We’ve officially returned to the world of modern game design and graphics in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 1, which is unleashing both Peter Griffin from Family Guy and Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid on a brand-new battle royale island.
After last season’s OG Pass featured only 70 tiers worth of items, the Chapter 5 battle pass is a normal-sized one. For 950 V-Bucks, you get eight skins and their accompanying sets of back blings, pickaxes, gliders and more, and there are also 1500 V-Bucks to unlock throughout the pass for you to spend in the item shop or on next season’s pass.
Those collabs are big news, but even bigger is the addition of three new game modes: Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival. This battle pass contains a page of Rocket Racing rewards, including a car body that you can use in both Rocket Racing and battle royale. And with the majority of Fortnite skins including a Lego counterpart, you can expect to be able to use these new battle pass skins in Lego Fortnite as well.
As is usually the case, the skins in this battle pass tell the story of the season, with Vengeance Jones and Hope going up against the rest of the folks on this pass, including buff Peter Griffin, to try to rescue Peely. Those other characters from the pass–Oscar, Nisha, Montague, Peter and Valeria–are NPC bosses you can fight during battle royale matches, and we’ve had few skins that can match the dapperness of this crew. There are new weapons and map changes, of course, too.
As has been the case for the past several full seasons, the battle pass rewards are broken up into four groups: the standard rewards from level 1 to 100, the bonus rewards from 101 to 200, the quest rewards for doing weekly quests, and the bonus skin which will become available in late January. Let’s take a look at everything we’ve got on the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass.
