Have been getting tired of the game as of late, but this sounds pretty damn cool. Will definitely be tinkering with it sometime tomorrow provided Smash isn't delivered early.

Fortnite season 8 battle pass will be given away free. Just complete a new set of in-game challenges.

In an unprecedented move, Fortnite will give away its next monthly battle pass for free as a reward for completing a fresh set of challenges.

Fortnite season eight is still two weeks away - despite season seven's regular 10-week challenge period now being up. To plug the gap, Epic has cooked up a round of free "Overtime Challenges" which go live from today's patch 7.40.

Complete 13 of these Overtime Challenges and you'll get season eight's battle pass without charge.

The offer is a genuinely surprising decision on Epic's part - to draw people back into Fortnite now during its off-season and, by granting them a free battle pass, coax them into staying locked to Fortnite for the next couple of months.

It's hard to not think about the release of rival battle royale Apex Legends and its subsequent success as a big factor in this.

What do you mean by achievement? The B.R.U.T.E missions timed out earlier today but the final reward for that was 2,000 season XP.
