Fortnite has introduced a ton of cosmetic packs over the years, with Epic Games introducing certain bundles that feature not only original characters designed by the developers but even characters from other universes and IPs (Intellectual Properties). While these cosmetic packs undoubtedly offer exciting skins and items for players to own, they are usually limited to a certain period, restricting the time for players to acquire these bundles.

However, in a recent Reddit post shared by u/Individual_Ad_697, the player showcased a glitch that left them and the community confused. This is because the player weirdly found previously removed cosmetic packs like the Transformers Pack with the Battlebus Outfit as well as the Polar Legends Pack available for purchase in the Item Shop.

The glitch has understandably left players confused while also igniting a flurry of responses and jokes, with Reddit user u/GavinThe_Person joking about the allure of such cosmetic packs and stating:

"We going bankrupt with this one."

Other community members also chimed in with their own jokes to add humor to the glitch presented in the Reddit post, u/McJellyDonuts referencing the classic "My dad works at Epic Games" joke and stating how they finally found an actual instance of that.

Reddit user u/Kaonashi-asian-black further added to the humor of the situation, joking about how the player has the entire Fortnite Item Shop at their fingertips.

Reddit user u/Crazylivykid expressed how, despite it being a Battle Pass skin, wished to see the Deadpool Outfit from Chapter 2 Season 2 Battle Pass glitch its way into the Item Shop. Reddit user u/evil_light88, on the other hand, joked about how the player might end up with the Renegade Raider Outfit, one of the most exclusive skins in the game, in their Item Shop.

Referencing how the glitch only happens for Android players, Reddit user u/Sageman28 clarified that they see more bundles than console players and stated:

"I can confirm this is true. I am on android and I see more bundles than on console."

Why was the player able to purchase so many bundles in the Fortnite Item Shop?

While the Item Shop showcased in the Reddit post is undoubtedly a dream come true for any player, it certainly raises the question of why they were able to see bundles that have been removed from the Item Shop for a while. As of now, there is no clear explanation for what happened, and Epic Games has yet to acknowledge the glitch if it can even be called a glitch.

This is because the player is on Android might have something to do with them being able to see more bundles than others, as highlighted by other Android players reporting similar phenomena in their game. However, there is no concrete explanation for it yet.
