Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2
Resumen de la temporada
Rivalry and Factions
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2, titled "Showdown," launched on March 19, 2026. This narrative-focused season centered on a massive faction war between The Foundation and the Ice King, with their forces taking over various parts of the map. A major gameplay addition was the Rivalry system, where players could approach Rivalry Screens to declare another player as their personal enemy for the match. Defeating rivals awarded Rival Credits and built up a Rivalry Rank. In a unique twist, the game randomly selected one player in the lobby to actually drive the Battle Bus at the start of each match. The loot pool was almost entirely refreshed, introducing the Overdrive Grenade and the Skyline Deployer for movement. The season also featured a major Looney Tunes collaboration, bringing Bugs Bunny to the Tier 100 slot of the Showdown Battle Pass.
