Earlier this week, Epic Games released a few new Terminator skins for Fortnite, and the publisher is now offering refunds to those who bought the T-800. The official Fortnite website indicated that the skin was accompanied by a built-in Cyberdyne Salute emote. That is not the case, which may have led to complaints from players. Epic’s official Fortnite Status Twitter account has reported that players can request one using the in-game flow. A specific date when players can get that refund has not been announced, but it will be available sometime next week.
Epic Games’ Tweet can be found below.
We corrected an error at https://t.co/xlIk0X9a5H that the T-800 Outfit contained a built-in Emote. If you want a refund, you can create one from next week using the in-game flow (no refund token needed). Watch for an in-game notification next week. pic.twitter.com/HjTrpbU0jf

The Cyberdyne Salute emote is intended to evoke the last moments of the T-800 Terminator 2: Judgment Day, where the character took a molten steel bath to insure his own destruction and protect the future. The original trailer released by Epic Games and announcing the content featured a tribute to that moment, but this time the T-800 is stopped by Jonesy, who takes it to the world of Fortnite to enlist his help.
Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 5 has a theme aimed at the greatest hunters of the multiverse. T-800 and Sarah Connor are the last “hunters” added this season, after Din Djarin (The Mandalorian), Kratos (God of war), Master Chief (Halo) and Predator. There have been a number of rumors about future fighters, including Tom Raider star Lara Croft. Epic Games has been steadily adding new skins since the season kicked off last month, so fans probably won’t have to wait much longer to see which character will be next!
Fortnite is currently available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. You can view all of our previous coverage of the game here.
