FortniteChapter 2, Season 5 has thus far been characterized by its diverse array of crossover character skins. Following the Marvel Comics-heavy “Nexus War” that made up Season 4, this current season kicked off by introducing characters fromThe Mandalorian, and has since included representatives fromHalo,God of War,The Walking Dead, andThe Predator. However, Epic Games is now offering refunds onFortnite’s T-800 skin, added this week from theTerminatorfranchise.
The walking metallic skeleton, based on James Cameron’sTerminator 2: Judgment Day, was added to the battle royale on January 21 alongside Sarah Connor. Players can purchase these skins for 1,500 and 1,800 V-Bucks respectively, but also available in this Future War set are a Techno-Grip Axe and Cyberdyne Salute emote, according toFortnite’s website.

There was initially some confusion in that the wording of the website post suggested the Cyberdyne Salute emote would come packaged with the T-800 Terminator skin. Epic Games issued a correction yesterday, which was also posted to Twitter, that offers fans the opportunity to get a refund if they are “no longer satisfied with your purchase.“Fortnitehas offered refunds for cosmeticsin the past so this is not an unusual move, but those who would like to initiate the process must wait until they receive an in-game notification on the matter sometime next week.
While some fans may have been disappointed that the newTerminator-themed emote was not packaged with the T-800 skin, it’s likely this is not the biggest issue with recent crossover characters that players are running into. A cloaking device included with thePredatorFortniteskin allows users to become invisible indefinitelythanks to one glitch, and the Baby Yoda/Grogu back bling may block a player’s view when aiming.
Despite these occasional issues,FortniteSeason 5 continues and there will likely be plenty more surprises for fans of the battle royale beyond its crossover with theTerminatorfranchise. In fact, leaks circulating online thanks to dataminers suggest thatTomb Raiderwill be crossing over withFortnitesometime soon, giving gamers the opportunity to live out their wild fantasies of seeing Master Chief and Lara Croft build a house together.
New character skins and other unlockable contents are not the only thingsFortniteplayers should be prepared for through the remainder of Season 5 and beyond. Epic Games has announced theFortnite Champion Series will have a $20 million prize pool in 2021, so competitive fans will have their hands full preparing for upcoming tournaments.
Fortniteis free-to-play for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
