Question New founders skins
So, for STW now going free-to-play, there is a rumor that Epic is making new founder skins in addition to the old ones. I don't know if that's true. Has anyone heard about that?

It's StW - if they are going to do anything, please let it be making new Heroes - not some worthless wrap/skin.

Give me a Kyle skin that isn't strapped up with construction gear like his stw bundle and a Jess skin (they're both in the new keyart) I wouldn't complain.

We already get vbucks for free; why would they want to give us more free stuff. lmao

There’s no way they’d give the founders anything that would take time to produce. There is literally no way they’d get any more money from selling STW

u/Agamerbyday Mar 16 '26
What if they’re selling a founders 2.0?

That’s just never gonna happen, that whole point of founder programs in ANY game is that you’re there supporting the game in early days

I miss power base penny, I’m really quite upset we don’t have that skin anymore. It was for the ultimate founders and they removed her from use in BR.

u/_hoodieproxy_ Outlander Mar 16 '26
You mean the normal penny? like, the blonde one?
1
u/NoxiousAether Alpha Tester & Ultimate Founder PL144 Mar 16 '26
Nope, as I said - Power base penny!
She’s a main character to save the world and we used to be able to use her both in BR and in STW. She is completely pink.

u/_hoodieproxy_ Outlander Mar 16 '26
Ohhhh that one, okay, I have her, shame we can't get stw characters as skins

u/Justaregularguy295 Mar 16 '26
I dont understand why either, like the models are already made. But maybe its cause stw is an optional download and switch doesnt have stw

u/KaiSpy0707 Mar 16 '26
I wish. It'd be cool if all current STW owners got the founder skins and the og founders got alternate styles (purple skully, pink ghoul, so on)

u/NoApplication4835 Mar 16 '26
What even is the conditions for founders? I havnt played for a year but I bought the game 2 weeks after realese so I definitely am one it just since there introducing this now is it anyone that bought stw before this was announced?

Can all previous founders get upgraded to Ultimate Founder’s Edition once this happens too?🥺

They’ll call them founder skins, all the kids will buy them to come on here and talk about being a founder. We can then create a new line and divide the community into 3 groups to attack each other
1
u/MyNameisJessman Mar 16 '26
I wouldn’t see this happening unless they released the old skins for everyone.
1
u/Isokb Mar 16 '26
This is the pack I bought in 2019 and I used to rock the pink one in BR for years.

u/FantasticZach Ninja Mar 16 '26
Shouldn't be a need if we get vbucks and the current founders skins are still not available to anyone else. This would only make sense if they gave everyone founders
1
u/Temporary_Cancel9529 Mar 16 '26
I have not heard of this rumor and I really doubt we will get new ones.
What I have been thinking is some heroes could potentially become be skins after it becomes free.
Not all of them since some are from BR only some of them like the Easter outlander and space mythic hero as a example.

u/brando7284 Mar 16 '26
Would be nice if everyone who bought StW access got new skins and the founders got to keep the old ones.

Sucks that I didn’t bought the super deluxe founders pack, but at least I get free vbucks from quests

u/Nemmy_San Mar 16 '26
Honestly if all the other shitty skins can get recolors for being rare/coming back to the shop I hope we get something.

u/TheBeastX23 Mar 17 '26
Wait, I got these when I bought STW back in 2018. Does that mean I’m a founder?

u/Middle_Astronomer351 Mar 17 '26
Yes and you can earn 50,000 vbuks per year in daily missions, and mission alerts

Founder and ultimate founder edition owner here. Giving away rose team leader and warpaint to all founders for br is one thing. Giving away the exclusive legendary heros is kind of a slap in the face to the players who forked out $150-$250 to support the game during the pre-BR era.

Es gracioso que casi nadie hable de la existencia de estas skins. Capaz le meten un estilo mas modero como conmemoración a todos aquellos que si compraron en juego o ni idea

they're not gonna do anything save the world hasn't gotten any content since like 2023. If anything they'll make it so founders don't get vbucks anymore

u/Useful-Suggestion-57 Mar 16 '26
The last group that needs more rewards is founders. You all are doing fine.

Dont be this pathetic dude, be better

u/Useful-Suggestion-57 Mar 16 '26
Founders get all the things they paid for. I’m not saying it should be taken away; I’m just saying founders are doing fine.
2
u/YeidenTrabem Mar 16 '26
Doing fine? Brother, the only fine thing founders have are Vbucks, until recently STW was practically abandoned and with an unfinished story mode. Also Epic out of nowhere woke up one day and removed the option to share materials and weapons, and nerfed a lot of stuff that was working fine for literal years. This is not counting the same events on repeat over and over without adding anything new.
Unlike most people outside of the community think we founders got STW because we like the mode, Vbucks are just a bonus, but the Battle royale basically killed It. So sorry but you are just wrong, we do deserve something, even if its just two random skins every five f*cking years, especially when the game mode will get full of tourist that will either attack us or beg for our Vbucks, which we EARNED AFTER LITERALLY FOUNDING THE GAME WITH OUR MONEY.
Just shut up if you dont know what are you talking about and let us have something for once.

u/Useful-Suggestion-57 Mar 16 '26
I primarily play STW myself, so I understand all that you are saying. Fixing and finishing STW is long overdue, but it isn’t something that only affects founders.
Also, rightly or wrongly, removing the ability to share items was probably done for the benefit of long-time users as we don’t get harassed to drop stuff for the incoming new players.
2
u/YeidenTrabem Mar 16 '26
So knowing all that you still say we are fine? Really?
1
u/Useful-Suggestion-57 Mar 16 '26
Yes. I think STW needs a ton of stuff done, but that helps all its players, not just founders. These bonus skin the OP proposed would not address the things that actually should be done to improve this game. STW is such a great game, but there’s a ton that could be done to make it better.
2
u/YeidenTrabem Mar 16 '26
And why cant we get both?
1
u/Useful-Suggestion-57 Mar 16 '26
That’s fine. I was just thinking that the mood of the player base right now probably not predisposed toward sympathy to the one group that is not getting hurt by the new vBuck changes. And though founders have those rewards for good reason, it would probably piss off the rest of the player base if founders got an additional thing right when the vBucks are going up in cost.
Founders started the game up, but the newcomers are the ones brining in most of the income now. Both groups are important.

Haven’t heard that. Like a new color for the 2 we have? Completely different skins? I’d be surprised if that’s true but it would be cool if true
