Fortnite cosmetics are extremely valuable to players of the community. Fans spend ludicrous amounts of V-Bucks to get their hands on their favorite skin, be it a Marvel superhero or an Anime character.
Over the years, Epic has brought numerous collab skins and cosmetics and has released them over time to give a chance to some newer players to purchase them. However, certain cosmetics like the Travis Scott set were left behind, thus deeming them extremely rare in the community.
But there was one more cosmetic set that was last seen in the Item Shop over 1,000 days ago − until now. Fortnite has finally brought the fan-favorite cosmetic items to the game, but not in the way players wanted.

Epic has finally brought back the Venom and Eddie Brock skins to the Fortnite Item Shop after over 3 years. The cosmetic set has returned as a result due to the latest collab with the film Venom 3: The Last Dance that’s out now.
The same collab also added Agony and She-Venom skins to the game, which are also symbiotes in the film. However, the Venom and Eddie Brock set, instead of each item sold individually is now being sold in a bundle.
But still, the Venom bundle is missing a Contrail and the Eddie Brock bundle is missing a Symbiote Sail glider. Furthermore, Epic has also announced that they’ll bring crucial changes to the pickaxes of both skins so they can also be used with other skins in the future.
This means that pickaxes, like Thor’s Mjolnir which were only allowed to be used by certain skins, can be used by other characters in the game. While the latter is a breath of relief to some players, the removal of the glider and contrail ticked off players in a bad way.
One such player said, “We riot. This discrimination against gliders is just ridiculous.” Another wrote, “If they’re making the pickaxes universal bc they heard us, they can add these soon.” A third user commented, “I would’ve actually bought the skin if the glider was included, I ain’t about to buy venom so he can use a metal umbrella as a glider.”
While Epic has not stated the reason behind the removal of the glider from the bundle, players assume they’re making crucial design changes to it before it returns back to the shop.
