As I’m scrolling through Twitter at 3 AM, nursing a cold pizza slice and my tenth defeat in Solos, I nearly choke when I see it: Fortnite might be collabing with REPO. Listen, I’ve watched Doctor Doom build a fortress beside Maleficent’s dragon, but tossing REPO’s nightmare fuel into the mix? That’s like adding ghost peppers to your cereal—terrifyingly brilliant. Epic’s crossover addiction has officially jumped from superheroes to horror indie darlings, and I’m here for every spine-tingling second of it. 😱
So, what’s the scoop? Trusted leakers like Shiina dropped this bomb, claiming a REPO crossover is confirmed. No deets yet—classic tease move—but my brain’s already sprinting. Imagine doing the default dance only for Banger (that explodey skull-foot abomination) to photobomb you. Or better yet, an emote where your character nervously whispers "I love... not dying!" while clutching a flashlight. The Twitterverse agrees; replies overflow with hype about potential backblings shaped like haunted loot or kicks that leave ectoplasm trails. 💀
Now, for the uninitiated: REPO isn’t your grandma’s co-op game. Released earlier this year, it’s basically "Ghostbusters meets PTSD simulator." You and five pals raid creepy locales for valuables while dodging horrors like:
-
Headman: A silent stalker who’d make Slenderman cry.
-
Shadow Puppets: Because regular puppets aren’t unsettling enough.
-
Banger: Skull + legs + boom = why I sleep with lights on.
Fortnite dipping into indie horror isn’t new—remember Lethal Company’s Employee skin or Among Us beanies? But REPO? That’s next-level audacity. Picture this: a Zero Point storm morphing into a REPO map’s foggy graveyard, complete with flickering lights and distant screams. Or a quest where you "collect" loot while Headman hunts you. My palms sweat just thinking about it. 👻
Of course, Epic hasn’t confirmed squat. Could this rumor fizzle like my last Victory Royale attempt? Absolutely. But if it’s real, here’s my utterly biased wishlist:
- Playable Headman Skin 🧟♂️
Complete with a "slow, menacing strut" animation. Bonus: His pickaxe? A severed hand. Classy.
- Phasmophobia Emote 🔦
Your character drops items while trembling uncontrollably. Authentic REPO player experience!
- Haunted Backbling 👻
A floating specter that screams when you take damage. Passive aggression, perfected.
- Banger Glider 💥
Ride a giant skull explosion downward. Because subtlety is overrated.
Looking ahead—I’m betting my last V-Buck this collab drops near Halloween. Why? Epic loves timing scares with spooky season. And honestly? Fortnite needs more panic-inducing moments. We’ve had dragons, aliens, and Kratos; now give me a reason to genuinely yelp when bushes rustle. If REPO’s ghouls don’t make me delete the game in terror, did it even happen? Bring on the chaos, Epic—I’ll be hiding in a cardboard box, just in case. 📦
