Fortnite Season 5 adds Baby Yoda, bounties, map changes, and more.

The zero point has been exposed and Fortnite Season 5 has begun. Here’s what you need to know about Fortnite Season 5 and what to expect from the new v15.00 update, which is now available on all active platforms (sorry, iOS users). While we don’t have any Season 5 patch notes, there is a new Battle Pass full of challenges and skins – including one for the Mandalorian – significant changes to the map, and much more to discover. You have a lot to do with the new update, including special bonuses on other players.

Battle pass

The new Battle Pass is rumored to include content from the Star Wars TV show The Mandalorian. Players can unlock a skin based on the Mandalorian itself by simply purchasing the Battle Pass, then challenges – like visiting the Razor Crest – will unlock additional customization options. By ranking the Battle Pass you can unlock tons of rewards, both inspired by Star Wars and others, while reaching Rank 100 you will get both The Child (aka Baby Yoda) as a pet and a style additional clothing for the Mando. skin.

At the higher levels, there’s a secret skin and back bling that players can eventually unlock, though it’s unclear what that might relate to. Additionally, according to a leak, this season will bring God of War’s Kratos in skin form, although that’s likely a separate purchase rather than part of the battle pass.

As usual, you can unlock the new Battle Pass content through gameplay or by spending real money to get the items faster. This Battle Pass retails for the regular price of 950 V-Bucks (just under $ 10) or, for the first time, you can join Fortnite Crew, a monthly subscription service that includes V-Bucks, access to the Battle Pass and more benefits.

New weapons and items

The Zero Point update also introduces new weapons, including the Dragon’s Breath shotgun and Night Hawk. Another is the Mandalorian’s Amban Sniper rifle, which allows you to switch between melee and ranged. One way to get it is to head to Mando’s ship and take out the nearby AI enemy. You also need to reach this ship to get a piece of armor. More weapons are coming throughout the Season 5 update, so you can expect a bigger arsenal over time.

A new form of currency, bars, is also available in Fortnite. You can earn them by completing quests and bounties; they are also earned by accumulating victories and finding hidden objects on the map. These bars can be spent on exotic weapons and upgrades, among others.

Système de primes

Les joueurs de Fortnite trouveront également de nouvelles quêtes et primes de la part des PNJ. “Acceptez leurs quêtes et leurs primes, obtenez des informations sur votre environnement ou engagez-les pour être votre allié. Vous ne voulez pas négocier? Défiez-les en duel et récoltez les récompenses”, a déclaré Epic. Le système de primes vous fournit des objectifs spécifiques pendant un match, comme traquer un autre joueur. Bien sûr, cela signifie que vous pouvez devenir la cible d’une prime, vous devrez donc faire très attention pour vous assurer de ne pas être traqué.

Modifications de la carte

Enfin, la carte Fortnite a introduit de nouveaux emplacements «au-delà de la boucle». La description dit: “Battez-vous pour l’honneur dans une ancienne arène, améliorez vos compétences de survie dans la jungle et explorez les sables cristallins mouvants qui coulent du point zéro exposé.” Le point zéro peut maintenant être assis flottant dans les airs au milieu de la carte, et les sables couvrent la majeure partie de la zone centrale de la carte – et vous permettent de vous cacher en dessous.

Galactus

Tout cela arrive après l’événement Galactus de Fortnite, qui a vu les joueurs faire équipe pour vaincre le grand méchant avant de pouvoir consommer le point zéro. Cependant, malgré le succès de son combat, le point zéro a été compromis, ce qui met en place le scénario que vous voyez dans la bande-annonce de l’histoire qui se joue lors du premier démarrage du jeu, avec Jonesy envoyé en action.
