Fortnite is filled to the brim with secrets and easter eggs put in by Epic Games to add a layer of unpredictability to the game. Players randomly come across these secrets during their pursuit of a Victory Royale. These secrets can range from hints towards the game's ever-expanding storyline and lore to rare elements hidden within cosmetics such as emotes.

This has been highlighted in a recent Reddit post shared by u/Dependent_Loquat_136, where the player can be seen in a Chapter 5 Season 3 match donning the Weapon X Outfit. As the player found themself surrounded by others wearing the Weapon X Outfit, they felt the need to punctuate the moment by performing the Howl Emote. However, as the player performed emote, they were treated to a sound different from the usual howling, something rarely seen in the game.

If you want to try your hand at experiencing the rare instance of the Howl Emote featured in the Reddit clip, you can do so by adding the emote to your library. The emote was first introduced to the Item Shop in Chapter 1 Season 6, and has since been seen there 33 times.

While it has been quite a while since the emote was seen in the Fortnite Item Shop, with it last appearing almost a year ago, Epic Games is likely to bring it back at some point down the line. Who knows maybe Fortnitemares 2024 will be the moment when the Howl Emote graces the Item Shop once again.
