Fortnite fans are upset over the game’s removal of cosmetic item rarities, which graded the game’s vast vault of character skins, pickaxes, back blings and so forth with various different ‘quality’ levels.
Typically, these tiers have also corresponded to how much cosmetics cost in the game’s item shop – with Uncommon (green) skins typically 800 V-Bucks, Rare (blue) typically 1200 V-Bucks, Epic (purple) typically 1500 V-Bucks and Legendary (gold) typically 2000 V-Bucks.
In a blog post yesterday, Fortnite acknowledged the disappearance of item rarities thus: “The Shop has evolved significantly to support multiple types of cosmetics and items across games, so we’re retiring the old Battle Royale-inspired system of colors and tags for cosmetic quality.”
