Experience All The Sights And Sounds Of Coachella In Fortnite With Wild And Groovy Musical Cosmetics
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival returned to Indio, California this past week for the first time since the beginning of the global pandemic; having been cancelled in both 2020 and 2021 due to health restrictions. Music lovers and enthusiasts descended onto the festival grounds which featured celebrity artists including Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, and Arcarde Fire – masks, proof of vaccination, and negative PCR results were not required to enter the event. Those that were unable to make the trip out to California to attend the event had the opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of Coachella from the comfort of their living room as Epic Games released several cosmetics inspired by the festival itself to the Item Shop throughout its entire duration; have since rotated out – potential to return.
Appearing in two waves, players could purchase the Rocking At Coachella Bundle for 2,800 V-Bucks which packaged together the Lyric Outfit, Swaguaro Back Bling, Wilder Outfit, Finfin Back Bling, Neon Biter Pickaxe, Festival Shredder Pickaxe, and Finfin Flair Wrap. The Lyric Outfit and Wilder Outfit came equipped with a Cosmic Equalizer Style and everything was reactive to music; aforementioned Outfits were priced at 1,500 V-Bucks with the Pickaxes and Wrap valued at 800 V-Bucks and 500 V-Bucks on their own. Players could receive a hefty discount of 2,300 V-Bucks when purchasing the entire bundle over separate transactions – arrived on April 14th, 2022 at 8PM EST – for a limited engagement.
