Summary
- Features 8 battle pass skins including iconic movie characters Marty McFly and The Bride from Kill Bill.
- Introduces a new reward system where players can choose which skin sets you want to unlock after level 5.
- You can access all skins for 1,000 V-Bucks and earn from day one with no time-gated content.
Fortnite brings Hollywood glamour to Chapter 7 Season 1, introducing the “Battlewood” theme. This season delivers major entertainment collaborations alongside original character designs and premium rewards.
A Revolutionary New Battle Pass System
Unlike the previous Fortnite battle passes, you’ll now have the freedom to choose how your progression goes. Before, you have to unlock the rewards by sequence due to its tiered progression. Now, after you reach level five, you can now select which reward set you want to pursue.
This way you can choose which skins and cosmetics to prioritize. Also, the system requires you to fully complete one set before you can move to another. Each set unlocks after you reach level 20, so you’ll likely unlock a new set every 15 levels. So you are no longer required to grind through the content.
All Eight Battle Pass Skins
The upcoming Season 1 Battle Pass includes eight unique character skins with multiple styles available to unlock. However, the standouts for the season are Kill Bill’s The Bride and Back to the Future’s Marty McFly. This gives players iconic movie heroes to play during the battle royale matches.
On the other hand, original characters include Cat Holloway with four different styles including Silver Screen Cat and Media Blitz Cat. Kingston starred with its unique lion-man design with styles like Director’s Pride Kingston and Slap Surfer Kingston. Meanwhile, Carter Wu provides martial arts design with styles including The Black Dragon and Stunt King Carter.
Carina also joins Battle Pass with its blue hair and distinct cast on her wrist in Mystery Hunter and Punky Parkour variants. Another is Miles Cross with his Superstar Miles Cross style and lastly, a reimagined version of classic Eternal Voyager skin with Dark Voyager.
How to Unlock Each Skin
To unlock each battle pass skins, you’ll need to purchase first the pass for 1,000 V-Bucks. Then, you have to earn experience points throughout the season. Among the skins, you can immediately use The Bride skin upon your purchase.
Each subsequent skin requires you to claim all rewards on the first page. Additionally, completing the second page of rewards in their sets lets you unlock more styles for each character. However, some special styles are tied specifically to game modes such as the following:
-
- Media Blitz Cat: Unlocks through the Blitz Royale quests
- The Black Dragon: Requires you to complete Fortnite Reload challenges.
These mode-specific quests will only become available on December 4, 2025 at 9AM EST. Plus, you can get bonus style rewards if you complete the entire battle pass. All characters featured in the Battle Pass have exclusive styles you can claim with the final major unlock at level 85.
Additional Rewards and Value
Other than the eight character skins and styles, it will also distribute 1,500 V-Bucks throughout its tiers. This way, dedicated players can earn back more than they spent. Those who purchase Fortnite Crew subscriptions or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, automatically obtain a pass.
Also, Chapter 7 Season 1 eliminates the time-gated bonus skins which are unlockable midway through a season way back. You can now earn all eight skins and styles from the first day, giving you control over the progression. Plus, this ensures that no one misses out on content due to real-world scheduling conflicts.
Beyond the skins, additional cosmetics are in the bundles as well like pickaxes, back bling, emotes, and more. All these will feature a Battlewood concept, complementing the current outfits for each character.
Conclusion
The Hollywood vibe is on for Epic Games’ Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass. It featured a star-studded lineup across their skin collaborations from iconic movie characters like Back in the Future and Kill Bill. Unlike the previous releases, you can instantly get all these skins and use in-match, skipping tiered progression.
