Fortnite Season 10 Changes How Challenges Work, And Free Players Have Less To Do - GameSpot

The start of a new season in Fortnite inevitably brings with it a number of new features and tweaks to the way the popular battle royale title plays. However, the newly launched Season 10, has one of the most significant changes the game has received in quite some time. Developer Epic Games has done away with Weekly Challenges and, in turn, made playing the game without spending money on a premium Battle Pass far less rewarding.

Previously, players could load up Fortnite and see a set of Daily Challenges alongside a set of Weekly Challenges. The Weekly Challenges would have a set of challenges that could be completed by anyone playing the game and another set that was only available to those that purchased a Battle Pass.

Now, however, the Daily Challenges have been replaced by Limited Time Missions. Epic Games has explained in a statement that these Limited Time Missions "are free for all players" and "by completing objectives, players can earn rewards.

"As part of the Limited Time Mission, a new objective will unlock daily at 9AM ET. Players will have a week to complete these objectives. They will then be replaced by a new set of Limited Time Mission objectives."

All players will now have 70 unique objectives to undertake and complete over the course of the Season 10. Additionally, free events will be introduced throughout the season along with additional rewards.

employee said these missions will release at 9 AM ET and "will count for all past challenges requiring dallies and will not require the Battle Pass." Weekly Challenges, meanwhile, have been morphed into themed sets.

Currently, there's the Rumble Royale and Road Trip Mission sets available and, in both cases, the challenges that are included in them are locked entirely behind a Battle Pass. This is a huge change as it effectively locks out Fortnite players that don't spend money on a Battle Pass from a huge part of the game that they've become accustomed to engaging with.

While a free silver tier of the Battle Pass still exists and there are unlockable rewards attached to them, the rewards aren't nearly as exciting as those available to Battle Pass owners. And unlocking them is done primarily through simply playing the Battle Royale mode to score kills and earn Victory Royales. You can take a look at the difference between challenge availability with and without a Battle Pass above.

Those that purchased the Breakpoint bundle, which includes Daily Challenges that must be completed to earn its rewards, are now finding that the challenges are not available, halting their progress entirely.

Fortnite is a game that is continuously evolving, so it may be that the way challenges work changes in the coming weeks and, similarly, more to do is introduced for those without the premium Battle Pass. GameSpot has contacted Epic for further insight on why these changes were made and if players can expect more free-focused content in the future.
