I never thought I'd be caught in a digital wardrobe malfunction that would make even Clark Kent blush! Here I am, a dedicated Fortnite player since the stone ages, and Epic Games has just pulled the most RIDICULOUS cape-swapping trick on me in Chapter 6 Season 3. It's like showing up to a superhero convention wearing mismatched boots – EMBARRASSING!

The Great Cape Catastrophe

Let me tell you, this superhero-themed season had me HYPED beyond belief! When I heard Superman was making his triumphant return alongside Robin's debut, I threw my V-Bucks at the screen faster than a speeding bullet! 🚀 Epic Games introduced this fancy new Battle Bundle for 1,800 V-Bucks that gives 25 levels of rewards AND early access to the Superman skin before its official July 11 release. Talk about a deal that seemed too super to be true!

And guess what? IT WAS!

After purchasing this glorious bundle, my Superman appeared with the WRONG CAPE! Can you believe it? Epic Games somehow managed to give me the ancient Superman cape from Chapter 2 Season 7! I was strutting around the island looking like I was wearing vintage superhero fashion from 2021! THE HORROR! 😱

The Plot Thickens

But wait, the story gets even more OUTRAGEOUS! As if giving me the wrong cape wasn't enough, Epic then decided to play cape musical chairs with my entire wardrobe! One moment I had both capes (the old one AND the new one), and the next moment – POOF! – my original Chapter 2 Season 7 cape VANISHED into thin air!

I'm not alone in this fashion emergency either! The Fortnite community is EXPLODING with similar tales of cape confusion:

  • Players receiving vintage capes instead of shiny new ones

  • Original cape owners finding their accessories STOLEN

  • Superman enthusiasts left cape-less and confused

  • Epic Games scrambling like ants at a picnic to fix the issue

Superman's Not The Only One Getting Attention

While I'm over here having a cape crisis, Epic Games has been busy transforming the entire island into Superman central! Those adorable sprites are now decked out in tiny Superman costumes, shooting LASERS from their eyes! It's both ridiculously cute and deadly effective. 🔥

And don't even get me started on Krypto! Epic added Superman's super-powered pooch to the game, and I've been throwing those special dog treats like there's no tomorrow. Nothing says "I'm winning this battle royale" like summoning a cosmic canine to blast your enemies! 🐕

The Current State of Cape Affairs

As of June 2025, Epic's official FortniteStatus account claims they're "actively looking into the issues surrounding Superman's cape." ACTIVELY LOOKING? My superhero is basically flying around in a fashion disaster while they're "looking into it"!

Here's my current inventory situation:

Superman Version Cape Status My Emotional State
Chapter 2 S7 MISSING Devastated 😭
Chapter 6 S3 Finally Correct Cautiously relieved 😌

What's Next For This Caped Confusion?

Despite this cape calamity, I must admit the new season has me OBSESSED! The superhero theme is everything my inner comic book nerd could dream of. Between the Superman family reunion happening on the island and all the other superhero content on the horizon, I'm still logging in daily (cape drama and all).

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Epic Games sorts out this cape catastrophe soon. Until then, I'll be the one in the battle royale looking like I'm wearing a superhero outfit that went through the wash on the wrong setting.

For anyone else experiencing the Great Cape Confusion of 2025, know that you're not alone! We stand together, a community united by our shared cape trauma. May your V-Bucks be plentiful and your capes eventually correct! ⚡
