Soon after update v.30.40 was released, a bug in Fortnite led to the return of the Paradigm outfit in the in-game shop. This has not been an intentional move on Epic Games' side. The skin is a limited-time exclusive from Chapter 1 Season X and it was not supposed to make a comeback. Epic Games has since removed Paradigm from the shop and has recently announced plans to make it up to players.

Refunds and Locker Adjustments
At the beginning, Epic Games stated they would remove the Paradigm outfit from the lockers of players who purchased it during its accidental reappearance, offering a refund instead.
However, there's a change in the plans. Fortnite will graciously allow players to keep the Paradigm skin. The best thing is that the players who bought the outfit will receive a full refund of their V-Bucks. Great news for the lucky fans who got this skin for free!
"Change of plan! Bought The Paradigm tonight? You can keep her! Her accidental return to the Shop is on us... so if you purchased The Paradigm during this evening's rotation, you can keep this Outfit and we'll refund your V-Bucks soon-ish."
