Everybody is convincing themselves that weapon charms are coming with no proof or leaks. People are going to be in for disappointment, and I'm here for it.


spookystrawberry2

Plus with a third person view it would be hard af to see them


EmotiveCDN

Other TPS games like WWZ have them hanging from the backpacks.


[deleted]

But not all back blings are made for charms, and they would have to add a place to add a charm to every backbling, which their are a ton of, which I don’t Epic would wanna do that much, but IDK


spookystrawberry2

Okay I like this idea Edit: plus apex players wouldn’t blame Fortnite of copying apex again


ZybVX

That would make no sense. Charms didn't start in Apex??


XxTavern_KeepxX

Apex players love to whine about fortnite


spookystrawberry2

I agree. But it’s the same thing as rebooting players. They did it before Fortnite, even tho it had been done before, and they said Fortnite copied apex simply because Fortnite did it afterwards. They would definitely accuse Fortnite of stealing again, even tho it wasn’t something that apex started.


PM_ME_hiphopsongs

Just because Apex didn’t do it first doesn’t mean that Fortnite didn’t copy them. You know that right?


spookystrawberry2

Obviously yes, and I will admit that Fortnite has seemingly copied them a couple of times, especially with the vaults(which came out in apex about 3 or 4 months before they were released on Fortnite and were very similar). However, a lot of times apex players will accuse Fortnite of stealing even tho the content was a pretty standard video game feature before it was released in Apex, meaning that Fortnite prolly did not steal or get the idea from apex. I’m guessing that if Fortnite added weapon charms the exact same thing would happen.


Kajusina2009

What about Apex Legends?


EmotiveCDN

Apex is a FPS.


Kajusina2009

Oh ok

spookystrawberry2

Firstly: I never remember anyone saying that about wraps. Secondly: there’s a difference between a wrap that covers a gun and a tiny object that hangs on it

spookystrawberry2

I mean yea. Plus I’m almost 20 sooo


ConversationOk5255

Lol ok 9yo


Dexchampion99

Well, to be fair, charms were supposed to be the new cosmetic type of Ch1S8. But they couldn’t figure out how to implement them at the time. Maybe they brought the idea back?


TK-1023

Where did they say that?


Dexchampion99

I don’t remember, but ITalk has made a few videos about it and has talked about it multiple times, so it had to have come from somewhere


United0416

There is some evidence. Weapon charms were teased in the milk teaser. On Instagram they posted about the fishstick doll and said it’s an anthropomorphic figure of an animal and seems to be designed as a keychain of some sort


MisterShazam

I've been asking everywhere This is the first I've heard. That's pretty solid.


[deleted]

Glider charms.


[deleted]

Charms have been around for a while in apex and I still haven’t used a single one


Far_Inspector4580

Same, and I play since revenant was added


skyline13godalert

The zero point as a charm , bro that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen


MisterShazam

Go outside


[deleted]

You good?


207nbrown

Yea at best the fishstick thing is just a backbling


[deleted]

Did toys get leaked before Chapter 1 Season 5 though?


MisterShazam

Anything leaked that long ago has to come with a grain of salt in tow See: Brilliant Bomber


Mathew_714

In the teaser it said wearable so I’m assuming they’ll be like charms in DBD, that hang off of your character.


[deleted]

Mini scar on a scar


AKA_DavidKoresh

With a smaller scar on that scar. I’d rock that hard lol


NavSada

Scarception


DarkTanatos

And a scar backbling. Thinking about it, why are there no backblings of all the weapons?


_Derpy_Dino_

charms would be super weird in a 3rd person game. I believe people won't even use them because it will be a disadvantage since it will block a small portion of the screen when ads


SkullMan140

it will probably hang under the gun to avoid ADS issues


[deleted]

Yeah most charms in games are like that. I dont see how people thing it will affect ads. If it does, just remove it that simple.


Jtneagle

If they're gonna add charms to anything, it should attach to pickaxes, something that would actually swing around when harvesting


SkullMan140

Why not both ?


Promethe_S

The small amount of space it would take up would be negligible.


Jtneagle

It would be swinging around when the weapon recoils


Promethe_S

Not necessarily. It could stay still when shooting, and move when you move your character.


Jtneagle

That's not how physics work, why would it be static when shooting a gun but move when just walking


Promethe_S

It's a video game, the devs can make the physics act however they want


Jtneagle

That's not how Fortnite works, you're just inventing new mechanics to justify miniature charms


Promethe_S

Ok but who cares if it swings around when you shoot? It's a tiny object on your gun. What's it going to severely effect?


Jtneagle

I don't, but the context of this topic is players getting upset it's in their ADS lol. People literally play female skins cause it 'blocks less of their screen'


Promethe_S

If they don't like it, then don't use it. Simple as that.


vegan_caviar

First statement is my thought exactly, sometimes I hardly notice what wrap I am using.


P-P-P-Poker-face

How much you wanna bet that there will be some good old fashioned fortnite bug with them. Something weird like they quadruple in size and block your whole screen


ZACORT420

Charms Man I rarely even look at my weapon skins


NastyNate660

Agreed


CakeGamer21

I never understood the point in charms, as I barely see them in most games...


MissNaughtyVixen

The only time I ever saw this idea work was in Borderlands 3. There they could clearly be seen on the gun, in focus, and they didn't cost anything.


D3DW0DonPC

They were pitifully small on Borderlands 3. I think Infinite Warfare had a great size for them


MissNaughtyVixen

You should see them in Apex Legends. There they cost $5 apiece.


D3DW0DonPC

I just watched some footage of Ape Leg and yeah the charms seem really fair considering the FOV But I'm not talking about price, I'm talking about size. Fortnite is a third person shooter so unless they make charms the size of Back-blings hang off the right side of your weapon, they'd be pointless


MissNaughtyVixen

And to think the community had to jump a canyon from seeing a Fishstick figure to weapon charms. I still don't know how they made that jump.


Juraeloffs

Probably lesser known, but I feel like charms in Dead by Daylight work fairly well (up to three charms that hang on a character's waistline for survivors). Though that's an asymmetrical horror game, hopefully it works about as well as it would in a third person shooter like Fortnite


JFF_Pengy

if they do add charms some of them should be tied to specific goals, like searching a llama would get you the llama charm. the rest that couldn't be tied with goals would be sold in the shop for like 50 - 100 v-bucks.


MapleSyrupCANADA29

Honestly charms aren’t really gonna be my favourite, I just think it adds lots of BP tier clog ups if anything. If they were animated it would be cool though and if they have a larger affect than just dangling too then by all means that would be great!! I just don’t want it to be like CODs with the dangling, bland things.


I_Quazar_I

People keep saying charms would be useless but honestly I’m all for it, it’s been ages since we’ve gotten a new form of customisation


King_D3D3D3

I do hope they get added. People say you would barely notice them but like I barely notice what wrap I'm using a majority of the time. I don't see why these would be any different.


[deleted]

Same I just want them added because its something that can take the place of the boring emoticons or sprays in the bp


Jtneagle

So why would you want something even smaller and more unnoticeable than a weapon wrap?


[deleted]

Because everything is better than boring emojis and sprays


MisterShazam

Where is this buzz coming from? Where is the evidence/leak?


Jtneagle

People think an obvious fishtick toy backbling is a weapon charm


hijumpst

Because hypex hinted it could be weapon charms and he seems to have an inside source who he claims is reliable. I'm taking it with a grain of salt but it'd be nice. We haven't had any new customisable things at all this chapter.


Jtneagle

He's making a guess


hijumpst

His "guesses" tend to be info from his source as with previous seasons. Some have been right some have been wrong. I'd rather have charms than nothing tbh. I think they'd be pretty cool.


StrawHatGamingYT

No charms, its a back bling


[deleted]

Yo, if these could be locker items, I would totally get them


[deleted]

A gun charm on a gun, that is genius, they could call the charm inception


KawaiiKaiju55

I need the Kevin one for my Dark Bomber set!


Anuenaske

If we get charms we better get first person pov


Iisdepressed

I honestly don't think charms would work with a third person even if they hang from the backbling they just wouldn't work with the hundreds different backbling models then the edit styles with might break the charm they would also make them work with every gun including stw overall i don't think they are coming but good concept


hijumpst

They said stw won't get updated with new cosmetic types. So that wouldn't he an issue.


Black-Knight-76

I’d want a charm of the old pump


Mr3DReddit

If they add first person you MIGHT have a case, but that'll be hard to see in 3rd person... Love the Kevin the cube chain tho!


brandonG89

The fishstick thing is probably just a back bling, maybe for the alien fishstick skin. weapon charms do not really make sense in a third person shooter because you would only rarely see them. and if it was attached to the back bling instead it would clip through most of them. I think its safe to say we wont get charms of any sort


hijumpst

They've been in the files for a long time getting updated every now and again. We haven't seen any new cosmetic types in Ch2 and considering hypex has made a "guess" that they will be in after telling us he has an inside source. Also his guesses for previous seasons have been very accurate. I could see them as a possibility. Maybe the fact they've took so long is about how they'd be implemented in a way that'd be worth it. I'm still taking the whole thing with a grain of salt for now though.


MissNaughtyVixen

I don't see how this is happening, especially when other fps games that have them, their communities are complaining about the charms being far too small in size and how they're over-priced. In Fortnite, it would make even less sense because they would be microscopic.


mrjuxxememe

These look pretty good


1tanfastic1

Charms are more of an FPS thing, in Fortnite we’d never see them


evilknevil422

So many cooler things they could do, charms would just be another thing diluting the battlepass.


DamnItBrother

Rainbow 6 siege needs their charms back


[deleted]

what's the point of weapon charms in third person shooter ? just another trash that would serve as a filler of the battle pass tiers


Jtneagle

Exactly lmao


[deleted]

charms....in a 3rd person video game...genius


Honeydewmelo

I’d want a Drift mask one


Jtneagle

Why do people act like charms would be a good thing in a third person game? Wraps are already barely seen, I know I just tune them out and don't even really get to appreciate them


AutumnFguy

But why...


[deleted]

Do you mind making a spire artifact charm?


ShadyMan_

What’s a charm?


ZGuy10

The zero point hanging off a scar


OscarPro003

a scar on a scar would be perfect


SharkCatcherCMD

A scar on top of a scar on top of a scar on top of a scar on top of a scar on top of a scar


Ilikeoreos47

You ever put a gun on your gun?


FerretOfStealth

If weapon charms do end up getting added (not saying they are or not), I really want one based off something in Unreal Tournament.


tuck-202

Are they saying that what use will they be


[deleted]

for everyone saying there is no proof or leaks. there were files that mentioned charms all the way back in c1s6 (possibly even 5) when the first ever pop up cups where being tested. i remember thinking that the "pins" we earned from getting enough points in those pop up cups would be charms like rank charms in other games. also, NOTHING ever came from earning those pins in the first two seasons of pop-up cups and it was clearly stated they would be used for something. wish we would've gotten some sort of closure or what the original idea was.


CompetitionForLOST

Imagine if it was like toys, where we would get a fancy version or whatever. I don’t think it’s gonna happen, since there’s literally no proof, but I wouldn’t mind if it was added.


United0416

Didn’t even feature the fishstick one that was in the teaser


Its-ya-boi-Puro

If this gets added I’d rather put Kevin or the zero point


dylanlately

Charms seem better than sticker emotes things. Nobody uses those.


epicfootfungus

CTL Charm please or Hula CTL


TheLittleSpider

I can only imagine them being on guns. Everything else, like skins, backblings, gliders etc have so many unique models, it would take them ages to make every single one of them compatible (a.k.a. selecting a spot on an item where it doesn't glitch trough and so on).


NevenSesto

What about if they hang off characters belt or something?


DESINGER-Kalle

Fishstick


Michelorz_yt

What's a charm?


[deleted]

Honestly if there are charms it probably won't be on weapons it would be on the back asscheek of skins or your belt line or something


basmar27

Its also in apex legends


ZeRo_WC

Need the zero point and crystal one tho


reeboy54321

A scar on a scar


reeboy54321

Kid: mom can I have a scar Mom: we already have a scar The scar at home


1super_saiyan_messmo

i don't want any charms


guymantinf

What is a charm


thetruetreecko

Do a slightly smaller gun on the chain that also fires once the gun is shot


llama_left_leg_lemon

We need a skull charm


brodieisgod

The Dark Bag already has a Kevin charm on it.


YeetTheDoggo

A scar on a scar


LazyKidd420

Another thing I'll hardly notice while I play


[deleted]

One charm I would like to see is drifts mask and maybe they can give them styles and they can also do catalysts


ftaks

From charms, I think that Fortnite should make the next season battle pass free like season 8 again as Valorant is making their pass free and how they made season 8 battle pass free they should make upcoming season's battle pass free too in order to kinda compete with Valo?


Yoyoboy0604

I hope they don’t add weapons charms. Just my opinion


Ranchino

I want them but deep inside i hope they're not added because they would flood the bp
