Get ready for high-stakes robberies! The season will also include a crossover with the Mortal Kombat franchise, bringing Sub-Zero into the Battle Pass, perfectly complementing the heist theme. This collaboration coincides with the marketing push for the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2 movie.

Skins will be available for purchase using V-Bucks, priced at 1,500 V-Bucks each.

Returning weapons include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. Speculation is rife about the potential return of other fan favorites from previous heist-themed seasons, such as the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler, though these are currently unconfirmed.

A significant gameplay addition is Smart Building, a feature that anticipates your building needs based on your aiming direction. The heist theme extends to gameplay mechanics, replacing keycards with vault breaches that require Meltanite (Fortnite's equivalent of thermite) to access the loot within.
