With Fortnite Season X going live earlier today, the entire Fortnite community got in panic as soon as they realized that the daily challenges are missing from their main menu. Many people thought that Fortnite Season X Daily Challenges would mean that Epic is pushing more people to buy the battle pass with real money and potentially break the free-to-play model of the game. However, an Epic Employee has confirmed that the Daily challenges will return later today.
Fortnite Season X Daily Challenges Are Coming Back
In a reply to a post in the FortniteBR subreddit, Epic Employee MrPopoTFS has stated:
They also added that dailies are going to get a slight overhaul in the form of Limited Time Missions for the people who bought the unique skins like the Breakpoint bundle from the V-Bucks store. Users who bought these skins can now complete their Limited Time Missions through daily missions as a proxy.
Ever since the game returned from the lengthy 4-hour downtime, many users on the game were shocked to see that they are unable to see or find their stacked up daily challenges.
2 Daily challenges allows users to earn a battle-pass tier, which is just the push some people need to get an extra 100 v-bucks to buy the battle pass. Currently, the earliest tier you can unlock the free 100 v-bucks will be at tier 11, so you will have quite some grinding to do on your way there.
Thankfully this was an error on Epic’s end, and they have yet to publicly address this on their social media portals.
For now, fans who were waiting eagerly to play Fortnite Season X with their daily challenges will have to wait a few hours more to get ahead with some extra tiers.
In the time fans went unanswered, members of the community already speculated that free-to-play users would only be able to reach tier 30. This would have been catastrophic for Epic games and perhaps acts as a lesson for them to better manage such events before they spin out of control.
Free Battlepass rewards up to Lv. 62 … but you can only reach Lv. 30 for Free, and only at Player level 100, with Daily and Free Weekly challenges now gone. from FortNiteBR
Fortnite Season X is out for all platforms that support it, you will have to do some hefty downloading, but the season looks promising thus far.
