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, featuring gun-toting villains, gold-filled vans, and explosive bank vaults—everything you'd expect from a high-stakes robbery.

Set to kick off on February 21, "Wanted" will not only dive deep into the world of heists but also 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 specially designed skins.
This collaboration coincides with the buzz around the upcoming film, Mortal Kombat 2, which will star Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana. As always, the new skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium currency, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks, maintaining the usual pricing structure.

Returning weapons for the season include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain unconfirmed, fans are speculating about the possible return of favorites from the last heist-themed season, Chapter 4 Season 4. Rumors suggest that the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler might make a comeback.
One of the most anticipated features of the new season is Smart Building, an innovative mechanic that predicts the structure you need based on your aim direction, enhancing the strategic aspect of the game.
In line with the heist theme, a revamped gameplay mechanic will replace keycards with vault breaches. Players will use Meltanite, Fortnite's version of thermite, to crack open vaults and claim their rewards, adding a new layer of excitement and challenge to the gameplay.
