Summary
Fans ofFortniterecently took to social media to request that Epic Games include more variety when designing and releasing contrails for the popular battle royale. While not available in every game mode, contrails are a cosmetic that appears when a player drops from the game’s Battle Bus. As a player falls, many contrails leave a streak or emit some kind of effect before a player deploys their glider. SomeFortniteplayers have been left wondering why Epic Games doesn’t utilize as much variety when creating new versions of the popular cosmetic.
WithFortnite’s annual Winterfest event coming soon, fans are expecting big things from this year’s holiday season. When Epic Games and its employees go on holiday break, players are usually treated to an in-game winter-themed event that includes map changes, decorations, and a fresh batch of cosmetics. While plenty of additions are usually made to the game’s paid item shop, players are typically given a number of items to enjoy for free, including skins, contrails, and even gliders. Many players are waiting on the edge of their seats in anticipation of what 2024 could bring, especially when it comes to the game’s contrails.
Ina recent post on Reddit, oneFortnitefan pointed out that the game’s recent contrails have lacked variety. They noted that many of the game’s latest contrails simply show some kind of energy emitting from a skin’s hands. In contrast, the redditor posted images of contrails that have a briefcase handcuffed to a character or even a flag held in one’s hand. Contrails like these have become something of a rarity, and many players are wondering why. With fans anticipatingFortnite’s new batch of free Winterfest cosmetics, some are hoping for a fresh take on the game’s contrails.
Fortnite Fans Want More Creative Contrails
Other redditors also asked for more contrails that include music, as the game currently only has two available. Some were quick to say that the more unique contrails are the ones they use the most, as the rest feel a bit boring. A few fans said they would even happily pay for more complex contrails in the game’s item shop if it meant having something more unique in their locker. It’s worth noting that contrails are rarely sold within the game’s item shop. Players typically acquire contrails through in-game events, battle passes, orfree rewards withinFortnite.
While one can never know how a developer will respond to such requests, many players feel Epic Games is generally in tune with the wants and needs of its community. Just recently,Fortnitegave players the ability to choose their default skin, an option fans have been requesting for a long time. With Winterfest just around the corner, many fans feel they have a lot to look forward to.
