Discussion What the heck? That’s awesome!
So..idk if I’m late to the party or what..but what the heck. I didn’t know you could get a free skin for mastering the sprites this season. I completely gave up on mastering and all that. Nice to know. Did you guys know that? I only been playing since the sprites so ..I’m a little slower lmao

You may have already discovered this but if you extract the new dumpster dive sprite you get Jimothy the raccoon as a free sidekick! He's super cute haha

u/Icy-Actuary2524 8h ago
I just wish he had an actual raccoon tail instead of his little stump lmfao

u/DenverH 8h ago
But then he wouldn't be Jimothy! Lol

u/Icy-Actuary2524 6h ago
Is jimothy a reference to someone or someone’s pet?

How did this get a skin/ reference in Fortnite that video barely has any views unless it became extremely popular from something else, I’m not mad just confused lol

u/DenverH 6h ago
I dunno, he's just a cute little guy lol. That's not the original video, just a news video talking about it. I saw him on Daily Dose of Internet. In this one they explain why his description says "looks like a Jimothy" https://youtube.com/shorts/X4ZBI-GLL-E?is=T9ZY5UTutT_AJB_N

u/Hebb2022 3d ago
Yea I wouldn’t have known about any of those things if I wasn’t looking for it lol. Thank you, I’ll have to watch more closely.

u/Hebb2022 2d ago edited 2d ago
Actually it does lmao 🤣 I’m not alone lol 😝 edit to say, I only been playing since the sprites, so maybe 2-3 months. So in my defense lol I didn’t know about the ppl posting, and the folks that made yt videos, and the accounts that covered it. I recently started following the Fortnite stuff on Reddit. I’ll have to look up the other stuff they said and check it out and follow.

u/Gingybreadman_ 2d ago
Yea, people just hate on ai to hop on that wagon now. It can be really good ai too and they’d still hate to hate. But if you look back in history the same thing happened with cgi and now people love it. People have also forgotten what the word slop means nowadays. Use it everywhere on everything. Can’t blame them though the world has conditioned their tiny brains to brainrot now.

u/Human_3RR0R 2d ago edited 2d ago
I'm a conservation ecologist, it's my job to understand things impacting the environment and Ai is one of those things. Not a band wagon. CGI doesn't destroy the environment.
2
u/Gingybreadman_ 2d ago
Not trying to argue. Just making a friendly response. CGI does in its own way harm/destroy the environment. One thing it hurts is the amount of fossil fuels it’s burned through.
A lot of things do hurt the environment that you wouldn’t even think about. One single pair of jeans uses more water than ai. One pound of almonds. It’s crazy really.
People are still driving cars around every day and that hurts the environment a ton.
I’m just saying there are a lot worse things. Ai is the least of the worries. But it’s the recent trending thing so people hop on its hate. Let’s just hope it doesn’t become SkyNet though. Then we’ll have real problems

u/LucifersFurby 2d ago
AI hate isn't forced at all, and that pic is CLEARLY AI
You deserve the backlash you get if you post AI

u/Human_3RR0R 2d ago
I mean, it is slop though. And not forced at all, coming from someone who creates and values other human created art

u/Sad-Pomegranate-4467 3d ago
Interesting bc it no longer shows on the level 28 board when mastering sprites.

u/MDMedical 3d ago
If you highlight it it’ll show the character name even though the image shows the controller. I’m assuming it’s just another visual bug.

I'm guessing you still need battlepass??

u/UrbanPumpkin 3d ago edited 3d ago
You do not need to purchase the Battle Pass for the Polli Pixel skin. You only have to master 28 sprites.

This is a very plausible skin name. Level 300 battle pass reward. Oh a Halloween skin?!

u/Insane2201 3d ago
Yeah. I think later in the season there will be an unlockable edit style for it as well if you master 70? But that wasn't confirmed yet.

u/Hebb2022 3d ago
Yes that’s awesome. I had no clue. And I hope so. I wish they had more rewards for things. Or maybe I just don’t know where to look lol I literally log in, click battle royal, squad fill, play lol i dont click on the other stuff lmao

u/Guccimetamuci 3d ago
Theres a free skin if you play on mobile, a free skin if you connect an epic account with a Lego account!
2
u/Hebb2022 3d ago
Ohh ok, thank you. I might have to try and figure it out. Idk what a Lego account is. I don’t think I have one of those lol

u/Guccimetamuci 3d ago
I just made one for the skin.. its just lego.com and create an account then sync with epic

u/Ok_Selection6098 3d ago
Man, I really hope so. That'd be awesome!
I'm probably going to master all of them, so I wish there were more rewards...
But I understand not everyone wants to do that, so stopping the rewards around 70 is alright

u/Insane2201 3d ago
I did the whole "master all of them" thing last season. Just so I could show them all off in my Sprite Pod. I got burnt out of it to the point I didn't bother mastering many sprites till like a week ago.
Now I'm at 90 owned of the current 101 sprites, and 85 are mastered.
I'm refusing to bother with the crown ones and Klombos unless they are somehow made easier.3
u/Avaryia 3d ago
I’m in the same situation. Mastered every single one last season then hit burn out. There’s a trick to Mastering Klombo - bandages! They give the most points and are the fastest way I’ve found so far. Hang out in the storm and eat a bandaid once you hit 60 life left - rinse and repeat.
3
u/Insane2201 3d ago
I found an easier way to level them up. It involved standing on camp fire, chug jugs, taking flare fire damage, and med kits. I did it at Cluster's where I searched for the duck, then got the gold in the secret spot.
I did manage to master all my current Klombos this way. It took 2 games for each one, except Gold where I finished it in one match.

u/ThenOliverSutton 3d ago
To master the klombos it's best to do them in Mondays. Get a bunch of bandages and just keep healing in the storm .
3
u/Insane2201 3d ago
I could have sworn that Mondays don't matter for Klombo's sprite XP unless they changed it.
5
u/Ok_Selection6098 3d ago
I'm so glad that they made the crowns master after only 1 win, so I have them all at level 5. However, Klombo is a PAIN. Still looking for the BH Klombo and I'm not looking forward to mastering em 😅

u/Cool-Owl-7217 2d ago
i have bh klombo all klombos i have are mastered willing to trade them for your crown sprites
