Many fans of the game are calling it a &#8220;pay-to-win&#8221; skin, and are demanding its removal.<\/p>\n<p>Initially released during Chapter 2, Season 4, developer Epic Games\u00a0gives players the option of using a customizable superhero skin. The cosmetic was released as part of\u00a0<em>Fortnite<\/em>&#8216;s Marvel-themed crossover, which introduced many comic book heroes and villains along with correlated points of interest.\u00a0The Marvel presence\u00a0is\u00a0continuing to grow in the battle royale\u00a0into this current season with <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fortnite-trailer-black-panther-captain-marvel-taskmaster\/\">the addition of Black Panther<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/epic-games-united-states-headquarters-north-carolina\/\">Epic Games Announces New United States Headquarters<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The skins in question give\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/fortnite\/\"><em>Fortnite<\/em><\/a> players the ability to choose between several different styles and colors. Of all the available colors, the all-black version is a monochrome\u00a0outfit that makes it nearly impossible to be seen in dark areas of the map. Twitter account Fortnite News posted a screenshot inside a structure saying, &#8220;Let&#8217;s play spot the superhero skin!&#8221; The image shows a barely discernible\u00a0player crouched in a dark corner of the room with the only somewhat visible part\u00a0being their legs, made possible by the lighter-colored baseboard.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FortniteINTEL\/status\/1347215724725624839\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Though not as effective as <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fortnite-season-5-quicksand-bug-invisible\/\">the Season 5 quicksand bug<\/a>, players are next to impossible to spot when quickly sweeping a room. While PC players can alleviate the issue by turning off shadows, console players cannot. This isn&#8217;t lost on competitive players, who\u00a0promptly began using the all-black cosmetic to gain an edge on competitors. This led to many in the\u00a0<em>Fortnite\u00a0<\/em>community declaring it a &#8220;pay to win&#8221; skin, and they are now demanding a nerf or altogether removal from the game.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.gamerantimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/fortnite-all-black-superhero-skin-pay-to-win.jpg\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The issue goes beyond just corners\u00a0inside of buildings. The all-black superhero skin gains an advantage basically anywhere there is significant shadow. Despite the problems with this particular skin recently coming to light, the issue of &#8220;pay to win&#8221; skins is something\u00a0<em>Fortnite<\/em> has been criticized\u00a0about before. Last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/fortnite-pay-to-win-skins\/\">three different\u00a0<em>Fortnite<\/em> skins<\/a> were also accused of being &#8220;pay to win.&#8221; Part of Operation Snowdown, the holiday-themed skins\u00a0have been enabling players to blend in with similar surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>Players hope the multiple advantageous skins will either be altered or removed sooner than later. It&#8217;s possible that a broader patch could roll out\u00a0in early 2021 alongside a new feature that lets players toggle pre-build edits. Although\u00a0<em>Fortnite<\/em> remains extremely popular, there is a portion of the gaming community disinterested in\u00a0the game.
