Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is now in full swing, and players have discovered a cool detail about the new Spider-Gwen skin when paired with a certain emote. Gwen’s introduction with Season 4 marks the latest addition of Spider-Man content to Fortnite, and judging from the little details, Epic Games put some extra care into its latest crossover skin.

Going with the theme of “Paradise,” Season 4 has brought a bunch of new things into the popular battle royale. Mechanics like Slide Kicking and items like the Port-a-Bunker have been introduced, as well as plenty of new items and abilities tied to the mysterious liquid Chrome that’s now spreading across the map. Along with all this and a new Battle Pass, Epic has kept its crossover streak going by bringing in the popular version of Gwen Stacy seen in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, with the skin boasting a subtle nod to the 2018 movie and its unique visual style.

Reddit user Danny4648 highlighted this in a comparison video focusing on a unique interaction between the Spider-Gwen skin and the new Arachrobatics emote. Normally the emote just has a player character perform a series of acrobatic flips and spins, but when Spider-Gwen does it, the character’s frame-rate drops and the animation gains a few unique flourishes like motion-smear effects. This perfectly mimics the distinct animation style of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and it’s a neat callback to include in a skin/emote combination that fans may easily miss out on.

The Fortnite community seems to feel similarly, judging by the overall reaction to Danny4648’s video. Many comments praised all the unique details in Spider-Gwen’s Arachrobatics emote, and
