Season 9 Battle Pass

Recommended Videos

It should come as no surprise that Season 9 brings with it a new Battle Pass. The latest is packed with different challenges to tick off, which earn players all sorts of cool new cosmetic rewards.

Immediately after purchasing the new Battle Pass, you’ll unlock two new skins: Sentinel, and Rox. These Tier 1 skins have different versions as you accumulate XP. The other new cosmetics are as follows:

  • Bunker Jonesy (Tier 23)
  • Vega (Tier 47)
  • Stratus (Tier 71)
  • Demi (Tier 87)
  • Sentinal Dark (Tier 99)
  • Vendetta (Tier 100)

The full list of what’s included in the Battle Pass is listed below:

Premium

  • Rox progressive skin
  • Sentinel skin
  • Bunker Jonesy skin
  • Sentinel wrap
  • Ripe Rippers harvesting tool
  • Turbo Spin glider
  • Ripe wrap
  • 300 V-Bucks
  • 1 Music Track
  • 70% Bonus Season Match XP
  • 20% Bonus Season Friend Match XP

Standard

  • Two outfits
  • 50% personal match XP boost
  • 60% friend match XP boost
  • Access to more Challenges

Perhaps the most notable new addition that comes with the Season 9 Battle Pass are Fortbytes. These collectible items form the backbone of the entire Pass and are involved in most challenges.

Fortbytes are a set of 100 computer chips dotted across Fortnite’s map for those that own the Battle Pass. As you find and unlock these items, you’ll begin to decrypt a locked image, which slowly reveals secrets about Season 9’s story as you go.

As of right now, there are 18 to find, and each is unlocked differently. For example, some simply require you to earn a certain amount of XP, while others unlock after visiting a certain area of the map wearing a specific skin.
