Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 has begun, introducing new areas, skins, and weapons to unlock. One of the skins, Metal Gear Solid’s Snake, is buried deep inside this season’s battle cross, and whereas of us are determining the way to unlock the bonus beauty, it appears everybody’s bummed by his newfound lack of cake.
Solid Snake, the first protagonist of lots of the Metal Gear Solid video games, has discovered himself in crossovers earlier than Fortnite. He briefly appeared within the action-platformer Ape Escape 3, the sports activities recreation Evolution Skateboarding, and quite a few fighters, together with DreamMix TV World Fighters and the Super Smash Bros. collection. While he usually maintained the identical look throughout the video games he cameoed in, one factor did change with every time Solid Snake confirmed up: the plumpness of his buttocks. His posterior is generally fairly distinguished, what with the quantity of leaping and crawling he does out on the sphere, however Super Smash Bros Ultimate decimated his cheeks, leaving of us unhappy that his ass was flat. Now the identical factor’s occurred in Fortnite.
Snake’s ass has been nerfed, once more
Folks took to the web, from TikTok to Reddit to Twitter, to share their grief over developer Epic Games totally “de-cakeifying” Solid Snake in Fortnite. You’d suppose somebody simply died with the extent of unhappiness that’s all around the timeline, as folks put up about how the previous spy has zero, ahem, property. It’s truly fairly tragic.
The frequent sentiment from posters on-line, it appears, is that Epic Games—or Fortnite—hates male ass because the recreation flattened Omni-Man’s butt, in addition to these of a number of different in-game character skins, together with Captain America and Doomguy.
“Fortnite nerfed Snake’s ass,” twitter user AttackOnCoffee wrote. “This is a crime.”
“Screaming and yelling and throwing up because they gave fortnite solid snake a flat ass which is deeply antithetical to everything hideo kojima stands for,” tweeted slayerfest1999. “Disgusting.”
“Snake has no ass,” said JupiterJepsen on X/Twitter. “Rip.”
As you possibly can see, Solid Snake’s bought some flat muffins, which is sort of contradictory once you have a look at what he had in, say, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. In reality, a meme that’s been floating round for just a few years now sees our former spy making quite a lot of noise whereas sneaking round a warehouse as a result of he’s “dummy thicc,” referring to his substantive cheeks. Voice actor David Hayter even bought in on the enjoyable, lending his iconic pipes to ship among the finest strains in gaming. It’s a disgrace, then, that Epic Games shouldn’t be honoring the character’s leg-assy—I imply, legacy in Fortnite.
