Special Members[3] also just got new badges. They get new badges every month. Here are a few examples from the July badges pack:

Some users prefer to get premium badges individually. You can do it by clicking Get Badges under Create Post button on the web (new.reddit.com[4]).
​
Finally, GIFs in Comments are coming soon:

TLDR: There is a new Special Membership subscription in the subreddit. Check out this page[5] for more details and to sign up.

Now you can get a Special Membership in r/FortniteBR to improve your experience on the subreddit. This comes with features that help you stand out, express yourself in different ways, and connect with other people who really care about the community. I’ve spoken to hundreds of people from the subreddit to develop these ideas, and we’re very excited about them.
Starting today, people with the Special Membership have two types of badges next to their username and also the ability to add animated emojis to their comments. Over time, we will be adding even more features, like GIFs in comments, Achievement Badges, and a Members Lounge.
​
The first badge is the Loyalty badge. It changes over time, so people see how long you’ve been a Special Member (1 month, 3 months, 6 months, etc).
The second one is a Style badge, which gives your username a matching color, and it is based on popular things from the subreddit. We will be releasing 8 new Style badges every month, which Special Members add to their ever-growing collection.
​
Comment only with emojis to make them bigger
As a Special Member, you can also add emojis to your comments. Like badges, these are custom to the subreddit, and several of them are also animated. Emojis are currently only on the web, but will be coming to mobile shortly.
There are other features for the Special Membership that we will be adding soon. For example, the ability to add GIFs within comments. And also a Members Lounge, a place where Special Members can hang out with each other.
The Special Membership is a paid subscription feature, and the fees help support the development of these new features. This is something we're doing for r/FortniteBR, and our small team of developers is very excited to be working on it!

Hi r/FortniteBR[7],
7: https://www.reddit.com/r/FortniteBR
I’m an admin & Reddit dev. I work on a team here at Reddit that is building special features for r/FortniteBR[8]. There’s something I’ve been working on that I wanted to share.
8: https://www.reddit.com/r/FortniteBR
One thing people have been telling us is that they want a way to add a personality to their presence on the subreddit. Something like a skin, but for Reddit.
We started thinking about this, and we came up with an idea: **Badges**.
When you have a badge, it will be displayed before your username, and **your username will be distinguished** with a matching color.
This is what badges look like on web
And this is what they look like on mobile
Notice the badge comes before the username, so you can still have flair on the other side.
The badges are custom designed just for this subreddit, with images, memes, and jokes that have become popular here.
Some of the badges may be limited edition, so they will only be available to the first few people who get them. In the future, we also want to get more ideas from the community for new badges that we can keep making.
If you are interested in badges and willing to give feedback, I’d really like to talk to you. Add me on Discord at jarins#4775, or send /u/jarins[9] a PM.

EDIT: To clarify, we are planning to release badges in about a month as a premium feature. People who are willing to give me feedback get an opportunity to participate in a limited pre-sale. Ping me if you are interested or have feedback!

$5 for a small digital icon? Couldn't you do this for *free* on the old reddit design?
I understand that you guys want to monetize the site but it's still crazy to me how much value certain digital content apparently has.

Why are most of the people here ok with this, its paid flairs that seem to only work on new reddit.

Can you guys make a trash can one for me? I feel like that will describe my play style accurately.
Edit: lol- they’re selling them. What a joke.

This just seems completely unnecessary, and the pricing is ridiculous. $5 for a tiny badge that signifies nothing except the fact that you wasted $5 is just a bridge too far. It’s not like this is a skin or other cosmetic in a game that makes you look cool or that allows you to express yourself, it’s a generic looking sprite that’s been made to create a false sense of exclusivity in order to separate you from your $5. I’m sorry if that sounds harsh, but it’s the truth.
Also, for everyone asking for badges of all the various Fortnite characters, IPs, properties, etc, those are all copyrighted, this dude does not have permission to use them, to create such badges and then charge money for them is theft. Not saying any of the samples shown amount to that, just mentioning that for all the people asking for things like a bright bomber or drift badge.

How is this different from flair? CSS already allows for multiple flair, position changes, and colors.
E: Lol @ admins casually leaving out the most important part that they would be paid in order to farm upvotes. At least it looks like they did their research on what sub to push their cosmetic microtransactions and limited time sales

Aren't all community fortnite things supposed to be non-profit?
Cool feats, but I'm not going to give you money. I need my money for other things like gasoline, bills and insurance.

I thought monetizing a subreddit was against Reddit rules? Is this not the case?
This mod comment from 2017 says it's not allowed, did something change?

Lol even more ways to monetize. And of course it’s first on a subreddit dedicated to the most popular game at the moment that’s mainly populated by children. Way to go, exploiting kids that don’t know any better.

The fact that this is still pinned is ridiculous. I assume this is going to be shoved down our throats until the end of the year. If Reddit admins are going to keep this ad pinned so the sub can get money out of its users, then allow the sub 3 pins.
