This was another unique method of gaining styles. In C1S9 there was a skin where you had to collect 100 Fortbytes to unlock and then look for the styles and helmets across the map.
Yes I did get all of them and they really were fun. The fact that every day you had a little task to collect one of these was really refreshing and the rewards being the singularity skin were also really good (in my opinion)
people only complained about them due to the pressure plate problem needing 3 people. and i think 1 other. every single other fortbyte was just press x.
Literally just waited each month and got 33 at a time.
I mean, I stopped playing for a good few months back in season 9 directly because I hated the concept lol, I think history has a tendency to repeat itself
I do, I have the final loading screen that formed after collecting all 100 in rotation and always reminisce on em. Good memories of season 9 fun, the monster and mechanic fight, neo tilted, combat shot gun and I loved em as a collectable.
Honestly sucks that we haven’t had a good BP collectable in a while. Think last time we did was Chapter 2, S8 with the ink canisters for the ink blot fish sticks skin
I remember these! My duo and I tried to get them all. Got nowhere near close if i remember correctly. Definitely would love if they did something like this again.
I didn't have that battlepass but i do remember helping my friends complete theirs everyday after school. I def wpuldn't make them daily tho, maybe like one every two days
Yes wish I got all of them so I could have had armored singularity but the ones that required teamwork or to win battle royal(I mainly played team rumble) I was unable to do back then.
I miss them. They were over hated, both now and at the time. I collected every single one. I hope they bring them back for OG Season 9, but I doubt they will.
Yes and they were nice. However I am still pissed to this day that I couldn’t fulfill one byte due to requiring a friend to dance on a dance floor somewhere in the rocket. Now I’m stuck with the terrible reminder of how Singularity is missing her helmet edit style.
Ugh, I remember exactly which Fortbyte you mean. The worst part is that initially, the pressure plates could be activated with quadcrashers, but Epic patched that out. Not even sure how I got that one. Prolly a "healthy" mix of luck and an alt account?
In the same vein, the alien season where the main source of the unlock material for the styles were these weird cubes you had to hit in order and specific places. Pretty sure I gave up on those after half a dozen random fill matches.
Yep, Got all of them for Singularity, we also had the colors in Season 2 for the fish guy! Wishing they were back cause it was fun and the game was not just about who can crank builds and edit faster than speed of light
I got a lot of fortbites only problem is that all the footage I had with them is gone. Shocked face only og concept that could have lasted the entire span of the game. Fortbytes make me think that the entire game is being held together with bits and pieces, foreign to what the actual updates and statistics show. Even when you factor challenge ratio into comparisons season 9 had a LOT of work for people trying to max out levels. Without a proper guide as to what the challenges were alluding to, I didn't understand. With fortbytes, it was very clear what the purpose of the collectible was and could still be. Maybe we'll see some cool new fun "gear" or "vital component" be introduced and they'll let us see some new insight into how to enjoy the game a little easier. Surprised that fortbytes lead to simpler challenges and looking forward to fortbytes with some sort of attention to detail.
Yes, I loved and hated them at the same time. I got to 90 bytes to get Singularity then gave up so I didn't get the upgradable styles. Got all the durr burger/tomato ones though.
What I miss most is loading screens showing you where to find a free level
damn I'm old
Gah...that slightly meta level of exploration. Really do miss that.
This and things like the giant pianos and the telephones.
I liked these significantly more than the cosmic chest for the alien skin
That was the worst
Like it couldn't have been as simple as the golden llamas of now that you automatically get them for playing the game normally?
I will never play Fill again after that absolute nightmare grind
The only progression skin I didn't finish
Yep, got Singularity and all styles. Would be a neat throw back if they made the Fortbytes as a backbling.
What is/was this?!
A collectable from I believe C1S9 or 10. There were 100 of them and they were needed to unlock edit styles for a skin.
It was season 9

and the best part was THEY STACKED unlike a certain winterfest
Ya but like the people that couldn't play over Xmas, what about the people that didnt play that season?
Yes.
Fondly? Not.
Unfortunately they did this today people would start complaining about “Fortnite forcing us to play the game for content >:(“
People complained about it back then too. I did play almost daily and hated the fortbytes. I just found them so tedious.
I wince every time someone brings them up in fear it inspires Epic to do anything like them again lmao

I mean they were a cool idea, not the most practical tho
I hated these damn things but I collected them all. It was so excruciating to collect.

I remember a lot of people didn't like them because it seemed drawn out and annoying.
They had no idea how bad it would be now. How times have changed.
Fortbytes were good. They were certainly a lot better than the stupid Cosmic Chests.
I really kinda enjoyed some of the mini challenges around the map to get them.
I woke up every morning to make maps for this sub. it was a fun time for sure
Remember the Cerberus version
I remember these! My duo and I tried to get them all. Got nowhere near close if i remember correctly. Definitely would love if they did something like this again.
Loved this
I miss the old challenge screen UI design
I didn't have that battlepass but i do remember helping my friends complete theirs everyday after school. I def wpuldn't make them daily tho, maybe like one every two days
Yes wish I got all of them so I could have had armored singularity but the ones that required teamwork or to win battle royal(I mainly played team rumble) I was unable to do back then.
Yes, I think I only got 40-60 of them tho
Got all 100 and all singularity styles
Yeah, got all of them and they were one of my favorite parts of the season
These were fun (I think)
I remember getting all of these. I also remember when other players weren’t complete jerks and would actually let you get them before killing you.
I didnt get the last one lol
I'd love to see those Fortbytes come back for OG Season 9.
First secret skin I skipped. Was too much work
I miss them. They were over hated, both now and at the time. I collected every single one. I hope they bring them back for OG Season 9, but I doubt they will.
NO! LEAVE THEM IN THE PAST! BURY THEM! BURN THEM!
Yes and they were nice. However I am still pissed to this day that I couldn’t fulfill one byte due to requiring a friend to dance on a dance floor somewhere in the rocket. Now I’m stuck with the terrible reminder of how Singularity is missing her helmet edit style.
Yep. I got 99 of 100. I kept landing and landing and landing at the top - middle left of the map for the
four person pad to get the last one. Kept getting a few people to not help. Died 1000xs.
I remember FINALLY four of us landed. The first guy that got it left and stranded the other three.
PTSD from that.
Also, remember the piano keys? You had to play a song on a giant keyboard and people would camp you before you finished.
Another one is the rubber ducky you had to get. 1 per game. Absolute chaos.
Still those were fun.....but 99/100? Grrrr.

I remember having my sibling playing on my Xbox doing all those for me to get the additional styles for Singularity. I bought them Season X's BP after

Miss this the most
Worst time in og fortnite
This subreddit used to endlessly complain about this, if they returned this everyone here would cry 24/7 about this being "anti consumer" and"fomo"
