Fortnite stole the ‘Among Us’ idea and now they are working together – Here’s how to get the new items

In Fortnite the popular Imposter mode was introduced in 2021. However, upon closer observation, it was found that the mode was heavily copied from Among Us. Now, after the developers of Among Us and Epic Games have communicated, a collaboration should take place soon, and therefore we will show you the items and how to get them.

What was stolen from Fortnite? Not only the gameplay was designed in a similar environment, but the map was also copied. The tasks, as well as sabotages, could also be traced back to the deduction game “Among Us”. Gary Porter, a Twitter user, put a comparison online showing how similar the two modes look.

After this dilemma, the developer of Among Us explained on social networks that he would have preferred to enter into an official collaboration instead of letting it unfold so sneakily.

Fortnite then responded online on Twitter with the “Among Us” tag, asking whether they would be interested in entering into a collaboration.

This has now been realized, and many players have long awaited that the items would finally be made available in Fortnite. We will show you which items those are and how to get them.

What items are available in Fortnite for Among Us? Players in Fortnite have the opportunity to unlock two items from Among Us. They are as follows:

  • Distraction Dance – Emote
  • Crewmate – Back accessory

The back accessory is special because you have the choice of 10 different colors of the Crewmates if you have unlocked it.

How do I get the items? To get the items, you must purchase Among Us in the Epic Games Store. The game costs €3.99 and needs to be purchased while logged in with your linked Fortnite/Epic Games account. This way, Epic Games knows which account the items should be assigned to.

If you have already purchased Among Us, you will either get the items for free or you will need to purchase a star package for Among Us in the “Addons” section in the Epic Games Store. It is sufficient to choose the cheapest package.

Will they come to the Item Shop? That is still unknown, but it is quite possible that the items might appear in the Item Shop at a later date.

How much time do I have to get the items? The offer runs for quite a while. You have until June 9, 2023, to purchase Among Us and receive the items.

What do you think of the items in Fortnite? Do you think they are cool or are they not for you and would you rather stick with your familiar backpacks and dances in Fortnite? Feel free to let us know in the comments what you think!
