As well as an in-built emote called the Tactical Visor Toggle Emote.

Wonder how many people will have the drive to unlock that style too.

 

Who Is The Foundation?

The Foundation is the leader of The Seven, the group dedicated to stopping the Imagined Order and escaping the island and the loop along with it.

The Seven have been a part of Fortnite since Chapter 1 – Season 4’s rocket event, in which The Visitor made his first appearance. The Seven all returned to the island for the end of Season X when they forced the Zero Point to basically reset itself to stop The Last Reality from coming to the island.

The Foundation made his debut at the start of Chapter 2 – Season 6, reluctantly teaming up with Agent Jones to try and stop the Zero Point chaos, entombing himself in the Zero Point in the process until the start of Season 7.

Following a random visit to Gotham City, The Foundation returned to the island during the Chapter 2 finale event The End and saved Jones from IO’s Slone before flipping the island with The Scientist and The Visitor, other members of The Seven.

Now, he’s looking to end the loop once and for all.

 

When Does The Foundation Unlock?

The Foundation’s Battle Pass page will unlock on February 3rd, 2022, a full two months on from the launch of Chapter 3.

Players will need to complete challenges to then unlock The Foundation skin as long as they’ve bought the Battle Pass.

 

How Much Is The Battle Pass?

The Fortnite: Chapter 3 – Season 1 Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks (around £6.49/$7.99), same as every season.

Players can also subscribe to Fortnite Crew for the Battle Pass, 1000 V-Bucks, and an exclusive skin. Fortnite Crew costs $11.99/£9.99 a month and you get to keep the Battle Pass even if you unsubscribe.

Fortnite is free-to-play on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
