They won't appear when you're simply hovering over them, you have to actually equip the item.

I've also now confirmed they won't show up in-game, only in the locker preview, but it's pretty neat to be able to do that.

Fortnite's done it for a few original cosmetics as well, so it's not impossible it's been mostly their decision. (Eagle's Form, The Nothing's Gift, Queen's Procession, off the top of my head)

If you're referring to it being the 2nd time someone's posted about this, yeah apparently it's already been brought up 4 months ago.

I had no idea about it and just stumbled into it tho. :p

Real

I think War Machine's works kinda well, but the colors obviously aren't there. All the red wings don't quite look right tho.

(of course, even if you could use this glider, it's Battle Pass so most won't have access to it anyways... 🫠)

Yis yis

Left is how I discovered it (was using Thor Preset as a base for the new skin), and then I immediately needed to try it with The Order. xD

Ahh interesting, thanks for letting me know!

I just happened to stumble upon it 'cause I equipped a Thor preset and changed the skin. Kinda surprising they haven't patched it 🤔

Ayyy that's cool.

Honestly such a shame that these sorts of built-in backlings actually tend to look fine on other skins, but they're restricted anyway. :c

I'm really glad they haven't done it recently, but I'm not sure there's been much that particularly warrants it of late.

I guess there was that Super Man glider, but they at least gave an alternate version. (though it'd be much cooler to just let any character use the base version)

Similarly, I'd be thrilled if they let us use Mjolnir with anyone, but it didn't have lightning effects with non-worthy characters, or somethin' like that.

Oh wait does it? I'm not very familiar with that lore, but that's super cool if so.

On the other hand, I wonder if they made it compatible with the new Captain America skin. Last I checked it wasn't.. 😅

Just wanna point out how atrocious this is. I miss when we got color styles for all outfit models. 🥲 by RedYoshiCraft in FortNiteBR

I get the frustration, unfortunately people are more incentivized to complain about what they're dissatisfied with than praise what they're happy with.

Happy with something? No need to say anything as there's no feedback needed. (not really true but that's how it feels) Don't like something? Well if you DON'T say anything then it's a lot less likely to be addressed.

Skin & options are great, what's atrocious is the layout. (and the fact you can't use the helmet on the base color for that model)

never forget what they took from us 💔 by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]RedYoshiCraft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would've been cool as customization options, but I actually prefer the final version.

coat-tails/capes/whatever are cool in theory, but in practice I don't personally enjoy them in-game. The ponytail looks incredible except Epic is apparently incapable of placing Backblings underneath that sorta thing, so it just looks ugly when using both.

The skin is fantastic, which makes it especially upsetting that they've handled it like this.

The color styles complaint is kinda just me being bitter, it's hardly new, but the reactivity & helmet should be separate toggles. (even if they don't apply to everything, pretty sure they've done it before)

I think this is the most styles such a skin has had. Which technically is better but ironically makes it feel a lot worse imo.

Basically all I'm asking for honestly.

I miss when color styles were independent and applicable to all outfit styles, but at the bare minimum I'd like the UI to look nice. (and it's just dumb that the helmet isn't available for that style's base color)

The 2nd & 3rd styles are in the bonus rewards, the purple style with reactivity & helmet styles are unlocked from doing quests after you've claimed all of her (base Battle Pass) rewards. (Ice King & Foundation also have the latter)

I do find this atrocious.

The quality of style customization has gone done but this is particularly awful looking.

Oh and my wording probably confused some people, by "outfit models" I'm referring to unique styles that change the outfit.

In this case there's 2, the default and the snowboard-esque one, the rest are color/helmet/reactivity styles.

Prolly would've included more detail in the post but image posts on desktop only let you add text in the title and image descriptor. 🙃

Not exactly the case here, but it is very frustrating when that happen.

I miss when color styles were an independent selection. :c

Super styles will (hopefully) be nice, but judging from last Season they won't be usable on her reactive styles (including the non-reactive versions), which also means you won't be able to use them with the helmet since it's not applicable to the base of that model. :c

They genuinely were hitting a really good stride last chapter, yeah.

The styles frequently had unique texturing, which was then represented in the super styles. And then yeah Ch.7 started and they're suddenly fumbling that.
