Epic Games wants everyone to enjoy Fortnite Battle Royale, which is largely the reason it is a free-to-play game. The only element involving micro-transactions in the game is cosmetics. People can purchase a wide range of skins and other cosmetics to make their games more visually appealing. Unfortunately, not everyone can spend money on in-game cosmetics.An awesome range of default characters is available for new players and those who cannot purchase skins. In every chapter, Epic Games adds a few characters that are randomly allotted to players as default skins. However, there are always some players who want to play as default skins from previous chapters.To cater to the demands of the community, Epic Games is once again releasing default skins in the item shop. This time, Fortnite Chapter 2 default skins are available as part of the 'Recruit Redux Set' in the Item Shop. These skins were once completely free but will now cost players V-Bucks to use.Fortnite Chapter 2 default skins are up for salePreviously, Epic Games had released the Chapter 1 default skins in the Item Shop after many players asked for these skins to continue existing in the game. Most people would find it absurd to spend money on something that was once free. However, Epic Games has done it yet again by asking for cash in return for free skins.Keeping the aspirations for the Fortnite Metaverse aside, selling free skins in the Item Shop is certainly an insult to free-to-play players. Although the developers try everything to ensure every player can enjoy its Battle Royale game, Loopers clearly find purchasing free skins absurd.Fortnite@FortniteGameBring it back with the trusted two's!
