This one stunk pretty bad. Thankfully there was a massive XP glitch that led to me completing the entire battle pass or else I think I never would've gotten far enough. Around this season is when I felt my extreme boredom with this game start to set in. This season introduced the different modes/metaverse aspects to the game like LEGO Fortnite (terrible), Rocket Racing (mediocre), and Fortnite Festival (actually decent), and I think as a result of that Battle Royale felt a lot less fun this time around. Item shops were awful (possibly due to LEGO Fortnite), the content drought at the beginning of the season was mind-numbingly boring, and the new additions really weren't enough to keep me hooked. Peter Griffin and Solid Snake were amazing collabs in the battle pass, but apart from those two the pass didn't stand out much for me. The map was surprisingly soulless, it felt more like a Call of Duty Warzone map or a default Unreal Engine 5 map than a Fortnite map, and I felt like it lacked the distinct goofiness of previous maps up until this point. The loot pool left a lot to be desired, with the addition of weapon mods it felt like there was a lot less variety than before, interesting things were only added towards the middle/end of the season with the Metal Gear Solid mythics and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collab. As for the mid-season event pass, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collab, it was alright, but as someone with not a whole lot of attachment to the franchise it was somewhat underwhelming. In retrospect this season probably isn't as bad as I imagine it was, but it did successfully help wean me off the game in a way, as I have not been playing nearly as much since. Thank you Epic Games for dropping a season so boring it single-handedly saved my bank account.
