Important takeaways

Fortnite fans are unhappy with the number of Contrails available in the Item Shop, with many saying they are one of the most underrated items in the game. Contrails were introduced way back in Chapter 1 Season 3, and while several of these have been released as Battle Pass rewards, their availability in Fortnite Item Shop remains quite low.
Cosmetics are an integral part of Fortniteand Epic Games keeps things fresh with regular new collaborations. For example, the current season gives players a chance to acquire cosmetics themed around Marvel characters Fortniteincluding the likes of Dr. Doom, War Machine, Emma Frost and Mysterio. However, there is one cosmetic type that Epic Games doesn't focus on as much, and fans are eagerly looking forward to seeing more of it in the Item Shop.
In a new post about Fortnite subreddit, user MrBee_55 highlights the underrated item in the game. By posting a picture of the Contrails available in the Item Shop, the user points out that there are only a few Contrails available in the Item Shop at the moment, not giving players many options to choose from. On the other hand, when it comes to other cosmetics such as Outfits and Backblings in Fortnitethere are many options available to players.
Fortnite fans debate why Contrails aren't popular
On Reddit, fans have been debating why Epic Games doesn't focus much on Contrails. Some believe that Contrails don't have much use, given that they can only be seen for a few seconds during the initial phase of the game. As a result, Epic Games likely focuses on releasing a few good designs each season and doesn't stress too much about it. On the other hand, some players believe that Contrails do not sell as well as other cosmetics i Fortniteso they're not Epic Games' primary focus right now.
While the lack of Contrails in the Item Shop is a valid concern, many noted that there are five new Contrails players can obtain from Fortnite Battle Pass every season. However, some longtime players added that Battle Pass Contrails usually only go well with the skin they are designed for, and their theme makes it quite difficult to pair with other skins. Another interesting suggestion, which many others seem to agree with as well, is to have a basic Contrail pack with a variety of colors, giving players more flexibility to match them with their outfits.
