As for the Doom skin, it will be released as a mid-season drop, differentiating it from the Chapter 2 Season 4 Doom skin. This means players won’t be able to unlock it instantly and will have to wait for its release. All other Fortnite skins in the Battle Pass will be available when the season launches on August 16th.
