Fortnite gives players a rare chance to get free cosmetics, but there is a catch.
Fortnite has earned a lot in selling skins, emotes, and other in-game features. Free cosmetics are quite hard to get; mostly they are given during Christmas.
Players mainly get skins through battle passes, events, or any kind of special promotion or in-game achievement.
Looking at some Twitter posts from HYPEX where they stated that Fortnite is working on converting skins and legacy shoes into Kicks Cosmetics, which you will get for the skin.
Looking at the post, we can say this feature is finally going to come.
Fortnite kicks might not suck after all.
Kicks were introduced in Fortnite to hype up the character customization, but the result was quite the opposite.
This future was delayed over visual issues; later, 35 skins like Solid Snak and Goku Black were introduced.
The biggest drawback was the price; it was expensive. It might cost 1,00 V-bucks. It was not quite interesting because players could not move their feet for most of the game, so it was quite pointless to invest so much.
There is quite a mixed opinion on this; some call it a game changer, while others call it pointless. This depends on how each player looks at it. Epic always follows through on skins that originally came with the basic shoes and grants those shoes as separate as free-kick cosmetics.
