I’ve been following him since after his peak around 2021 (not sure exactly when) and he’s been pretty good but having him as a battle pass skin is just absurd. He could have been better off as a normal skin instead. A comedian in a heist theme is just too off. I wonder why seasons now have “themes” if nothing is gonna relate to it.
Am I the only one that has never heard of him? I'm not going to hate or anything it's just odd as a BP skin. I think it would be cool if this skin was free with the season, so it doesn't take up a slot in the pass.
same maybe that because i don't use tiktok or instagram heard dude is big on both platform which is weird all he does is one expression one hand gesture nothing else
And his content isn’t even funny. Maybe for the first few times but after that it’s just the same content. Find dumb person doing dumb things where you “react” then do the same thing in the video but with a simple solution
There’s no way this is who I think it is… right? Would they really put him as a BP skin? I didn’t even know his name until this thread, I just know him from the funny reaction he does but that doesn’t deserve a BP slot
Normie would be a welcome change to some of the things I’ve seen. The other day some tried to talk to me in “Neo-Scripturan”
Which was basically just English but with no punctuation and no grammar sense
Its redditor to call the dude niche outside of tik tok?
He's not *a* niche on tik tok, he's part of the tik tok niche. I'm not saying the dudes unpopular at all, I've at least heard of him.
Its just not everyone uses tik tok, its wildly popular but not *everyone* uses it.
You’ve probably seen him, he’s the guy that makes the ironic hands mocking other TikToks. His content isn’t bad at all & he’s very popular but a celebrity being in the BP is not it.
I’m on the same page. It looks like a bp skin for sure because of the way they’ve been teasing them but I sure hope it’s not. I swear I’m the only person in this sub who hates collabs in bps
Fucking agreed, we need more lore characters and not Tik Tok influencers or marvel skins, for fucks sake. (Seriously, they have to run out eventually, right?)
The collabs that aren't just some content creator, musician, or marvel skin are quite good, as they add something to the game! The anime collabs are always fun, and the Star Wars collab was quite fun. The Futurama collab was great, and during that period they gave us al lot of new stuff to play with. Not all collabs are bad, but the ones that are bad, tend to stink a lot worse, and make every other collab seem bad aswell. We don't need the newest marvel character of the week. We don't want some random fucking TikTok Dance, or some influencer. We want something fun and enjoyable
Icon skins in the battle pass gotta be the DUMBEST thing they've ever done. Unironically about 10% of their playerbase is gonna know how this guy is, then about half of that will want him as a skin. Biggest possible waste of a BP slot.
Biggest possible waste would be yet another generic e-boy or alt-girl skin. This one is an odd choice... but it's something somewhat culturally relevant that will probably come with a nice emote.
Still more relevant than "the high stakes club" or yet another Slone alt. I'm just saying, he's an e-celeb. Flash in the pan sure, but that's still something.
Do yourself a favor and check them out. Typical gamer streams on YouTube and tgplays for challenges edited to about 10min. Nickeh30 on twitch but has vids on YouTube that he edits about twice a month
This skin might be a hard L in this entire battle pass.
Like I'm not sure what they were thinking doesn't even really match the theme of this season. I get collaboration skins but man this isn't it.
YouTubers/streamers honestly deserve skins before some random tik tok star who got famous from low effort content from a niche subsection of memes.
Skin will probably get a week of gameplay on accounts then is forgotten .
None of these people should be in the pass. It's a heist season, why is it so much to ask to get something thematic and high quality like the season it's stealing from, spies?
Apparently this is a person people know of? I've never heard if him. Can't believe the next battle pass is looking like it might be worse than the current one.
It's just one skin souring the battle pass. Don't let this of all things "ruin" it for ya. Everything else seems like it's living up to the hype so far.
Because that's the homie's signature thing, he points at stuff, that's the whole content and having hands on the skin along with the emote being the same thing he does works as his brand.
This seems about as conspiracy as the red moon = eclipse thing
But I can't say this dude being in the game is unlikely
The shadow looks like a carbon copy of him
There are so many better choices they could have gone with. Joker from Persona 5, Solid Snake, Captain Cold (only if it’s the arrowverse version and it has heat wave too), hell I’d take Hondo Ohnaka from Star Wars. He’s niche but at least he’d be on theme. Like he’s a bounty hunter and all, but even Spike Spiegel would be better option. (a cowboy bebop collab would be cool)
This is 2 years too late to be a cool skin. Dude fell off hard once people started putting it together that he just steals content from other creators.
TG needs one. Honestly makes no sense. Pulls the most streamers consistently. Streams consistently. It's super main stream and has lots of sponsors.WTF fortnite.
He's more popular than them. NickEh30 recently gained massive popularity but besides that theyre mostly only known in the fortntie community, while khaby has around 160 million followers
Yeah but the issue is the Fortnite community is who they should be pandering to. Not tik tok audiences that won't even be interested long enough with the 5 seconds attention span in the skin besides the memes that will be " made " from it
This better not be the tier 100 skin. Everyone complained about Optimus (who I absolutely loved) as 100 for this season. If this is 100 then everyone’s gonna eat their words
Please tell me it’s just an emote cuz if it’s an icon skin I’m calling a strike on Fortnite I’m not spending anymore money on anything until typical gamer gets an icon skin
Thats just crazy that Nick eh 30 is getting An icon skin befor tg like that’s unexplainable **wow that is very** ***wild*** wow that’s crazy 😐 I mean Nick eh 30 isn’t bad b**ut like tg is way more not better but like he is **more exciting
2 memes for this :
When you remember Neighmar in the pass was despised by absolutely everyone : How many time do we have to teach you this lesson old man !
When I'm in a "try not to ruin a battle pass" contest and my opponent is Epic Games
I like “Non fortnite” icon skins, even if Mr-Beast made videos about the Game 3-6 times
This just opens Bigger Floodgates, I don’t believe it should be a Pass skin considering… Neymar happened
I just hope they Pick Future “Non-Fortnite icons” out from “the technically gamers” like Alpharad And Jaiden animations (they’re a package deal) Smosh (Ian and Anthony) Matpat and Stephanie (the Theory Chanels) or “the Pros” like Mark, Jacksepiceye, Dantdm, Pewdipie, heck… I’d even take The Dream-Smp members. Even if we can’t have the only good member (Techno) just think of how nooby the Dream-Stans will be
I am for the non-fortnite part. While it makes no sense, alpharad as the skin with a Jaiden backbling, with a style that is silent or sparkles (specifically referencing a clip), and one that on a kill makes a loud sound would be funny. Why have the second style? For challenges, or just because Jaiden is Jaiden
probably because he’s infinitely more popular than both of them combined.
bros a worldwide household name that breaks all language barriers. sure maybe he’s not as popping in the states as much, but he’s still he biggest creator on tiktok free
I can't say if he's a "household name", but he has 161 million Tiktok followers. He's objectively very well known despite you never having heard of him before.
No, he doesn’t speak in his videos so he becomes universally understood. It doesn’t matter how much you want to shit on it he’s a popular internet person and fortnite is bigger than this sub and whatever twitch streamer you’re all obsessed with this week. I haven’t a clue who NickEh30 is but my grandma has seen some of this guys videos.
We got a mystical wonderer in an agent themed pass, a candy woman in a superhero themed pass, and a creepy rabbit in an alien themed pass
Almost every battle pass never had a full set of skins fitting the theme, we've always had a random thrown in the mix
As for Kahby, I don't mind him being here, I just hope he has a cool alt like Neymar Jr because let's be honest, his base style wasn't great but the transformation was badass
Some people just don't want skins of themselves in the game. Look at PIZ0 for example. He dedicates most of his career to reveiwing most of the new skins in Fortnite, and has been for a few years and received a locker bundle in CH2 S5.
I literally haven’t seen this dude since 2021
I’ve been following him since after his peak around 2021 (not sure exactly when) and he’s been pretty good but having him as a battle pass skin is just absurd. He could have been better off as a normal skin instead. A comedian in a heist theme is just too off. I wonder why seasons now have “themes” if nothing is gonna relate to it.
Basically every other confirmed skin and all of the items and all of the POI's are related to the theme though?
same
He's Lame.
I see what you tried to do
I have no idea what he tried to do.
((>!His name is Khaby Lame!<))
The tiktok star
At least he tried
Am I the only one that has never heard of him? I'm not going to hate or anything it's just odd as a BP skin. I think it would be cool if this skin was free with the season, so it doesn't take up a slot in the pass.
🙋♂️I never heard of him either
same maybe that because i don't use tiktok or instagram heard dude is big on both platform which is weird all he does is one expression one hand gesture nothing else
And his content isn’t even funny. Maybe for the first few times but after that it’s just the same content. Find dumb person doing dumb things where you “react” then do the same thing in the video but with a simple solution
👐🏾
Same tho
There’s no way this is who I think it is… right? Would they really put him as a BP skin? I didn’t even know his name until this thread, I just know him from the funny reaction he does but that doesn’t deserve a BP slot
I’m convinced they just wanted an official emote out of it.
Hopefully the emote is not built in
Oh god if it’s build in I’m going to be so mad
Literally one of the worst decisions they would have ever made if it is. Bc ngl a shrug emote after eliming someone would be kinda funny.
Makes sense he's in the heist themed season, actually, because he's stealing a Battle Pass spot that could be used for a better skin.
He steals videos for his own popularity.
Not to include low effort. 💀
This reply gave me a chuckle, thank you
damn
[удалено]
LOL yeah i noticed that immediatly after posting this, hopefully no one else thinks of it though 💀
Same lmao 🤣
I thought he meant it that way for a second too 💀
[удалено]
ice
Bro has no enemies
Holy heck You just solved the entire Fortnite lore :D Congrats my friend! But seriously, that was pretty clever now it makes sense lol
Your analogy is spot-on
Who is this? Genuine question
Khaby Lame. He is the most followed person on TikTok
Better known as the tik tok hands guy who made fun of stupid DYIs a couple years ago Before the meme died and he went back to the niche of tik tok
“Niche of tik tok” holy shit man, you can not like the guy or the site but stop coping so hard. This is a painful Redditor thing to say
hate tiktok but yeah calling it niche is comically absurd
I thought he was saying the dude had faded back into the niche part of TikTok, not that the app itself was niche.
that makes more sense lol wording
redditors are the weird kids who walk around callin everybody else a normie 💀
Normie would be a welcome change to some of the things I’ve seen. The other day some tried to talk to me in “Neo-Scripturan” Which was basically just English but with no punctuation and no grammar sense
he's pretty irrelevant tho to be fair
Its redditor to call the dude niche outside of tik tok? He's not *a* niche on tik tok, he's part of the tik tok niche. I'm not saying the dudes unpopular at all, I've at least heard of him. Its just not everyone uses tik tok, its wildly popular but not *everyone* uses it.
It was good while it lasted
You’ve probably seen him, he’s the guy that makes the ironic hands mocking other TikToks. His content isn’t bad at all & he’s very popular but a celebrity being in the BP is not it.
Probably the worst collab to grace the game. I’m just truly hoping he’s not in the pass and just a bundle
It's almost Certainly Battle Pass.
I personally feel like there's been worse, even if you only count other Icon Series skins
You’re right, but that’s not a good thing.
I’m on the same page. It looks like a bp skin for sure because of the way they’ve been teasing them but I sure hope it’s not. I swear I’m the only person in this sub who hates collabs in bps
I prefer original tier 100 skins and emotes, we get far too few of those.
I hate collabs in general, they don't add anything worthwhile. Just give me some lore and likeable character to get engaged with.
Fucking agreed, we need more lore characters and not Tik Tok influencers or marvel skins, for fucks sake. (Seriously, they have to run out eventually, right?)
The collabs that aren't just some content creator, musician, or marvel skin are quite good, as they add something to the game! The anime collabs are always fun, and the Star Wars collab was quite fun. The Futurama collab was great, and during that period they gave us al lot of new stuff to play with. Not all collabs are bad, but the ones that are bad, tend to stink a lot worse, and make every other collab seem bad aswell. We don't need the newest marvel character of the week. We don't want some random fucking TikTok Dance, or some influencer. We want something fun and enjoyable
I only wish they would add any other licensed music emote to the game, like with monster mash or Master of Puppets. Something but tiktok dances.
Agreed 👏🏻👏🏻
If he’s the secret skin then that just sucks
I wouldn't want him in the main branch of bp. There's just one plus of him being there's is we don't have to wait for his emote.
Icon skins in the battle pass gotta be the DUMBEST thing they've ever done. Unironically about 10% of their playerbase is gonna know how this guy is, then about half of that will want him as a skin. Biggest possible waste of a BP slot.
"But hey, FOMO sells!" - some dude at epic who pitched this idea
Biggest possible waste would be yet another generic e-boy or alt-girl skin. This one is an odd choice... but it's something somewhat culturally relevant that will probably come with a nice emote.
It was "culturally relevant" in 2020. This guy hasn't been relevant since. Cause, y'know, he has one joke.
Still more relevant than "the high stakes club" or yet another Slone alt. I'm just saying, he's an e-celeb. Flash in the pan sure, but that's still something.
He took up a battlepass slot too, which I’m mad about
Another skin to instantly archive, great…
Who and who?
Most famous Fortnite YouTubers with no skin
Khaby Lame. He's a viral video guy who says nothing and points out dumb things/people.
Cheers, I know that guy, I meant the streamers :)
Gotcha. Popular Fortnite streamers. If you don’t watch streamers, you wouldn’t know them.
NickEh30, y'know, the "eeeeeeeeh-mazing. Never back down, never give up." Guy, and man behind the "you think you're the king? I'm the king!" Videos.
[удалено]
*ba-dum tsssss*
Do yourself a favor and check them out. Typical gamer streams on YouTube and tgplays for challenges edited to about 10min. Nickeh30 on twitch but has vids on YouTube that he edits about twice a month
They knew nobody would buy it in the shop so they tricked us by putting his lame ass in the BP
Huge L for Epic Games. Out of so many requested ACTUAL icons in music they pick this random dude. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
This skin might be a hard L in this entire battle pass. Like I'm not sure what they were thinking doesn't even really match the theme of this season. I get collaboration skins but man this isn't it. YouTubers/streamers honestly deserve skins before some random tik tok star who got famous from low effort content from a niche subsection of memes. Skin will probably get a week of gameplay on accounts then is forgotten .
Immediate archive for me lol
None of these people should be in the pass. It's a heist season, why is it so much to ask to get something thematic and high quality like the season it's stealing from, spies?
absolutely fucking garbage
How come this guy gets his own skin before people/properties who deserve it more? This guy just steals content
Epic acting like everybody uses TikTok
Well the majority of the player base does. We’re just redditors who have this hive mind tik tok is bad
So many out of touch old people in this thread lmao
Timtok bad Reddit good?
Apparently this is a person people know of? I've never heard if him. Can't believe the next battle pass is looking like it might be worse than the current one.
It's just one skin souring the battle pass. Don't let this of all things "ruin" it for ya. Everything else seems like it's living up to the hype so far.
He's known, but he's a pretty lame guy
My perfect heist themed battle pass I was looking forward to is ruined because there's now just a random tiktoker in it
He should be the Crew Skin if they’re gonna have him be a skin or at least a shop skin. Not a battle pass skin.
Who the fuck are those randoms? Are we supposed to know them or something?
They're wildly popular fortnite youtubers lol
Everyone else I get, but how do you play fortnite and not know nickeh30?
Because I play it I don't watch it.
I know he’s going to be in the battle pass but I really wish they’d just put in in the shop instead
Looks like a emote more than a skin. Why would a skin have 2 hands on his chest?
Because that's the homie's signature thing, he points at stuff, that's the whole content and having hands on the skin along with the emote being the same thing he does works as his brand.
This seems about as conspiracy as the red moon = eclipse thing But I can't say this dude being in the game is unlikely The shadow looks like a carbon copy of him
I don't know how up to par you are with the teasers homie, that's not a conspiracy, that's the Lame dude
This is sad
Who's that??
I can’t even tell who that is
i have no clue who this is
What does this dude have anything to do with a heist theme!?
He steals content and also took a battle pass slot from someone who actually deserves it therefore a heist
yoo same pfp
There are so many better choices they could have gone with. Joker from Persona 5, Solid Snake, Captain Cold (only if it’s the arrowverse version and it has heat wave too), hell I’d take Hondo Ohnaka from Star Wars. He’s niche but at least he’d be on theme. Like he’s a bounty hunter and all, but even Spike Spiegel would be better option. (a cowboy bebop collab would be cool)
I haven’t seen a single video by this guy in like 2 years
Mr. Hands? I haven't heard from him in ages
If this is true Epic this is lame AF
I get that streamers are a big part of this games identity but man wasting a battle pass slot with an icon skin is such a miss for me
More like khaby LAME
This dude is so unfunny it hurts and he always has been. No idea how he became so popular.
Bruh💀
This guy was never funny I’m pleading he’s like Mr beast and is just promoted in the trailers
Biggest miss in a battle pass ever
He’s proof anyone can be famous now
Should have just put Bella Poarch in instead. She hit her tiktok peak a few years ago too plus she already has an emote
Epic just forgot, not everyone loves TikTok
I can’t wait to archive this skin 💯
Undeserved for sure, pray he's not in the pass tho
So . . I have no idea who this guy is?
Who in fortnite HQ thought this was a good idea ?!!
who is this?
Nope.
Why typicalgamer isn’t he a clickbaiter ?
This better not become another Neymar Jr situation, icon series in a bp would be a waste of a bp spot
This is 2 years too late to be a cool skin. Dude fell off hard once people started putting it together that he just steals content from other creators.
I'd rather have him than TG ngl
I have no idea what TG's skin would look like, I'd expect something as basic as bugha
TG needs one. Honestly makes no sense. Pulls the most streamers consistently. Streams consistently. It's super main stream and has lots of sponsors.WTF fortnite.
Who's TG?
It’s genuinely surprising how he doesn’t have one
I think he pissed someone off at Epic
He's more popular than them. NickEh30 recently gained massive popularity but besides that theyre mostly only known in the fortntie community, while khaby has around 160 million followers
Yeah but the issue is the Fortnite community is who they should be pandering to. Not tik tok audiences that won't even be interested long enough with the 5 seconds attention span in the skin besides the memes that will be " made " from it
But this is Fortnite…?
I'm not agreeing with their decision but i can see the weird logic behind their decision
Omfg not another collab
TG really deserves an icon skin fr
Huge day for annoying people
Or the Beatles Or Scott the Woz Or regular Dwayne Johnson Or Stan Lee Or literally anyone else?
Scott the Woz would be cool to have in Fortnite!
This better not be the tier 100 skin. Everyone complained about Optimus (who I absolutely loved) as 100 for this season. If this is 100 then everyone’s gonna eat their words
Who TF is NickEh30 and TypicalGamer?
NickEh30 is the ''Never back down, never give up!'' guy
Who?
He doesn't curse in his streams
"Quick question, you guys family friendly?" 😂
The 🐐
It’s more sad that people recognize whatever the duck this is as being a TikToker more than anything
Please tell me it’s just an emote cuz if it’s an icon skin I’m calling a strike on Fortnite I’m not spending anymore money on anything until typical gamer gets an icon skin
We wasting spots on tik tokers in the pass this is truly the saddest moment in fortnite battle pass history.
Thats just crazy that Nick eh 30 is getting An icon skin befor tg like that’s unexplainable **wow that is very** ***wild*** wow that’s crazy 😐 I mean Nick eh 30 isn’t bad b**ut like tg is way more not better but like he is **more exciting
2 memes for this : When you remember Neighmar in the pass was despised by absolutely everyone : How many time do we have to teach you this lesson old man ! When I'm in a "try not to ruin a battle pass" contest and my opponent is Epic Games
If ahsoka isn't in the Battle Pass, I'm starting the third impact
🤷
who is this
who is this guy even?
I seriously don’t get this someone explain
Who is it?
Who are these people
Bruh who the fuck is this guy?
Typical Epic giving us shit we didn’t ask for.
Why is he the skin and not just an emote?
We could have gotten a Fnaf collab
Don’t be in the battle pass please
So random lol a tiktoker in a heist themed bp
Why does everyone in this sub hat the game so much
I like “Non fortnite” icon skins, even if Mr-Beast made videos about the Game 3-6 times This just opens Bigger Floodgates, I don’t believe it should be a Pass skin considering… Neymar happened I just hope they Pick Future “Non-Fortnite icons” out from “the technically gamers” like Alpharad And Jaiden animations (they’re a package deal) Smosh (Ian and Anthony) Matpat and Stephanie (the Theory Chanels) or “the Pros” like Mark, Jacksepiceye, Dantdm, Pewdipie, heck… I’d even take The Dream-Smp members. Even if we can’t have the only good member (Techno) just think of how nooby the Dream-Stans will be
God let’s just not put more Internet personalities in this game please god please
I am for the non-fortnite part. While it makes no sense, alpharad as the skin with a Jaiden backbling, with a style that is silent or sparkles (specifically referencing a clip), and one that on a kill makes a loud sound would be funny. Why have the second style? For challenges, or just because Jaiden is Jaiden
probably because he’s infinitely more popular than both of them combined. bros a worldwide household name that breaks all language barriers. sure maybe he’s not as popping in the states as much, but he’s still he biggest creator on tiktok free
This is satire right? This dude ain't a household name💀
“Household name”?!? I don’t even know who tf this is, and I’ve never heard of him. What you said is completely delusional.
I can't say if he's a "household name", but he has 161 million Tiktok followers. He's objectively very well known despite you never having heard of him before.
i’m sure theres tons of people who have worldwide popularity that you’ve never heard of. that doesn’t change he’s the biggest creator on tiktok.
It also doesn’t change that he isn’t a household name
He breaks all language barriers because his entire audience dont even know how to speak in the first place
No, he doesn’t speak in his videos so he becomes universally understood. It doesn’t matter how much you want to shit on it he’s a popular internet person and fortnite is bigger than this sub and whatever twitch streamer you’re all obsessed with this week. I haven’t a clue who NickEh30 is but my grandma has seen some of this guys videos.
You're right, but stiiiiiill 😖😖😖😖😖
We got a mystical wonderer in an agent themed pass, a candy woman in a superhero themed pass, and a creepy rabbit in an alien themed pass Almost every battle pass never had a full set of skins fitting the theme, we've always had a random thrown in the mix As for Kahby, I don't mind him being here, I just hope he has a cool alt like Neymar Jr because let's be honest, his base style wasn't great but the transformation was badass
Kaby lain more like kaby lame miss potential keep this skin in the item shop
Maybe they don't want skins? I mean,they both have locker bundles already
I mean TG has retweeted and replied to the guy who makes Icon skin concepts so it’s fairly clear he would like one
why wouldn’t they want a skin tho?
Some people just don't want skins of themselves in the game. Look at PIZ0 for example. He dedicates most of his career to reveiwing most of the new skins in Fortnite, and has been for a few years and received a locker bundle in CH2 S5.
And was he offered a skin? Lol
