100% feels like it's a pull for the TikTok audience. Fortnite is 100% deep in the TikTok community, and want to bring in as many people from there as possible, with skins, recent emotes, etc.
And they make new, abhorrent, and completely unnecessary TikTok emotes nearly every week. It’s quite literally seeping its way into the game, there’s barely any original emotes made by them anymore.
I agree, I think at this point, we have to learn to except that the game has changed! I’m perfectly fine with them having different characters from different shows and everything else. I just think that they could slow down a bit on it, which they have recently! I love this game a lot and I still want to see it thrive. They did such a great job this season, Nick and typical will definitely get the icon skin eventually!
Fictional characters are good but youtubers and celebrities should just be in shop,he's not amazing he's *ust some guy who did childish skits. Also you wrote except im pretty sure you meant accept
I will say you’re probably wrong about one thing, and it’s that collabs have less stuff in the battle pass. Usually a battle pass contains what I call a “full cosmetic set”, that being skin (with at least a few styles), pickaxe, back bling, wrap, contrail, glider, emoticon, spray, loading screen, emote and banner icon. Typically with collabs like Futurama or Terminator, you won’t get everything, most are just skin, back bling and pickaxe and maybe emote. Battle pass collaborations will have more stuff typically, along with anime collaborations. What I initially thought about Khaby is that yes, he’s just there for TikTok promo. I wondered how many cosmetics they could milk out just from his hand theme. Thankfully, they went with references to his Senegalese heritage, albeit with a crown glider (that Optimus didn’t get, mind you.) Oh well, it could have been worse. At least they didn’t slap a TikTok logo on his back bling.
I know, atleast Khaby did heist shit in the trailers he was in. Neymar Jr just shown up in the primal battle pass and LeBron was only added for Space Jam 2
Another great thing was that they actually worked Khaby Lame into the heist theme of the battle pass, like having his skin fit with the rest and having him be in the reveal trailer with the other skins robbing Kado Thorne. Even if you don’t know who he is, because of how well he fits here, he works just as well as an original skin on the BP would. Like bro I love Ahsoka and all, but she does not look or fit with the theme like Khaby does 😂
I get the feeling that all the skins have a trope for a heist. Fish Thicc: The muscle. Anime chick: The hacker. Pizza girl: Diversion. Suitcase girl: Badass chick. Khaby Lame: Realistic (sarcasm maybe?) If that makes sense.
Khaby Lame fits the team perfectly. If Fish Thick is the muscle Khaby Lame is the common sense. The corny tear one skin is the planner the girl is the hitter… you get my point. I’m not a fan of this battle pass, but the team does make sense.
I agree, great points Klarque Clint, seen many TikToks saying NickEh30 and Typical Gamer deserve Icon Skins! I do like Khaby Lame a lot as well, he's not bad!
Khaby Lame deserves it as he is still part of pop culture which Fortnite has always been about he's also a massive meme which again fortnite loves memes. Yes many others deserve an icon series but quantifying who gets what or first is just pointless and will always be subjective. His skin is one of the best of this battle pass 🤲
@@AJtheEngiqueernothing he just did simple stuff that small brains think is amazing he's in some controversy and people are ok with it,he can degrade people and its apparently a good thing
@@lllllllllllllllllllllIIIwell it backfired for me as this is the first pass I'm skipping since I started , the free reward i unlocked went straight in the archive along with all the other forced trash they have added over the years
Not about if he deserves it. It’s about networking and brand collaboration. These skins aren’t “given”. They are worked out between the epic Fortnite team and the influencer/brand/celebrity. It’s really that simple. Even sypher and ninja and those skins are a direct result of their teams convincing Epic there is a monetary or positive PR outcome for the collaboration. They may seem like “trophies” but they aren’t just given to people like trophies, they are negotiated and worked for by those influencers.
Being negotiated does not take away from the fact they are the ultimate Fortnite trophies for content creators and for epic games, as a way to honor the best people who support their content. Both things can be true at the same time.
He couldve been an item shop skin. Cool but damn he get soo nuch hate for no reason it makes no since. I love thst hes in fortnite hes funny asl the skin looks cool. All around fire guy
to me, id rather have him than any other tiktoker. unless there would be a better tiktoker that deserves to be in fortnite more. now for the battle pass, sure id rather have an og skin as khaby could be an icon series bundle instead. but like i said, if they really wanted a tiktoker in the battle pass, then khaby other than a more toxic or literally lame tiktoker compared to khaby. im probably screwing up my explanation but i hope u understand where im coming from XD
People talk about how nick eh 30 should of got it and complain about khaby lame how he doesn’t play, but no one said anything about ice spices dance, or LeBron James skin, and tons more that have nothing to do with Fortnite. no one talks about how he didn’t even get a locker handle but other players did,before him, I could be wrong, but is the arguing really worth it.
I fine with whatever epic adds. The only thing i hate is the fact people say that certain people should not have icon skins. Doesn't matter every content creator is probably going to have a skin a some point and you cant stop it. So quite wining and deal with it
i prefer skins based off the original defaults or characters based off the original defaults like Ramirez or Jonesy skins >( snapshots) they are cleaner in my opinion and remind me of og fortnite. icons are great like we need more creator icons, there’s and it’s getting hard to follow the story with all these new skins being involved. Go watch old fortnite season trailers or or cutscenes and you will appreciate more of the chapter 1 skins. Call it nostalgia, but like it just all made sense the characters on a map that almost felt like a real place urban POIs weekly updates to vehicles being moved buildings being constructed, it felt like that map was alive this new map, although it looks great it’s just a mess of a bunch of random locations, it’s having a identity crisis. hopefully the chapter 5 map is done better
I'm actually glad Ahsoka is the secret skin because I like Star Wars and I didn't even know who Khabby Lame was till Fortnite tweeted a teaser for him but as for Ahsoka I know who she is in Star Wars
I think epic saw his numbers and assumed he’d have a pull for more purchases for the battle pass. But I think they misunderstood why khaby lame Is popular. The reason he’s the biggest content creator is because he doesn’t talk in his videos, it points out common sense things and no matter where you’re from you can understand them. But at the same time no one watches khaby lame videos for khaby lame. You couldn’t really say there’s a lot of khaby lame “fans” because his content isn’t based off of his personality. I think the skins dope though and his pick axe is cool! I just think it’s a case where the numbers are big but that doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a fan base.
Good points bro, however I would add that even if he doesn't have a die hard fan base it doesn't mean his presence won't do well for battle pass sales. Many people will get it just for the memes. Great comment!
I actually have an emote idea for when NickEh comes to the game, it would be called You think you’re the king?, the description would be No, I’m the king! And it would be your character sitting on a throne with NickEh themed colors
To be honest they could of done better on this battle pass seems like they are hoping onto trends in general and the tier 100 is to be the only good skin in the battle pass
Nah we got Ahsoka and Antonia is good, Fish Thicc is a good meme skin and Khaby Lame is ground breaking. I still don’t like the battle pass but let’s give credit where credit is due.
Maybe not a bp slot, should been item shop tbh, hes just not for me and same for his skin. It was just why ,same with neymar . I want to see happy power, nick, tg and courage but sadly no.
I like his skin it looks great but why are they doing collabs with people that haven’t even touched the game like there are 6 people that I know that deserve it more
I don't think it's a bad skin and I don't think he didn't deserve it but I just think they should've left it in the item shop with the other Icons. People didn't like Neymar Jr for that reason too
people saying khaby is the next mr bean is an insult for me any icon skin didn't deserve to be inside battlepass epic should learned this back on chapter 2 season 6 when they put neymar jr. inside the battlepass as secret skin nobody happy with that decision and that forcing them to recreate same neymar jr. skin in different outfit for shop now they're making the same mistake again and on future they will make second khaby lame skin for the shop
Khabby can be in Fortnite. It's the fact that he is in the Battle Pass is the problem. Would rather have the new High card skin than him any day of the week.
I would rather have Wild Card too but Khaby or Nolan… I’m going with Lame every time. Nolan Chance is the worst skin in the game. Let’s talk about that.
I don't like it but I don't dislike it either‚ are there Collabs would have rather had instead of him? Yes‚ am I upset? No‚ I don't mind him being a battle pass skin.
Let’s look deeper at the Lame skin. A seriously James Bond, Cyber Punk and or Skyrim Black character has been needed in Fortnite for awhile. Khaby Lame is not it but his uniforms kinda is. And what makes him really one of the best skins ever is he also has an anime version. How Gangsta is that.? Very, because it was just what I was talking about. Lame had to be the biggest tick tocker to date to get it done. Props to you homie. And that’s what none of these influencers talk about. Or at least the ones I watch and support. Real manly Black Fortnite characters.
I don't watch khaby but i've seen his content. I love the skin and I think he does deserve it. No one ever said anything about Neymar jr being in a primal themed battlepass.
I started In chapter 4 season 3 than I bought the battle pass in chapter 4 season 4 because of khabylame I am a big fan of the skin and the ticktocker UA-camr
I don’t like collars in the battle pass. As a skin, he isn’t good in my opinion. Remove the recognizable face, and does his skin say Khaby Lame? It’s a strange design, with the hands on the chest and the back. I archived him immediately. He isn’t my cup of tea. Someone out there does like him, though.
it’s not his fault he got more clout & followers than half U mfs. If Nick eh 30 was in the BP that shit would be a joke, im sorry. it’s all about big clout & promotion, not “what’s deserving” People need to stop being jealous & just wait their turn instead of being salty & butthurt about it, that’s exactly why he’ll prolly never get a icon skin being bitter & having a nasty attitude at the end of the day Khaby is more famous than all y’all & that’s what y’all don’t like to hear🫠
100% feels like it's a pull for the TikTok audience. Fortnite is 100% deep in the TikTok community, and want to bring in as many people from there as possible, with skins, recent emotes, etc.
Yep, Khaby Lame has absolutely no correlation with a hiest theme whatsoever 😂
Most of the icon series emotes are from tiktok, and it's not just recent ones we started getting them since the beginning of chapter 2
yeah
And they make new, abhorrent, and completely unnecessary TikTok emotes nearly every week. It’s quite literally seeping its way into the game, there’s barely any original emotes made by them anymore.
Facts!
I have a hot take for you
:current fortnite is better than og fortnite.
I agree, besides the current skill gap the game is more polished and fun, all of the items, collabs, and amazing multiplayer and creative mode options
I agree, I think at this point, we have to learn to except that the game has changed! I’m perfectly fine with them having different characters from different shows and everything else. I just think that they could slow down a bit on it, which they have recently! I love this game a lot and I still want to see it thrive. They did such a great job this season, Nick and typical will definitely get the icon skin eventually!

What we wanted: Diamond Dealer
What we got: Khaby Lame
(No hate)
Who is Diamond Dealer? What I wanted was a new X-Lord with a removable helmet.
You actually spoke facts in this video. Well done, Klarque.
Go to bed Nitron
He did give up the real. I appreciate it too.
@@Evanzify Bro 😭😭
I agree 100%, I'm glad Khaby is in but with people saying he has nothing to do with Fortnite, neither is LeBron or Neymar Jr.
I know, atleast Khaby did heist shit in the trailers he was in.

I get the feeling that all the skins have a trope for a heist.
Fish Thicc: The muscle.
Anime chick: The hacker.

Suitcase girl: Badass chick.

It would be risky to put a tiktoker in the item shop. It’s almost an experiment to see if it’s successful enough to make sales
How so they have streamers in the shop tik tokers would be no different. You have no idea what you're saying
@@lucasdiazjr5679 no because TikTokers don't have proper fans as they only make short content

This is honestly my least favorite battle pass of chapter 4. Arguably of all Fortnite

I don't think it's a bad skin and I don't think he didn't deserve it but I just think they should've left it in the item shop with the other Icons.
People didn't like Neymar Jr for that reason too
Wasn’t too happy with this one not gonna lie.. felt very out of place. Wish we had gotten NickEh30 or someone more relevant towards the game.
TF did that just say worst icon
people saying khaby is the next mr bean is an insult for me
any icon skin didn't deserve to be inside battlepass epic should learned this back on chapter 2 season 6 when they put neymar jr. inside the battlepass as secret skin nobody happy with that decision and that forcing them to recreate same neymar jr. skin in different outfit for shop now they're making the same mistake again and on future they will make second khaby lame skin for the shop

People keep lumping him in with Nick eh 30 and TypicalGamer because they are all content creators but they are not the same in what they do
Actually neymar's jr came out in primal season 🤓
First off he does deserve it because he’s a part of fame icon skins not UA-cam gamer icon skins like Neymar lebraon games they are fame skins
I started In chapter 4 season 3 than I bought the battle pass in chapter 4 season 4 because of khabylame I am a big fan of the skin and the ticktocker UA-camr
