Fortnite Paradigm Outfit Bug: Keep It & Get A Refund

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."

Compensation for Original Owners

In an effort to make it up to the original owners of the Paradigm skin, Epic Games has promised additional compensation. Devs will soon roll out an exclusive style or skin variant of the outfit, as a token of appreciation for their continued support. Additionally, original owners will be offered a free refund if they wish to return the Paradigm outfit due to the recent situation.

Summary

In summary, Epic Games has taken quick measures to correct the accidental reappearance of the Paradigm outfit in Fortnite's shop. The lucky players will keep the outfit and get a refund, while OG owners will be getting a new variant or a free refund. This situation showcases Epic Games' commitment to maintaining fairness and transparency with their player base.
