worst part they didnt mention anything until 3 and a half hours after the skin came out thats the scummy part imagine spending your christmas moeny for the skin and now can only refund it for vbucks not money like its straight up against the law
@@Ashlegorenegade raider and aerial assault troop where never said to be exclusive the shop changed when the first battle pass came out they removed the level up and unlock item shop rewards but they brought it back meaning the skins can be obtained again
This is legit false advertising, if they get sued by FTC or anyone of that sort it's on them. Refunding vbucks without taking a ticket really doesn't cut it here. What about people who paid real money to buy vbucks specifically for this skin? The fact it was gone so long and then they brought it back so soon after a TOS update is extremely shady too. No warning beforehand, just completely pulled the rug from under their customers. Also people who legit asked to get the console because of that style now, or the folks who got the bundle gifted from their parents or anyone just to find out you ain't getting it at all, this is leading to a spiral Also, it's not consumer friendly to make the set return to the shop without giving a proper heads-up that the style won't return with it. This is just another time proving why Fortnite never will win any Community Voice, Support or any of it sort reward. They knew what they're doing
I hate this mentality of "you should be grateful for them bringing back the skin." No, THEY should be grateful that people are willing to give them money for what is effectively overpriced overlays. I am not going to go "Oh thank you multi-billion dollar corporation for giving me the chance to pay full price for this overpriced cosmetic and be denied access to it's full content because I didn't buy it almost 1000 days ago!". As far as I am concerned either bring it back complete, drop the price to reflect the decreased access to the content (Especially since Vbucks have gone up in price), or not re-release it at all
@@ErykRoll "OG" (stupid repellant) styles exist to keep the stupidity out of the game "omg why is my old skin back in game with NO compensation I NEED compensation epic why did you re-release this original non-collab skin 😭" OG styles are there for the grown adults and children that completely LOSE IT when their pixels return.
This is what people defending this are not getting, If they let us know BEFORE that it's no longer available then we would could chose not to buy it in the first place. Bringing it back and then making a new exclusivity AFTER everyone has bought it is scummy.
Of course it is, to you. But you know what? That's why when you buy a skin with different styles, you go to your locker and see if those styles are still there and if not then you refund it at the shop. No return ticket needed, you can return any and all items until those items are used in an actual match. I do it all the time, specifically for this reason. Some people are just smarter than others, I guess.
I was happy to see other people could finally get Master Chief. That sucks for people that did not already have it. I have the black style and I think other people should be able to get it too.
I mean even my grandma has the edit style, xbox cloud gaming was right there so everyone and their ancestors were able to get the style, what matters is that the skin itself came back and Master Chief looks extremely good in his default style anyway
At the very least drop the price of it somewhat, you are paying full price (actually more since Vbucks are more expensive than before) for a skin without ever having the chance of getting the FULL cosmetic even if you have a Series S/X.
@@rantafor4377 that’s a good point and they should honestly do that but companies (mainly microsoft in this case) are not THAT friendly like i say, they’re gonna take as much money as they can get and never lower the prices of those collabs. Epic has enough by giving players the option to refund the skin, that’s their way to say sorry
Yeah it's shady to backpedal like that. Especially when you've got people like me who upgraded to a Series S and got the black variant only 3 months ago (I've had MC since he first released). But now it's suddenly locked for everyone else? Weak.
what i find extremely upsetting is the lack of communication from EPIC as they this was going to happen and didn't bother to let the community know before. Player would of made a decision as to buy or not. Is crazy to see how EPIC treats there audience and people just take it a keep playing the game!!
This is why we need to get rid of exclusivity or remove time limits on exclusive content tbh, i don't mind exclusivity, limited timed and rare content, it is FOMO and time limits that ruin it like "You have to get this on a certain date and be gone forever, and if you miss it, then tough crap on you", honestly, we all don't have much time, we all think we have all the time in the world, but in reality, we do not, we all have life, work, college, school, family and so on, just let players have fun, new or old, for all to enjoy, like games back then where we don't have to deal with all this and play games whenever we wanr with no time restraints, only things that are limited timed are seasonal events stuff like Easter, Christmas, Halloween, Independence Day, New Years, Valentines, St Patrick's day and so on, so yeah

“Can’t trust what they say then” uhh you’re never supposed to trust them? You’re never supposed to trust companies at all bro cuz these things happen all the time, they can change the rules just like this and get away with it LOL
it was sony throwing a fit they didn’t want to advertise a skin that gave you a variant for playing on the competitors console.. which is ironic because they have two skins with exclusive variants for their own console
I don't get how this isn't an issue for people (mostly ones that have the style already). Because if Fortnite can do this than they'll be able to get away with anything. Might as well bring back the Ikonik skin at this point to piss more people off.
I have the variant too, and I can say that the style shouldn't be gone forever now. That makes no sense and was literally the big deal about playing Fortnite on the newest generation of consoles back when those skins first released in 2021.

There will always be exclusive stuff, FOMO works for them (They even stated that not everything from these recent battle passes will come back, only some stuff will return to the item shop, see? Even more exclusive stuff)
One thing is going back on something they said, but saying it AFTER they return the skin to the store is stupid. I don't have much interest in the skin, but I do own an Xbox, knowing that if I at somepoint I were to buy it, I can't get the edit style, i'm definetly not buying it now.
That’s what they make you think, you let youtubers and sometimes Epic form your opinions and ideas when they’re just not true. Epic will always have exclusive stuff, if they bring back battle passes or crew packs, they will end up giving og edit styles to those who already had them.
I tried to open a ticket with Epic Support to get my ticket, but I couldn’t even send my message. They are full or requests from people hoping to get a ticket. if you couldn’t open a ticket soon after they posted the message, then you might be out of luck.
My friend Sent me a picture today of them receivig the matte black style for Master chief so maybe it still works edit: the just posted on Twitter that the style is available again for people to get again
My theory is they probably had a contract with Microsoft telling epic the only way to unlock the black style for players has to be solely by playing on a series X|S, but with Cloud gaming being a loophole, they can’t legally uphold that contract anymore even though it’s a Xbox service, so by bringing back Master Chief they had to remove that style going forward because it would be going against that contract with Microsoft since technically Cloud Gaming is a third way to unlock it. if this is the case hopefully they can have a updated contract with Microsoft including Cloud Gaming.
Finally a good theory, but epic could just say “it’s exclusive now, nothing you can do about it and my friend Microsoft allowed it too” and they would get away with it
@ yeah if there’s any truth to my theory, they would rather not deal with it and retroactively make it exclusive, hopefully with all the backlash though they get forced to do something I hope.
@@thefatmanbatman9822 yk, they could just say sorry, give the players the black edit style but they would also add a new og edit style LOL that’s their way to solve these kind of problems
I'm lucky I owned Master Chief, Kratos and Aloy before 2024. I did end up getting the Alt Styles for Kratos and Aloy but I did not have the Alt style for Master Chief simply because I did not have an Xbox....but rather a PlayStation 4 & 5.
The exclusive styles for item shop skins is so stupid. Why do skull trooper and ghoul trooper get exclusive styles for OGs when none of the Christmas skins did. I understand stand if they announce it to be exclusive at launch, that’s fine, but to gate keep styles that weren’t even there in the original place is stupid.
Plus, my whole thing is if they give the black style to everybody else then it’s gonna be like a renegade raider and the OG‘s are gonna want another style for themselves
What sucks was back then getting the new gen consoles in 2020 wasn’t easy and would cost an arm and a leg. 4 years later when people can finally afford these consoles and get their hands on them easily they decide to punish you if you weren’t fortunate enough back then to afford a new console and the skin. Fortnite has been exposing their evolving level of greed more and more
All the people upset about exclusivity don’t even play the game anymore. There’s probably like 1% of old players that still play. They need to stop living in the past and start living in the present. Real OG players played the game for what it is not for exclusive skins 💯
Had him since he came out with the black version to it sucks cause if anyones seen red vs blue its literally a tex style you cant get anymore hope they change this its a clean style fr
I wonder what even caused this? Why couldn't this just have been an automatic thing? Why was it just removed, do they do the edit style unlocks in waves and they just couldn't be bothered?
i somewhat think like Fortnite knew people waned master chief and they did bring him back, but it a cost and the cost is no black version of master chief
Well, no thry did not lie because they never said that if it comes back out and you have a xbox s/x then you can still get it this would of been for when the skin first came out and what they meant is that if you got the skin at that time and in the future you get a xbox s/x then you can still get it but again they never said that if it came back out you can still get the black style of the skin they only said when it cam out that is you have or an xbox you can get it or if you get one later on you can still unlock it.
Well it’s their game and apparently Microsoft was okay with letting this happen. Should epic face punishment for not letting players know about this change before the skin was back in the item shop? Yes, sadly they’re the type of company that always gets away with it. Don’t forget how the Epic vs Apple issue went down at the end of the day.
I bet they are using this to test the reaction of the community if they release bp in the item shop. If so much people sue and the FTC get on their backs, bringing back old bps are a no-go but if they release smth for free to make up for this hastle and a lot of people where happy, this givens them the greenlight on releasing battlepasses
Halo was the first fps game my dad taught me how to play I literally grew up playing this halo 2 and 3 we’re the best for me. When chief came out on FN I wanted him but didn’t have vbucks. But yesterday I actually bought the vbucks to get him and I’m upset because I thought I was going to be getting the other outfit I definitely don’t want to return him because he’s literally the only character I actually want in my locker but like why can’t they just give us they grey skin I don’t understand it’s so stupid
Now they also say now, anyone who didn’t get it back then won’t get it. However i bought him on day one, just never had an Xbox. So will I still get it?
I regret not buying him two years ago, i chose the Batman fortnite comic over him, and i could have easily gotten that anytime after. As happy as i am that i finally have chief, i always thought the black style was awesome
I own the matte black style but give if they could and can, give the style to the newer ones who just got him. And maybe give us an extra style for those who already had him? I’m not complaining but there will be those who will complain and want another style
What happens to people getting a series x for christmas THIS YEAR who had the skin day 1. Like i dunno ME!!! i get no black style. which is dumb. But i also never use the master cheif skin, Rick grimes literally never comes off. But imma be mad for people that would use it in that same case as me!!
So funny THIS is the thing that's locked into exclusivity, a cosmetic in the grand scheme of things not that old compared to the previously NEVER brought back Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper. Would be shocked if they didn't say something soon, it's so weird to have in gone NOW not only for people who buy it now but people who had it and hadn't yet connected to an Xbox Series console to get the style.
Even if they had to do stuff like this. They should have at the very least told players a week before that they are going to do this. Just give those who may for some reason haven't gotten it yet a last chance to nab the style. And have the item return during that period as well.
My issue is that I’ve been struggle to connect my Epic account to my microsoft account but just procrastinated it because I thought I could do it at “any time” but now that the promotion abruptly ended, i’m empty handed Edit: I’ve had the skin since the day after the game awards 4 years ago
I'm very upset. The original tweet epic reposted said there was no time limit, and he had already been re-released a couple of times with no change. Why now, with no heads up? I definitely feel lied to. I began playing fortnite in C4S1 using my Series X. ffs.
sorta kinda bc u only could get the black style by playing on xbox and not everybody that bought it the first time plays on xbox so if u played on xbox u have a exclusive edit style
I don't mind other people having this variant. HOWEVER... I do think they need to play on an actual series console, rather than just through the free cloud gaming... it's supposed to show that you love Halo/Xbox, y'know?
I don't see why they couldn't bring the Matt skin back, you ether had to be on cloud gaming or a series X Xbox, I gauss in the end epic wouldn't care because you can refund the V bucks but you can't refund the V bucks to get your actual money back, so epic is not losing any money over this, if they were they would probably have a different attitude
Maybe they're tired of new gens crying about extra styles. I bet hals of them didn't even buy this for a style until the saw the outrage. It's just pixels
You can still get Mate Black Master Chief skin if you bought Master Chief back in dec/2020 on PC. I got it this year; just play one match in Xbox Cloud.
I wonder if it’s not epic but actually Microsoft maybe something in the original agreement, regardless they should not have lied and they should bring back the ability to unlock it.
I think it's dumb that it's exclusive because some people own the new xboxs and it's not that hard to buy the skin, play a match and get the style, it's just that easy It's so dumb
so Fortnite did not lie they just not describe it in the way they where meant to ok so I'm sorry but I don't know why everyone it mad about it when its a skin.
They could have said that the skin was no longer available a year ago, but they leave it past the point were people have spent money to buy it, that really shady, whoever made the decision to leave it this late is total scum, because it's someone's job to consider stuff like this
It kinda exposes how pointless ALL exclusivity is. They literally just make up the rules saying something is exclusive or not.

I'm lucky I owned Master Chief, Kratos and Aloy before 2024. I did end up getting the Alt Styles for Kratos and Aloy but I did not have the Alt style for Master Chief simply because I did not have an Xbox....but rather a PlayStation 4 & 5.
The exclusive styles for item shop skins is so stupid. Why do skull trooper and ghoul trooper get exclusive styles for OGs when none of the Christmas skins did. I understand stand if they announce it to be exclusive at launch, that’s fine, but to gate keep styles that weren’t even there in the original place is stupid.
Plus, my whole thing is if they give the black style to everybody else then it’s gonna be like a renegade raider and the OG‘s are gonna want another style for themselves
That's weird I got the Mattel black style when I got it
What sucks was back then getting the new gen consoles in 2020 wasn’t easy and would cost an arm and a leg. 4 years later when people can finally afford these consoles and get their hands on them easily they decide to punish you if you weren’t fortunate enough back then to afford a new console and the skin. Fortnite has been exposing their evolving level of greed more and more
All the people upset about exclusivity don’t even play the game anymore. There’s probably like 1% of old players that still play. They need to stop living in the past and start living in the present. Real OG players played the game for what it is not for exclusive skins 💯
Had him since he came out with the black version to it sucks cause if anyones seen red vs blue its literally a tex style you cant get anymore hope they change this its a clean style fr
Im just wonder how it was coded to unlock and why it had a invisible timer until now.
Mark this moment. Epic is taking a turn... It will not be the same from here on out
"Epic is ending exclusivity"
W epic fr
By deleting an exclusivity from Xbox player ?
Only gullible people believe that, they keep forgetting that Epic is NOT that friendly
@@ErykRoll anyone can find that out just by dealing with thier support
I wonder what even caused this? Why couldn't this just have been an automatic thing? Why was it just removed, do they do the edit style unlocks in waves and they just couldn't be bothered?
I just logged into fortnite i bought master chief last night and today it gave me the style
i somewhat think like Fortnite knew people waned master chief and they did bring him back, but it a cost and the cost is no black version of master chief
That offer was for if you brought it back then
Epic games: let’s bring back exclusivity
Also them: but not bring back a matte black style for a skin
Well, no thry did not lie because they never said that if it comes back out and you have a xbox s/x then you can still get it this would of been for when the skin first came out and what they meant is that if you got the skin at that time and in the future you get a xbox s/x then you can still get it but again they never said that if it came back out you can still get the black style of the skin they only said when it cam out that is you have or an xbox you can get it or if you get one later on you can still unlock it.
idk why they would lie
Well it’s their game and apparently Microsoft was okay with letting this happen. Should epic face punishment for not letting players know about this change before the skin was back in the item shop? Yes, sadly they’re the type of company that always gets away with it. Don’t forget how the Epic vs Apple issue went down at the end of the day.
Microsoft did it again...
Anti consumer behavior!
I blame Tim Sweeney
I’m just happy to have Master Chief.
I bet they are using this to test the reaction of the community if they release bp in the item shop. If so much people sue and the FTC get on their backs, bringing back old bps are a no-go but if they release smth for free to make up for this hastle and a lot of people where happy, this givens them the greenlight on releasing battlepasses
Halo was the first fps game my dad taught me how to play I literally grew up playing this halo 2 and 3 we’re the best for me. When chief came out on FN I wanted him but didn’t have vbucks. But yesterday I actually bought the vbucks to get him and I’m upset because I thought I was going to be getting the other outfit I definitely don’t want to return him because he’s literally the only character I actually want in my locker but like why can’t they just give us they grey skin I don’t understand it’s so stupid
Honestly RIP Epic Employees salaries
2:30 the way you say Aloy hurts my ears 🤣
Now they also say now, anyone who didn’t get it back then won’t get it. However i bought him on day one, just never had an Xbox. So will I still get it?
Noooope
Cmon we can convince epic to grant us matte black variant for Christmas
I regret not buying him two years ago, i chose the Batman fortnite comic over him, and i could have easily gotten that anytime after. As happy as i am that i finally have chief, i always thought the black style was awesome
I own the matte black style but give if they could and can, give the style to the newer ones who just got him. And maybe give us an extra style for those who already had him? I’m not complaining but there will be those who will complain and want another style
Green style is still better but the black is a flex now😢
It's probably Microsoft's fault.
why dont they just let us buy the matt black variant for a couple extra vbucks
What happens to people getting a series x for christmas THIS YEAR who had the skin day 1. Like i dunno ME!!! i get no black style. which is dumb. But i also never use the master cheif skin, Rick grimes literally never comes off. But imma be mad for people that would use it in that same case as me!!
That would be your fault and nothing else, you were able to get this edit style by just playing on xbox cloud gaming
Lol you could have got it long time ago
I feel like someone lost/deleted the coding to grant you the second style, so they just decided to say that you can't get it anymore
So funny THIS is the thing that's locked into exclusivity, a cosmetic in the grand scheme of things not that old compared to the previously NEVER brought back Renegade Raider and Aerial Assault Trooper. Would be shocked if they didn't say something soon, it's so weird to have in gone NOW not only for people who buy it now but people who had it and hadn't yet connected to an Xbox Series console to get the style.
i used xbox cloud gaming to get the style..and its runnin off xbox series x so..
Even if they had to do stuff like this. They should have at the very least told players a week before that they are going to do this. Just give those who may for some reason haven't gotten it yet a last chance to nab the style. And have the item return during that period as well.
Maybe Microsoft just spoke with them epic employees, that’s why they announced this change this late.
Bring it back it’s not right of them
My issue is that I’ve been struggle to connect my Epic account to my microsoft account but just procrastinated it because I thought I could do it at “any time” but now that the promotion abruptly ended, i’m empty handed
Edit: I’ve had the skin since the day after the game awards 4 years ago
the matte black style was the only reason i was gonna get him
Its back available
I'm very upset. The original tweet epic reposted said there was no time limit, and he had already been re-released a couple of times with no change. Why now, with no heads up? I definitely feel lied to. I began playing fortnite in C4S1 using my Series X. ffs.
Wouldn't that technically mean the black style is an OG style or something?
no
sorta kinda bc u only could get the black style by playing on xbox and not everybody that bought it the first time plays on xbox so if u played on xbox u have a exclusive edit style
So if i have bought it before it came to the shop can i still get the style?
I don't mind other people having this variant. HOWEVER... I do think they need to play on an actual series console, rather than just through the free cloud gaming... it's supposed to show that you love Halo/Xbox, y'know?
It’s really not worth it for a extra style the default master chief is better anyway
I don't see why they couldn't bring the Matt skin back, you ether had to be on cloud gaming or a series X Xbox, I gauss in the end epic wouldn't care because you can refund the V bucks but you can't refund the V bucks to get your actual money back, so epic is not losing any money over this, if they were they would probably have a different attitude
Maybe they're tired of new gens crying about extra styles. I bet hals of them didn't even buy this for a style until the saw the outrage. It's just pixels
You can still get Mate Black Master Chief skin if you bought Master Chief back in dec/2020 on PC. I got it this year; just play one match in Xbox Cloud.
No you can’t.
@BlkBornSeed lol, OK.
I received the black style once I logged in on Xbox cloud gaming yesterday.
Hope this helps.
Just got the Matte Black variant gifted to me when I logged in rn LFG 🔥🙏🏼
I wonder if it’s not epic but actually Microsoft maybe something in the original agreement, regardless they should not have lied and they should bring back the ability to unlock it.
we want the matte black version back!!
Well according to epic games that’s not happening they do love gatekeeping stuff especially things that are like this
They lied about the De-Rezz pickaxe too!
I think it's dumb that it's exclusive because some people own the new xboxs and it's not that hard to buy the skin, play a match and get the style, it's just that easy
It's so dumb
Im still waiting for my Mr Dappermint refund or variant
so Fortnite did not lie they just not describe it in the way they where meant to ok so I'm sorry but I don't know why everyone it mad about it when its a skin.
They could have said that the skin was no longer available a year ago, but they leave it past the point were people have spent money to buy it, that really shady, whoever made the decision to leave it this late is total scum, because it's someone's job to consider stuff like this
I got given the style
“Glad to see we are going positive”
Thank u VERY much for covering this, EPIC NEEDS to revert this stupid change
What if that doesn’t happens?
They should make a exclusive PlayStation style for Ogs That is Blue
How are you going to bring back renegade raider and arial assault trooper but not an edit style for master chief
