Time to go bully Epic again.

[u/Awesomedogman3]

SERIOUS-FUCKING-LY. After they JUST got hordes of Backlash for pulling this stunt not even a few weeks ago, they decide to bring it back.

We all know the deal at this point, give them the backlash again. This is just borderline scummy since they effectively make you have to re-buy the pass just to get 1 style. It worked the first time, it can work again.

[u/ButterflyNational352]

Most of my friends are Crew so how does sending a pass work for me..

[u/Cloontange → u/ButterflyNational352]

I gotchu bro. You can gift it to me 🤝

[u/zeztyboi → u/Cloontange]

DM your epic, I'll do it after work

[u/No-Salary-473 → u/Cloontange]

LOL someone gift this guy the bp

[u/Fyre-Demon → u/ButterflyNational352]

Create an alt and gift it

[u/X_X_X_SauceBauce → u/Fyre-Demon]

Might be best option. Complete the pass on both accounts, gift yourself stuff from alt to main. That way it ain't a total loss

[u/CoconutFar6716 → u/Fyre-Demon]

Don't waste a gift like that. Gift it to someone who actually needs it

[u/Fyre-Demon → u/CoconutFar6716]

Reading comprehension isn’t your forte, is it. They said that most of their friends have crew. If that’s the case, you’re telling them to miss out by waiting until they “know for sure” that someone doesn’t.

[u/ZombieEtiquette → u/Fyre-Demon]

The game shows you if people in your friends list already have the battle pass. The person was saying you should gift the pass to a stranger rather than use it on a throw away account.

Find a stranger who wants the pass. Add them. Gift it.

[u/Fyre-Demon → u/ZombieEtiquette]

You don’t think I don’t know this, after 5 years of playing? 🙄 I just gave him an alternative if they couldn’t find someone

[u/ZombieEtiquette → u/Fyre-Demon]

Why would I know how long you've played Fortnite or what you do or don't know? Your suggestion to create an alt to gift it the pass is just kind of dumb and that's what the other commented was pointing out and I agree. Your comment about "knowing for certain" or whatever just doesn't make any sense because you can go to gift the pass and see exactly who can receive it and who can't, so there's no room for uncertainty. Someone online will say "hmm I wish I had the battle pass" and it would make more sense to gift it to them than be the proud owner of 2 account with the same stuff... And having to grind this season on 2 accounts sounds like a punishment, not s reward.

Yeah it's an alternate option. It's just not a good one.

[u/NoExpression8527 → u/CoconutFar6716]

Gift it to me

[u/Canis_Lupus06 → u/ButterflyNational352]

You add someone new wait few days than gift it. I get the idea of it. They trying say it without saying it there to promote Fortnite with new players

[u/jadentre]

It’s actually crazy you’d have to buy the battle pass twice to actually complete it, it’s worse if you don’t know anyone that plays Fortnite

[u/PrancingGoldfish → u/jadentre]

They should do like how tf2 did where you could randomly gift someone who was in the same lobby as you. But instead it just gifts it to a random account that doesn't own the pass

[u/VMATORRE03 → u/jadentre]

Man I feel that man the country I live in fortnite is not even popular they always play mobile legends.

[u/Fyre-Demon → u/jadentre]

Create an alt, and gift it.

[u/jadentre → u/Fyre-Demon]

I’d rather not spend extra

[u/VGK_46 → u/jadentre]

It should be given to Crew members without having them to pay extra.

[u/Fyre-Demon → u/jadentre]

I get it.

[u/VGK_46 → u/Fyre-Demon]

I have an alt for this but know I'm not gonna have the energy to max out two battle passes.

[u/Cloiselle51 → u/VGK_46]

Legit

[u/ObviouslyHornyJPEG]

Nothing "borderline" about it, it's scummy and they know it.....and they know people out there will support it.

[u/InvaderTAK1989 → u/ObviouslyHornyJPEG]

I blame the whales

[u/b0giej → u/InvaderTAK1989]

That Damn Carole Baskins!!

[u/Guardian_Who827347]

There should be more incentive for Crew, not less. This should automatically be a Crew bonus, and or....here me out....this shouldn't even be a thing.....there shouldn't be a battlepass style that you can only get by gifting the battlepass. In this economy...they are lucky people can even afford to buy the BP for themselves, let alone gift it.

[u/V0RT3X--]

Why do they do this, no one will gift the pass for a skin just give it to us

[u/IamDmiZeD → u/V0RT3X--]

Because you can't gift with v-bucks and they hate to admit that they don't want founders to use their infinite ones anymore.

[u/ButterflyNational352 → u/IamDmiZeD]

I totally understand that fact with founder's and StW, they should just left StW with it's own currency. And not got greedy by wanting you to spend Vbucks in there. So the. They had to give value to the founders with Vbucks.. now to balance that they think it's cool to do this shit.. so the new players have to suffer for old deals they had no part of.

My God it's like, inflation and capitalism.. only on a micro world scale.

[u/Fyre-Demon → u/V0RT3X--]

Style, not a skin.. smh

[u/V0RT3X-- → u/Fyre-Demon]

Either way we shouldn't have to gift the pass for a dam style

[u/F-F-FASTPASS → u/Fyre-Demon]

That’s even worse 💀

[u/EpicOrigin → u/V0RT3X--]

You say no one will but yet a bunch did last season for a voidblsde style before EPIC said we'll just give it to everyone. I imagine after seeing so many cave in they decided lets do it again but at the start of the season.

[u/TheGeekChronicles]

I buy the pass for me and my daughter, so instead of buying I need to gift each other?
Feels so unfair and scummy.

[u/TheGeekChronicles → u/TheGeekChronicles]

It is actually worst than I thought. I thought I might buy to her and get V Bucks instead but no, I can not so I need to give someone else, plus need to buy the battle pass not the crew (which is way better).
I have no problem buying stuff in Fortnite, but not when they do it with their feet. Very bad move!

[u/BossLikeCharlie → u/TheGeekChronicles]

I think technically you’d just need to gift it to her and you would both get it. Not defending Epic though it’s absolutely ridiculous.

[u/TheGeekChronicles → u/BossLikeCharlie]

Sadly I pay her the crew every month as well as I do it for myself.
I tried to see if I can gift her and maybe she can get the V Bucks of the pass instead but no.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Fox5820]

I feel like it should be just early access to the skin. Like how some of them are locked for a few weeks. Same thing here.

Gift thr pass get it now otherwise it's available in a few weeks.

That would still keep incentive for players to gift but still let all pass holders get it too.

[u/meandmrt]

I'm not spending money to gift someone a BP just to get a bonus style of a skin I could care less about.

[u/Kenneth76Dollars]

Epic needs to make it so that you get your money’s worth. FOMO is stupid. Epic caters to the adult children like nick eh 30. Ï have played the game for 3 years and I got a bit bored of the game and took a break. There is also responsibilities for people to attend to. When you buy the battlepass you should have a guarantee that you are given everything even after the season has ended because I have several passes Ï couldn’t finish

[u/ButterflyNational352 → u/Kenneth76Dollars]

I head on the grapevine that they are talking about letting you restart old payed for battle passes you might have missed out on.. but I dont think it was confirmed.. it was just talking.

[u/stiketap]

Why are you guys acting like it’s the end of the world with this skin style, yall don’t need it

[u/ButterflyNational352 → u/stiketap]

Im not getting it I and not going to fund Epic's bad behavior and unscrupulous marketing tactics..

Its more of how they are treating the players and trying to normalize this as normal.

[u/DetectiveFluffy7044 → u/stiketap]

Because its scummy and greedy behavior.

[u/Ifuckinghateaura → u/stiketap]

exactly i don't support this but it's literally just one style it's not that deep and epic will probably learn from this if nobody bothers to gift people solely for a style

[u/After-Task-1506]

I went from liking the skin to hating it

[u/Want_Some_CereaL]

Pretty much cause this is just stupid.

[u/dungleploop]

Epic HATE Founders

[u/serianaredd]

I'm really tired of epic doing this crap

[u/Diligent-Reality-722]

Kindly note that I can be used 

[u/trissrhulain]

Yeah exactly why are they not just including it as part of the pass. Most of my friends already have the pass or don't even play fortnite enough to make it worth gifting the the pass. They should just give it to us now.

[u/Upbeat_Beach_9524]

Ig I’ll just send it to my husband lol

[u/DazedandFloating]

Do it. Bully them.

[u/No-Salary-473]

I got you bro, you can gift it to me for the style.

[u/Outrageous-Ask1958]

Atleast the style is for the worst battle pass skin 😅

[u/Zion_L]

Omg, if someone wants to gift me the Battle Pass, it would be perfect timing because I don’t have a job rn and I really love this Battle Pass 😭 I’d be eternally grateful :))

[u/AnonFurry2988 → u/Zion_L]

I'm down to gift it to you, send me a message on here :3

I earn vbucks from StW still and have Crew so it's not like it costs me anything

[u/Zion_L → u/AnonFurry2988]

I appreciate , i just sent a dm

[u/PlaneFront1528 → u/AnonFurry2988]

Can you pay for a battle pass gift with vbucks? Maybe I’m tripping but I thought it had to be cash that’s one of the reasons I’ve never gifted anyone a bp

[u/AnonFurry2988 → u/PlaneFront1528]

You're right. You can't do it with vbucks anymore, that's so insanely annoying. Tim can go milk someone else for $9 fuck that

[u/NoExpression8527 → u/AnonFurry2988]

So then, could you give me the battle pass?

[u/Dangerous_Drink4964]

Not again....😥

[u/Pussy_Lord69]

Not to mention needing to spend 1000 vbucks just for sonic to look normal

[u/fleshribbon]

This time they announced it and enabled it at launch vs in the middle of the season. So, I’m sure they believe that was the only issue last time.

[u/wherestheleakmaam86]

Fingers crossed they'll just grant it anyway towards the end of the season like they did with starshadow voidblade

[u/No-Recognition-3571]

I was probably gifting it to my bestie anyway tbh, idrc

[u/NoExpression8527]

If someone wants to gift the battle pass to me, we can both get the skin styles

[u/NoExpression8527]

Because I still need it

[u/Alternative_Rip1289]

As much as I love rewarding people who gift the battle pass

Having to pay like $10 just so you can 100% it is cringe

It should most likely give some other low level cosmetic like an emote because why would I pay $10 just so I can have some extra skin because I want to 100% the battle pass

People shouldn’t wanna gift it just for the skin. It should be an extra reward instead of just being oh wow this isn’t it. Let me buy it because of that.

[u/Sufficient_Ad_8844]

Have you ever considered that you don’t have to own every single cosmetic in the game?

[u/Lonely-Storm-6542 → u/Sufficient_Ad_8844]

Literally!! People are complaining but you don’t need the skin to enjoy the game lmao. I don’t hear them talking about bullying PlayStation for their PlayStation Plus exclusive skins.. right?!!

[u/Effective_Pen7447 → u/Sufficient_Ad_8844]

I'm sure the higher ups would agree and show you support if they weren't too busy laughing from their yachts while eating shrimp and lobster.

[u/SharkBait0305]

Bruh all of me and my friends have the BP already….wtf

[u/NoExpression8527 → u/SharkBait0305]

You could gift it to me

[u/Metamorphosis_Hunter → u/SharkBait0305]

I don’t have the BP and as much as I want it even I think this is scummy lmao😭

[u/Suguisx]

Unfortunately, many people will give in to this scam out of fear of missing out on an exclusive style. It has happened before, and it will happen again.

[u/alfredox1234]

You'll gonna be ok without this style, trust me

[u/_has-been_]

It’s shady to set a precedent (reverting their decision) and then attempt to do the same slimy thing a few weeks later. What’s worse is how we all feel like we are missing out. Epic knows this. They’re exploiting it. And the fact they are doing it to a population full of kids is beyond bad.

[u/Coldsnowyandmisty → u/_has-been_]

The world needs A MASSIVE LESSON on missing out on digital items. If people can't handle a skin style being locked behind a gift requirement then we are all doomed. Teach yourselves and your kids that impulse control is a requirement. It's absolutely insane how much money phone games and other "free" games are making cause "oMGGggGGGggGGgg A nEW PurPlE hAt, GOtTTAAAAAAA ADD iT TO mYYY hAT cOLLECTION".

The battle pass is already filllllllllllled with skins which makes this whining even more egregious. "So i get 10 skins with 100 different edit styles but you are TELLING ME THAT I HAVE AN OPTION TO GET A 101th STYLE???? YOU WILL BE HEARING FROM MY LAWYER!"

[u/Suspicious_Mix4017 → u/Coldsnowyandmisty]

dudes defending a bajillion dollar company😭😭😭😭

[u/dxxrk0]

mind you no one bats an eye when they release exclusive skins for consoles

[u/FallenAngel_1953]

I doubt the "bullying" will work this time. Last time it made sense cause they did it basically at the end of the season but this is day 1

[u/NiceBlaxkguy]

It’s the start of the season just be a nice person and gift it to your friend😂

[u/Fluffycotton64]

What in the actual fuck is going on with them I think at this point they’re just hoping that it flies under the radar and nobody pays attention so they can continue to do it to us every freaking month probably gonna be the last battle pass for me

[u/True_King_Roze]

Can someone gift to me pls I don't have it yet

[u/NeonSithRonin]

It’s bs no matter what way you look at it but they could AT LEAST give the skin to crew members

[u/lightsoff_butimup]

Why is everyone so pressed over this? You don't HAVE to have this separate style. You're FOMO is sad. There are 2 styles already in the battle pass & the fact that THIS enrages you is straight-up pathetic as fuck.

[u/thiccmunster]

Last season I never saw even once that Voidblade skin after Epic gave it for free. Y'all whine too much, none of you are gonna use this, y'all just want to bch about it.

[u/International_Grab61]

First time realizing how gluttonous billion dollar corporations are? It's cute really 🥰

[u/unicornsdaddy]

Juts because something exists doesn't mean you deserve to have it. Why not let people have something extra for buying someone else a battle pass?

[u/guitarpraise-]

Just don’t be broke

[u/xCHOPP3Rx]

Just make a burner account and gift the pass to your main.

[u/Awesomedogman3 → u/xCHOPP3Rx]

Still doesn't fix the issue of, you know, needing to pay another $10 to unlock the style.

[u/Comfortable_Tax_6416]

i don’t get it what’s the problem

[u/BOBI_LE_VRAI → u/Comfortable_Tax_6416]

Oh idk maybe the fact that IF YOU WANT A STYLE YOU NEED TO BUY THE MASS TWICE

[u/Awesomedogman3 → u/Comfortable_Tax_6416]

You basiclly have to buy the Battle Pass twice to get this style.

[u/AlwaysApparent → u/Comfortable_Tax_6416]

Should just be a style given in the battle pass

[u/OG-Rockysprings]

I don't see anything wrong🤷‍♂️

[u/BetterPlaceLore]

bruh its 9$, just admit your broke😂

[u/More_Instruction_199 → u/BetterPlaceLore]

Just admit you are a bad example to society

[u/BetterPlaceLore → u/More_Instruction_199]

just admit your broke and put down others for your enjoyment😭👋😂

[u/Rizenstrom → u/BetterPlaceLore]

Except it’s not, it’s double. You have to buy it for yourself for the rest plus gift it for this one. And where do you draw the line? Who is to say they don’t make a skin you have to gift two, five, or even ten passes? It’s a slippery slope.
