TO THE VICTORS BELONG THE SPOILS

Successfully complete a Fortnite Battle Royale match and you will be awarded with not exactly fame, fortune or eternal glory. Rather, you are awarded with an umbrella. Yes, you read that right. Winning a match in Fortnite Battle Royale gives you an umbrella which would replace your glider the next time you jump out of a giant flying bus.

In addition, you also get XP which you can use to level up your character. This levelling up in turn means you have the ability to customize the visual appearance of your character as well.

You also have access to what is called a Battle Pass. This is a way that players in Fortnite Battle Royale gain access to exclusive challenges and in-game rewards. Each player will have their own battle pass at the beginning of every season of Battle Royale. Points or Battle Stars are earned by leveling their Profile Rank and completing Daily Challenges. The stars can then be used to unlock Tiers in the Battle Pass. These tiers have free and premium rewards.

A player will receive a free reward listed under a Battle Pass Tier once they have unlocked it. On the other hand, premium rewards on each Battle Pass Tier can only be acquired by purchasing Battle Pass Premium, which in turn has to be purchased V-bucks. This obviously means that there is a certain level of micro transactions required, and not directly with real currency.

Each battle pass is also only valid for the current season. So if you have a Battle pass for season 3, you will have to purchase another battle pass for the next season. Conversely, buying Battle Pass Premium for Season 4 will not grant any Premium items from Season 3, regardless of the number of Tiers you unlocked in that earlier Season.
