But when I opened my locker, where Epic lets users swap clothing and virtual gear, there was a warning icon above the accessories on my back— Metal Cat/Car/Spherical Object – Not available for experiences rated Everyone 10 Plus or lower. When I loaded the experience, the game removed the accessories entirely.

In that article, Epic added an update saying that 7% of the costumes are only compatible with the Teen-level experience. However, the update also says that Epic will make changes “next year” so that “most” blocked costumes can be used. Spokesperson Dan Walsh provided a hypothetical example: fort night Take off the gun strapped to your leg Agent Pillee’s Outfit.
