Although
Fortnite's Battle Royale is completely free to play, there's a whole other PvE portion of the game known as
Save the World that technically launched before the competitive mode that has since taken over the planet. While the two modes are completely separate from one another, Epic is giving away two free Battle Royale outfits for anyone who owns the
Fortnite Founder's Pack.
Epic revealed today that all
Founder's Pack pack owners will receive the legendary Warpaint and Rose Team Leader Outfits for use in
Battle Royale. In a separate post on
Reddit, the developer confirmed these outfits will also come with exclusive Pursuit and Skirmish Back Bling.
Basically, to get the outfits in
Battle Royale you need to own
Save the World. And despite the phrasing of "Founder," you can
actually buy the pack right now. What's more, it's currently 50 percent off its regular price and costs only $19.99 ($39.99 normally). It also appears, based on Epic's phrasing, that there's no time limit for how long these will be available.
To thank you for your continued support, we’re dropping in two Legendary Founder’s Outfits that you’ll be able to equip in Battle Royale as part of our v5.1 release. These Outfits are exclusive to Save the World founders, both past and future. You’ll receive Warpaint and Rose Team Leader, along with exclusive Pursuit and Skirmish Back Bling!
The fact that they mention "future" would suggest that if you decide to purchase the Founder's Pack later on, you'll still get the outfits for free.
This free giveaway is part of Fortnite's first birthday celebration. Starting July 24 with tomorrow's v5.10 update, players will have challenges in Battle Royale and quests in Save the World that reward them with in-game cosmetic items. In terms of gameplay, tomorrow's update will also introduce a new Compact SMG and changes to Slurp Juice.
