Summary
Fortnitehas disabled tomatoes in its ongoing D23 event map, and fans are quite unhappy about the fact that the developers have been adding limitations, which have usually not been a norm. Several players also noted that tomatoes were not the only items that were disabled as part of theFortniteevent, as certain emotes and several other items were also not available to use.
Fortniteis well-known for its huge collabs, and the past few seasons have been a spectacle for the fan base. Many fans were expecting Chapter 5 Season 3 to be themed aroundMad Max, but Epic Games surprised theFortnitecommunity with aFalloutcollaborationinstead. There were some other exciting partnerships that took place during the course of the season as well, including the likes ofPirates of the CaribbeanandFall Guys. With a new update right around the corner, Epic Games announced that it is organizing a Marvel-themed season, kicking it off with the D23 event in collaboration with Disney.
In a new post on the FortniteBR subreddit, user Bogki highlights a restriction that was imposed during theFortniteD23 event. Apparently, tomatoes were disabled on the event map, which is something that hasn’t been witnessed before. The user also posted a picture of the Party Royale mode with the tomato item in their inventory to underline the fact that tomatoes were still available in other modes. While several fans expressed their disappointment over the change, it seems like tomatoes aren’t the only items missing from the game mode.
All Items Disabled in Fortnite D23 Event
Apparently, several other emotes and items were also disabled from the game mode, and fans have noted that all of them had a mocking tone. For instance, somepopularFortniteemoteslike Take the L were disabled alongside Face Palm and Sad Trombone emotes. In addition, things like the Thumbs Down and Danger Skull emoticons seemed to be affected as well, so it seems like the restrictions expanded far beyond just emotes and items.
ManyFortniteplayers believe that it was done after certain incidents that took place in past events. For instance, one player highlights that during the event tohonor Black History Month inFortnite,some players were throwing tomatoes at the screen. To ensure that something like that doesn’t occur again, Epic Games seems to be taking a stern approach in its events going forward. TheFortniteD23 event still received a lot of criticism for the delays, and it seems like Epic Games disabling items hasn’t helped either.
