In the coop and battle royale shooter Fortnite, it feels like Christmas. Both in the PvE part and in the PvP mode Battle Royale, there are new cosmetics with a Christmas look.
In Fortnite, the world is destroyed and plagued by a strange storm. Additionally, the former inhabitants roam around as strange zombie shells hunting the survivors. But at Christmas, not only the zombies don festive attire.
You can also obtain fun Christmas items in PvE and PvP.
PvE Event – “How to Survive the Holidays in Fortnite”
In the PvE mode “Save the World”, there is a new Christmas event. You will encounter familiar zombies wearing humorous pom-pom hats and red-and-white clothing. Furthermore, the fat zombie is now throwing exploding packages instead of gas canisters.
Additionally:
- Stronger versions of mini-bosses
- The game mode “Survive the Storm” now features a winter map and new enemies
- New mission alerts are available during the event
- You can earn snowflake tickets and exchange them for festive cosmetics in the shop. There are also new hero variants with a Christmas look.
- You can build a new sniper rifle as well as a snowball launcher. The launcher is also available in the battle royale mode.
Convenient: You can now access your inventory at any time without having to awkwardly start a mission each time.
PvP Event – Grind for cool cosmetics!
In the PvP mode Battle Royale, the second season is currently running. There’s also an item called Battle Pass that you can purchase in the shop for 950 V-Bucks (the real money currency). The pass gives you an immediate boost of cosmetic items. If you level up the pass with points earned in-game, new items will be available at each level. According to the developers, it takes between 75 and 150 hours to complete the pass.
For those who find the grind too tedious, you can spend additional V-Bucks to unlock levels immediately. However, these are only cosmetics. No one can buy a gameplay advantage. Additionally, there is a plethora of items available without the battle pass, including various new gliders.
The items from the battle pass are mostly themed around knights. So if you’ve always wanted to jump around in armor in the colorful battle royale mode, this event for the battle pass is the perfect opportunity. The event runs until February 20, 2018.
The new 50vs50 mode in Fortnite: Battle Royale offers pure chaos. But is it also fun?
