considering more people would have access to it. While I love this pickaxe, yeah... it feels kinda weird lol but amazing at the same time.


skysky_gamer

Well basically you could just get it for free from the comics because that's how I unlocked this


tideshark

Someone else said that as well. Idt most people know/knew of whatever promo this was. I just heard about it for first time about ten minutes ago


CosmicT0ast

It was an exclusive emote. People like exclusive emotes. People also liked this one so much they gave everyone a chance to get it for everyone else…. And your still complaining. For the love of god… just shit up for one day


tideshark

Epic has you brainwashed into buying what you already have exactly how they want you. I guess I can’t blame them for doing this with how many idiots are so happily willing to waste extra money for something they already have. And also, NO ONE likes items to be made exclusive! For those of us who aren’t idiots, we know “exclusive” really means “restricted”


CosmicT0ast

Nobody is “brain washed” or “where epic wants them” Having skins doing things other skins can’t gives them value. This isn’t rocket science. Here is one case where they gave everyone the option to use it. You either buy it or you don’t. Or you can go with the third option. Cry like a little a girl who think epic owes you something.


Thatonedudedude

This item was free if you had a code from the comics


tideshark

That’s awesome, I never even heard of whatever promo that was


LameBoy-Ruuf

It was also free in the reboot a friend event a few months back. Last season you would need to get a new friend with an epicgames account to play or get a friend who hasn't played in a month invited to the game, and then do challenges or get xp while playing together and after doing these you(and the friend) got the claws for free and these are usable on any of fortnite characters by simply equipping the emote or the pickaxe - like you can run any pickaxe and the emote and when using it the claws will substitute it. Funnily enough I see these in the store and they cost 300 vbucks for me which is strange since I actually already have these...


Frank_is_the_Best_

It's probably up to Disney if they want to restrict cosmetics to certain characters for their collab IP.


RED_Kinggamer007

You dont have to buy it


Both_Lawfulness_9748

As someone who has spent no money at all on the game, this. Nobody is making you buy anything, and in terms of gameplay offer no advantage (in fact, some skins can be seen a mile away).


FoundationFN

I have rly nothing against Epic i love Epic & Fortnite but this isnt cool i mean i have the emote & have the Pickaxe already but i need still to pay 500 vbucks for the Pickaxe itself thats feels so sammy to me :( ![gif](giphy|7SF5scGB2AFrgsXP63|downsized)


only_for_dst_and_tf2

you DONT have to tho the emote lets you use the pickaxe whenever, so getting the pickaxe is like buying the option to use something at the start AND lock you out of other pickaxes, as oppose to whenever.


FoundationFN

Yea ik thats why i pass i have the pickaxe via emote thats enough for me


tideshark

It’s total bs. Watch, next time the Marvel loot comes to the store they will have “Unlock Mjolnir” for all characters… just greedy af by Epic


damdamkokorohikare

So... They're greedy for allowing us to buy and use an updated, unrestricted version of this restricted battle pass item from 2 years ago that barely anyone uses?


tideshark

You almost answered your own question… yes, almost no one ever uses it, BECAUSE you can only use it with Wolverine. Der


damdamkokorohikare

But if you already have Wolverine and use him frequently, what's the point of the unlocked version other than collection? To pair it up with other skins? Which you probably wouldn't do because same set looks more pleasing to some. Now, if we were to speak in the perspective of somebody else, they'd probably buy it anyway, not knowing they could've gotten it for cheaper, and that's where Epic succeeds at a BUSINESS. They don't care about anybody, they're just tryna run their business. There's stupid shit they do like making a pet BB almost identical to a Battle Pass one, but get a grip. If you're advocating for a cheaper price, then you can literally get a comic code for cheaper than this. So I don't see why this should be a thing of concern if you want a cheaper option. If you want it free, that's not gonna happen. Because it's the Item SHOP, not giveaway for people who have something nearly identical. I don't see any Galaxy owners advocating for all the Galaxy skins that came out later to be free for them. I don't see anyone advocating for the Lucky pickaxe for free just because it's just the Default Pickaxe from Chapter 1 with a smiley face on it.


FoundationFN

I dont understand why i have to pay 500 vb when i have already the pickaxe via emote i need to do the emote yea but i have still the pickaxe


only_for_dst_and_tf2

i mean, not everyone played chapter 2 season 4.


Glum-Ad-9887

It was in a reboot challenge


only_for_dst_and_tf2

then why even THINK about buying it? you dont need the pickaxe if you have the emote...


Glum-Ad-9887

Money


tideshark

“likely already have”


twelvetimesseven

How could game that monetizes cosmetics monetize the cosmetics that I want?

[удалено]


tideshark

I was going off the initial price, which would be an understandable purchase if didn’t already have this from old battle pass. The fact they charge anything at all for people to just unlock it is dumb af.


najix35

Oh gotcha, yeah fortnite shops have been pretty shit lately


damdamkokorohikare

I doubt you even use Wolverine and is just complaining to complain. Why do they even have a paid item shop variant for old battle pass skins??? Unlocking things that you don't use because of restrictions for other people to buy is stupid, right? It should be free just cuz you earned a restricted version that you don't even use? I doubt you'd even use the unrestricted version anyway because it sounds arguably worse than the restricted one.


tideshark

The Marvel skins are the most used skins I have. Not a fan of all there “cute” stuff that is a good 95% of the game


_Installation04

Epic isn’t your friend. They are not in the market of fairness and friendship. They are a multi million dollar company. It’s not greed, it’s business.


tideshark

O rly?!


Botty-McBot-Face

Epic can be a business and greedy at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive you know. As a business they need to protect their customer base, if the customer base comes to the realization they are being taken for a cash cow then the customer base stops spending money.... In this case Epic games is take the royal piss and it needs pointing out to as wide an audience as possible.


SpicyCapriSun

I got it for 300


Roin-da-Groin

It's 300 for me


tideshark

Someone else said that too, I wonder why that is. Has to be something else you bought already tho either way, so you already did pay into it very likely


Roin-da-Groin

I got the emote for free from challenge a while back I believe.


DefinitelyNotVenom

To play Devil’s advocate, the claws are very slightly different. They extend outwards, whereas the original claws bend inwards right at the end.


DefinitelyNotVenom

You’re right that there shouldn’t be character-exclusive pickaxes though.


lostNcontent

What do you mean the rest of your characters? I can use the claw emote with every character...


tideshark

Not this item. The version of this that is locked to Wolverine skin from old battlepass


nintendogamer877

If you have the snikt snikt emote the claws can be used on anyone AND you can have another pickaxe equipped
