With the launch of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, players were introduced to a revamped Locker UI intended to enhance the customization experience. The new UI compartmentalized various cosmetics, including skins, emotes, and wraps, and this did not resonate well with players. Now, it seems Epic Games was listening and is starting to act on it.

Many users expressed concerns regarding the new Locker UI as they thought that the changes overcomplicated the seamless and fun process of crafting outfits before diving into the game. With different sections for each cosmetic, navigating through the UI and player cosmetics became a hassle.
