In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Switch & Xbox One) the 5th season is starting soon. But what if you want to start now? Is it even worth it?
What are seasons? In the colorful battle royale game Fortnite, there are seasons. These are ten-week periods during which there are special tasks and achievements to earn. Additionally, all seasons have a theme that determines the rewards, challenges, and the story. The theme in season 4 was “Superheroes”.
Progress with the Battle Pass: Each season has its own battle pass. This is a sort of progress bar where you can earn points in the game. Mainly, victories and completed challenges give a lot of points in the pass. Every time you level up in the pass, there are new rewards, like skins and outfits.
The pass is free, but a premium version for 9.50 euros offers better rewards.
What’s so great about Season 5? 5 reasons why you should play now!
Fortnite: Battle Royale has been around for a while, and some interested players wonder: Is it still worth it? Aren’t the other players superior? But don’t worry, there are several reasons to start playing Fortnite right NOW!
There will be significant changes
Map changes are coming: Fortnite veterans know the map by heart and can easily find loot, hiding spots, and sniper spots. A newcomer has little chance. Fortunately, the map is constantly changing. Already in season 4, something was different every week.
In Season 5, according to Epic, “worlds will collide”. It is therefore extremely likely that Epic will bring even more changes in the upcoming season and possibly start a completely new map! And then all players would be on the same level.
Creative Mode as a Practice Course
No heart for noobs back then: Players previously had to learn their skills painstakingly and with a lot of sweat and tears in the game. How to build optimally, set traps, or calculate the bullet drop of sniper weapons correctly had to be learned through a lot of trial and error under combat conditions.
A place to train: This changed at the end of Season 4 when Creative Mode finally came as a new mode. There you can mess around for an hour or practice important tactics with your friends. Thanks to respawn and plenty of resources, it’s easy to do.
Creative Mode is expected to become a permanent feature in Season 5. You can therefore try it out at your leisure and test your skills for the real deal.
Season 5 is likely to be even more motivating
More content expected: So far, each season has been fuller and more motivating than the previous one. Season 4 even had exciting tasks until the end and motivated until the end with additional cosmetic options for skins like Omega. With the mysterious rifts, it even attracted players to the servers when most had actually already completed the battle pass.
Season 5 is likely to offer even more content than ever before. After all, Epic wants to keep its millions of players entertained. Additionally, the developers are putting a lot of energy into the game and learning from each season to draw conclusions. There should be more than enough to do and it should hardly be boring!
Additional game modes that are new for everyone!
More options: If you don’t feel like the regular battle royale matches, you might find several alternatives in Season 5. In Season 4, there were usually two new modes available at the same time. It’s quite possible that there will be even more options in the new season.
Game modes for every taste: Epic certainly won’t rest on its laurels and not bring new modes in Season 5. Instead, there should be several new variations of the game, some of which have already leaked. These include a nighttime mode or a game version where building is hardly allowed. Ideal for players who refuse to build, of which there are said to be quite a few in Fortnite.
In any case, more game modes promise more variety for new and returning players who are fed up with the regular gameplay.
Diverse theme in the Battle Pass
This time, anything is possible: The theme of Season 5 is not officially clear at the time of this article. However, everything indicates time travel and transitions between worlds. First teasers hint at the Wild West, Egypt, and Vikings.
Such a time travel theme would be optimal for the Battle Pass of Season 5. Because then there would be something for almost every taste: a cool cowboy for Western fans, an Egyptian queen for desert lovers, and a grim Viking for axe enthusiasts.
Perhaps even Fortnite versions of famous historical figures will appear as outfits. Then there could be duels between Genghis Khan, Cleopatra, or Abraham Lincoln. So if you collect quirky skins, Season 5 should bring you a lot of joy.
