Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 Debuts Feb 21 with Mortal Kombat Crossover

Epic Games has officially unveiled the new Battle Pass skins for Fortnite's upcoming season, which promises to be an action-packed adventure centered around heists. Dubbed "Wanted," this season skips the traditional codename and dives straight into its high-octane theme, featuring gun-toting villains, gold-laden vans, and explosive bank vaults—all the elements you'd expect from a thrilling robbery.

Mark your calendars for February 21, as this is when the excitement kicks off. Adding to the thrill, Fortnite is collaborating with the iconic fighting game series Mortal Kombat. Fans can look forward to Sub-Zero joining the Battle Pass, with the season's heist theme influencing the design of the skins. This partnership coincides with the promotion of the upcoming film Mortal Kombat 2, featuring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana.

Players can purchase the new skins using V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium currency, with each character priced at 1,500 V-Bucks, consistent with previous offerings.

Confirmed returning items for the season include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret, though other weapons remain unconfirmed. Speculation among the community points towards the possible return of items from the previous heist-themed season, Chapter 4 Season 4, such as the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and the Grappler. However, these are just rumors at this point.

A highly anticipated feature for this season is Smart Building, which will revolutionize construction by predicting the structures you need based on your aim direction. Additionally, the season introduces a revamped gameplay mechanic, replacing keycards with vault breaches. Players will use Meltanite, Fortnite's equivalent of thermite, to crack open vaults and secure their rewards.
