Today Epic Games released the v10.10 patch for Fortnite, an update that returned Retail Row (now filled with Fiends) and unvaulted the Infinity Blade in a special LTM.

Along with these and other gameplay updates, dataminers have found a bunch of new skins, Back Bling, Harvesting Tools, Wraps and more in the patch files. There are also new styles for previously released skins. We'll start with those.

New "hoodless" styles have been released for the following two skins:

The next two skins have actually been altered by Epic Games. The new "muddy" styles are part of the new patch, and are designed to make the skin easier to see.

Apparently both Toy Trooper and Plastic Patroller were too camouflaged in some areas. Alongside these red styles the normal green style is now muddy.

There's also this new Starter Pack that's been leaked:

The pack includes:

  • Red Strike outfit/skin
  • Bladed Bag Back Bling
  • 600 V-Bucks

Leaked Skins

Now on to the regular leaks. We have a number of very cool skins and accompanying cosmetics to peruse. A couple of these are must-buys as far as I'm concerned (but I'm a hopeless collector at this point).

The first two of these leaked skins have two styles each, but I'm not really a huge fan of either.

Oppressor (Legendary) Out of time, and out for vengeance.

I very much prefer these next two skins. This first one is basically Star Fox.

Fennix (Rare) – Never outfoxed.

I like this next one even more. For one thing, it's one of the only "elderly" skins we've seen in this game. For another, I love old kung fu masters.

Shifu (Rare) Master of harmonious victory.

Apex Legends players raging over Iron Crown event cosmetic pricing - Polygon

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 03:13 PM PDT

Respawn Entertainment launched a major update to Apex Legends earlier today, featuring a new event called Iron Crown. The event is running for a limited time, and introduces exclusive cosmetics that players can only unlock while the event is live. Just a few hours after the launch of the event, the Apex Legends community made it clear that they are not happy at all with how these new cosmetics are being doled out.

The big issue with players, as expressed on places like the Apex Legends subreddit, seems to be the pricing and availability of the Iron Crown event packs. If you haven't played Apex Legends in a while, the pricing model can be a little tricky to crack, but the basics are that it'll run players 700 Apex Coins to open each Iron Crown pack, or about $7 in real money. There are 24 Iron Crown packs in total, two of which can be earned through gameplay, so players looking to unlock everything will have to throw down $154. Ouch.

For those that don't feel like they need every single cosmetic, they're still at the whims of the RNG of loot boxes, which means they could be $100 in the hole before getting a desired skin, even without duplicates in these boxes.

This post on the Apex Legends subreddit from u/HerpMcHerp does a good job summarizing players' complaints, but it's one of many posts that have bubbled up to the top of the subreddit since the launch of the Iron Crown event.

Given that Apex Legends is a free-to-play game, it's no surprise that cosmetics would be expensive, but tying a gambling mechanic in the form of loot boxes to time-limited cosmetics seems particularly harsh for players. We've reached out to Respawn to see if they have any response regarding the blowback.

The Shopping Team’s August Under-$100 MVPs (Most Valuable Products) - Refinery29

Posted: 14 Aug 2019 02:01 PM PDT

Here on the Refinery29 Shopping team, we see it all. All the new arrivals, all the top sellers, all the sales, and countless pitches on products ranging from snow boots to butt spas. We spend our days combing the inventory of retailers big and small, looking for the must-haves that will help our readers solve a problem, feel their best, or indulge in some self-care. (We also occasionally buy things for ourselves in the process.) All of this researching, browsing, and buying has given us a pretty good handle on what's a good value and what isn't — so you better believe that when we do see a stellar buy, much cross-cubicle chatter ensues.

The Goop Beauty Shopping Guide: A Review of Every Product - Who What Wear

Posted: 14 Aug 2019 09:09 PM PDT

As someone who writes about countless beauty brands on a daily basis from the closed-off confines of my desk, I'm always curious to know what's actually resonating out in the real consumer world. Perhaps not so surprisingly, I get a lot of leads from the responses to my product-studded Instagram Stories. One theme I haven't been able to ignore? People are completely obsessed with and intrigued by Goop Beauty (which, in case you're not familiar, is the brand's impressive line of clean, nontoxic skincare).  

Considering the brand's commitment to high-quality, and organic ingredients, price tags run high, and I receive DMs on a weekly basis about my thoughts. Are the products worth the bank account plunge? Are they as great as they sound? Do they actually work? How do they compare to other clean beauty products? So on and so forth. However, there was one minute glitch: Up until somewhat recently, I'd only barely dabbled into the brand's tempting pool of offerings. Therefore, I did what any responsible beauty editor would do, and I called in every product for research. The goal: try everything and report back with all of my honest findings. 

If I had ended up hating everything, the experiment could have been a complete disaster, but to my very pleasant surprise (I've slowly evolved into quite the beauty skeptic), I truly loved the majority of formulas I scrubbed, rubbed, and massaged into my skin. Everyone has different skin types and skin concerns, so my experience and thoughts definitely aren't gospel, but as someone who has been around the block in terms of products and natural skincare exposure, I feel pretty well-versed when it comes to judging the efficacy and worthwhileness of a product. (It's in my job description, after all!) Ahead, the 10 Goop Beauty products I'm officially obsessed with and would add to your shopping cart ASAP. Keep scrolling!

Why Players Are Mad About Fortnite Selling A Dog [Update: Dog Will Be Refunded] - Kotaku

Posted: 14 Aug 2019 08:43 AM PDT

The latest batch of cosmetics for sale in Fortnite's item shop seems to feature a familiar furry face. For 1000 V-Bucks, players can get Gunner, a wearable pet that looks awfully similar to Bonesy, a wearable pet from season 6.

Bonesy was one of the first pets Epic released for Fortnite, as part of the season 6 battle pass. The basic version was tan, with unlockable styles that could make the dog gray or dark brown. While riding the train last night, I saw that Epic tweeted a new pet, Gunner, available in the item store. I zoomed around the image for a good five minutes, trying to figure out how it wasn't Bonesy. As I got cell service long enough to read the Twitter comments, I saw that some of them were pointing out that Gunner, unlike Bonesy, is apparently wearing a hood. There's also a small white stamp on Gunner's bandana, and Gunner's eyes are blue, where Bonesy's are brown.

Left: Gunner. Right, Bonesy

Gunner and Bonesy are...different, technically speaking. But 1000 V-Bucks (that's 50 more than the whole season 10 battle pass) for a difference you'd only notice if you squint seems like a lot. "You can barely notice the mask," one Twitter user wrote. "Why would I pay 1,000 for something that looks like something from a Battle Pass? Yeah no thanks," wrote another. Another wrote, "1000 vbucks for a copy of Bonesy, nice."

Reddit users are equally baffled. "You can barely tell it's a different style because the yellow is the same colour as his fur," wrote one. Another wrote, "Nobody in their right mind is paying 1000 for Bonesy 2."

As Eurogamer pointed out, Epic faced similar backlash in June with the Summer Drift skin, a 1500 V-Buck restyle of the Drift skin available in season 5's battle pass. At the time, fans took issue with Epic selling what felt like styles for a battle pass-only skin in the item shop, which the company had previously said wouldn't happen: the in-game FAQ for the battle pass calls its items "exclusive in game rewards...that will not be obtainable again." Summer Drift at least looked notably different, especially from afar, but some players are worried ostensible reskins of battle pass loot are becoming an item shop trend. "It started with Summer Drift but people mocked those who said it's a slippery slope. If people are really ok with the criteria of 'not identical' then I bet in a month we'll see a wave of BP restyles hit the item shop," wrote one Reddit user.

Here's one potential silver lining: the players who missed out on Bonesy in the season 6 battle pass might now have a kind of second chance with Gunner, and 1000 V-Bucks isn't out of line for an Epic-rarity item. But the similarity to Bonesy makes Gunner pretty unappealing for people who already own the original dog. Plus, if you care about Fortnite's cosmetics, it's a bit disheartening to see something so similar to a supposedly exclusive battle pass item for sale.

Update 3:19pm— An Epic spokesperson reached out to Kotaku with the following statement:

We should not have released the Gunner Pet and apologize for doing so.

Within the next couple of days, all purchases of Gunner will be refunded for the full amount of 1000 V-bucks as well as an additional 200 V-bucks and the Pet will be removed from the Locker.

Anyone who purchased Gunner and refunds it prior to this make-good will instead receive 200 V-bucks and an additional refund token that can be put towards any eligible items that were purchased within the past 30 days.

Destiny 2’s Solstice of Heroes’ cosmetic pricing is frustrating players - Polygon

Posted: 13 Aug 2019 06:30 AM PDT

Destiny's community has a complicated relationship with the in-game cosmetic Eververse store. Early in Destiny 2, players complained that all of the good cosmetics were hidden behind the Eververse store. Some of Bungie's recent practices have returned to those frustrating times. And with the recent Solstice of Heroes holiday event, the Eververse store has become more contentious than ever before.

Something had to change

Very few items offered in the Eververse store cost real-world money. Players have always been able to buy most of what Tess Everise has to offer by simply playing Destiny 2. Players can earn loot boxes by spending time in Destiny 2, or buy them if they want to catch up on drops.

Players earn a Bright Engram every time they level up past the max level. Since Destiny 2's launch, these mini-loot boxes have featured all the new items from the latest season or expansion.

If you didn't have time to play a lot of Destiny, you could always buy some of these items with real money by purchasing a bundle of Bright Engrams. But for the dedicated player, the idea of spending money on Destiny 2, outside of a new expansion or season pass, was unnecessary.

I've spent more than 1,000 hours in Destiny 2 over the past two years. In that time, I've accumulated most of the Eververse's seasonal inventories without spending a dime. Many of my hardcore friends are the same way.

A change in strategy

With Season of Opulence, the studio started to make moves toward being less generous with its players. While the Eververse store has new Opulence-themed items, the freebie Bright Engram doesn't include them. Instead it's a rehash of old items from past seasons called the Best of Year One Engram.

For players like myself who already owned all of those items, every level up became a shower of Bright Dust. This in-game currency, earned by breaking down duplicate Eververse items, can buy items directly from the store (including the new Opulence items). In Season of Opulence, players can only get new items by purchasing them with Bright Dust or Destiny 2's premium currency, Silver.

A few weeks after the Season of Opulence's launch, Bungie franchise director Luke Smith announced changes to the Eververse system and Bright Dust economy coming this fall. Instead of breaking down items into Bright Dust, everything is getting converted to the more ubiquitous Legendary Shards currency. To earn Bright Dust, players will just need to play the game, as the currency will come from all kinds of different activities now.

Smith urged players to save up as much as Bright Dust as they could. This sounds like great news for players, but the way Bungie would balance the new Bright Dust economy — easier access likely meaning higher prices — has always been a question.

Draining resources

Destiny 2 Solstice of Heroes store offerings Bungie

Since the announcement, players have encountered two major roadblocks for following Smith's instructions.

The first is a location called the Tribute Hall — a virtual achievement palace. Players earn Tributes like in-game achievements, and achievement thresholds come with rewards — like the Bad Juju Exotic for half of the Tributes, or an Exotic emote once you earn them all. To earn some of the achievements, players need to dump piles of Bright Dust to purchase statues. Players could complete bounties to reduce the prices of the more expensive statues, but even at the maximum discount it takes thousands of Bright Dust to buy them all.

A few weeks later, Bungie deployed the Solstice of Heroes holiday event. During past holidays, Bungie usually provided two Bright Engrams every time a player leveled up. The first was tied to the current season, while the second was holiday-themed — and both were filled with new items.

Players who played a lot during these events could earn all sorts of seasonal and holiday-themed items for their Guardians. But this year's Solstice of Heroes event doesn't grant any bonus Engrams, with a level up only yielding a single Bright Engram — the Best of Year One.

All of Solstice's new cosmetic items are direct purchase from the Eververse store using Bright Dust or Silver, just like the Opulence items.

This is a lot of change in a single season. While Bungie was clearly being too generous before, this is a drastic swing in the other direction. Holidays in Destiny 2 used to feel like a great time to return to the game and get some fun items, but now the cosmetic incentive is gone if you don't have cash or dust to burn.

Inconsistent Pricing

In addition to the new holiday feeling more like a pop-up store than free community event, the prices of the new Eververse items are extreme and inconsistent. Players immediately noticed the costs of these items, and weren't happy with the new prices.

The Bright Dust to Silver ratio also isn't consistent. The first week of Solstice of Heroes, Tess sold the fabulous Micro Mini sparrow for 2,500 Bright Dust — pretty expensive. The same Sparrow is 800 Silver, or about eight dollars.

Armor glows — which turn the Solstice of Heroes armor different colors based on the ones you buy — also cost 800 Silver.

Destiny YouTuber Datto breaks down more pricing in his video above.

Players have lost a lot in a span of one season, and the growing pains are putting a serious damper on one of Destiny 2's best holiday events. With Smith's recent declaration about players saving their Bright Dust, it's hard not to feel like the Tribute Hall and Solstice's inflated prices are intended to drain resources ahead of Shadowkeep.

Bungie may have been too generous in the past, but this swing in this opposite direction is giving fans whiplash. As Datto mentions in his video above, there's an imbalance of cool cosmetics players can earn in-game and items locked behind a paywall.

As Bungie makes decisions that are best for the studio, fans need to expect some growing pains along the way. But the developer also has to be careful with how it prices cosmetic items in the future, or face the wrath of an increasingly frustrated community.
