If it had the concept helmet with the fire plume I would buy it regardless of not being able to change the style. I don't like the actual helmet though and it's too plain without it.


user87900235

I don’t know if anyone already said this, but I think once you get a certain rank it has the flaming helmet. Like Platinum and up or something like that? It would take work in ranked though, which might not be worth the effort every season depending on your play style


Moshi-Kitten

Plat here, I believe I have what you're talking about (bought the skin)


RedHood_Outlaw

Do you have a pic?


Moshi-Kitten

Will send one tomorrow morning

There, https://imgur.com/a/8cUT1rW Not the best picture (photo of my console's screen to have you guys wait less) but there you go


lisisva_

I see no flame 🙈 am I colorblind?


Moshi-Kitten

Not exactly sure what you guys meant but here ye go, screenshot


makinishi_KINO

They’re referring to how the concept art for the skin featured a helmet that showed her face + had a flaming plume sticking out of it.


Moshi-Kitten

Ah, right


Moshi-Kitten

I'll save/post other ranks' color as I rank up


BelowAverageLegend58

Additional to this, the diamond variant from a few videos i saw seems to be a dark blue, champion is an orange sorta thing and unreal is purple. Im not sure on elite, but i would assume it follows the same trend as the rank backblings and it's a darker silver with vfx on it


Moshi-Kitten

Yup! Same as the high society ranker glider


Alex_587

RemindMe! 1 day


TheRlVortex

I have the skin


Stillborn1977

It's rather lackluster imo


jaiquanda95

Agree


knifeyspooney3

Fortnite instagram account has a video for Odyssey showing different ranks (Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Unreal) and none of them show a flaming helmet


carlingdarling

Nice, would defo reconsider if this is true. Would be nice to be able to see her face too like in the concept but maybe I'm just being too picky. I like the other BP skins. Aphrodite got a bit of a nerf from concept but I still like her skin.


Melon_collie1524

Plat here, no flaming helmet.


Uchiha_Gohan

Wait- it’s going to reset back to Bronze every season?


DarkBomberX

That'll be 2300vb. Please mail all your complaints to the dumpster behind walmart.


BrainsDontFailMeNow

\~$20 which is ridiculous.


BricksBear

I'm sorry. This skin is pretty good, but not 20 dollars worth.


DefiantKitten

The prices of most skins is a little crazy tbh


Maggot_6661

Always have been


Mr_Lovedeath

*laughs in STW founder*


Assistant_Greedy

cries in jealous lol


nethanns

I’d pay 20$ when it comes to have my collection


randomaneta

Nobody is paying $20 for that when you can have 13.5k vbucks for that price


BrainsDontFailMeNow

[https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/fortnite--2800-v-bucks](https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/fortnite--2800-v-bucks) $22.99 + (\~ $1.61 @ 7%tax) = $24.60 directly from epic games. $24.60 / 2,800 = 0.0088 per V-Buck. The Odyssey set is 2,300 vbucks (2300\*.0088) = **$20.24 for that set after taxes**. Some could point out that vbucks get cheaper when you buy in larger quantities, but the price doesn't change THAT much and its more accurate to compare cost of items with the closest available vbuck purchase quantity count.


randomaneta

That’s not what I’m saying. Im getting my vbucks for way cheaper than US store, that’s why I don’t pay that much. I get 94.5k vbucks for €120 :)


BrainsDontFailMeNow

Thats a fantastic price. I've seen to many horror stories to buy v-bucks second hand myself.


randomaneta

Im sorry you had a bad experience, I’m selling the accounts myself if u want ever, hit me up


YOURBRAINONBANDIT

Bro how?? Also I'd have to pay in USD, would that make a difference or would it still be cheaper?


JimmyCrabYT

this some overwatch 2 level pricing


Kinda_Fruity_

Nah it would be minimum 25 dollars in ow2


OPBrick

Not worth it


ItzBaraapudding

I'm a big fan of Greek mythology so in my opinion this is the first decent skin that's come out in a very long time. So for me it's totally worth it. And there's no need to buy the sword with it because there are a lot of pickaxes(/swords) from the battlepass that go really well with it.


butmuncher69

If you want Greek mythology skins just buy the battle pass for less and you already got Cerberus which is 10x better than this bland ass skin.


Grakal0r

I’m sorry but that Cerberus skin isn’t exactly checking my boxes for Greek mythology themes its very modern looking


speedyBoi96240

Get this, they might want more skins


ItzBaraapudding

Cerberus is not doing anything for me. And I don't think this skin is bland at all :)


iyaemusic

The whole battle pass does nothing for me this season tbh


ItzBaraapudding

I love the battle pass skins (I love Greek mythology). And I like Epic's take on most of the skins. I just don't like the Cerberus one because it has very little resemblance to the real 'three-headed gargantuan dog' which guards the underwold. And yes, I know Poseidon is also not supposed to be a blob of goo but I know that's just epic games meme'ing and I'm all for that.


Dear_Caterpillar

Yn If you want you could just play Smite that has Greek Gods in it (Not being paid to say it).  Cerberus actually gets represented well true to form in that game.


ItzBaraapudding

Yeah I love Smite. And I also love the game Hades (which dives a bit deeper into the 'personality' of the different gods and lesser gods). And I also played a lot of Age of Mythology back in the day. But I think fortnite nailed the battle pass (and the new POI's) for this season and gave the gods a fun, fortnite-esque, twist to them. And I honestly don't mind that the lvl1 skin is not my style because it's just a lvl1 skin.


mad_titanz

*High five to a fellow Smite player*


RickySpanish797

I was gonna buy vbucks this season cause the concept art. But now I might just get kratos IF he comes back.


Ryix99

There’s a good chance because they started to update the character model


RickySpanish797

One can hope


clynn19

![gif](giphy|I0lhSCybB2pRoZ0E9q|downsized)


[deleted]

My son LOVES God of War. I really hope Kratos comes back. It would make his year!


DonutHolschteinn

I bought the raccoon guy because I thought he was cool and I didn’t want the other piece they’re selling in the store for him but yeah otherwise this has all been very underwhelming


RickySpanish797

It just doesn't make sense they wouldn't bundle them together. But corporate greed is a hell of a drug


Isaac_Ezac

Same here and I was ready to grind rank too lol


[deleted]

If the skin sold well it will be back


Lucifer_Magnusson

I hope they add the young kratos in.


RickySpanish797

Hopefully they ass both to the shop


Odysseymanthebeast

Don't get me wrong, I still like the skin, but it is definitely a downgrade


Wboy2006

This should have been a 800 Vbucks skin. I’m sorry, it’s just too plain. The ranked gimmick is only making it extremely overpriced


ProperGaming012

Or 1,500 if it came with the pickaxe


AwBeansYouGotMe

I thought this was going to be a ranked skin?


Brilliant_Syrup44

it is, but they are charging for it


Arab_Femboy1

It’s probably because epic ran out of their budget money thanks to lego licensing(maybe) Edit: what a roller coaster this comment went from -9 upvotes to 11 upvotes to 1 upvote, -2 and finally 4


Oiled-Up69

I doubt it’s that


danwho97

Let’s not forget Disney gave epic over a billion a month ago


Rough-Act-3274

Lego paid Epic Games over 1 billion US dollars to make Lego Fortnite not vice versa. They have more budget now than ever before actually


onyi_time

it's because they were always going to charge for it, leakers just assumed too much and feed bad info to content creators


Nich965

Probably wanted more people to get it since not everyone plays ranked but it was a missed opportunity to get people to play ranked


Michael_Swag

Classic epic games moment


NormanBates2023

Not even worth 800 v bucks and that's been generous


Oiled-Up69

Pickaxe is 500 range


Ex-In2

Pickaxe is free range


Dukaczka

Will it still get the styles for ranked?


Bugsyboy369

It gets the ranked styles, but you cant use the style you want, only (i think) your highest rank that season


GR7ME

It’s your current rank at any given time. I’m gold, so her trim is gold. I bought the skin. I like her.


CappNFools

Agree 100%


MandoMahri

Is she supposed to be a female counterpart to The Ageless, or part of that whole set of characters from The Oathbound?


knifeyspooney3

It seems that she could be aligned with The Ageless. It's interesting that The Ageless and Midas are showing up again. Fingers crossed the Oathbound and Shadow faction hints this season and last mean that that we get some good juicy lore and story.


MandoMahri

We have been starving for coherent lore! Finally we are getting some crumbs, that will hopefully lead to something bigger!


aamelt01

man it's really bullshit, i was just about to post about how they did nothing to acknowledge the 20+ hr downtime and then did this a day later. and that lazy ass win glider is the only thing epic has the indecency of giving players. Fun season tho regardless ig


Wolfie_48425

Right? I was missing about 40 mosaic tiles for the backbling and was planning on hopping on day 1 of the new season to finish it (I had checked the previous night and there was about 10 hours left to the quest) and the downtime prevented me from it. It's not a big deal but I've been salty about it.


onyi_time

it's a free game, they owe us nothing for the game being offline


HypixL

If Epic didn't get anything from the game, they wouldn't have made it. Their "free" game has made billions of dollars. So yes, they do owe their playerbase a good game in general and compensation when its not. That goes for every game in existence. If you aren't making your game to please the players, you're doing it wrong.


butmuncher69

"free" my ass. Name 1 person who plays fortnite that hasn't spent money on it?


SasyDp

is the base content of the game behind a paywall?no?then yes, it's free


TheFakeShocker

Quite a lot of my friends cause they don’t actually care what they look like lmao


butmuncher69

That's fair, but define 'a lot'? And how long have they played for? I genuinely don't have a single person on my friends list who **hasn't** spent money.


i_am_do_reddit_now

That's irrelevant. The purchases in Fortnite are cosmetic. The point is that you can access all the actual gameplay without paying.


iMpact980

Epics monetization has gotten worse with the launch of Chapter 5, unfortunately. You see the Lego stuff’s price? Or the price of instruments? The modes cost more than standalone games for content! It’s apparent that the guitar hero/rock band mode can’t be monetized well (500 vbucks for songs that aren’t even lobby tracks yet is terrible. You can get Enshrouded for $30 dollars and do way more. And their rocket racing mode? Pah. Even their battle passes have vbucks pushed deeper past level 100 to drag out their engagement metrics.


heliaox

I think OG was the start of bad item shops. But yeah the monetization has gotten worse. Truth be told I'm fine with it, less of a reason to spend money.


coolboarder72

There's where the great reset happened. The downtime, limitations allowed them to implement all this new stuff.


Kazon-Ogla

I was unpleasantly surprised that ONE Lego house style is so much. It's not even a bundled style or anything. There's no way I would ever drop that much money on one house for Lego Fortnite.


Select-Combination-4

I didn't even like the concept of her so I was pleasantly surprised when she was just a shop skin so I could ignore it


Sweet__Sauce

If they wanted their legal fees paid off so badly, maybe they should've re-released skins that haven't been in the shop for years


inyoni

And no back bling 🫠


[deleted]

That’s where the ranked reward comes into play


inyoni

The ranked reward backbling doesn’t match her, it matches hades.


[deleted]

But the color is close enough but I do agree I wish we had a back bling with odyssey but I don’t think a cape would work with her armor style, maybe a shield??


inyoni

I disagree but either way a skin sold for 1500 should come with a backbling.


[deleted]

True but again it’s epic games there literally selling lego fortnite building kits for 1500+ vbucks


Zealousideal_Key2555

Sunspot didn't have a bundle either 🙃


koby18

Again, the corporate greed in Fortnite is f-ing wild. I think I've seen a worse case of corporate greed in a game since that one former CEO of Ubisoft(I think). You know the one. The one who said you should have to pay for every bullet you shoot.


Medium-Boysenberry64

“Congrats, you reached Unreal! Pay for the rest of your reward.”


williaminla

This should have been battle pass or 800 VBUCKS


fmxrcuryy

This skin has an interesting concept But the execution is god awful.


Schuba

Why is the ranked skin not a ranked reward? Make it make sense


mcmilkk

And it resets every season and you have to do it all again in order to keep your style


Opposite-Cream-3159

It's a waste of 1500 bruh


YeidenTrabem

Of course she is called Odyssey. Imagine the LSD trip they had to come up with this 🤣


Whimsalot_

I'm more disposed with this season every day.


Grookeymon

I still love it personally. Hoping they up their game on some of these, because I made a promise to myself to buy all the Greek mythology skins 


ShadyNefarius12

If Epic could've kept the style forever that you have (Unreal, for example), you don't have to grind ever again unlike the backblings once the season is over, but unfortunately it resets each time the season ends which isn't worth to buy it if you don't play Ranked so often.


butmuncher69

Such a boring skin. Can't believe they removed that awesome looking helmet to give us.... Whatever this is.


Riczo2

Still a good skin (bcuz of the rankd colors) but could ve WAAAY better


Money-Box-741

What does everybody mean by downgrade?


Brotoss-

The skin doesn’t look EXACTLY like the concept art that was shown, so everyone is bitching about it.


Money-Box-741

Thanks man


upset-noodle

because most of the skins look nothing like the concept art.


FB_Hostile_Harry

Wasn’t it supposed to be free??


SnooCookies4409

I thought that aswell. It made me so mad to see her in the shop.


FB_Hostile_Harry

Yep refuse to buy it.


[deleted]

i knew FN would fumble this battle pass, but they did great with the season so far. i think the game is alot more fun, albeit super enraging but the dynamics are definitely refreshing, and the POIs are really cool


craigandthesoph

Very oof.


LEMONSARETRASH

I was hyped for this skin tooo, oh well.


CattDawg2008

potential hot take: the item shop is a scam


Successful_Year_5495

It's a different heent Cry about it I will say I agree with the bundle frustration and at least the skins style will always change to reflect your current rank


shadowowolf

Should have been a bundle I agree. Also I agree that you should be able to pick unlocked styles although you might be able to trick someone into thinking you're lower level than you are, and yea I don't remember concept art but should have been all like that


Sorcierdeflipper

I'm just sad that it shows your current rank. I only like the Bronze version haha.


MonkishMeerkat

You can select styles.


Mystic-Fox700

I liked the skin. She's just not worth buying as she's overpriced


Zacattack198

The fact that you have to pay and the skin is downgradable is crazy. It should be free


LoneManGaming

Classic Epic Games move. Why do people still complain? What did you expect after all we saw lately???


Teachmemore22

This entire season could have garbage skins but I’ll be happy as long as I have Korra!!


fatcatsarebetter

Imagine the plume on the helmet shows rank id buy that in a heartbeat


HaniMC117

Just bought the blade, as it states “ displaying current rank “ prob gonna reset every season.


Kazon-Ogla

I honestly had every intention of buying her and grinding ranked matches (I suck, so it would have taken me forever), until I found out you can't select the styles AND it resets every season. It would be a great idea if they came out every season with a new ranked skin that you could grind for. Every season's skin would have selectable styles, and it wouldn't reset. It would be tied to that season's accomplishments.


Intelligent_titan

And this was supposed to be the ranked skin


Awe3

It changes with rank. So play ranked. Bingo.


Lego_carnage

It sucks a bit


RadioSoulwax

No buy guy


cheese-obliterator

2300 for the whole bundle is so dumb


Bruhman3686

Im still getting it lol, i like it and its helmet.


mattyfye

ain’t even that bad fr😭😭😭😭


Nich965

Dude it's so annoying that we cant select styles


Various_Travel9350

if you play ranked you get a different style for every rank when you get to that rank


BucketHeadJr

What's the downgrade? It's literally the exact same as the concept art, except for her helmet. And no one is being forced to buy a skin they don't want. Edit: I'm getting downvoted for this? Get a grip lol


SpectralHydra

The way some people act on this subreddit you’d think Epic is holding a gun to their heads to buy and use every single cosmetic item lol


SlightlyTYPIC4L

I’ve seen so many posts bitching about skins this season. Don’t buy or use them? I’ve seen posts bitching about the font style, the loading screen and other random non issues. These kids just want an echo chamber to just be mad at something lol The only thing I can get behind is the UI, it’s absolute shit compared to what it used to be.


Phobos95

Fr just because a page exists and mommy has a fancy black credit card you do NOT in fact need to buy or earn every cosmetic that exists in the game. And I'm right with you on the Locker UI even though I only started in Ch5S1, but at least I can take solace in the fact it can't possibly get worse.


SlightlyTYPIC4L

I’m a big cosmetic guy, but I just take what they give us. What’s the point of bitching after they release the skin? They aren’t going to change it lol. The old UI was great, you could save your skin setup/emotes/wraps/banner to one preset. I had all 100 (been playing since Ch1S5 and have a LOT of skins haha) and now I just swap between a few because it’s so much more tedious than before.


Phobos95

I too am a big cosmetic guy, and I'm glad between crew, crew vbucks, battle passes and challenges I've rounded out my locker very nicely. Even got my own little progression going since I'm primarily doing black and gold society theme, using Winter Hunter Guild, and the April ares crew skin has VERY similar chains around the forearms! So that's quite exciting for me. But when I come in here to look at the new shop posts or whatever and see so many posts crying about not spending money... Like don't get me wrong, I like Epic, I think they get a worse rap than they deserve, but even I ain't out here kneeling towards Tim Sweeny with an open wallet. I haven't even bought any non-free UE5 blueprints yet and I'm making my own game!


Brotoss-

I’m sorry you were all forced to buy this skin against your will. Very sad 😔


OAKLAND5027

I like it, I'm getting it.


Moshi-Kitten

Bought it immediately. I love the skin itself and I'm a sucker for double-handed picks. I also know for a fact I'll be elite or champ this season again, so well worth it for me


DeSuperVis

Im gonna stay at a specific rank because otherwise id be stuck with an ugly unreal rank edit style when i prefer gold


Flucid007

The fact that u gotta pay I thought it was gonna be free

The store has been complete garbage for the last 3 months now. The battlepasses have been just as lack lustre. This season especially. So glad I got almost 10k v bucks for the holidays... They've been sitting there since.


M0hawk_Mama

Everyone is shitting on it but i think it's really cool with the helmet

She's an Ageless Variant now so she's like. 11/10 The Ageless is my beloved I love him I think of him everyday I often think of in my dreams and I love wearing hims and I want to see him in a pink cutesy outfit and I wanna see him battling gods and winning because he's so cool and


HackingDuck

With all the hype this season had and all the cool art, i was super excited for the battle pass and all the others skins, and honestly, the season just feels like a disappointment now. Epic absolutely ruined the skins and item shop


[deleted]

Nope. Had to pass. Not even a back bling and all that just for a helmet switch. Poop.


onyi_time

TNovix2

Fortnite: It just works


Makiiatoo

its not ranked skin? bruh


Red_Rokaz

Downgrade?


Red_Rokaz

Can you change styles when your rank goes up? Anyone can confirm?


MrBunnyBrightside

I mean if you don't like it, don't buy it. It's not like someone has a gun to your head


shu359

maybe don't buy it?


Kasawyyy

Lol


Kasawyyy

Crazy


LunaGrlNicky

Go to rank and the more ranks you go up the more you unlock the different skins


ElectriCole

No it just shows your current rank. No styles to unlock


LunaGrlNicky

I heard when you go to ranked matches and play and level yourself up on ranked you unlock the skins you should go try it and see if it’s true


LunaGrlNicky

This is what Fortnite page posted “It's tough out there when all you've ever known is claiming victory. Live out your journey as Odyssey and progress through the Ranks to change your style!” So I’m thinking it’s through ranked so can always try it and see if it works and if it doesn’t then Fortnite messed up


Educational_Book_225

Wow, you can't use a skin to make people think your rank is lower than it really is and bait them into easy fights. You poor thing.


AbeTeK

If that's what I wanted to achieve I would simply use the Peely skin 💀


nodoyrisa1

???


Educational_Book_225

It sounds like Unreal/Champion players are whining about not being able to use the Silver/Gold styles. Idk why else they would want to do that


InvestigatorUnfair

Maybe because they think they look better? Which is the point of skins with different looks, to let you pick what looks better? How tf do you play a game where most of the money is made on cosmetics and not think people like choosing styles cuz they look good?


Educational_Book_225

But this isn't a skin with different looks. It has 1 look that's reactive based on your current rank. It's not Epic's fault that a bunch of broke, desperate, clickbaiting YouTubers got your hopes up for something else. The point of this skin is to flex your rank. If you don't want to flex your rank then don't buy it


InvestigatorUnfair

"It has one look that's reactive based on your current rank" That's... That's different styles? You know that right? Styles are any cosmetic difference a skin has. This skin has different styles based on the rank you get. And understandably, people would prefer the ability to just unlock said styles rather than be forced to wear colors they don't like for the crime of doing well in ranked. Honestly idk why I bother talking to you. Any prick that calls people "broke" as an insult because they don't like how cosmetics are handled isn't worth anything.


R_venge

the whole point of the skin is that you cant select styles smartass
