Back bling is on the way for season 3.
Fortnite‘s Season 3 Battle Pass has been detailed, and it includes 76 items over 30 tiers, including ‘back bling’ – or fancy backpacks to you and me.
Epic posted the Battle Pass breakdown in anticipation of Season 2 coming to an end this week. You can buy new emotes, outfits, gliders, banners, and other cosmetic items for the in-game currency of 150 V-Bucks each, or you can unlock them the old-fashioned way, through gameplay.
Even though there are 30 more tiers than Season 2’s Battle Pass, it’ll still take the same amount of time to complete, which Epic says is between 75-150 hours.
You can get through the tiers even faster by completing the new weekly challenges, which will replace season 2’s daily challenges. Each week, seven challenges will unlock, with the added benefit being that they’ll stack, so grabbing the Battle Pass halfway through the season will unlock all of the weekly challenges to date.
Season 3’s Battle Pass introduces unlockable loading screens, skydiving FX trails, and the aforementioned back bling.
“Raptor’s backpack becomes an equippable item in your locker in 3.0,” tweeted Epic’s technical lead. “You can choose to use his backpack as your back bling or one of the other back blings from the battlepass or any other back bling from characters that you own. You can choose to go into battle without back bling.”
You can pick up the Battle Pass for 950 V-Bucks, which is around $10/ £7.99, or you can buy the new Battle Bundle which gets you the Battle Pass and 25 tiers (2800 V-Bucks), at a 40% discount.
Season 2 wraps up today, February 20 with Season 3 beginning immediately afterwards.
