Fortnite enthusiasts were buzzing with excitement on August 6 when the highly sought-after Paradigm skin made an unexpected comeback in the game's item shop. Originally released as a limited-time exclusive during Chapter 1 Season X, the skin hadn't been available for purchase in over five years. The sudden reappearance of this iconic outfit sent the community into a frenzy.
Players Can Keep the Loot
Fortnite swiftly acknowledged that the skin's return was "due to a bug" and initially planned to remove it from players' Lockers, offering refunds to those who had purchased it. However, the backlash from the passionate Fortnite community prompted a swift change of heart.
Just two hours after their first announcement, Fortnite made a surprising U-turn via a tweet. They declared, "Bought Paradigm tonight? You can keep her." They acknowledged the accidental return as their mistake, stating, "Her accidental return to the Shop is on us... so if you purchased The Paradigm during this evening's rotation, you can keep this Outfit and we'll refund your V-Bucks soon-ish."
To preserve the exclusivity for those who originally owned the skin, Fortnite committed to creating a unique, new variant exclusively for these early adopters.
