With a new season at Fortnite: Battle Royale releases a new Battle Pass. Season 5 is officially open, and with it we have the Season 5 Battle Pass. For those who are already familiar with earlier versions, the basics of its operation have not changed dramatically – you will play , complete the challenges, rank and win rewards – hopefully with the level 100 sought, Ragnarok . There are a variety of new skins available with other cosmetic rewards, and we have also got a new category of items called "toys" that you can get and then play with during a game.
There are, however, the main differences with the Battle Pass to be taken into account. One of the changes is great news for those who do not want to pay for a V-Bucks to spend on the Battle Pass, but still want to do new things every week. Here's everything you need to know about the Season 5 Battle Pass, including price, challenge changes, and skins that you can unlock.
How does the Battle Pass work?
did in the past. As you play, you improve your profile, rewarding you with Battle Stars. In turn, these Battle Stars rank your Battle Pass, which allows you to obtain a variety of rewards. These awards are divided into two levels: a small number that can be obtained by all players, and those reserved for owners of Battle Pass. You do not need to buy the Battle Pass right away to avoid missing out; you can buy it mid-season and retroactively earn the premium rewards based on the level you have already reached.
However, there is an advantage to grabbing the Battle Pass sooner than later. Among the premium rewards, you will receive XP bonuses, both for playing in general and for playing a party with friends. Because the level with XP is translated by Battle Stars (so your Battle Pass), it is in your interest to take the early Battle Pass and benefit from these bonuses. The purchase of the Battle Pass also allows you to access all the challenges of the season (more on those in a moment), which are an easy way to win stars of the battle and to rank further away .

As in the past, the Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks a premium currency obtained with real money.The purchase of the smallest package available (1000 V-Bucks) costs $ 10, which leaves you 50 V-Bucks to start saving for the purchase of a skin, a cosmetic or a future Battle Pass There is no option to buy the Battle Pass directly with real money, as had been the plan at any given time.That said, it is undoubtedly an excellent value because of the way the Battle Pass rewards you with other V-Bucks (something that we delve into below)

The Weekly Challenges were a great highlight of past battle passes. By purchasing one, you'll receive a set of seven new goals to complete each week, which will allow you to rank your Battle Pass faster and earn rewards. Those who did not have the Battle Pass could still win a very limited number of rewards, but they only had access to one set of seven Starter Challenges for the duration of the season.
For season 5, there are no Starter challenges. Instead, each set of weekly challenges has been divided into free and premium sections. These goals offer up to five or ten battle stars, the latter being reserved for tough stars. Each week will have a difficult challenge for free players, while the other two are reserved for Battle Pass owners. Notably, the bonus of 5k XP available each week is reserved for owners of Battle Pass; You must complete four challenges in a given week to unlock this, meaning that it is only possible with access to the full series of challenges of the week.
You Still Get Free V-Bucks
As noted above, the Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks, but it's probably worth it if you play regularly. Among the premium rewards available in the Battle Pass are the V-Bucks – all six to ten levels, you'll win [100.000 V-Bucks gratuits] . (There are also two 100 V-Buck rewards in the free award rank at Ranks 18 and 34.) Reaching Rank 58 will earn you 1,000 V-Bucks, which is more than you'll get. spent for the Battle Go first.
There are still 500 V-Bucks left to win, although this requires a lot of playing time. The epic estimates that win all the Battle Pass rewards take from 75 to 150 hours, but if you play regularly and complete a lot of challenges, it should not be difficult to recover most or all of what you invest in the Battle Pass. 19659003] Road Trip and Drift are the New Challenges of Blockbuster and Carbide
One of the wrinkles of Season 4 of the Battle Pass was the introduction of the Blockbuster and Carbide Challenges. They are back for Season 5, but with new names: Road Trip and Drift, respectively. Both require the purchase of the Season 5 Battle Pass.
Road Trip Challenges asks you to pass the seven challenges of a week. The reward is a charging screen that – if season 4 is an indication – will lead you to a secret battle star that ranks your Battle Pass one level. There are seven Road Trip challenges in total, and by completing all of these challenges (meaning you complete a full seven weeks of challenges), you will earn a bonus reward that appears to be a legendary skin. We are not sure what it is before at least the seventh week of challenges is at stake.
Drift challenges are similar to Carbide, in that You are simply asked to play a lot. This time, however, rather than being asked to reach a certain level, you are responsible for earning a certain amount of XP – from 10,000 to 200,000. Each of the five challenges offers a new style option for the skin Drift an outfit that you will receive for free as soon as you purchase the Battle Pass. If you complete four of the five Drift Challenges (which means that you have earned 100,000 XP total), you will also receive the Harvest Tool Rift Edge an alternative for the pick.
