The Overtime Mission for Fortnite's Season X is all set to begin tomorrow. This mission begins October 8 and ends October 13. Completing the mission lets players earn end-of-season rewards which includes XP, cosmetics, and even a Loading Screen that serves as a Season X memento.
That's not all as Fortnite extended Season X for another week. This means players get until October 13 to complete their Battle Pass. This also means that the Gotham City and Batman Caped Crusader Pack is going to be available as well until Season X ends.
The extensions were announced along with the release of patch 10.40.1.
The 10.40.1 patch also includes a major change for Zone Wars. In particular the Dessert, Vortex, Colosseum, and Downhill River LTMs have been combined into two LTM playlists. Players can queue on either playlist in order to play one of the four Zone maps at random:
- Zone Wars: Party
- Queue with a party larger than one into a free-for-all experience.
- Zone Wars: Solo
- Queue by yourself into a free-for-all experience.
