Epic Games has just unveiled the exciting new Battle Pass skins for the upcoming season of Fortnite, titled "Wanted." This season promises a thrilling heist experience, complete with gun-toting villains, gold-laden vans, and explosive bank vaults—everything you'd expect from a high-stakes robbery.

Set to launch on February 21, the "Wanted" season will feature a unique collaboration with the iconic fighting franchise, Mortal Kombat. Fans can look forward to Sub-Zero joining the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the season's heist theme through the skins.
This collaboration is strategically timed to coincide with the promotion of the upcoming film, Mortal Kombat 2, which stars Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana. As with previous seasons, these skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium currency, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks, maintaining the standard pricing.

Returning weapons confirmed for this season include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain unconfirmed, speculation abounds among players, reminiscing about the previous heist-themed season (Chapter 4 Season 4). Rumors suggest potential returns of the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, though these remain unverified.
A highly anticipated feature this season is Smart Building, which intelligently predicts the structure you need based on your aim direction, enhancing the gameplay experience.
The heist theme also introduces a revamped gameplay mechanic, replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will now use Meltanite, Fortnite's thermite equivalent, to crack open vaults and claim their rewards, adding a new layer of strategy to the game.
