Why are there shops labelled as 'parts'? For varying reasons, Epic Games may decide to add or remove items from the Item Shop before the usual rotation occurs. The Fortnite Wiki treats each change to the Item Shop within a single day as a separate 'part' that makes up the day's Item Shop History. |
Why are there two different numbers for A WEATHER BALLOON's appearances? A WEATHER BALLOON has, on at least one occasion, appeared in more than one shop in a single day. This has resulted in its count for appearances in the Item Shop being higher than the amount of days it has appeared in it. Both counts are listed by the Fortnite Wiki in order to be as accurate as possible, unlike other sources. |

Trivia
Trivia[]
- A WEATHER BALLOON is named after the excuse that Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) are actually just a weather balloon, often used in denial of their existence.
- Its description mentions swamp gas, which is another excuse used in the denial of the existence of UFOs. It also seems to be a reference to a quote from the 1997 film Men in Black.
