1000 days have passed since one of the most controversial backpacks in history was removed from Fortnite

Epic has removed very few cosmetic items from Fortnite so far. Among them, there was one backpack that is no longer available for 1000 days.

Epic has no habit of removing cosmetic items. So far, this has only happened a few times in the history of the game. One of the most notorious such cases was the permanent removal of the backpack, which was almost identical to the one Epic added as part of the battle pass.

Back then, players’ V-Bucks were returned, and the backpack was completely removed. 1000 days have passed since those events.

Fortnite backpack removed

OG players will remember a backpack that was called “Gunner”. It was in the game for a while. All because it resembled the one available in the Battle Pass. Epic asked for 1,000 V-Bucks for it.

And it wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t for the fact that “Bonesy” was exactly the same, only with a different scarf and a slightly different shade of fur.

According to a theme on Reddit, many people would like to be able to buy this backpack, but the opportunity for that has been missed. You can understand why players were angry with Epic in general.

Rather, no one today blames developers for withdrawing from their idea. Well, maybe except for people who spent money on V-Bucks with a backpack in mind.
