Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 1 battle pass

The first battle pass in Fortnite's new era features two long-awaited characters: Marvel's Spider-Man and Epic's original hero The Foundation, who is voiced by and modeled after The Rock. Spidey comes with three total styles including his black symbiote suit and his white Future Foundation get-up. Six more heroes we've yet to meet await us as well, and we'll dive into their backstories as soon as we can.

You'll be able to earn the eight heroes and all of their related cosmetics by completing another 100 tiers of the battle pass, which for the third season in a row will feature the Battle Stars system, allowing to you choose the order in which you unlock some items. There will also be specific quests for battle pass characters, and completing them will grant you additional cosmetics.
