Epic Games has unveiled the thrilling new Battle Pass skins for Fortnite's next season: Wanted. Forgoing the usual codename, this season dives headfirst into a heist-themed adventure, complete with gun-toting villains, gold-filled getaway vans, and explosive bank vaults.

Kicking off February 21st, Wanted features an exciting collaboration with the iconic Mortal Kombat franchise. Sub-Zero himself joins the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the season's thrilling robbery theme. This collaboration cleverly ties into the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 film, starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana.
Battle Pass skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks—no price changes from previous seasons.

Returning favorites include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain a mystery, speculation runs wild amongst players. Recalling Chapter 4 Season 4's heist theme, many anticipate the return of the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler. However, these are currently unconfirmed rumors.
A highly anticipated addition is Smart Building, a game-changing mechanic that predicts your building needs based on your aiming direction. The heist theme also introduces a revamped gameplay mechanic, replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will need Meltanite, Fortnite's thermite equivalent, to crack open these vaults and claim their rewards.
