Fortnite Has A Crossover Problem (But Can Fix It)

A man riding a skateboard down a streetFinally, for the bonus skin of this season, Indiana Jones is finally making his debut in Fortnite . With even a reference to one of the movies shown in the back bling - Expedition Back Pack. This little easter egg features a golden Tomato, with reference to the Raiders of the Lost Arc movie, when our favorite explorer swipes the Golden Idol from the podium and is then chased out of the tomb by a giant boul

Doctor Strange was recently added to Fortnite , but his DC counterpart may be the more interesting choice to join the game. Doctor Fate was first introduced in 1940's More Fun Comics #55 , predating Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme by many years. Kent Nelson first became Doctor Fate when he and his father discovered an ancient tomb belonging to the Mesopotamian deity, Nabu. Though Kent's father was killed by the tomb's poison gasses, Nabu took in Kent and trained him in the mystic arts and transforming him into Doctor Fate, one of the world's greatest sorcerers. The character has since appeared in both the DC Animated Universe and the Young Justice animated series, with a big-screen appearance in the DCEU next in l

The Battle Pass features a range of items that can be used in-game from skins, pickaxes, weapon wraps, back blings, banner icons, emoticons, emotes, and even V-Bucks, which can be spent in the Fortnite live Event Item Shop on newly released items. However, players may also choose to save up the V-Bucks they earn throughout the season as the pass allows enough to be saved up and then used again to buy the Battle-Pass for the next upcoming season. This way, no out-of-game cash will have to be spent on the next season's pass if players wish to purchase

But what makes these take the cake as one of Fortnite 's scariest skins is the alternative styles that come with the skin. The face-painted versions of Peekaboo are creepy enough as it is, but the big-headed mascot versions are much, much worse . Nightcaps, hair frozen into horns, and protruding teeth and the eyes just seal the deal. With terrifying swirls instead of pupils, there's no question that these clowns aren't quite human. There are instances in gaming in which clowns aren't evil but this might not be the c

The hit Battle Royale game **Fortnite ** has crossovers with a lot of media, and although it's starting to become a problem, it's one that it can fix. From Avengers to Rick and Morty , there are oodles of character skins in-game for players to use while they're duking it out on the island. Not all of them add to the game, however, and the vast multitude of different characters arguably detract from the gamep

Fortnite has a lot of crossovers, to say the least. Marvel and DC are some of the biggest, and most well-represented, franchises on the Battle Bus, but they're far from the only ones. Lara Croft, Stranger Things ' Demogorgon, and The Walking Dead 's Rick Grimes are just a few examples of the different skins that players can use in-game. The list has only grown as time goes on, and the question of who will be next is always coming up. Some, like Batman and Wolverine, are pretty cool-looking, even if they're a bit out of place. Others, however, like Rick Sanchez of Rick and Morty , don't transition well to Fortnite due to the aesthetic transition between a two-dimensional cartoon to a three-dimensional game. Some Fortnite skins like the Prowler can be unlocked by completing challenges, but others require players to purchase the season's latest Battle P

If Fortnite did make less crossovers, then that would give it more resources to work on its original content. Original characters, storylines, and features have been a bit silly in the past; Peely and the Klombos come to mind. Things like Fortnite 's armored Battle Bus aren't a problem, however, and there's nothing wrong with the game being a little silly. In a time where video games are getting more and more serious, it's refreshing that some choose to offer a whimsical experience, especially when it's a big name like Fortnite . New features and original content, no matter how silly, could be better for the game than an endless string of crossovers, especially since they're making it more than a little silly besi

Evie and Snap are the first two skins to be seen within the Fortnite Battle Pass alongside Evies matching accessories, her dual pistol back bling, and pickaxes. This skin follows a theme of blue and red which also can be seen on the bottom of Evie's shoes. The Snap Skin is Fortnite's customizable skin in which players can unlock different limb and hed styles by collecting tokens dotted around the Fortnite

That's before even touching on the face, hidden behind a metallic gas mask with blank, insectile eyes . The Chaos Agent could be planning anything behind a mask like that, and with "Chaos" right in its name, it's a pretty safe bet that the plans aren't good. The unmasked Goopy style shows just how bad things can be under the surf

Lightsabers could also be returning to Fortnite in more ways than one. They could be included as purchasable pickaxes that players can use indefinitely once lightsabers are eventually taken out of the game again. After Fortnite released its No-Build mode , some players ended up returning to the game. Adding in the iconic sci-fi weapons along with a major Star Wars crossover would be a great way to ensure more end up stay
