Fortnite has a big surprise for you this Valentine’s Day: Epic is giving away the Battle Pass for Season 8 to every player who completes the challenges.
The Battle Pass for Season 8 normally costs 10 euros, but now Epic Games is giving the pass away for free to every player.
What do you need to do? In order to receive the Battle Pass for free, you must complete 13 challenges. Anyone who successfully completes these challenges will get access to the Battle Pass for Season 8 for free.
This is how you get the Battle Pass for free
This is what Epic says: The developers want to thank the players for the enormous feedback on the “Love You” event and are therefore giving away the Battle Pass.
What can the Battle Pass do? There is also a Battle Pass in Fortnite for each season. The Battle Pass guarantees two free outfits. You can unlock 5 more skins throughout the season.
Additionally, with the Battle Pass, you can complete extra tasks each week. These are part of the weekly challenges.
How do I get the free Battle Pass? You need to solve 13 challenges to obtain it. These tasks start today, as the servers are back online. The new patch and the tasks are already live. We will provide you with a detailed guide to the tasks later.
Not all challenges are available in the game yet. Only 3 out of 20 challenges are in the game. However, the remaining tasks are likely to be introduced in phases.
You have this long: You can only receive the free pass within a certain timeframe. You have until February 27 to complete the challenges. After that, the chance for the free Battle Pass expires.
This is what the fans say
Fans are excited: On Reddit , many fans are thrilled about the free Battle Pass. As one user “jawryse” enthusiastically writes: “Epic Games are the best! The Battle Pass is free!”
Response to the competition: Other players suspect that this action is a response to the competitor Apex Legends, which is currently luring numerous Fortnite players away.
As one user writes: “They feel the pressure from Apex and are therefore offering the Battle Pass for free!”
Indeed, Epic must have been quite challenged lately to keep its player base engaged and not lose players to Apex. A free Battle Pass could bring many players back.
