Battle Pass

The Battle Pass is a seasonal cosmetic item in Fortnite: Battle Royale which grants the player over 100 Rewards, in exchange for Season XP. The Battle Pass has two versions, a paid one, and a free one, with the free one offering less rewards, but costing no V-Bucks.

Description
The Battle Pass contains 100 unique rewards, with some of these offering multiple cosmetic items or styles. Players unlock these by levelling up 100 times in the season, to unlock every basic reward in the pass. Players may level up beyond 100 to unlock further rewards. Players who have the unpaid version of the pass will still be able to level up as normal, but they will be capped at 100, and can only unlock select items.

The Pass costs 950 V-Bucks for the premium pass, and 0 for the free one. Players receive 1,500 V-Bucks per season on the paid version, and 300 on the free one. An one-time Special Offer exists that can be purchased in the Item Shop for 1,850 V-Bucks. It will grant 25+ Levels in the current Battle Pass (125 Battle Stars). Players may also purchase levels using V-Bucks, at the cost of 100 V-Bucks per level, up to 200. The Battle Pass can also be unlocked through purchasing the Fortnite Crew.
