Launching February 21st, the season will include a thrilling collaboration with Mortal Kombat. Sub-Zero, the iconic Mortal Kombat character, will be a featured Battle Pass skin, perfectly complementing the heist theme.
This collaboration coincides with the marketing campaign for Mortal Kombat 2, the upcoming film starring Karl Urban and Adeline Rudolph.
Skins will be priced at 1,500 V-Bucks each.

Returning weapons include the Flare Gun, C4, and the Diplomat turret. While other weapons remain unannounced, speculation based on Chapter 4 Season 4 (also heist-themed) suggests potential returns for the EMP Grenade, classic SMGs, the Tommy Gun, and even the Grappler. These are currently unconfirmed.
A noteworthy addition is the Smart Building mechanic, which anticipates player building needs based on aiming direction. The heist theme extends to gameplay, replacing keycards with vault breaches requiring Meltanite (a Fortnite thermite equivalent) to access rewards.
