The Fortnite Battle Royale Item Shop revives a mythical monster today! Moisty Merman returns from the moisty depths of... the backlot of Studio B to bring terror to Apollo Island. Dreamflower is also available for a Woodstock style.
Also on offer are the Hotwire Epic-quality skin with Megavolt to give you a boost, and Limelight and her Sour Strikers harvesting tool for a sour look!
General Information
The Item Shop in Fortnite Battle Royale is refreshed daily, and offers new cosmetic items for use in the game.
These purchases are strictly decorative, and do not offer any advantage in game.
There are four types of items in the shop:
- Skins that change the appearance of the character you control.
- Gliders that change the appearance of the parachute you use to descend onto the island,
- Harvesting equipment that changes the appearance of the pickaxe your character uses to destroy objects on the map and collect resources.
- Emotes are animations that your character can perform on command.
- Animations can consist of a simple wave, acrobatics or dances.
- Each animation has its own sound effects, and almost all the dances are accompanied by a melody of their own.
The shop is divided into two parts: the Featured Items section, which contains items that are generally more rare, more expensive and typically remain available in the shop for forty-eight hours.
The second is Daily Items. and always contains two skins, two emotes, a glider and a pickaxe. Items in this category are less rare and less expensive, and only remain available in the shop for 24 hours.
Update 11.50 arrives this week and will be an important crash test for Fortnite. The game will be moving to Unreal Engine Chaos physics system. Epic Games has been very discreet about the rendering but we can expect a real visual revival for the famous battle royale.
