Fortnite's Cyberpunk 2077 crossover has introduced a range of items inspired by the popular RPG, including skins for female V and Johnny Silverhand. However, one of the backblings, which comes with Johnny’s skin, has sparked controversy due to its dark backstory from the Cyberpunk 2077 universe.
Players who buy V's skin will receive a Flathead drone as her backbling, a fitting accessory for the character. Johnny Silverhand’s backbling, on the other hand, has left many fans shocked. Initially teased as a “Travel backbling” by Fortnite leakers, it has now been revealed that the item is actually the nuke used by Johnny and his crew to destroy Arasaka Tower in Cyberpunk 2077.
Fans quickly took to social media to express their surprise, with one person commenting on a tweet from HYPEX, saying, "Damn, they’re selling the bomb that blew up corporate greed, crazy." Others drew comparisons to the nuke, stating it’s like turning a tragic historical event into a Fortnite item, with one user writing, "It’s the equivalent of putting the plane that did 911 in Fortnite and making it a glider."
The choice of backbling has raised eyebrows, especially given that there are other items from Cyberpunk 2077, such as Johnny's iconic guitar, that would have been more fitting for his backbling. Johnny’s guitar is set to appear in Fortnite’s Jam Tracks and Festival mode, making it a perfect match for the character.
The Fortnite x Cyberpunk 2077 collaboration officially begins on December 23, bringing not only V and Johnny Silverhand skins and their respective backblings but also the Mantis Blades pickaxe, Katana pickaxe, and the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech vehicle to the Item Shop.
