Fortnite Season 4 has been live for just under two days and already players are finding hidden villain layers, enjoying those new anti-gravity hop rocks, and exploring the damage that the meteors left behind. Don’t even get us started on all of the news skins and cosmetic options … Epic Games really did a great job with the latest season thus far and we’re really interested in seeing what else they have up their sleeves.
One of the latest additions to the game may seem like “no big deal,” but Overwatch players know what’s up. In the latest Battle Pass trailer for the game, Epic Games officially debuted all of their different sprays players can use in-game, because why not add insult to injury by tagging your victims while you horde that sweet, sweet loot?

They don’t offer in-game perks or anything like that, they’re just a colourful way to express yourself in a title that really just doesn’t take itself too seriously. And that’s not a bad thing!

There’s challenge, there’s an objective, but there is also just having fun playing a game that’s meant for just that. It’s pretty rad, and the record-breaking numbers of players supports that I’m not alone in that sentiment.
