Epic Games has revealed the premium battle pass for Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4, and it features a variety of original characters plus Spider-Gwen from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. With each new season of Fortnite, an entirely new battle pass is released featuring up to 200 tiers of unlockable rewards. Season 4 of Fortnite is no different. Dozens of new unlocks including skins, emotes, pickaxes, and more are now available to earn by gaining experience in the battle royale.
Like how Season 3's biggest reward was Darth Vader, Fortnite's latest season has made Spider-Gwen its crown jewel. In order to unlock Spider-Gwen, Fortnite players will need to reach level 100. Even that won't fully unlock Spider-Gwen, however. In order to earn Spider-Gwen's maskless style, players will have to delve into Fortnite's bonus battle pass unlocks. Level 123 should be enough. It's possible another Spider-Gwen unlock will be available later in the bonus levels of the battle pass, but they have yet to be revealed.
Other than Spider-Gwen, Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 has six other skins that can be unlocked in this season's battle pass. The first skin, and a major focus for this season's battle pass, is Paradigm, who now bears the face of actor Brie Larson. After Paradigm, there's the chrome-handed Byte, bear-in-a-bear Grriz, Meowcles' sister Meow Skulls, cell-shaded Lennox Rose, as well as Twyn and their alter ego.
To clarify, these skins are all a part of the Fortnite premium battle pass, but there is a free battle pass as well. The rewards in Fortnite's free Season 4 battle pass are significantly less impressive and feature no skins. Instead, there are some gliders, backpacks, weapon skins, and some V-Bucks.
Those hoping for a quick start to Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 can capitalize on some goodwill from Epic Games right now. There's a special Kickstart quest series to start the season with tasks including "Eliminate Opponents" and "Play Matches." Each of these quests reward 35k experience, which should make for a quick 5-10 levels. There are still daily and weekly quests to complete, too, but no story quests just yet.
Reception to Season 4's battle pass has been typically negative within the Fortnite community. It's very common for players to let out their frustrations about Fortnite's monetization around the reveal of each new battle pass. And, in all fairness, Epic isn't trying anything new with Chapter 3 Season 4's battle pass. It is arguably still the gold standard for battle passes in the gaming industry, though.
Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices.
