Overview
- Fortnite players voice strong criticism regarding the Best in Show bundle, which costs 3, 500 V-Bucks.
- Many feel that the bundle’s four individual designs should have been grouped as a single skin with various styles.
- Gamers have also raised concerns about the pricing of Kicks in the game.
In the ever-evolving landscape of Fortnite, players are expressing discontent regarding the recently introduced Best in Show bundle, which comprises four distinct skins along with an array of accessories. This latest offering presents new creative designs, a trend that has been overshadowed by the influx of high-profile collaborations that have characterized recent updates.
With the launch of Chapter 6 Season 2, Epic Games has introduced significant modifications to the game, affecting loot availability, map dynamics, and cosmetic options. The season’s theme revolves around organized crime, engaging players in thrilling activities like planting explosives and breaking into vaults for the chance to claim valuable weapons and gold. Notably, the highly popular character Midas has made a comeback in this update, adding to the season’s allure. However, not all new cosmetic items have found favor with the community.
In a Reddit thread, user ProdbyPyxlwhip articulated their disappointment over the Best in Show bundle, which coincided with the game’s latest update. This collection features four skins inspired by popular dog breeds—Shiba Inu, Corgi, Dobermann, and French Bulldog—each designed with a professional flair. Priced individually at 1, 200 V-Bucks, the total cost to purchase all skins separately would amount to 8, 100 V-Bucks, whereas the entire bundle is available for 3, 500 V-Bucks. For context, a pack of 1, 000 V-Bucks retails for approximately $8.99 at select retailers.

A significant number of players echoed ProdbyPyxlwhip’s sentiments, arguing that the bundle’s individual skins should have been consolidated into a single skin featuring diverse edit styles. Similar critiques were directed at the included dog bowl back blings and tennis ball harvesters, with several community members deeming the designs as lacking in effort and somewhat exploitative. Conversely, others defended Epic Games, noting that purchasing these cosmetics remains entirely voluntary. Additionally, the much-anticipated Jam Track for the popular song “Who Let The Dogs Out”was advertised alongside the bundle, yet it was notably absent from the actual release, disappointing fans who had expected it to be part of the purchase.
This moment of controversy regarding pricing is certainly not isolated. Recently, Epic Games has also faced backlash over the cost of Kicks in Fortnite. While enhancements like sneakers have introduced fresh fashion elements to the game, some players are dismayed by the steep pricing of certain Nike and Adidas Kicks, which can exceed 1, 000 V-Bucks—making them pricier than complete outfits in the game.
