The bad luck of the Terminator franchise strikes again, and it looks like a couple of price blunders will see profit loss from the Terminator 2: Judgment Day Fortnite crossover.
T-800 Endoskeleton (Uncle Bob) Fortnite Skin Refund
An information error on the Fortnite website led players to believe that the T-800 would come with a built in thumbs up emote (Cyberdyne Salute). The emote is of course a tribute to the iconic moment at the end of the movie when the T-800 Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) sinks into the molten steel.
We corrected an error on https://t.co/xlIk0X9a5H that the T-800 Outfit included a built-in Emote. If you’d like a refund, you’ll be able to make one using the in-game flow (no refund token needed) starting next week. Be on the lookout for an in-game notification next week. pic.twitter.com/HjTrpbU0jf

The original post on the official Fortnite website stated the following…
If you’re more machine than man, the T-800 features a
neural-net processorerr… built-in Emote, and you can also purchase the HK Sky Net Uplink Back Bling and Techno-Grip Axe.Fortnite Official Website
This has since been updated to…
“We have updated this blog to reflect that the Cyberdyne Salute Emote is not a built-in Emote included with the purchase of the T-800. If you purchased the T-800 outfit and are no longer satisfied with your purchase, you will be able to make a refund using the in-game flow (no refund token required) starting next week. Be on the lookout for an in-game notification when it’s available. Thanks for playing!”

So technically, due to this error, if you bought only the T-800 skin you can request a refund and sadly, this means that people who didn’t know about the emote (or care for it) can exploit this refund regardless – which is a shame as the T-800 Endoskeleton is so iconic and will have been a huge draw for players in terms of purchases.
Compensation For Sarah Connor Fortnite Store Related Error
Did you buy the Sarah Connor skin, then later decide ‘F*CK IT, I’LL BUY THE ENTIRE TERMINATOR BUNDLE’… ? Well, it looks like you got overcharged via a store error, and you’ll be receiving some compensation next week.
The price for the Future War bundle was incorrect if you had purchased the Sarah Connor Outfit before acquiring the bundle.

The price difference will be automatically compensated for affected players sometime next week.
Fortnite support are receiving some other complaints related to the Fortnite Future War Set, with some claiming they were overcharged, or that other players paid less than they did.
We have reached out to Epic Games for comment and clarification on the matter.
