Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2: Mortal Kombat Crossover Launches Feb 21

Epic Games has just unveiled the exciting new Battle Pass skins for Fortnite's upcoming season, and fans are buzzing with anticipation. This season, dubbed "Wanted," dives straight into a thrilling heist theme without the usual codename, featuring gun-toting villains, gold-filled vans, and explosive bank vaults—everything you'd expect from a high-stakes robbery.

Mark your calendars: the season kicks off on February 21 and promises a dynamic collaboration with the iconic fighting franchise, Mortal Kombat. The chilling Sub-Zero will make an appearance in the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the season's heist vibe with his icy demeanor.

This collaboration is timed perfectly with the promotion of the upcoming film, Mortal Kombat 2, featuring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana. Fans of both franchises are in for a treat.

Skins for this season will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium currency. Each character will cost the standard 1,500 V-Bucks, so no surprises on the pricing front.

Returning weapons include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret, but the full arsenal remains a mystery for now. Speculation is rife among players, with many hoping to see the return of favorites from the last heist-themed season, Chapter 4 Season 4. Rumored comebacks include the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, though these are just whispers at this point.

One of the most eagerly awaited features of the new season is Smart Building. This innovative mechanic predicts the structure you need based on your aim direction, promising to revolutionize gameplay and construction strategies.

In line with the heist theme, the gameplay mechanic for accessing vaults has been revamped. Players will now use Meltanite—Fortnite's equivalent of thermite—to breach vaults and secure their rewards, adding a thrilling new layer to the game's dynamics.
