Fortnite is indeed famous for its battle-royale system, but the exclusive skins and other cosmetic items are probably one of the biggest reasons behind Fortnite’s success. Players love to get unique outfits, gliders, Harvesting Tools, etc.; besides the Battle Pass, Item Shop is the main source of getting them.
Veteran Fortnite players are aware that Fortnite has a few sections in Item Shop- Daily, Featured, Community Choice, and Special Offers & Bundles. Each of these sections has a specific type of item to show, and the Featured Section is the most loved one as it contains all the Epic, Rare and Legendary Outfits and cosmetic items. Generally, all the exclusive Item Shop Outfits and Cosmetics come to this section; players rarely find Uncommon items in this section.
However, to the players’ surprise, one of the featured Sections of the Item Shop Suddenly disappeared on 26th December 2022, and the developers have confirmed it is not any bug or glitch; instead, they are aware of it, and it will come back after the next Item Shop Refresh. That 26th Featured Section of the item Shop Contains-
- Street Shadows Bundle
- Growler Outfit
- Jackspammer Pickaxe
- Flapjackie Outfit
- Pivot Glider
Since the Tweet came, players have been assuming that this Featured Section removal is because of the Pivot Glider. This Glider was added to the Item Shop during Chapter 1, Season 6, and was an exclusive reward to players who purchased the Nvidia GeForce Bundle from the Item Shop. After that, this Glider was removed from the Item Shop for these years. However, Epic suddenly added it to the Featured tab on 26th December 2022, for 800 V-bucks, for an hour only. After that, the entire ‘Featured’ Section containing the Glider disappeared from the game.
Players have been giving mixed reactions. Some are happy as they got the chance to purchase the Pivot Glider, while other players are angry about how Epic can make such mistakes and remove an entire section. Some players disagree with removing the Pivot Glider and say it is not even an exclusive item now. So, what’s the issue if it comes back? On the other hand, some players have been sarcastic. However, Fortnite developers haven’t responded to anyone or expressed the original reason for the ‘Featured’ Section to be removed.
So, probably the mistaken addition of the Pivot Glider is actually the reason behind the removal of the Featured section. However, until Epic Games adds the section back to Item Shop, players can only wait for it.
