From Lara Croft to Predator, there’s this universal sense of nostalgia in Fortnite community for those ‘could-have-been’ battle pass skins. This sentiment resonates loud and clear in an online discussion, as players recount which skins they wish they could get but missed due to joining in later seasons.

Shared Sentiments

  • Missing out on early Fortnite skins fuels player’s passion and fuels discussions
  • Varying degrees of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) present in the community
  • Individual skin preferences vary, films and comics’ characters are fan favorites

Indulging in Nostalgia

There’s an endearing longing in Brick_Forest’s comment, aching for the likes of Predator and Lara Croft. Moreover, tzomby1’s appreciation of Dusty shows how much character designs can resonate with the players. Let’s not forget FrostySecurity2’s ultimate list that spans from Doctor Doom to Optimus Prime.

Countering the FOMO

Not everyone was wallowing in nostalgia though. A counter-argument appears in Effective-Interest28‘s viewpoint who advocates enjoying the owned skins rather than worrying about the ones missed. It’s like not seeing the skins for the closet, folks!

Resonating Frustrations

Oh, the universe can be cruel! angelnike shares a pinch of regret for not buying the Battle Pass despite participating in that season and missing out on Eren. More angst can be felt in Val_0ates’ comment about Lara Croft. It’s an epic tale of shoulda, woulda, coulda!

Lamenting missed opportunities sure makes for engaging conversation! What comes out clearly from this spectrum of anecdotes is the power of character design in Fortnite and the passion each player brings to their skirmishing experience. One might even say, ‘Once a Fortnite player, always a Fortnite fan!’
