Exclusitivity is ending for a lot of things so I think old battle passes will return because ch1 OG mode is advertised as ch1 s1 and Fortnite just updated their policy where you can't sue them
Its free money for them and it would stop account buying which has been a huge problem for literally forever. I think theres really no reason for them not to bring them back
I don't think its free money for them as the money would drop pretty quickly as demand drops (since most people want these skins just because they can't have them). Also it wouldn't stop account selling. It would hinder it, yes, but there are many other rare items besides bp items. Also every battle pass after ch1 would likely still be exclusive anyway.
i certainly don’t mind the CH1 BPs returning, but what i REALLY want is CH2 onward. Mostly due to the collab skins. Those are the ones that I really wish i could have.
As a player that’s bought every battle pass not including season 2 I really don’t care if they bring them back and I just want them back it would be cool if they drop season 2
Exclusivity is an illusion. People dont know who owns what unless they were there when that person bought the pass. Disney for years used to advertise the dinsey vault saying get it now before it goes in the vault forever... And now we have disney plus and no one has tried to sue them
I've been playing since before there were skins, all I'm saying is: If McDonalds can keep bringing back the McRib and keep calling it "Limited Time exclusive" then why can't Epic Bring back old battlepasses? (Also the season shop stuff, 90% of the stuff wasn't even good in there besides the pickaxe)
heres a few ideas put a tag on the skin if you had it og, in the lobby, locker and in game (you can disable it) (like the dog tags from og fortnite) put a border around someone's skin if you are playing teams with them, or make their name gold/put the og dog tag on their name if you get elem'd by them "date obtained" feature under the "introduced in chapter 1 season 3" , it'll be useful, nostalgic and just nice to have for ALL rare skins
@ when people thing of old style, nobody thinks of dog tags. Yet again. When people want to show off exclusivity, dog tags, are a horrible way to do it.
they did say that items from the new passes can return to the shop. but they added images from old battle passes from season 2 to c4s1 and some old crew skins which can feel like they will bring them back in a way you can earn everything. also the new battle pass system would be perfect for them to return. (the one where you dont need stars)
If you get the fortnite crew for 2 dollars more than the battle pass, you get the battle and a character, and 1000 vbucks, which is your money back basically, and the vbucks in the pass back. It's a profit deal if you're smart about it. Fortnite is my favorite game, so I pay 2 more dollars and reap the benefits. Exclusivity is fun. However, collabs shouldn't be exclusive to passes. I think what could have solved this problem would be if from the start people who baught the battle pass got all those skins for 10 bucks and the skins in the battle pass would cost rarity price in item shop. Like Omega would be obviously worth 2000 vbuck, which is 20 bucks. The benefits to battle pass owners are that you keep extra styles you earned, and item shop owners only get base style. Then, the pass owners would feel OG since that's important to them. There are plenty of throw-away characters in the old passes no one wants. Would you like an OG edit style for zoey? The only ones people really care about are Omega, The Reaper, and Black Knight. Just sell them full price to those who didn't put in the time and maybe leave out exceseries for non battle pass owners. You didn't play, so if you want it so bad, you pay full price. That's my take. I personally think this was epics plan from the beginning. Controversy makes people talk about the game, and they make money. Which I'm cool with. If this game dies, I lose all my stuff. Mainly my 1,320 skins. 6 years collecting. Played every season since Chapter 1 season 5. I had a major handicap when I first played. Everyone was 1 year ahead of me.
They could just allow selling skins between accounts and take a percentage of the v-bucks from every sale. Us older players can then sell what we have to those who want them, and everybody wins while scarcity keeps the value in the skins
if we had a marketplace like what cs2 has and the skins had monetary value ill be pissed off i they bring them back but we dont have that so i dont see the point of gatekeeping battle passes (i own all of them),just let new players have the opportunity to get the skins they like
@@frootusloopus It’s definitely a possibility. 1 example could be that you purchase each battle pass for each month. Now that would cost 9,500 vbucks… but it would also be worth it
Epic could learn a thing or two from Halo: Infinite. As much as that game gets a lot of shit, the way they do "battle passes" is smart. You can buy said pass whenever you want, and progress through the pass at your own pace. Gate keeping skins is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Destiny 2 has also done a similar thing where they brought back old armor ornaments players may have missed from years back, and nobody has any issue with it. It seems to me majority of the current Fortnite player base are newer players anyway. Worst comes to worst, give the "OG" players a new style. I promise current players do not care.
Theory: They will bring back smaller versions of the old Battle Passes, similar to OG and Remix. The passes will have 2 or 3 of the skins for each season, mixed with some old school stuff and maybe some new OG themed stuff. They will release each BP alongside each season, as they rotate every month. Also, Wenegade Waider will be back at the start of this, just to build hype and blow up the mode and season.
Heck yeah! If that were the case, you can simply give my friend a Lil Split because it’s his dream skin haha All jokes aside, there needs to be more people like you.
Kinda mixed on this It’s kinda nice I can get robot and best mates emote since I started in s3 but didn’t get the pass But also kinda salty I can’t flex orange justice in 5 months
It would not be illegal for them to bring back old battle passes, it would be seen as false advertising as they did say those items will never return so its a big mess but again it is their game and they can do whatever with it. ( also don't take this as me gatekeeping I want them to return as well )
@@WyattMacDonald-e8i it isn’t illegal. In the TOS it states that Epic can edit any in game clause at will. If you have an account then you agreed to that TOS. (Don’t take this as me attacking u or anything I also want them to return it’s just it isn’t false advertising)
I feel like if they were gonna do exclusive styles, it should ONLY be for tier 100 skins or rare skins. I’d prefer if they didn’t do exclusive styles, but I won’t complain too much if they do
@@Indie_Live Fortnite has been a bit lazy lately, so I don’t really know if they’ll make an exclusive version for every single exclusive battlepass skin they have. Like I said, I’d prefer if they didn’t, but I won’t complain about it too much if they did.
@@ICY35000 I get that point, but it's really not so hard for them. They could literally make (for example) a solid silver texture with particles or smth that can be applied to every bp skin. That would take them max 1-2 days (big company makes everything take longer)
To be honest, the skins in the old battle passes Don't even look worth buying The only attractor that they have is that they're og and rare The only way I would really care about these battle passes is if they had a collab that I wanted like Doom Slayer spider Gwen or Rick
@@homepress644 That’s understandable. I also think the majority of C1 battlepass skins are bad. But a few are good, mainly the Tier 100’s and a few others

No they should not bring back the OG battle passes because they are exclusive while the new ones are no longer exclusive so people just need to suck it up and shut up because they're never going to get these exclusive skins
