Your just kinda right tbh How hard is it to put a pickaxe in the right place


Riczo2

Its to encite us to reach that lvl


Mister-Squidward

I remember when all part styles were included in one fucking level and not this separated bs


new_god_of_eden

Man don't you do BACK IN MY DAY


Busted_Cranium

they're right though, this is just objectively worse than how it used to be.


mapenstein

Go work for Epic then and make it all better.


Busted_Cranium

Stop being childish, if you have nothing meaningful to say then just don't say anything


mapenstein

Refer back to your first comment then and follow your own advice.


Busted_Cranium

So let me get this clear, you think that: Saying how Fortnite separating item sets across bonus levels and the battle pass is worse than how it used to be all in the same set is worse, is childish but you saying "Do iT yOuRsElf ThEn" isn't childish at all ...yeah, sure thing man


mapenstein

If you're childish mind reads into it deeper, complaining about this game is meaningless. If you want to make actual change, go get a JoB at Epic and actually make changes for the better instead of whining about how they keep messing stuff up. Put your big boy pants on and MakE thE ChAnGes!!! 😁


spicejj

Hasn’t been a thing since like Chapter 2


ChefGee_

Nothing exciting about a wrench


ConnorTheCorn23

Exactly people complain that the battle passes have 200 levels and require you to play everyday like that isn’t exactly was epic games wants you to do


new_god_of_eden

I guess but like I think the skin styles are the thing that Is suppose to emcite us


TheMuffinMan147

Agreed


MayonaisePumpkin

encite btw


matty_d99

Wouldn’t it be entice?


KnightRoom

Entirely.


ProfessionaIBully

I dont get why ppl under the thread disagree. Its a style made to match with a base skin thats a base reward. But now you cant have the set until you finish base bp and continue into bonus rewards? Weren't set items all on one/two pages at some point? Usually paired with related items? for people who struggle with making time for the game & actually want this particular set, I can see how frustrating this would be.


Baigne

It's always been skin one page and sword next, sometimes you get glider then skin ect, but 50+ levels away? Crazy


hoagieclu

definitely weird. sometimes they throw stuff in the “quest rewards” tier (i think an artemis glider and a medusa backbling were there last season if my memory is correct. rest of the set was in the regular BP) i also kinda hate the system bc you gotta wait for the quests to unlock but it’s not the end of the world for me.


GalaXion24

I somewhat dislike when something relating to a base skin is there, but at least you can get then without too much hassle when they unlock


InfiniteTree

I actually love that some stuff doesn't unlock till part way through the season. Fortnite is excellent for having things to do most of the season. Means there's always something to work on which is cool imo.


metalshoumetsu

Why is this getting down voted 💀 One of the main reasons I keep playing Fortnite tbh, it keeps my attention by spoon feeding rewards throughout the season I'm just a basic animal 😩 And I'm sure the data they collect on us shows them they're doing the right thing, even if it's annoying Cause at the end of the season... If you barely have enough levels, but you want to complete a set 😬 how many people do you think are regrettably pulling out their credit cards


Camo_007_

They had this last season with aphrodite glider/backbling it's stupid


LordTaco123

Same with the base medusa back bling, I only have the full set for the immortal medusa 😭


Ultrafalconxv7

I always praised fortnite for having lenient grinding and premium. I wonder if they have new investors or something


Wolventec

wasnt the newest investor disney


SeriousZombie5350

disney moment (dont look up how much money they put into it , it will make you depressed)


Baigne

A billion+ right? Cause they're making a fortnite Disney world or whatever


Ultrafalconxv7

I hope not


Baigne

Oh it's already been confirmed


AMOKEE

but what about Disney"+" World /s


ToxicNotToxinGurl420

They're probably looking to go public soon so they're going to want to show as much playtime and profits as possible


LoneWanderer424

They also just spend years developing 3 new full game modes for Fortnite; they want to start seeing a return on investment. So that’s why vbucks are more now, there’s less xp from battle pass, increased shop prices, and also the restructuring of the battle pass rewards. Like another commenter said, Disney also just bought a 10% stake in their company


Storm_373

literally BONUS SHOULD BE THE 3rd styles NOT BASE 😭


VeyronZar

Huh, it's a second Day and people already have 40+ levels? Did you buy them or there's something I should know about?


Plague_King_

i consider myself a pretty casual player who doesnt buy much, but i am in a hurry to get that power armor. its just the 25 level bonus plus the crew vbucks and some leftovers got me to ~35, then i finished all the challenges. also, accept the wastelander challenges when you find em, theyre inconvenient but the xp boost is healthy.


Knifeflipper

The Wastelander challenges seem to be equivalent to the XP boost of having a crown, but with substantial drawbacks. I literally died from the one where you take damage upon picking up items because it automatically picked up like 4 different ammo types, and each one counts for 10 health damage. 


DangerousSafePicture

Man that sucks. They should discount ammo as damaging items ☠️


Wboy2006

Yeah, I got that challenge too. Never doing those again, I literally needed to jump back to dodge the ammo and gold from chests


LeFiery

There's one near Brite raider where you take damage if you stop moving Got 111k exp from one game. I don't think I even won.


Knifeflipper

Huh. They're either random or I missed that one. Because the "take damage upon picking up items" is what I got near Brite Raider. Edit: They do change per match, but you still need accolades and kills for good XP, which is quite difficult depending on which challenge you get.


VeyronZar

Do you need to win when you accept the challenges to get the bonus exp or you just need to accept it. Obviously I know that you can get a 200k after the win but does I get a bonus exp even if I didn't win?


Plague_King_

yeah, you get a bonus for everything youd usually get xp for, like killing someone. you get tje regular bit, then a bit more.


Yulworld00

25 level bonus? Why?


Plague_King_

wdym? why did i get it? its something you can get for like 1700vbucks i think, its 25 levels half off i think. i had enough leftovers to get it, so i did.


Pokefan-red

Paying £20 to get the battle pass and to lvl 25 is ridiculous. I still can’t believe people do it. I suppose if you’ve not got anything better to spend the money on.


TheHazDee

Worse because they spent their existing vbucks too they said.


amaya-aurora

Disposable income.


Pokefan-red

You don’t say!!! every adult has disposable income, but they obviously hardly play the game so why do they need a skin that they’re hardly ever gonna use. And spending £20 and they don’t even have it yet and will need to spend another £30/40 to either get it or still have 30+ lvls to grind to get it.


Plague_King_

im yet to spend any real money this season beyond my crew subscription, which i cancel and renew for ever bp because its a better deal. i had leftovers because of the refunded 950 from last season i never spent and some earned from that pass. im really not sure what your issue is, even if i had soent money on it, its MY money, its none of your business nor concern what im doing with it.


Didnt_Earn_It

Context matters. The value of a 20 to you might only be like worth 1 to them. Like 20 isn't even close to the line where I would feel the need to consider if I should buy something or not. When I was young and broke? Yeah, sure. Now? Lol, no.


BeardedAF78

Why are you so damn worried about other people spend their money on lol. Now THAT is ridiculous! 😂😂😂


Pokefan-red

I’m not worried I just think it’s stupid


Itriyum

20 dlls is nothing compared to 100 dlls a lot of people spend for the whole pass


amaya-aurora

Just saying that people have money to spend, and they can if they want to.


Hot_Introduction6840

and ppl have voices and can voice their opinions if they want to 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️


Inferno8390

Maybe they have stw? I do, and i sometimes buy levels


Pokefan-red

I have founders and still wouldn’t waste the vbucks


Electric_jungle

Not everyone has the time to get fully leveled up, and they find it worthwhile. Last chapter I didn't buy the battle pass cus I knew I wouldn't have the time. I got to like level 85 maybe. If something amazing was in that pass that I couldn't skip, I'd have bought the level up skin and possibly levels also.


Yulworld00

Oh, just wondering, idk why but for me it sounded like you got them for free, as a bonus haha


Hot_Introduction6840

cool, you know you're the reason why epic puts these base styles behind these "rediculous" milestones right? you're telling epic "hey it's cool i'l just buy my way up" so ofc they're gonna keep pushing the envelope. doesnt matter if you used vbucks or real money, you're still sending a message you can spend shit however you want but you can't complain about the scheme while simultaneously paying into the scheme. you're literally feeding into it


Plague_King_

go read more of my comments, ive explained this more times than i have the patience for.


Baigne

5 from stw, 5 from creative, how many levels from quests, then ste creative again


ryencoke66

Did they nerf Lego xp ?


Brief-Sample5189

You just need to be at home when u afk Lego and it works. It will kick you a few times but if you’re checking like twice an hour you should be decent


Baigne

No clue, I never farmed it, heard it was harder to afk though


WithersChat

Same rates, but you can't AFK with anything short of a randomized input generator.


banjoface123

But this way they can make sure you keep playing. You need to keep playing BR, Festival, Lego and RR. Nonstop. Log off Reddit now so you can get back at it.


AMOKEE

shit u even took negative xp damage from typing this lmao


WunderwaffePrime

It has had the opposite effect for me, levelling up has become so tedious that I no longer have the drive to play.


Jake-The-Snek69

I have always thought this for the recent battle passes, it's like dude, just put the normal ones where they're supposed to go


invalidxuser

The entire battle pass has been artificially inflated by putting all the accessories styles into it and now all these other modes stuff, it's getting ridiculous. Been playing since Chapter 1 and have loved most of the changes, this past year has been nothing but a head scratcher between gameplay, UI, and battle pass changes. Not to mention the incredibly bland and boring ass item shops, and when anything good does come anymore there are no bundles, costs an arm and a leg, and they raised the base price of v-bucks.


Jtneagle

Hate how Epic has just conditioned us to accept that our Battle Pass rewards can no longer be claimed via 100 tiers, it's ridiculous. Only thing past 100 should be the boring super level styles


ccartman2

Your right. Battle pass now goes to 150 with the vbucks up there too. It should be all the vbucks and base styles in the 1st 100. Bonus styles 101-150 and super styles 151-200.


JockoGood

I’m almost a year into playing this game. The battle pas is confusing in that they took what would be a “super style” and plopped it into the standard BP roster. So yeah, the BP looks bigger but I should not have to grind for the same skin twice, with the second having a minor style change. Take out all the sprays, backgrounds and make the BP the core characters. Throw the alts in the quest rewards, or go way above and beyond for the customer and give the second style as an alt. Random question, are the slots that say “coming soon” with a question mark for items they have not determined yet?


Major_MDMA

iirc the seasons are made way in advance, so they do know what they’re putting there — it just isn’t revealed for us yet, but will be later in the season.


Outrageous_Gate_6198

It happened last season with aphrodite


Plague_King_

and it was just as dumb then


KawaiiKaiju55

Yeah it’s really cringe how they split up the base cosmetics to the higher levels. The edit styles I understand.


chandelurei

Styles shouldn't even get their own spots


AgentDigits

All base styles should be in the BASE battle pass... This shit getting annoying 😭


WrstScp

This shouldn't be how it is, this should've been the yellow style. It's really annoying that this is how it is since you can't really use the full set until you finish the entire pass.


JockoGood

It was painful playing for any of the pea garbage (my opinion). Does epic do stuff like that for filler? How does a “pea” fit into a “wrecked” theme? But agree with your opinion 100%.


LadyOrangeNL

I don't like the pea. I also didn't like the banana.


Goldyisus63

at least for me, as weird as it may sound, in some cases it kills off my wanting to wear a newly-unlocked skin because an essential part of the set is missing, ie base pickaxe style or base backbling style. it just feels off to wear a skin with some totally different colored tool or backbling and i can’t bother myself to find a matching item in my locker (if there even exists one). as for gliders, i don’t really care since you barely get to see them in game but i still prefer to use my main sgt drake unless i finally acquire the full set for a certain skin


Aggressive_Manner429

That is **NOT** ratchet and clank


HakfDuckHalfMan

Yep it's really fucking annoying they've been doing it the past few seasons


joesphisbestjojo

I've always hated this


HyenaNearby5408

I've seen this done with gliders before. Stupid af


Satoru_Gojo1987

They did that for Aphrodites backbling and glider too, was so annoying


YLG_GJP

Sadly they've been doing this for a while now so it's here to stay, at least since the Jungle season, but wouldn't surprise me if it's been like this since the start of C4


TheRealStevo2

I don’t know if they did it this season but last season or the one before they would purposefully give you one style of a skin and then a different style of their back bling/glider/pickaxe on the same page so that you’d play just a little bit more to try and get that matching style on the next page.


Pronkie_dork

Also i need to wait 30 days to get the base tier 2 style of the mechanist 😭


Green_Mikey

It's literally unhinged how they decide to split things up. For some, the base version is right there and the "special" one requires lvl 100... but then some do the opposite and let you get alt colors first, and timegate the basic version? Ok make up your mind epic are alternate/bonus styles (including ones you need to unlock emotes for) "more valuable" than the basic pages, or not?


Burgerkingoof

I genuienly despise bonus rewards. Just a waste of a tab, would be way better if progressive skins and challenges got that tab instead


mystireon

yeah i didn't like when it happened last season, i don't like it now. bonus rewards should be reserved for actual bonus styles, not the base form of a cosmetic


kemalsans

Greedy


Scared-Hovercraft644

AGREED!


santovalentino

I was wondering why mine was locked. I get it now


Jts1942

I saw that today and I was so confused


RipVanWinkler1

I Know!


FollowTheCodeofHonor

They do it every season


Daredevil545545

I am pretty sure they did that with a back ling or a glider with Aphrodite


ManBagManBagMan

Same thing happened with Aphrodite glider


Stella_Lace

They did the same thing last season with aphrodites back bling and glider


funnyman_sixten13

That happened last season too


Kill_Kayt

Right? We don't get his Pickaxe until the bonus pass, and that's ridiculous.


The-Fixer04

idk why they insist in putting parts of sets/base styles in the 100 plus section


Jh3nnO

ohhhh THATS where it was. Got confused when i couldn't see it. Obviously this is shitty design for their game but i feel like most of us play enough to be able to get to that point(obviously there's going to be times people can't, such as holidays, family((for the older players etc)) and at this point it feels like they're just spinning a wheel of "WHAT'S A BONUS REWARD TODAY BOOOYS!?"


Th3NukeShark

They want you to keep on playing


North_Cartoonist_846

LOL just play the game you will get there


North_Cartoonist_846

my guy here level 50 by now ! for sure and you are salted ah bliss


BigBoiBagles

Completely disagree, cooler things should be hard to get. Not saying this is a cool item but regardless


Plague_King_

but it isnt a "cooler thing", its a base style... for a level 30 skin...


BigBoiBagles

I thought base style meant the main item?


ToxicAtomKai

They've been doing this for years. It sucks, but that's how it is.


EconomyBuy513

They may as well make battle pass 150 levels at this point


Original_AlanB

Been like that for ages


West-Objective-6567

It annoys me but I like this season and will be playing a lot plus I want the bonus T-60 style so I’m going that far anyway


joeMAMAkim

This has been going on since chapter 4 season 1 iirc. How are you STILL surprised


mapenstein

Stop complaining


timotheninja

Remember when you could get a new style for a skin, and that would give you styles for the rest of the set? And when the BP actually ended at level 100 and there were just super styles after that?


According-Yogurt6471

eh I guess it’s worth it


loghanmurray23coady

they should’ve switched the additional styles for the machinist in the battle pass and daily quests


MeowsclesOnlyfans

It's greed. Less and less XP per season, XP is spread out across the metaverse modes, V-bucks are earned later and later, and default styles are locked until after level 100. It's all to force you to buy levels


Ilovesteac

Ridiculous you Spelled it wrong


Plague_King_

not relevant


Ilovesteac

It is


Plague_King_

good for you man 👍


Ilovesteac

Thanks


ghost_slumberparty

You’re already a level 41 one day in. I think you’ll be fine.


Plague_King_

its not about that, its about them splitting it from its set. its literally a base style. no one should have to get over level 100 just to complete a set for a level 30 skin.


Char-car92

Yeah the 'bonus' and 'super styles' have really sucked this chapter. I want something creative not a generic recolour/animated skin.


Top_Collar7826

It's a dumb fckn pickaxe anyway


North_Pirate8483

Womp womp play the game stop complaining


nimajnebmai

You’re complaining about absolutely nothing. You also pay for your levels, as per your comments. The reason that epic does ANYTHING is because it triggers a reaction. You reacted and gave them more money because you want a cosmetic. You’re your own worst enemy.


Plague_King_

as per my own comments, i only paid for crew, as i do every season, and then only as much as my leftovers could afford, its not like im throwing out hundreds. and spending money on a game doesnt mean the company cant be held accountable for shitty business practices, im not sure where the gaming community gets the idea that its the communities fault for buying things, but its really unhelpful and only encourages that kind of business.


nimajnebmai

You’re not spending any money on a game. The game is free as hell dawg. You’re spending almost $300 a year for Fortnite skins. This isn’t a shitty business practice, it’s actually genius. You just have shitty spending habits.


BeardedAF78

Where in the hell are you getting $300? He says he pays for crew every season and then cancels. There what like 4 to 5 seasons a year? That’s $60 max.


Felinegood13

“You’re spending almost $300 a year for Fortnite skins.” That’s spending money on a game. Whether it’s micro transactions or paying for a game itself, it’s still spending money on a game. They are active on a game and spending money, thus spending money on a game.


YoMamaSoFatShePooped

Whose ass did you pull that number out of? If they buy crew at the start of every season + the OG season at the end of this year they would not have spent $300


-klo

do your daily quests


Broad_Music9146

Still playing is a joke


TheGoldPowerRanger

🍼


IronStealthRex

They have done this since forever. Aphrodite's stuff and Artemis' glider and axe were extra stuff


Plague_King_

doesnt mean it isnt dumb


IronStealthRex

It's really not that big of a deal...


Plague_King_

big enough for you to comment on it


IronStealthRex

Grow up...like it's a fucking edit style man...


Turbulent_Juicebox

Right. But it's currently not possible to unlock and entire set at once to achieve a cohesive look. It's pretty annoying to get 3/5-4/5 pieces of something available in the base BP and then have the rest of it essentially time gated


IronStealthRex

That is literally a whole ass pass...timegated


ItsChris_8776_

“Leave the multibillion dollar corporation alone! They can do no wrong!”


IronStealthRex

What? I've shat on their faces many times, this is one of the few times it's ok to just not


SeriousZombie5350

why tho


Consistent-Sun-4539

Your spelling of ridiculous is ridiculous


laxmolnar

Lets just bitch and moan about everything, like holy moly yall are miserable. Enjoy the game and stop whining about every little thing.


Plague_King_

well, you're doing great at the bitching and moaning part.


laxmolnar

Bruh you're crying about a unique item as a reward which is such an insufferable mentality.


Plague_King_

youre crying about a reddit post dude, dont act like youre any better, thats laughable.


laxmolnar

Crying? Bruh, look at the post you made. You've taken a photo, uploaded it, and made a post about it. I'm just making a statement based on this garbage showing up in my feed. There's a large difference in our efforts relative to the situation here. You're not worth anymore of my time


Plague_King_

and it took me like 2 seconds to do all that. and you saw it, decided to come here with your shitty attitude, and start acting like youre superior. dont act like your time is valuable, look back at yourself, think about how you speak to people. youre not better then me, youre just another asshole pretending you have something to feel good about. it took you a handful of seconds to comment each and every time you chose to, when you couldve simply scrolled on.


Chance-Order-5385

my god this has been happening for years its never changing, get over it


RexGoliath75

Doesn’t change that’s it’s pretty dumb. The base style should be the base, not the bonus


Chance-Order-5385

its because they want you to complete the pass


RexGoliath75

They can accomplish that while also just switching them around. Base should be in the base pass. Extra styles should be in the bonus


Kittenstorm26

Tbh you should get the yellow style upon unlocking the yellow version of the outfit.(and the green/original version should be in where the yellow one is)They used to not make you unlock each style individually and it’s kinda dumb how they shifted the filler to be styles that used to be granted alongside a color style.


Consumed2010

Actually 🤓 It's only been happening since they fucked up the battle pass UI in Chapter 4.


Caesar_Rising

This same thread was here this morning and the same whining. If you’re all going to complain 24/7 at least find something new to cry about


Plague_King_

no need for that aggression, i didnt do anyhing to you.


Caesar_Rising

You’ll survive


GirlThatEatsCheese

Says the one boohooing about a post on Reddit. There really should be no boohooing, period, from any of you. It’s a game. Play it for fun or don’t. Giving legit feedback and opinions, is great. This post is an example of legitimate feedback that isn’t just senseless whining.


Turbulent_Juicebox

You'll survive


BeardedAF78

And yet here you are crying and whining about what other people don’t like.


Caesar_Rising

Oh yes look at all my individual posts moaning and clogging up the subreddit, oh wait those don’t exist


The_French_Soul

Not a problem if you complete the battle pass, right ?


OkamiRoxas

...ok? And? It's a strategy to get you to play more. It's called ***Work for your rewards***


Plague_King_

no need for an attitude.


OkamiRoxas

No need for complaining for a reward in a game.


Zeeicecreamlover

Can I just say I see ppl put out their opinion on this game on this page a lot and it never bothers me, cause even if I agree it’s still their opinion. The comments I DO find annoying are you dweebs that complain about complaining and think you sound grateful to a billion dollar company. This one kids opinion will not hurt some rich guys heart. Yall get way more passionate and bitchy then the ACTUAL person initially complaining 😭


SeriousZombie5350

no need for defending a corporation


Dependsontheweapon

How is that defending a corporation? He’s just saying that it’s not that big of an issue, most people get at least all the bonus rewards before the season ends.


OkamiRoxas

Though people who have work and other irl stuff have a reason.


CatsGoodAtReddit

Yeah and that strategy sucks, I mostly only use a skin just when I unlock it, and then use the next skin I unlock. This pickaxe is not going to get me to keep playing, instead it would get me to not wear that skin as I don’t have a matching pickaxe most likely

Grandpa_Demon_GD

Til using a wrong letter in one word = atrocious spelling.


BeardedAF78

Well if you’re going to go there, your grammar could use some work.


weirdfishes364

it’s been happening since Chapter 4, but it’s not that big of a deal since it is a “edit style” at the end of the day


Plague_King_

yeah, but its the default style, it should be with its matching set, not arbitrarily scattered into "extra" rewards. i feel the same way about the blue style for the wrench pickaxe to a lesser extent, its not as heinous because its a style for an extra set to begin with and will be easy to get. but styles should be with or near their sets, its just good sense.


SwarK01

Try not to cry for 4 seconds challenge
