The unexpected and comical reimagining of Rippley as the god of the sea has divided players, with some criticizing it while others embrace its absurdity.
Many argue that Fortnite’s already eclectic mix of characters from different universes makes the inclusion of meme skins perfectly acceptable.
One fan responded to complaints by saying, “You’re playing a game where Darth Vader can crank 90s on a Demogorgon and then get headshot snipped by Peter Griffin. No way this surprises you. I personally love the meme skins.”
Rippley’s appearance has undoubtedly injected humor and personality into the season.
