FORTNITE’S hotly anticipated new season is finally here, bringing new characters, changes to the map and more.
We’ve got all the details on Fortnite Season 2, Chapter 2 as it launches today.
Fortnite’s new season is finally upon us
What are Fortnite Seasons and when does Chapter 2 Season 2 start?
Fortnite is run in chapters that are split into seasons, with each season lasting roughly ten weeks.
Every time a new season begins, the game’s map changes slightly and new characters, cosmetic items and more are released to players.
You don’t have to pay to upgrade to a new season.
Fortnite Season 2, Chapter 2 officially began on February 20, 2020.
Fortnite maker Epic Games has tinkered with the formula too much for its latest season
How much will the Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 Battle Pass cost?
Players can purchase a Battle Pass to unlock unique challenges and awards for their characters.
The full set of additional rewards for Chapter 2, Season 2 costs 950 V-Bucks Fortnite’s in-game currency.
You can cover that with the smallest available bundle of V-Bucks, which bags you 1,000 for 7.99 / $9.99.
If you want 25 Tiers of the Battle Pass included, you can always splash out a little more for the Battle Bundle.
That costs 2,800 V-Bucks, which you can buy for 19.99 / $24.99 with the conveniently packaged 2,500 (+300 free) V-Buck bundle.
