This season was kinda bad... Mostly because it enforced broken mechanics and vehicles bundled in with a lot of PvE specifically with Fortnite NPCs (this was about the time The Seven and the IO started having massive conflict in the middle of the island, so you could like, infiltrate IO outposts and stuff like that) but asides from that... I don't remember much else from it? It was just very forgettable asides from the UFOs and the changes to locations, but I bet no one even remembers about the infected chickens or the virus you could wear on your head that gave you more speed for the inability to swim and stuff like that. At least the crafting system wasn't so bad this time around, Nuts and Bolts made for an interesting mechanic in which you could get sidegrades for your weapons instead of evolutions or variations.

Battle Pass this time around was alright, some skins were cool but did the tier 100 really have to be Rick Sánchez? Like yeah, good collab and all but it kickstarted a trend of having a crossover skin as a level 100 from here on now, which wasn't really a creative move by Epic, since they just kinda vaulted all designs for cool skins as the final reward in order to sell out, but oh well. At least Operation Sky Fire and the return of the Cube was cool.

(Also I don't remember exactly but I think this was the last season in which levels had an XP progression instead of all being the same XP amount to get to the next one, but that's very unfortunate)
