Thanks to a leak, we now know some of the key Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass details. Read on to discover the Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass release date, the Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass price, and what to expect from this upcoming Season’s Battle Pass. There’s a solid amount to get through here, so stick with us.
Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass Release Date
Thanks to reliable Fortnite leaker Lucas7yoshi, we know of some key Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass details. This includes the Season 9 Battle Pass release date.
Fortnite Season 9 will begin once Season 8 ends. Season 8 is set to end on May 8, 2019. This means that the Season 9 Battle Pass for Fortnite will likely go live on May 8 or 9, 2019. Traditionally, Weekly challenges go live every Thursday, so it would make sense. Expect it to go live by the end of next week, certainly.
The Season 9 Battle Pass in Fortnite will end on July 24, 2019, if the leak is to be believed.
Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass Price
As per the leak from Lucas7yoshi, we also know how expensive the Season 9 Battle Pass will be in Fortnite. Fortunately, Epic Games has not put up the price of the Battle Pass. This means that when it does go live it should set you back 950 V-Bucks. It’ll set you back just under $9.99 to purchase the Season 9 Battle Pass.
During the duration of the Battle Pass, you will be able to earn in-game items and rewards worth up to the value of 3,500 V-Bucks. Whether it’s worth it is entirely up to you.
Fortnite Season 9 Battle Pass Rewards
Unfortunately, we know very little about the actual contents of the Season 9 Battle Pass. It’s a shame, too, that there doesn’t look like any way of earning the Battle Pass for free this time around (as you could for Season 8).
If you take a look back at previous Battle Passes, however, you will see that you can earn plenty of rewards for purchasing them. This includes access to Battle Pass challenges alongside the free set each week, new skins, items, and other cosmetics. All told, the complete Fortnite experience is always available for those who buy the Battle Pass.

Fortnite's 10 Game Changing Pickups
So, you're dropping into Tilted Towers and you need a game changer. Something that will ensure that your next match is memorable. Fortnite has had plenty of these types of items in its brief history, and here are the most devastating. See any of these on the field, and you better run. -
Crossbow
Originally themed for Valentines Day, the crossbow was a devastating sniper rifle even without its fancy skin. A high damage output even on Rare difficulty and five shots to a clip made it a sharpshooters dream, and eventually led to it being vaulted in May of 2018. -
Drum Gun
A hybrid of a Rifle and Machine Gun, the Drum Gun brought a 1920s flair to Junk Junction. It proved to be deadly accurate in the hands of players at close range, even after a round of significant nerfs. Two months after its initial debut, it was curtains for this Tommy. -
Guided Missile
The preferred tool of any rocket rider, the Guided Missile lets you root out camping opponents and sail into the skies of victory. A devastating and rare munition, the Guided Missile saw two tours of duty in the fields of Fortnite. As of now, it's still available to mess around with in Playground mode. -
Infinity Blade
Originating in Epic's hit trilogy of mobile games, this mythic sword only lasted for four days before being banished to the Vault. It powered up players and granted them extra health, creating an in-game boss fight. In the end, it did its job just a bit too well. -
Infinity Gauntlet
A purposefully limited time item, this Marvel Comics artifact turned its wielder into Thanos. His mighty punch, energy blast, and insane leaping ability made players quake in fear during his summer stint in the battle royale. Let's hope he finds other worlds to conquer for the sequel. -
Jetpack
Nothing changes a shooter quite like added mobility. Dodge out of sniper fire and root out towers of foes with the Jetpack, a limited time only Legendary backpack. Aeronauts with enough skill can negate any crafty builders and land the last few kills with pinpoint accuracy. -
Mounted Turret
A turret sequence in most shooters is a drag, but a well executed run with the Mounted Turret can be a thrill. This legendary trap is deployable anywhere there's a flat surface and spurts out infinite ammo as long as you mind the heat and don't take enough damage. -
Remote Explosives
It makes sense that a game partially about building would also have some C4 to even the odds, but the Remote Explosives were too much for their own good. Able to rip apart strategies at a distance and coming in bundles of three, most players don't miss these server bombs. -
Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle
Able to pick out enemies and loot with ease, the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle is the current best weapon if you're looking to charge an opposing team. Just be sure to account for its high recoil, lest you be staring into the sun as you take a fatal blow. -
Zapotron
One of the original vaulted weapons in Fortnite's battle royale mode, the Zapotron was an electrified sniper rifle that decimated groups of enemies from afar. It has a great design but doesn't really fit with the rest of the game's more authentic arsenal. Still, don't wear a lightning rod if we ever see this weapon again.
