Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2 has arrived with a fresh twist on the usual season launch formula. Alongside the standard Battle Pass content, Epic Games is bundling a limited-time Launch Week Bonus that hands Battle Pass owners four exclusive cosmetics at no extra cost. The catch? This bonus has a hard expiry date, so knowing exactly what's on offer and how to claim it is essential if you want to add these items to your locker.
How Do You Unlock the Launch Week Bonus?
The process is straightforward. You need to own the Chapter 7 Season 2 Battle Pass or hold an active Fortnite Crew subscription during the redemption window. Both qualify you automatically, so there's no separate purchase or code required.
The window opened at the start of the season on March 19 and closes on March 28. Once that deadline passes, the rewards disappear. Epic Games has not confirmed whether these items will return to the Item Shop at any point, so treating them as limited-time exclusives is the safest assumption.
What Are All the Launch Week Bonus Rewards?
There are four cosmetics in the bundle, and they all share the Stealth Tech theme. The centerpiece is an exclusive style for The Foundation, the member of The Seven whose design is based on Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The remaining three items are matching accessories that pair directly with the outfit.
The Stealth Tech Foundation Style is the headline item here. It gives The Foundation a sleek, tactical visual overhaul that differs noticeably from the base version of the skin. The Stealth Tech Mantle Back Bling, Stealth Tech Plasma Board Glider, and Stealth Tech Plasma Spike Pickaxe round out a cohesive set that works well together in any loadout.

What Happens After the Launch Week Bonus Expires?
Once March 28 passes, the bonus window closes. Players who already claimed the rewards keep them permanently in their locker. Anyone who missed the window will need to wait and see whether Epic Games makes these items available through the Item Shop at a later date, though no such announcement has been made.
The Stealth Tech set is positioned as a launch reward, which suggests Epic intends it to carry some exclusivity. Whether that holds long-term depends on Epic's future decisions, but for now, the safest play is to grab it before the deadline.
