Grab yourself a Battle Pass in Fortnite and you can take on a bunch of weekly challenges that not only give you a perfect excuse to play, but provide you with the best rewards.
The Battle Pass isn’t free though – it will set you back around £7.99 / $9.99 worth of V-Bucks, the in-game currency, but it’s completely worth it if you play a lot of Fortnite.
In this guide, we’re going to briefly explain how the Battle Pass and weekly challenges work, and detail exactly what you have to do this week to get your hands on those awesome end of season rewards.
We’ll also run you through the rest of this season’s challenges, which you can still complete. They won’t run out until the season does in July.
Fortnite – What is a battle pass?
A Battle Pass in Fortnite provides access to a season’s worth of weekly challenges that you can complete in exchange for exclusive rewards. A season lasts 10 weeks, so that’s quite a lot of bang for your buck.
To get your hands on a Battle Pass, you first have to buy (or earn) the appropriate number of V-Bucks, which is Fortnite’s premium currency. A Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks right now, and 1,000 V-Bucks costs £7.99 / $9.99.
Buy a Battle Pass and it lasts for an entire season of Fortnite, so you will need to purchase another when the new season starts. The good news is that you can earn a total of 1,300 V-Bucks over the course of a season, provided you get to the max season level of 100. As long as you don’t get tempted to spend them on consumable items, you can feasibly pay once and get enough V-Bucks each season to buy the next Battle Pass every single time.
Fortnite – How does a season work?
A season of Fortnite lasts 10 weeks, and you have to earn a total of 100 tiers in order to get the maximum rewards. You start at tier one, and can increase in tier by completing challenges or levelling up to earn Battle Stars.
That’s where the challenges come in. Complete one and you’ll earn between five and 10 Battle Stars, and if you earn enough of them you’ll increase in tier. You can also earn Battle Stars by increasing your season level, and by owning a Battle Pass you’ll earn more XP anyway.
Get to tier 100 and the entire set of rewards is yours. This typically includes emotes, character skins, V-Bucks, XP boosts, sprays, loading screens, and harvesting tools.
Fortnite – What are the Daily, Blockbuster, and Carbide challenges?
These are three different types of challenges that reward you with various extras. Let’s take a look at how they differ.
Fortnite – Daily challenges
Daily challenges change every 24 hours and provide you with three generally quick and easy challenges. Complete them and you’ll get a nice chunk of XP and Battle Stars.
Fortnite – Blockbuster challenges
Blockbuster challenges task you with beating every single challenge in each week of Fortnite, and reward you with an exclusive secret item. You only need to get all of the challenges in seven out of the 10 weeks to unlock the maximum reward.
Fortnite – Carbide challenges
Carbide challenges are similar to Blockbuster challenges, but reward you based on your total season level.
Don’t confuse your season level with your tier level – that has its own specific rewards. The season level is the number that appears on the left of your screen while in the lobby.
Beat these challenges and you’ll unlock a unique outfit and harvesting tool. You need only reach level 65 during a season to get the full set.
