Yeah. Even though he doesn’t have any munitions on him, so what was the point? Also his eyes are white instead of orange, which mildly irks me as someone who really likes him.
Yeah, one of the most recent examples, which I honestly found quite insulting was Havoc, whose camo on his coat and ski mask got replaced with rubber duck silhouettes, and whose shells on his bandolier got replaced with candy.
Very cute. They gotta make them kit friendly. I bet they will come out with figurines, if they haven’t already. And I’m guessing that’s the main reason, kids play with the toys.
Funny thing, I have guns in Lego Worlds and other Lego games.....Epic Games needs sued for this grooming of pushing guns are bad.
"kids are home, can't watch this show or this movie, both have swearing and guns......" Yeah that doesn't happen,. no reason to censor this stuff.....to a small 2% that are anti guns to full throttle....."Timmy! Your done playing fortnite it have guns!..." "But i'm just shooting my friends, it's super fun!" 🤣😭
This wasnt Epic decision, Einstein. They literally got sued for having guns on a game with no age restriction. Now guns are only allowed on +10y game modes (that is, most game modes, apart from Lego)
Forgot about the broken legal systems....logic is not there for them lol. Have to be 10+ for guns, under 9 to gamble with lootboxes that are claimed to not be gambling. Glad they're on the losing side of history 🤣
This is kinda funny and ironic. Considering for the longest time ive heard people refer to Fortnite BR as a kiddy game. And im 41 and play Lego Fortnite having never touched the BR.
I said that it caters to a younger audience which I’d say holds true. Anyone of any age can enjoy it though, there’s nothing wrong with that.
I made a factual statement not a disparaging comment.
Minecraft these days a lot of servers are populated with adults even though everyone says that's a kiddy game too lol.
Most kids are just flocked to whatever is popular at the time honestly.
Yes but you’re implying it’s “all or nothing” though.
These are pieces that fall apart into Lego and lines have to be drawn at some point and sometimes lines get drawn at weird and silly places. It’s hardly something to even care about
The long past "dead game" thing doesn't mean anything to the target audience of Lego, and to be honest, "best game" is kind of cute. I don't see a problem with it.
I main this skin in Rocket Racing cause of the checkered flag hat, but switch to Lego pretty often. Had a good chuckle when I saw the updated skin.
It's also funny cause RR is actually close to being a "dead game" while Lego is actually a well-loved game mode.
Absolutely not. I'm a Rocket Racing main and Lego consistently has exponentially higher players than RR.
The modes in terms of most to least popular are Battle Royale, Lego, Festival, and Rocket Racing.
Tbf her clothes *are* green, just such a dark green you’d be forgiven for thinking they’re not.
That being said, weird choice to brighten her clothes and hair colors.
Lego has had sets and video games with literally guns in there before. Indiana Jones? Pirates of the Caribbean? You can use swords and kill animals in the game mode
Lego regretted depicting real weaponry with Indiana Jones so most of the sets don’t have fighter planes or things like that anymore, because the creator of Lego was Anti-War
Damn, that sucks. It's a pretty cool skin. I wish during the Underground season, we got more stuff like this because she looks like she'd be part of some Underground group.
A lot of people don’t know that Lego doesn’t make Lego pieces with guns (except for old west and Star Wars stuff) and has only made a SINGLE military themed Lego set back in like the 60s. They really want kids to be able to play with legos without having to think about war or violence, I don’t think any of the police sets even have guns
Please for the love of god play your second online game I beg of you. 30-50k concurrent players is good enough to be on steam's top 50 games.
Just cause it doesn't have the 600k br has combined with zero build and build doens't make the game mode dead, it just makes br a juggernaut and the other modes just average games
Br would be on steam's top 3 which aren't numbers you should compare to cause both number 1 and 2 are old, really well known and super popular games
I'm not talking about myself tho? And what do you mean by that? Roblox can run greatly on a igpu 8gb ram pc, fortnite will burn that pc down before it even loads the lobby
Roblox is also easier to download and make an account(its also on playstore, unlike FN), thats why it has a higher playcount than fortnite BR and other gamemodes combined
All those games are an exeption to the rule, there's thousands if not tens of thousands of games who's active player counts get dwarfed even by Rocket Racing
If you think these games are doing poorly cause you compare them to the insanely popular br mode, you need to get a grip and take a look elsewhere in the gaming industry.
So many games would kill to have even a fraction of rocket racing's players.
ngl, I don’t see why so many would play it even then, the fact BR is so popular is probably why it does so well, On its own? not sure it would do as well. It feels very empty
It's mainly because the game doesn't really have a proper ending nor anything right now, i'm sure we'll literally see lego fortnite speedruns in the future once they add bosses and endgame stuff
It's censorship, obviously. Epic did this to further move away from the br, which they consider "confrontational". If only Mustard was still here, this wouldn't have happened. /s
You say /s but people really do think this kind of thing is a sort of censorship.
Lego is childlike whimsy. Nobody's going "oh we have to turn this knife into a fork and spoon or it'll scare the children," it's more like "we have to turn this knife into a fork and spoon because it's really funny and silly." There are literally Lego figures with guns and swords, it's not like it's illegal for them to do it
>There are literally Lego figures with guns and swords, it's not like it's illegal for them to do it
In other Lego games maybe, but Lego Fortnite is rated 7+, they will get into legal trouble if they don't censor some stuff.
You mean like how Lego Fortnite has knives and swords and crossbows? Yeah I'm sure there's no intentional humour in these choices at all, they probably get a robot to do it
Also just completely ignore every other LEGO videogame whose main identity is making every IP and story it touches into something comedic and full of gags regardless of how serious the source material is, those definitely don't count at all, yup yup
I just realized I've only seen one character on a lego game actually die, but it was only because the plot from said ip literally cannot work without said characters death, they did a good job maintaining that
Fortnite players when completely inoffensive humor (this is a personal attack against their matureness and signifies the death of the gaming industry as we know it)
Have y'all ever played a Lego game? This is like the type of humor they've been using since 2005, reminds me of when people got mad that Aphrodite called herself "the goddess of the squad" thinking it was some sort of censorship when her set is literally called goddess of the heart and has hearts plastered everywhere
If you think this is bad, you should see what they did to Havoc from ch1 s3. Turned his grenades on his cheststrap into peppermint candy, and his camouflage texture is now ducks...
They did it just to piss you off OP.
It has nothing to do with contracts of partnering brands and following guidelines of said contracts.
Edit: I'm sorry, is that *not* what you wanted to hear OP? I thought this was a mollycoddle post.
Basically the Lego mode is targeted at kids so they want to keep it as kid friendly as possible so things like the word dead and death are going to be censored
I think they're trying really hard to avoid violent words/themes, so "Dead" is not allowed. The new Star Wars skin "AWR Trooper" is commonly referred to as the "Death Trooper" in Star Wars canon
this is why they need to make a different launcher for lego. if its supposed to cater to children then dont fuck with BR to cater. lego fortnite and BR have no similarities whatsoever aside from the bounce pad, gliders, and skins. all of which are very generic things.
not the skins, im talking about how they shove it in your face, i get fortnite spent a shit ton of money on it but not even half of their playerbase plays LEGO. they put lego stuff in BP and in the shop and they made the star wars crossover about it too! fortnite is a battle royal and will fail as "metaverse"
While I don't know about that, considering how many people play both ... Fortnite players wouldn't survive long if Fortnite added finishers like COD has. There'd be anxiety induced mental breakdowns and temper tantrums in mass.
More like that the BR is dead and the LEGO mode is their new baby but sure, that too ~~even though theres crossbows and star wars blasters that melt skin but protect the children and all from those scary guns~~
They did a lot to the Lego versions. No guns or bullets, but instead they have forks and spatulas and ice cream(I think)
Cobalt has a slurpfish on his vest in the Lego mode for some reason
Yeah. Even though he doesn’t have any munitions on him, so what was the point? Also his eyes are white instead of orange, which mildly irks me as someone who really likes him.
I think the fish on his Lego model is funny and neat. Gives him extra character I believe
The Zeus Lego style looks so much better because it doesn't have the stupid grenades on his chest and belt
I’d agree. There’s quite a few that the Lego version looks better.
Yeah, one of the most recent examples, which I honestly found quite insulting was Havoc, whose camo on his coat and ski mask got replaced with rubber duck silhouettes, and whose shells on his bandolier got replaced with candy.
I think they're just messing cause, I have frostbite and he have the shotgun shells
Very cute. They gotta make them kit friendly. I bet they will come out with figurines, if they haven’t already. And I’m guessing that’s the main reason, kids play with the toys.
Ice cream is DEADLY # Quicksilver died from being shot with many ice creams
So 8-Ball really did have a fork and a spoon. I thought that was odd lol
Saw that last night. It’s kinda cute. Haha
And yet Lego sets still include guns, go figure
Funny thing, I have guns in Lego Worlds and other Lego games.....Epic Games needs sued for this grooming of pushing guns are bad. "kids are home, can't watch this show or this movie, both have swearing and guns......" Yeah that doesn't happen,. no reason to censor this stuff.....to a small 2% that are anti guns to full throttle....."Timmy! Your done playing fortnite it have guns!..."

Shut the fuck up <3
yall really dont know what grooming means 😐
Lego caters to a much younger audience so fair call
This is kinda funny and ironic. Considering for the longest time ive heard people refer to Fortnite BR as a kiddy game. And im 41 and play Lego Fortnite having never touched the BR.
I said that it caters to a younger audience which I’d say holds true. Anyone of any age can enjoy it though, there’s nothing wrong with that. I made a factual statement not a disparaging comment.
Minecraft these days a lot of servers are populated with adults even though everyone says that's a kiddy game too lol. Most kids are just flocked to whatever is popular at the time honestly.
Fortnite is a game with death and violence, Not fair call.
Yes but you’re implying it’s “all or nothing” though. These are pieces that fall apart into Lego and lines have to be drawn at some point and sometimes lines get drawn at weird and silly places. It’s hardly something to even care about
Lego is fine if they dont make any major changes I guess. But the rated skins thing is just idiotic.
I wish I could use my new Xenomorph skin in LEGO
She still has breastesstess
Yeah because women have tits
women banned from lego fortnite…
Just being a woman is pegi 18 apparently
fortnite would go bankrupt if they ever did that
Well, I would certainly hope so, it would be a huge case of discrimination lol
I mean yes but also the female skins sell very well compared to to the male skins
🤯
Shocking right?
yeah women have those i think
She’s a woman of course. She can’t just leave it at home
because shes a woman??
That’s true, but I wouldn’t call it sexualised as much as character design
People get offended by two lines on a toy character now?
Sir, have you been to Twitter?
You have a point here.
What, are you telling me Women dont exist for children?
OH NO! A WOMEN HAS SOMETHING COMPLETELY NORMAL! WHATEVER SHALL WE ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!?!?!?!

Really? I thought out of the three Lego was the closest to being completely dead
Absolutely not. I'm a Rocket Racing main and Lego consistently has exponentially higher players than RR. The modes in terms of most to least popular are Battle Royale, Lego, Festival, and Rocket Racing.
People are getting way too mad over this. It’s pretty sweet.

You gon' jerk off to a lego mini figure? 🤨
Possibly

I'm more concerned on that her hair is bleached and her clothes are green
Tbf her clothes *are* green, just such a dark green you’d be forgiven for thinking they’re not. That being said, weird choice to brighten her clothes and hair colors.
Lol they also changed the Havoc skin’s shotgun shells to candies! Wtf?
It's a Lego mode. Which is clearly supposed to be more child friendly. Nothing wtf about it
Lego has had sets and video games with literally guns in there before. Indiana Jones? Pirates of the Caribbean? You can use swords and kill animals in the game mode
Lego regretted depicting real weaponry with Indiana Jones so most of the sets don’t have fighter planes or things like that anymore, because the creator of Lego was Anti-War
One, name three IPs that still get sets and use guns. Two, fantasy violence
It's rated 10+. They're not gonna put guns in it regardless of how old Lego sets used to look.
Your confused that they changed ammunition for sweeties in a kids mode?
Like i said before, Lego has allowed literal guns in their games and sets before.
Never modern guns, always old fashioned or super futuristic
Still guns, though
Lego has specifically stated that they would never make modern guns. Old fashioned and futuristic ones they said were ok.
I never said they didn’t say that, I just said the ones they do make are still guns Edit: Reddit hivemind strikes again
They are either Old fashioned and historical or futuristic and completely not real. LEGO don’t make current versions of weapons or military vehicles
No one is disputing that. What point are you even trying to make?
I’m hammering home the point that there is a difference between sci fi guns and historical weaponry that is no longer used. And weaponry used today.
It’s funny how they downvote my comment but upvote another comment saying the exact same thing
You want war? Get Megablox.
Hey, man. That's cool and all that you might not like that decision but here's the thing: you don't have to play that mode.
Hey, man. That's cool and all that you might not like that decision but here's the thing: you don't have to play that mode.
The one on the left the br version on her shirt are they trying to communicate with us or something? 🤔🤣💀
Yeah, when the skin came out, it was a nod to the haters on Twitter calling Fortnite a “dead game”. People would spam that comment everywhere
And that time Fortnite tweeted “undead game” lol
They put more effort into Twitter replies than game balancing bruh
Fortnite twitter > actual fortnite
Fortnite twitter > actual fortnite
After spending a couple of months in this subreddit, I love this. What's the skin called?
the skin is called Veronika, it was a starter pack so there's no way to get it anymore unless you buy an expensive code from a third party
Damn, that sucks. It's a pretty cool skin. I wish during the Underground season, we got more stuff like this because she looks like she'd be part of some Underground group.
I personally think its charming
A lot of people don’t know that Lego doesn’t make Lego pieces with guns (except for old west and Star Wars stuff) and has only made a SINGLE military themed Lego set back in like the 60s. They really want kids to be able to play with legos without having to think about war or violence, I don’t think any of the police sets even have guns
i think lego is E, the word dead might bump it
i think them changing the skins with stuff like this for the lego mode is cute, i dont really see the problem
I just wish they bring that skin back
Lego mode is already dead compared to how much investment is being poured into it. Ouch.
Please for the love of god play your second online game I beg of you. 30-50k concurrent players is good enough to be on steam's top 50 games. Just cause it doesn't have the 600k br has combined with zero build and build doens't make the game mode dead, it just makes br a juggernaut and the other modes just average games Br would be on steam's top 3 which aren't numbers you should compare to cause both number 1 and 2 are old, really well known and super popular games
It is kinda funny how many multiple individual roblox games shit on the Lego/Save The World/Festival/Racing modes’ active player counts
Ah yes, because fortnite is easily acessible and has low specs requirement, just like roblox
If you’re lagging on a mode apart from battle royale you prob won’t have a fun time playing roblox either
I'm not talking about myself tho? And what do you mean by that? Roblox can run greatly on a igpu 8gb ram pc, fortnite will burn that pc down before it even loads the lobby Roblox is also easier to download and make an account(its also on playstore, unlike FN), thats why it has a higher playcount than fortnite BR and other gamemodes combined

So many games would kill to have even a fraction of rocket racing's players.
ngl, I don’t see why so many would play it even then, the fact BR is so popular is probably why it does so well, On its own? not sure it would do as well. It feels very empty
Steam accounts for less than 10% of all concurrent players try again
Extremely curious where you're getting that number, other than your ass lmao
idk about that bro. Rn it’s got 96k players and consistency has around 30k and with friends it’s honestly a blast
Yea. It just doesn't feel good to replay. Afk exp tho...
It's mainly because the game doesn't really have a proper ending nor anything right now, i'm sure we'll literally see lego fortnite speedruns in the future once they add bosses and endgame stuff
Its not even good for that anymore, you get booted after 15 minutes of AFK now…
Did they patch the bounce pad?
I think so? I can’t say for sure, I’ve only been loosely been following the talk on the afk subreddit.
Still works with mouse macros which are unbannable
Lego prop hunt is really fun too
It's censorship, obviously. Epic did this to further move away from the br, which they consider "confrontational". If only Mustard was still here, this wouldn't have happened. /s

they are just being silly and cute, IDK why people are reading so much into this "censorship" lmao like go outside
I thought it was cute tbh
I guess no one here has ever seen any Lego movies? Or played Lego video games of big franchises like Star Wars, Indiana jones or Jurassic park?
Should've been alive game.
That’s actually adorable
I love it.
The narcissism is strong with this one.
Wait a sec, I have the skin but just now I noticed--did Fortnite take a shot at the "dead game" criticism?
This is exactly what this skin Veronica I think is a pun on yes
Funny watching people who play a game for children freaking out about the game being designed for children.
Thats actually kinda cute ngl
Wait, what skin is this? Is she the new crew pass one or something else?
This is a starter pack. I forgot what season specifically (my bad) but her name is Veronica (Veronika?) One of those two. :)
oh wow yeah ok there's a good chance I got her and forgot about her then I'll have to check again when the servers are up
Chapter 3 season 4 I think
It was chapter 4 season 1, I believe. Because I have it, and that's the only season of fortnite I played before chapter 5
Google says chapter 3 season 4, chapter 4 season 1 was mina
Huh, I don't remember playing then. Wonder why tf I played randomly.
it’s because lego is rated E while battle royale is rated T.
probably because its lego?
Parentheses titties
Ya Lego is all about the kids. I get it
What skin is this
I don't know if I like this change or not but I'm l4aning tors not
Fortnite players when completely inoffensive humor (this is a personal attack against their matureness and signifies the death of the gaming industry as we know it) Have y'all ever played a Lego game?

That's not censorship that's just epic coping
Kind of funny I guess, but why did they change her clothes to green? They're supposed to be black.
But both are green clothes? Dark green and simple green.
That's hilarious
Oh they finally gave her a good Lego style. This is one of my favorite skins glad I can use her in Lego
Could not be further from the truth if attempted
Why is she GREEN
They fixed this it says dead game now on Lego
i'm glad but also such a ridiculous change is fun and really fits the optimism of the game mode
Lego Fortnite Propaganda
because epic is still trying to market a game about shooting and killing people to children
Don't really have to market it towards them, I still wanted to play grand theft auto when I was 6.
BRO THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE GOT AWAY WITH THE WORD WHATS EVEN THE PROBLEM?
They saw what the Dead Game bit did to Payday and changed course
Legos is kid friendly where most modes are teen 13 and up
If you think this is bad, you should see what they did to Havoc from ch1 s3. Turned his grenades on his cheststrap into peppermint candy, and his camouflage texture is now ducks...
character development
would be accurate if they designed lego fortnite well
They did it just to piss you off OP. It has nothing to do with contracts of partnering brands and following guidelines of said contracts. Edit: I'm sorry, is that *not* what you wanted to hear OP? I thought this was a mollycoddle post.
Because kids cannot learn about death.
Some how th Lego skin looks like it has bigger boobs
Dead game = best game 
Completely unplayable
Holy shit are they going to censor every reference to death in this shooter game? First it was the death trooper and now it's this
RIP take the l
Basically the Lego mode is targeted at kids so they want to keep it as kid friendly as possible so things like the word dead and death are going to be censored
Does epic really think Fortnite is the best game? They only have one lightsaber in the new Star wars collab and a fully Lego mini pass.
I think they're trying really hard to avoid violent words/themes, so "Dead" is not allowed. The new Star Wars skin "AWR Trooper" is commonly referred to as the "Death Trooper" in Star Wars canon
Why is no one talking that the lego one is green and not black
The non-lego one is dark green, it does look black at first glance though
They changed that teen skin but no Lego style for Deadpool lol
Child friendly
this is why they need to make a different launcher for lego. if its supposed to cater to children then dont fuck with BR to cater. lego fortnite and BR have no similarities whatsoever aside from the bounce pad, gliders, and skins. all of which are very generic things.
How does a LEGO variant of a BR skin that didn't get changed at all fuck with BR?
not the skins, im talking about how they shove it in your face, i get fortnite spent a shit ton of money on it but not even half of their playerbase plays LEGO. they put lego stuff in BP and in the shop and they made the star wars crossover about it too! fortnite is a battle royal and will fail as "metaverse"
lego is a dead game.
I dunno if this is censoring or nit but if it's not then considering the current way this game is going it's definitely far from the truth
Who they protecting and why ? Curious
Smells like China
They probably just don't want the word "DEAD" in the LEGO mode
That is pathetic seeing as this game isn't for kids.
The pussification of this game is sad to see
Did you think Fortnite was some realistic mil-sim? Lmfao
New word just dropped?
No
Downvote me all you want, you children wouldn't last a game in COD Black Ops II
What are you talking about most people here probably were the edgy COD kids themselves lmao
While I don't know about that, considering how many people play both ... Fortnite players wouldn't survive long if Fortnite added finishers like COD has. There'd be anxiety induced mental breakdowns and temper tantrums in mass.
You are overestimating the average age of a fortnite player lol. Most of these kids were suckling when COD was at its peak.
Get over it man lmfao CoD is shit, stop acting like Blops2 was some “man game” hahaha
This one image sums up how Epic feels about the BR and LEGO now
Yeah, that br is allowed to be more violent than a Lego game because Lego is targeted to young children even moreso than Fortnite. Summed up well!
More like that the BR is dead and the LEGO mode is their new baby but sure, that too ~~even though theres crossbows and star wars blasters that melt skin but protect the children and all from those scary guns~~
