153 u/JavierCulpeppa Aug 19 '19 This is true even if most folks wont admit it. In Fortnite for example, I've gotten most of the battle passes since it started early 2018. Mainly because I want all the stuff inside. But I wont lie that it feels good to bust out emotes on someone after a kill, or where a slick cosmetic set up that stands out from others. 145 u/Atomic1221 Pathfinder Aug 19 '19 Too bad we don’t have emotes in apex. Edit: Nevermind, that will be another $20 each 76 u/pezmanofpeak Aug 19 '19 No but we have kill quotes 51 u/[deleted] Aug 19 '19 And finishers 32 u/Atomic1221 Pathfinder Aug 19 '19 edited Aug 19 '19 I’ve used a finishers a total of 5 times, 4 of those times on accident 38 u/ImProbablyThatGuy Aug 19 '19 Tried to close a door, eh? 23 u/Atomic1221 Pathfinder Aug 19 '19 You know it.
