Fortnite - What Is A Battle Pass?
A Battle Pass in Fortnite provides access to a season's worth of weekly challenges that you can complete in exchange for exclusive rewards. A season lasts 10 weeks, so that's quite a lot of bang for your buck.
Season 5 included a free Battle Pass option that provides you with three of the four Weekly Challenges. You'll now have to upgrade the Battle Pass to unlock the remaining four challenges.
To get your hands on an upgraded Battle Pass, you first have to buy (or earn) the appropriate number of V-Bucks, which is Fortnite's premium currency. The Battle Pass upgrade costs 950 V-Bucks right now, and 1,000 V-Bucks costs £7.99 / $9.99.
An upgraded Battle Pass only lasts for an entire season of Fortnite, so you will need to purchase another when the new season starts. The good news is that you can earn a total of 1,300 V-Bucks over the course of a season, provided you get to the max season level of 100. As long as you don't get tempted to spend them on consumable items, you can feasibly pay once and get enough V-Bucks each season to buy the next Battle Pass every single time.
Fortnite - How Does A Season Work?
A season of Fortnite lasts 10 weeks, and you have to earn a total of 100 Battle Pass tiers in order to get the maximum rewards. You start at tier one, and can increase in tier by completing challenges or levelling up to earn Battle Stars.
That's where the challenges come in. Complete one and you'll earn between five and 10 Battle Stars, and if you earn enough of them you'll increase in tier. You can also earn Battle Stars by increasing your season level, and by owning a Battle Pass you'll earn more XP anyway.
Get to tier 100 and the entire set of rewards is yours. This typically includes emotes, character skins, V-Bucks, XP boosts, sprays, loading screens, and harvesting tools.
Fortnite - What Are Drift & Road Trip Challenges?
The Drift & Road Trip Challenges replace the Carbide and Omega Challenges from Season 4 of Fortnite. Each of them provides cosmetic upgrades for the Drift and Ragnarok outfits respectively.
Drift Challenges
You earn Drift Challenge rewards by gaining various XP totals:
| XP | Reward |
|---|---|
| 10,000 | Chest Cosmetic |
| 25,000 | Chest Cosmetic |
| 50,000 | Head Cosmetic |
| 100,000 | Back Cosmetic |
| 200,000 | Back Cosmetic / Rift Edge Harvesting Tool |
Road Trip Challenges
You earn Road Trip Challenge rewards by completing all challenges from seven out of 10 of the seasonal Weekly Challenges. Beat all seven out of 10 and you unlock a further exclusive reward.
| Challenge | Reward |
|---|---|
| Complete all challenges from any week | Cosmetic Upgrade |
| Complete all challenges from any 2 different weeks | Cosmetic Upgrade |
| Complete all challenges from any 3 different weeks | Cosmetic Upgrade |
| Complete all challenges from any 4 different weeks | Cosmetic Upgrade |
| Complete all challenges from any 5 different weeks | Cosmetic Upgrade |
| Complete all challenges from any 6 different weeks | Cosmetic Upgrade |
| Complete all challenges from any 7 different weeks | Cosmetic Upgrade / Mystery Item |
Fortnite - Daily Challenges
Daily challenges change every 24 hours and provide you with three generally quick and easy challenges. Complete them and you'll get a nice chunk of XP and Battle Stars.

@FoxyGlen Any idea what the "lightning bolts" are? Also, don't forget that one daily/weekly challenge can be replaced every 24hr period. Might be helpful hint for some folks depending on what their play style strengths are
I'm excited to try out the new stuff this evening; I earned more than enough v bucks in the last 10 days to pay for a new pass (and reached tier 60), so I'm going for 100 this time. I love having challenges, it satisfies my hunger for an achievement system.
@HobbitGamer Thanks! Missed that bit - I'll include it in the guide.
As for the lightning bolts, hang fire for our full guide on that going up shortly.
Where the f is carear tab!!!!!!!
@Djgoa I’m fairly certain we’re ALL aware you would like a career stats feature. You’ve only mentioned it in every Fortnite article.
@HobbitGamer - I mean... He ain't wrong, though.

@DonSerrot Good stuff!
I decided to give the battle pass a shot, I like that they have these weekly challenges!
One thing that's unclear to me, Can I work on the weekly challenges when the following week comes out, or do I only have one week to try and finish them all?
@Wildvine53 You can complete them whenever in a season
Be aware though, some more remote challenges (like, "Kill 3 people in flush factory") can get hard as the weeks pass as less people go there.
Basically, try to do the challenges that week, but dont stress it.
I'm just glad they added gyro controls. This game is impressive for F2P.
@DonSerrot Thanks, dood!
@pbb76 okay cool! Thanks for the info. I’m Still getting the hang of the game, so I’m guessing these challenges will take me a little longer lol
For anyone struggling with the 'Eliminate Opponents in Xlocation' challenges, I'd suggest taking advantage of the Fly Explosion LTM now. It helped me along for the Haunted Hills from last week.
