The only things more bizarre than Fortnite’s recent skin bans are the apparent explanations for those bans.
In case you didnt know, character skins are an important part of the entireFortniteexperience.
More than mere cosmetics,Fortnites various character skins have helped establish the games personality.
Acquiring them has become nearly as competitive as acquiring weapons and items in other battle royale titles.
More importantly, those skins have helped earnFortnite developer Epic Games aridiculous amount of moneyover the years.
Thats because many ofFortnites most popular character skins are based on existing properties.
Its effectively been the backbone of the games economy.
What some initially considered to be a glitch turned out to be an intentional part of the update.
Yet, there was little communication about what was happening or why it was happening now.
So, what gives?
So which skins are banned inFortnite?
The gun rule also applies to things like sprays, gliders, and other cosmetics.
Bizarrely, characters who have grenades or other explosives on them are also not currently impacted.
Its not just guns, though.
Some cosmetics that dont feature a gun on them are also banned as part of this new initiative.
Said cosmetics include character skins like Venom and Carnage.
They do not impact the games major modes and will likely not directly impact the majority of players.
Mind you, Im just talking about the broad strokes of this entire approach.
There is much more to say about the often baffling specifics regarding what is and isnt banned.
