Summary
Fortnitefans have a suggestion for Epic Games, asking the developer to bring Auras into the game’s battle royale mode. Auras are currently only available in Fortnite Festival, a minigame similar toGuitar HeroandRock Bandthat challenges players to play the right notes and flex their rhythm muscles. However, Auras are specifically locked behind this mode, withFortniteplayers urging Epic Games to reconsider.
Fortnitecontinues to be one of the biggest and most influential powerhouses within the video game industry, with a lot of the game’s charm coming from its vast collection of collaborations and customization options. Over the last few years, tons of popular characters from film, TV, and pop culture have been integrated intoFortnite, with the game’s latest seasonal update being no different. Players are currently in the middle of a massive battle against the iconic Marvel baddie Doctor Doom, with severalnew characters and areas being added toFortnite. However, one of the game’s most unique customization options is still exclusive to Fortnite Festival, with thousands of players hoping this changes soon.
In a recent post, Reddit user TheRealMalkior strongly urgedFortnitedeveloper Epic Games to make Auras usable in Battle Royale. Auras are customization items usable in Fortnite Festival, acting as special particle effects players can add to their character. These effects often look quite stunning and add another layer toFortnite’s already-daunting customization options. Auras are only available in Fortnite Festival, giving the game mode its own unique flair while leaving some players disappointed.
Players Urge Epic Games to Change Fortnite Festival Auras
What makes this omission even more noticeable and perplexing isthe fact that Fortnite Festival’s other items, like instruments and JAM tracks, do make the transition between game modes, meaning players can use them in battle royale. “Please make Auras usable in Battle Royale mode,” says the user. “They have a lot of potential, it’s a win/win for everyone, more people will play the festival & it will enhance the appearance of many skins, just take a look at my examples.”
Fortnite Festival launched at the tail end of 2023 and was a big move for Epic Games. Over the last several years, the studio has made it clear it seesFortnitenot just as an incredibly popular video game but as a platform that dozens of other experiences and ideas can be built off of, with the Festival being just one example.Rocket Racing was also added toFortniteas another experience, allowing players to race others in aRocket League-inspired game mode. Alongside these two new modes was the introduction of Lego Fortnite, which completely flipped theFortniteformula on its head, giving players a new and robust survival experience based on the world-famous plastic toys to enjoy.
