Fortnite players claim they were robbed of the Ares skin originally planned for the Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass.
However, since all the Greek Gods this season are part of the Battle Pass to tie in with the Myths and Mortals theme, the exclusion of Ares from the Battle Pass has ticked off players.
Fortnite please next time don’t get rid of your banger character designs from being Battle Pass, all because of a damn random collabIdc even if the collab is a dream one of mine. This is just such a baaad idea. Like why…………………….pic.twitter.com/3QZJ5SIU9K
The community now believes the skin was originally planned for theBattle Passbut instead got released in the Crew Pack and thinks the Avatar Korra collab skin replaced him.
“He was literally the skin I was most excited for, why did a Collab have to replace him”, said one user. “I agree if he was in the battle pass we could have gotten a glider, wrap, emote, contrail, the works. Possibly even another pickaxe maybe a badass sword”, chimed in another player.
Moreover, a third one commented, “We were robbed heavily, he could’ve had great styles and a full set but no they had to put a random collab skin in the pass.”
