'Fortnite' Season 6 launches today - here's everything you need to know about the new update

Buying the battle pass will give players immediate access to two new outfits: DJ Yonder and Calamity. Five more Halloween-themed costumes can be unlocked by leveling up the battle pass.

Calamity, the masked cowgirl outfit, is one of two legendary outfits included in the battle pass; the other is a werewolf outfit called Dire. The Dire costume is unlocked by maxing out the battle pass at level 100.

Legendary outfits gain new effects over time as players use them more often in game.

The battle pass also allows players to unlock new pets to carry with them into the Battle Royale. Players can choose between three pets: Bonesy, Scales, and Camo.

Each animal will react to the action during the game, but like other rewards, they won't have any impact on gameplay.

Season 6 will add a new consumable item to the game, called shadow stones.

Using a shadow stone will activate shadow form, which makes players invisible to enemies while standing still, improves their movement abilities, and gives them the ability to phase through objects. However, the player will be unable to use weapons while shadow form is active.

"Fortnite" Season 6 is now live, and players can already start earning battle pass rewards.
