Unlike some other skins available as in-game rewards, the new Ghostbuster skins are only available through V-bucks. Along with the Ghostbuster pair, the item shop has a Ghostbuster-themed glider skin, harvesting tool and much more.

The only bone of contention among the fans is the removal of the Charge Shotgun. Some players who had often complained about the gun and are happy with Epic’s decision. However, others argue that it was a skill-based weapon and the developers shouldn’t have vaulted it.
