  • Epic Games is offering a refund for players who purchased the emote, valid until November 26, 2025, without requiring refund tokens.
  • The emote was released on October 24, 2025, costs 500 V-Bucks, and has been temporarily removed from the item shop.

The "Come Inside of My Heart" emote is a recent addition to Fortnite's cosmetic lineup, featuring a dance animation and soundtrack. However, users have reported that the emote's special visual effects do not work properly on some character skins, particularly older ones that have masks or hidden face features inside their models.

The 'Emote' and its issues

The emote is part of the Icon Series and was priced at 500 V-Bucks when released on October 24, 2025. Unfortunately, Epic Games discovered that the emote's effects were not playing correctly for all skins, which resulted in some players seeing no animation or visual effect during the dance.

The issue seems to be linked to how certain character models, especially masked ones like the "Creepier" variant of Nite Nite, handle the emote's animation effects. Those skins have a hidden face inside their masks, causing the visual glitches.

How to check if your skin is affected by the glitch

If the emote's effects do not display on your character during gameplay, especially if you use older or masked skins, you likely encountered the glitch. Testing the emote on different skins can help verify if the problem occurs exclusively with certain models.

Refund availability and process

Epic Games has responded promptly by offering refunds to all players who purchased the "Come Inside of My Heart" emote. The refund period runs until November 26, 2025, allowing eligible players to reclaim their 500 V-Bucks without needing any refund tokens, which are usually required for such transactions.

To get the refund:

  • Go to Fortnite's main menu in the game.
  • Open the settings and navigate to the "Support and Refunds" tab.
  • Find the option to request a refund for the "Come Inside of My Heart" emote.
  • Follow the on-screen steps to complete the refund before the deadline.

After removing the emote temporarily from the item shop, Epic plans to fix the underlying problems with how the visual effects apply to various skins. Once resolved, they may return the emote to the shop. Players who purchased it can continue to use it until the refund period expires.
