With the launch of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, the battle royale experience has been completely reimagined. The latest update introduces a ton of new features, but the star of the show is undoubtedly the revamped Battle Pass. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about skins anymore. This time, the pass is loaded with cinematic collaborations, original characters, and a flexible unlock system that gives players more control than ever before. Priced at the usual 1,000 V-Bucks (or available through the Fortnite Crew subscription), the Battle Pass lets you earn up to 1,500 V-Bucks as you progress through the season’s rewards. The entire season embraces a Hollywood/West Coast vibe, with the island now dubbed 'Golden Coast' and packed with California-inspired points of interest (POIs).
How to Unlock All New Skins in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1
The Chapter 7 Battle Pass is a departure from the standard format, offering a mix of iconic collaborations and original designs. Here’s a breakdown of the standout skins and how to unlock them:
- The Bride: Instantly unlock this iconic character from Kill Bill as soon as you purchase the Battle Pass. A must-have for fans of cinematic flair.
- Marty McFly: The time-traveling legend from Back to the Future is part of the Page 11 rewards. A nostalgic addition that’s sure to turn heads.
- Cat Holloway: Unlockable on Page 3, this original character brings a fresh look to the battlefield.
- Kingston: Available on Page 5, Kingston adds a unique style to your roster.
- Carter Wu: Find this character on Page 7, offering a distinct aesthetic for players.
- Carina: Unlock Carina on Page 9, another original skin with a standout design.
- Miles Cross: Available on Page 13, Miles Cross brings a mysterious vibe to the game.
- Dark Voyager (Reality Redacted): The final major unlock, found on Page 15, is a reimagined classic that’s sure to impress.
But here’s the twist: unlike previous Battle Passes, Chapter 7 lets you choose the order in which you unlock the skins across the central pages. This flexibility means you can prioritize the skins you want most, giving you more control over your progression. However, this change has sparked debate among players—some love the freedom, while others miss the linear unlock system. What’s your take? Let us know in the comments.
Beyond the Skins: What Else is in the Battle Pass?
The Chapter 7 Battle Pass isn’t just about skins. It includes over 100 items, such as:
- Up to 1,500 V-Bucks to spend on future purchases.
- Gliders like Kiddo's Moto Glider and Peely Surfer Glider, perfect for making a stylish entrance.
- Emotes including Peril Pinatas and the Hoverboard Emote, adding fun to your gameplay.
- Jam Tracks for Fortnite Festival, such as 'Lights, Camera, Action,' to keep the vibes going.
- Bonus skins unlocked by completing quests in Battle Royale, Reload, and Blitz modes.
