Fortnite’s Chapter 7 opener doubles down on the “new chapter, big crossover” formula. This time the Battle Pass mixes Hollywood icons with original characters, reshuffles how you unlock pages, and quietly keeps the familiar 1,000 V-Bucks price and 1,500 V-Bucks payout.
Battle Pass price, platforms, and V-Bucks
The Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass follows Fortnite’s standard model:
- Price: 1,000 V-Bucks.
- Included with Fortnite Crew: If you subscribe to Fortnite Crew (directly in-game or through platform stores), the seasonal Battle Pass is part of the subscription at no extra cost.
- Total V-Bucks in the pass: 1,500 V-Bucks obtainable through its reward track.
That means fully completing the pass still refunds more V-Bucks than it costs, enough to buy the next Battle Pass if you don’t spend them elsewhere.
All Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass skins
The pass carries eight main outfits. Two of them are headline film characters and six are Fortnite originals.
Licensed crossover skins
- Beatrix “The Bride” Kiddo (Kill Bill) – The Bride is the instant unlock skin. As soon as you purchase the Battle Pass or receive it via Fortnite Crew, she’s available in your locker.
- Marty McFly (Back to the Future) – Marty sits in the core Battle Pass lineup with multiple styles expected. He’s unlocked through Battle Stars on one of the main pages rather than as a late-season secret.
Both crossover outfits are structured as standard Battle Pass skins rather than time‑gated bonus rewards. They are obtainable from day one of the season.
Original Fortnite characters
- Carina – A blue‑haired skater with a cast on her right wrist. She’s framed as one of the standout human characters this season.
- Three additional human skins – The pass includes three more “regular” humans alongside Carina, giving the season a fairly grounded cast despite the heavy collab presence.
- Kingston – A laid‑back lion man, leaning into Fortnite’s anthropomorphic trend with a more relaxed vibe than earlier animal skins.
- New Eternal Voyager variant – A fresh spin on the classic Eternal Voyager, presented as being connected to The Seven. This is the lore‑anchored outfit of the set.
Dark Voyager acts as the pass’s capstone skin. It’s the final outfit on the reward track, unlocked after clearing the other pages.
How the new Battle Pass unlock system works
Chapter 7 Season 1 keeps the Battle Star structure but changes how you move through the pages.
- The Bride is automatic: Buying the Battle Pass grants her immediately; there’s no page or level requirement.
- Dark Voyager is last: This outfit is still at the end of the track, functioning as the season’s “final” reward.
- Other skins are non‑linear: The remaining six outfits can be earned in any order. You’re not locked into a strict page progression where one skin must be unlocked before seeing the next.
- No mid‑season secret skin: Chapter 7 drops the pattern where a mystery collab skin unlocked halfway through the season via separate quests. All eight outfits are available from day one.
In practice this means you can prioritize your favorites. If you want Marty McFly and Kingston before touching anything else, you can funnel your Battle Stars into their pages as soon as they’re available, then come back for the rest.
Level requirements and bonus rewards
Epic hasn’t changed the high‑level structure that’s been in place recently: finishing the “core” Battle Pass still happens around level 100, while the complete reward set extends further out via bonus pages and super styles.
From the most recent seasons with the same underlying system:
- Level ~100 – Finish the main 100‑tier reward track (all core skins, pickaxes, gliders, emotes, and the bulk of the 1,500 V-Bucks).
- Levels 100–200 – Work through bonus reward pages. In Chapter 6 Season 1, these followed a predictable cadence of roughly two levels per bonus reward, and fully clearing them required hitting level 200.
- Super styles – Super level styles for select skins also slotted into this 100–200 range. In Chapter 6 Season 1, collecting everything before super styles was achievable by around level 200, with intermediate thresholds (such as level 170) for specific variant skins.
The Chapter 7 Battle Pass uses the same bonus‑page philosophy: expect the core track to be done at 100 and the extended cosmetic set to run out toward level 200, with roughly two levels unlocking each extra reward. If you typically end a season in the 150–180 band, you should still reach most of the premium items, but maxing everything will demand a grind toward 200.
Other Battle Pass rewards: emotes, gear, and V-Bucks
Alongside the eight outfits, the Battle Pass includes the usual Fortnite cosmetic mix:
- Emotes and emote poses themed around the Pacific Break chapter and its collabs.
- Pickaxes for each major outfit, plus a few extra tools that lean into the West Coast / Hollywood aesthetic.
- Back Blings tied to the film heroes and original characters.
- Loading screens, sprays, banners, and wraps that fill in lore for the new island and The Seven’s return.
- 1,500 V-Bucks spread across the main and bonus pages.
On top of the Battle Pass, Chapter 7 also offers extra cosmetics through other tracks:
- Two free Kill Bill skins: Yuki Yubari and Gogo Yubari are available at no cost. Yuki can be claimed simply by logging in before December 1.
- Fortnite Festival Season 12 Pass: This separate music‑mode pass launches alongside Chapter 7 and features LISA as its headliner with Jam Tracks and instrument cosmetics.
How to buy the Battle Pass
You can grab the Chapter 7 Season 1 Battle Pass in two ways.
Option 1: Buy with V-Bucks
Step 1: Launch Fortnite and go to the Battle Pass tab on the main menu. The current chapter and season will be displayed at the top.
Step 2: Select the standard Battle Pass purchase option (1,000 V-Bucks). Confirm the transaction; your account must already have enough V-Bucks loaded from a previous purchase or earned via prior passes.
Step 3: Once the transaction completes, Beatrix “The Bride” Kiddo unlocks instantly and the rest of the rewards become available to earn with Battle Stars.
Option 2: Subscribe to Fortnite Crew
Step 1: From the lobby, open the Fortnite Crew tile (usually near the Battle Pass or Item Shop tabs).
Step 2: Follow the subscription flow through your platform store or Epic account, shown inside the client. Fortnite Crew automatically grants the current Battle Pass as long as your subscription is active.
Step 3: After subscribing, return to the Battle Pass tab. The chapter’s pass should be marked as owned, with The Bride already in your locker.
Note: Fortnite Crew also includes a monthly Crew Pack outfit and a recurring V-Bucks stipend on top of the Battle Pass access.
Best way to progress the Battle Pass quickly
Reaching level 100 for the main rewards is usually straightforward if you play regularly; pushing deep into the bonus pages is where the grind starts to bite. Chapter 6 Season 1 made that clear, with players reporting a slow leveling curve and needing to climb all the way to level 200 to sweep every bonus reward.
Several patterns consistently help:
- Finish weekly quests: These remain the fastest non‑exploit source of XP over the season’s full length.
- Knock out daily quests: Even casual play that clears the three rotating dailies adds up over a month‑plus season.
- Mix Battle Royale with high‑XP modes: Players often rotate between standard BR, LEGO Fortnite, and high‑XP creative maps (when they’re not engagement bait), using them to “top off” levels after a BR session.
- Aim for level milestones: Planning around 100 (full core pass), ~150 (a healthy chunk of bonus pages), and 200 (everything, including super styles) makes progress less abstract.
Some players in Chapter 6 Season 1 pushed past level 300 by combining regular matches with AFK‑leaning creative experiences like Brick Life, but that level of grind isn’t required unless you want every super style plus substantial over‑level flex.
Chapter 7 Season 1’s Battle Pass is built to be front‑loaded: all eight skins are on the table from day one, with The Bride unlocked the moment you buy in and Dark Voyager waiting at the far end. If you can comfortably reach level 100 and put time into quests beyond that, you’ll walk away with the film icons, the full original cast, and most of the cosmetic extras the season has to offer.
