Spider-Man has had a strong history with Fortnite, and now fans of both have had a glimpse of another “Spidey Landing” emote and “Web Slicer” pickaxe.

You can review the leaked images for yourself on Twitter, which seem to be planned for the Zero War set:

Spider-Man is getting a lot of attention again lately, mainly with breaking news about the movie side of things.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the highly anticipated sequel to Into the Spider-Verse, just revealed its villain. Also, No Way Home will return to theaters with some extended sequences later this year, and that movie already had a tie-in.

So, it makes sense to find new Spidey content in Fortnite, which have seen some largely successful collaborations before. However, fans are a little more divided on the latest leaks.

The “Spidey Landing” emote looks like plenty of fun, and it’s a classic pose. Even if superhero landings have been the subject of a few jokes, as in Deadpool or Black Widow.

Unfortunately, some Fortnite fans are frustrated at how similar the emote looks to previous releases. Specifically, the backflip animation doesn’t seem very exciting at this point.

Meanwhile, the “Web Slicer” pickaxe has a surprisingly gritty look to it, and some players feel the design is too cluttered. But the playful copy about empty web cartridges is fun, and there’s still plenty of love for it. Most responses on Twitter agree that the Web Slicer is better than the battle pass pickaxe:

For now, it hasn’t been revealed if these new items will only be available as a bundle, and if purchasing the main Zero War skin will automatically come with the emote and pickaxe.
