Fortnite’s Upcoming Battle Pass Updates Signal a Bright Future
Multimode Players Will Be Rewarded for Their Efforts in Fortnite Chapter 6
The battle pass overhaul is especially compelling for fans of various game modes, as cross-progression between them will now be the new norm. Epic Games' popular title now hosts hundreds of custom-made games likeFall GuysIslands, mini-games, and Team Deathmatches.Creator-made experiences can generate XPwhile playing, with some maps awarding more XP than others, but there is a daily cap of 200,000 XP. When it comes to Epic’s permanent modes, players often find it easier to earn XP through the following:
Previously, some players criticized the requirement to grind through three different game modes to complete dailies, arguing there wasn’t enough time in the day for all of them. Additionally, the potentially overwhelming and confusing nature of this system, which was installed last year, has led some players to avoidmodes outside ofFortnite’s battle royale. With a unified track on the horizon, players who usually stick to one or two game modes are likely to feel more comfortable branching out, as it will be both encouraged and worthwhile.
Before thenews ofFortnite’s battle pass changes, playingFortnite Festival,LEGOFortnite, and Rocket Racing granted XP for the Battle Royale pass, but engaging in either Battle Royale or Creative did not yield rewards for the other modes. Notably, XP gained inFortniteFestivalandLEGO Fortnitedidn’t boost the subsequent passes, as players needed to complete certain quests instead to unlock Studs and Festival Points. Now that Epic is adjusting its course to implement the Battle Royale battle pass model across its permanent game modes, the player base appears eager since this is a feature they have been requesting over the year.
It’s uncertain how this may affect Save the World or Save the World Ventures but considering that Epic Games stated that players will “be able to progress Music and LEGO Passes through any experience inFortnite,” it’s expected to be included.
Overall, the need-to-know details are as follows:
ForFortniteCrew members, it seems the developers are exploring a way for players to access all premium passes simultaneously. While details are still forthcoming, this is already an exciting prospect. Overall, asFortniteprepares for these significant changes, players can look forward to a more streamlined experience that rewards their time across all game modes.
