The Battle Pass is one of the most entertaining things in Fortnite. This progression system offers a variety of rewards every season, including skins, and is relatively easy to complete. On top of that, it costs less than an average skin, making it affordable for everyone. However, the system is completely changing next season, and Epic Games revealed all the details about it.
Earlier this year, Epic made seasonal passes non-exclusive, so it’s no surprise that we’re getting another big change. Once again, this is a positive change that will benefit the community.
Fortnite is removing Battle Stars from the seasonal pass
For more than five years, Fortnite has used Battle Stars with its seasonal pass. These stars had different functionality over in the first five chapters but were always used for leveling up the pass. When the next chapter comes out, this will no longer be the case. Epic Games is moving away from Battle Stars to make the progression system simpler and more effective.
With the release of the Remix season, Epic enabled progression across multiple modes. Thanks to this, it is now possible to level up in Fortnite Festival, LEGO Fortnite, and Battle Royale at the same time. The next chapter will take this a step further by completely removing Battle Stars. Festival Points were also removed with Chapter 2 Remix, while Studs will be gone in Chapter 6 as well.
“Once these earned currencies are retired, the Battle Pass, Music Pass, and LEGO Pass will simply unlock rewards for you to claim as you earn XP.”
Epic Games
Leveling in Fortnite has become extremely easy in every mode. The upcoming change will make this task even quicker, removing the grind completely from the game. It will be interesting to see if Epic Games will add more rewards to the Battle Pass in the future, as that would motivate players to keep playing more after hitting level 200.
