These two weeks will include purchases involving actual money. It applies to the purchased V-bucks, subscriptions, gifted battles passes, and certain cosmetic packs.
Well, it’s a good effort, without a doubt, by both Epic and Microsoft.
In another news, Fortnite’s Season 2 is almost here now inside Chapter 3. And this time, it’s going to be a little ‘strange’; the Season 2 is titled Resistance. You can watch its story trailer below.
Resistance brings some crucial changes, like wiping off the building in the game, which has been an iconic aspect of the battle royale. So what do all the players do now?
Well, the solution is that now they have an additional shield named the ‘Overshield’ for defending themselves. They will also gain abilities to sprint and climb faster. Simply put, it will definitely remind some players of the parkour styles from the likes of Dying Light 2: Stay Human or the Ghostrunner.
Most importantly, Season 2 brings some of the most attractive, unlockable characters such as Marvel’s Doctor Strange. That was already rumored given the fact that he’s coming back in May with a sequel titled, Multiverse of Madness.
