Summary
- Fortnite is considering allowing certain battle pass items to be purchasable in the shop after 18 months or more from their expiration.
- Outfits, emotes, pickaxes, and more from previous battle passes could potentially return to the item shop with alternate styles available.
- This change won't affect the price of the battle pass, which remains at 950 V-Bucks, with the opportunity to earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks by leveling up.
Fortnite is making a huge change when it comes to items acquired in the battle pass. Fortnite has historically never allowed battle pass items to be obtainable after they expire, but many fans have been asking for a way to obtain items they never had the chance to get.
Fortnite is well known for its huge crossovers with major IPs such as Marvel, DC, Fallout, Star Wars, and more. Some of these collaborations contain content that is only available in the battle pass, which expires at the end of a season. Once the battle pass is gone, items like the power armor from Fallout are no longer available for players to acquire.
Fortnite Leaks 3 New X-Men Skins
A new leak suggests that a trio of popular X-Men characters are going to be added to Fortnite as playable skins at some point in the future.
All of that may change after Epic Games that certain battle pass items may be offered in the shop after 18 months or more from their battle pass’ expiration. The blog post specifically mentions letting players enjoy outfits based on licensed properties. Meaning that skins like the battle pass exclusive Darth Vader may make their return in the item shop in the future.
Fortnite May Release Certain Battle Pass Items Again in the Shop
Outfits, emotes, pickaxes, instruments, wraps, loading screens, jam tracks, and more from previous battle passes are all eligible to be in the item shop at a later date. However, there is no guarantee that any particular battle pass item will come to the shop after this change comes into practice. It’s important to note that some collaborations don’t always have all their items restricted to the battle pass. Such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collab, which has all four turtles rotating in the item shop.
The items that will be available for purchase again may also have their alternate styles available, which are usually minor changes a player can make to a particular skin. Items in other tabs tied to the battle pass, such as bonus rewards and quest rewards like the Chapter 5 Season 3 Magneto skin, will also have a chance to become purchasable in the item shop 18 months or more in the future. This won’t make the price of the battle pass change, with it still only costing 950 V-Bucks. Players who buy the battle pass have the ability to earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks by leveling it up.
All skins that have a LEGO style will be included in their purchase. These are used within the LEGO Fortnite game mode, which is mainly a survival-based game. Fortnite has released other games in the LEGO style recently, like a flying course and different adventure maps.
