Every once in a while, you stumble across something in Fortnite that leaves you wondering, “Is this new?”. Today, we’re examining a case of mistaken novelty, surrounded by chuckles and flashes of nostalgia.
Summary
- This incident presents an amusing but relatable moment when a gaming relic is mistaken as an innovative discovery.
- The Reddit community hilariously clarifies that the ‘new’ find is actually an oldie.
- Old, in this case, doesn’t mean useless, with some gamers passionately defending the said item’s usability.
The Myth of the ‘New’
In WaterBear46’s case, the discovery of an apparently unacquainted item in Fortnite turned into a realization: what we often consider as ‘new,’ may just be dusted diamonds we missed on our earlier expeditions. 0_________o quipped about this, stating the item’s introduction ‘around the arrival of the canny valley revamp with the desert biome’.
‘Old is Gold’
But let’s not trash items just because they’ve been around for a while. sky-gets-some-memes fondly remembers times when he ‘had fun with it when it came out.’ Meanwhile, Kangarou was not as merciful on the older item, acknowledging it’s part of the Rat Rod set which has a reputation for ‘low damage, horrendous accuracy.’
A Gamers’ Collective Memory
The virtual landscape of Fortnite provides a shared plot, not just for battles and victories, but also for collective memory. Whether it’s XtremeK1ll4 reminding us that the said item is ‘extremely old, maybe roughly 6yrs old.’ or others reminiscing their past gaming experiences, a game isn’t merely coded software, but a lively, memorable experience.
Whether you’re a seasoned Fortnite veteran or a curious newcomer, remember, each ‘old’ find could turn into ‘new’ fun. After all, haven’t we all felt like WaterBear46 at some point, discovering the ‘new’ within the familiar nowhere-but-here universe of Fortnite?
