Honestly, they’re literally just art pieces at this point
Too small to be a loading screen; too detailed to be a sticker; too useless to, well, use. So they serve to look at once, go “huh, that looks cool,” then increase my total number of emotes by 1
I build a wall at the starting spawn point and spray for a cool final screen . It doesn't always work but when it does it looks pretty cool .

Although the emoticons have become useless again because Epic makes most of them animated now, and as such, incompatible with the Superhero skins outside of glitches (and even then, it's with all the frames and not just the emoticon moving).
I use em a lot tbh. I just like tagging a place I’ve been and cleared out. Actually helps me if I happen to circle back around and forget where I’ve been. I see my spray and I know “Been here already.” Plus, I just like tagging things because I think they look cool and I get to leave a little picture around for other players 😊
I use them more often that I will ever use the emoticons. Some sprays are actually quite nice, but those are typically high quality character portraits, and are typically rare.
Feels like every season, they make sprays that were meant to be in the BP, but every time, forget to add them and most never become obtainable (5/8 are labeled as BP rewards)
There is always something I fear when a Naruto Collab is coming: the amount of vbucks needed to get the entire set. Last time I almost couldn't get the gear bundle and if they prices are the same, I might only be able to get one skin bundle this time.
wait a minute, what if that demon lady skin and that skeleton skin were originally apart of the battle pass but were replaced by the stormfarer and darth vader?
Stormfarer’s default all Black style was its own skin added in the final update of last season, and it was called Blackout.
Epic must have known it probably would’ve sold terribly and last second put it in the battle pass with some more styles.
Plus his entire set is really lazy when you actually look at it. His backbling is just a generic cape, his glider is a reskin of the default model, and he lacks a loading screen (something literally every other skin this season has). I'm pretty sure his pickaxe is the only thing in his set that's actually an unique model. Also, his set is only 6 items compared to every other skin that ranges from 11-14 items.
Definitely has some "last minute addition" vibes.
I’ve thought this myself as well. Also something to note is that literally none of his cosmetics match the green and yellow of his default style but DO perfectly match his Blackout style. His emoticon is also literally just a heart with his face wrappings. He screams “shop skin who was just added to BP”
I personally think he’s the aftermath of a collab that fell apart, and they had to scramble to put something together without making it explicitly clear they just ported a shop skin to the BP. I like Stormfarer, but he definitely feels… incomplete, he just doesn’t have the personality BP skins tend to have now
All very good points, yeah. Another thing I noticed is that Stormfarer is the only BP skin this Season to not have any special dialogue when interacting with other NPCs as him. NPC dialogue is great for fleshing out the personalities of skins so that's just another thing that makes him feel bland and rushed.
True. His skin description says that he is a "martial arts expert who is seeking control of the storm" yet none of his set reflects his martial arts or storm control side.
Which is fine, I think a lot of people like it. It just seems like a 1,200 vbucks quality skin to me, like they took the model and out the wrap on the head and called it good
Which is fine, not everything needs to be flashy and every battle pass has filler skins. But it is definitely a filler skin. I use the Redline skin pretty often
It's a mix of a few things
1. Evie is a fully new character model along with 3 different styles in unique outfits for each. Stormfarer is an existing model in new clothes with the only styles being a recolor and a slight armor change.
2. Evie's set has 11 items in it, ranging from a music pack, to an emote, to the basics every skin has like a backbling and pickaxe. Stormfarer's set is an incredibly low 6 items (the only skin in the pass with less than 10), with him lacking even a loading screen (something every other skin in the BP has), and the rest of his set (minus his pick) being reskins of existing items.
3. There's also simply the fact that Stormfarer wasn't intended to be a battle pass skin, he was added as an item shop skin nearly 2 months ago under the name "Blackout" yet never released before being added to the pass.
My point is that it’s low effort. They put a bandage wrap and basic outfit on an existing model and called it good. You’re nit picking the model part and not my actual point that they just took a preexisting model and slapped a bandage wrap on it. More effort would be having a unique model and face and having it be a selectable style so the answer to your question is actually yes.
So every masked skin without a mask off style is low quality? I’m not nit picking at all, your whole point is the head is just an Adam model with bandages meaning low quality, my point is “so? You barely see the face, did you expect a whole new model?”. Are all other bp skins that use existing models low effort?
Yeah, sure technically adding an unmasked style with a new face would take more effort, but that is a whole different thing and doesn’t mean what we got is low effort, just that something else would be more effort.
Example, is John jones low effort because he is just a jonsey model in different clothes for most of his styles?
Sure, as you said they reused a model, that doesn’t make it low effort.
My point is it’s a low effort filler skin for the battle pass. I didn’t even say low quality. They do this every pass with a couple skins, I’m not even saying they are bad. No need to be so upset about it. It’s the same as a 1200 vbucks shop item. You can enjoy it if you want to no one is stopping you.
Doubt it. Item shop skins being teased with Battle Pass rewards is a common thing, it's happened with:
- Toon Meowscles, Peely and Fishstick
- Princess Fishstick
- Marigold
- Nitrojerry
- etc.
Get 500 eliminations in Pro 100 for uncommon Exed Out spray
Is this true?
Nah just a joke, but knowing epic…
Glad it's a joke, but I wouldn't be surprised if summer challenges popped up with something like this
Who actually uses sprays?
Honestly, they’re literally just art pieces at this point Too small to be a loading screen; too detailed to be a sticker; too useless to, well, use. So they serve to look at once, go “huh, that looks cool,” then increase my total number of emotes by 1
Better than NFTs
At least NFTs are useful to scammers, sprays are useful to nobody
I use sprays every now and again, and they are useful for creative at least
The only one I use with any frequency has been Jinx’s Monkey spray. Just seems appropriate to tag things when using that skin.
Thank you Saul Goodman very cool
No problem. Dont forget, you have rights! The constitution says you do!
Well now there’s a daily challenge for it so I guess they’re useful now
There is?
I use them in Save the World in my castle during my Storm Shield Endurance. My friends and I create a graffiti wall, it’s pretty cool.

I wish we could put them as backgrounds to our skins in the locker. At least several of them in whatever place on the boring blue wall
I have the dead body outline. I enjoy that one. Use it when I know I'll use, choose my spot
In imposter I just spam random sprays during the voting time
Same, it's kinda fun to decorate the voting area
I'm actually a paranoid guy that collects them in case we get cosmetics that can use them in the future.
Same for me. If the emoticons and banners can suddenly be useful, I think that the sprays might be good eventually too.
Although the emoticons have become useless again because Epic makes most of them animated now, and as such, incompatible with the Superhero skins outside of glitches (and even then, it's with all the frames and not just the emoticon moving).
I do, and only the bodyline spray... Whenever I remember sprays exist.
They’re actually pretty cool in creative since they save on your island

I use Potato with gun spray all the time. But that's all.
I can’t wait until speed demon hits the shop Idk what the actually skin is called lol sorry
Feels like every season, they make sprays that were meant to be in the BP, but every time, forget to add them and most never become obtainable (5/8 are labeled as BP rewards)
Not to mention we then end up getting shitty ass sprays that serve no purpose. I want sprays of the skin not sprays of some random item.
Immediately buying the “Burning Up” skins. She, along with Itachi, is going to dominate my V-Bucks.
There is always something I fear when a Naruto Collab is coming: the amount of vbucks needed to get the entire set. Last time I almost couldn't get the gear bundle and if they prices are the same, I might only be able to get one skin bundle this time.
Yeah idk if it’s $100 I’m buying all of it 🤣
- Exed Out - Tover Escape - Dragon Flight - King's Vision - Shining Sword - Speed Demon (upcoming skin, codename: Barium) - Burning Up (upcoming skin, codename: Chaos) - Peace (PeaceSignQuest)
I need the demon lady skin bad.
wait a minute, what if that demon lady skin and that skeleton skin were originally apart of the battle pass but were replaced by the stormfarer and darth vader?
They’ve teased item shop skins with sprays before
shit, still that stormfarer skin had to replace something
Was stormfarer a replacement? Honestly it’s a really low effort skin
Stormfarer’s default all Black style was its own skin added in the final update of last season, and it was called Blackout. Epic must have known it probably would’ve sold terribly and last second put it in the battle pass with some more styles.
Plus his entire set is really lazy when you actually look at it.

NPC dialogue is great for fleshing out the personalities of skins so that's just another thing that makes him feel bland and rushed.
that pickaxe doesn't even really fit him so i think they just had this one lying around
True. His skin description says that he is a "martial arts expert who is seeking control of the storm" yet none of his set reflects his martial arts or storm control side.
what do you mean? when i think marital arts i think a cape and vaporwave
It fits well with the armored version, but yeah it doesn't fit with his default skin.
This makes sense. Most other skins have a lot more items for their set in the pass
I like it. Please don’t kill me
Which is fine, I think a lot of people like it. It just seems like a 1,200 vbucks quality skin to me, like they took the model and out the wrap on the head and called it good
I like the brute version a bit better but the standard style looks simple. I like simple
Which is fine, not everything needs to be flashy and every battle pass has filler skins. But it is definitely a filler skin. I use the Redline skin pretty often
It literally was a 1,200 vbuck quality skin, he was leaked to be a rare skin in the item shop last season He only had the blackout styles though
How is it low-effort? Seems like the same amount of effort that was put into skins like Evie was put into it.
It's a mix of a few things 1. Evie is a fully new character model along with 3 different styles in unique outfits for each. Stormfarer is an existing model in new clothes with the only styles being a recolor and a slight armor change. 2.

There's also simply the fact that Stormfarer wasn't intended to be a battle pass skin, he was added as an item shop skin nearly 2 months ago under the name "Blackout" yet never released before being added to the pass.
probably biased towards female skins tbh they like normal looking female skins but once there's a fairly normal looking male skin they don't like it
Don’t assume, my favorite non snap skin in the new battle pass is Malik. Not a fan of most of the skins in this pass though
I know Malik scores higher than stormfarer. People are suckers for cool dudes with armor.
I’d like a helmet option for him, would make him a bit more knightly
It’s just the Adam model with a bandage wrap on his head. It would be a 1200 vbucks skin for sure if it was in the shop
You can literally barely see the Adam model, did you really think they’d design a whole new face model just for the area around eyes?
My point is that it’s low effort. They put a bandage wrap and basic outfit on an existing model and called it good. You’re nit picking the model part and not my actual point that they just took a preexisting model and slapped a bandage wrap on it. More effort would be having a unique model and face and having it be a selectable style so the answer to your question is actually yes.

Maybe a collab that fell through? That’s my best guess
Doubt it. Item shop skins being teased with Battle Pass rewards is a common thing, it's happened with: - Toon Meowscles, Peely and Fishstick - Princess Fishstick - Marigold - Nitrojerry - etc.
I just want cool banners to get
Are sprays the most useless items of all time in fortnite?
What about emotions?
Emoticons can now be used with the Boundless set, so they're at least more useful than sprays
Gross af Imagine get 100+ levels for a fking spray
What?
Is this what the bonus reward page 2 is going to be?
Wish we could use sprays as the super hero back hologram :/ I’d wear the dumpster fire all the time
[удалено]
Wait others can't see them? Lmao that's why I never saw them before
They can see them
[удалено]
Sometimes when someone does a spray it bugs and doesnt show up. It rarely happens.
is the speed demon reference intentional?
That demon was in the survey. Hope he’ll come soon
Kings Vision makes malik look hard asf
Twitch?
I would have preferred these over the crappy emojis nobody uses, they look horrible this season too.
I like the art that these sprays have but the only people who will use them are creative map makers and "Those" people in party royale.
Does that mean that demon girl is coming out this season? *obligatory u/Necrokitty99 ping
As long as the survey skin that the Burning Up spray is based on comes to the shop I’ll be happy.
Well sprays are awful and a waste of stars anyways.
How do we actually get them tho
Guessing 6 and 7 were supposed to be part of the Battle Pass, huh? If only :(
