Each Fortnite season introduces alterations to the map and fresh weapons to explore, but the highlight is invariably the new Battle Pass. This season is no exception, with the Battle Pass skins embodying the jungle-like ‘WILDS’ theme.
The most notable feature of this Battle Pass is the inclusion of the legendary Transformers character, Optimus Prime, marking this season’s significant crossover. However, there are also plenty of unique skins to uncover, such as a new iteration of the popular character, Meowscles, now known as Purradise Meowscles.
For those contemplating whether to invest in the Battle Pass this season, here’s a rundown of all the new skins included:
- Era
- Trace
- Rian
- Relik
- Mariposa
- Lorenzo
- Optimus Prime
- Purradise Meowscles
The Era skin will be instantly available upon purchasing the Battle Pass, while the remaining skins will be unlocked as you progress through each page of rewards.
Purradise Meowscles, this season’s ‘Secret Skin’, will be available to unlock halfway through the season by completing a series of themed quests.
