Scheduled to kick off on February 21, the "Wanted" season will feature a remarkable collaboration with the iconic fighting game series, Mortal Kombat. Fans can look forward to Sub-Zero joining the Battle Pass, enhancing the heist theme with his chilling presence. This collaboration ties in with the buzz around the upcoming film, Mortal Kombat 2, starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage and Adeline Rudolph as Kitana.

Players can acquire these new skins using V-Bucks, Fortnite's premium currency, with each character available for 1,500 V-Bucks. No changes in pricing here, keeping the excitement accessible for all.

Returning weapons for the season include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain unconfirmed, speculation abounds among the community. Rumors suggest the possible return of favorites like the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, echoing the excitement of the previous heist-themed season, Chapter 4 Season 4.

A standout feature of the "Wanted" season is the introduction of Smart Building. This innovative mechanic predicts the structure you need based on your aiming direction, promising to enhance your strategic gameplay.

Adding to the heist theme, the season introduces a revamped gameplay mechanic. Instead of keycards, players will now use Meltanite, Fortnite's equivalent to thermite, to breach vaults and secure their rewards. This change promises to add a new layer of strategy and excitement to the game.
