But the streamers don't get a cut of the sales?

Can anyone explain what the difference between XP and battle tiers is? I'm super new and am trying to decipher everything the game is showing me :)
This. I got my first battle pass and I am a little confused as to how it all works. Does just playing give me levels? Or is it only through challenges?
XP is for your account/character level, you gain it after every match and each time you level up you are awarded stars. The stars are for the tiers in the Battle Pass, it takes 10 stars to level up a tier. You are also awarded stars for completing the daily/weekly challenges.
If you want to level up your Battle Pass, focus on the challenges, it's the only way to hit max tier.
So you earn XP and then if you earn enough of that you go up a level which also gives you stars to level up your Battle Pass level. When your BP levels up you get cosmetics and XP boosters
Battle Pass also gives you challenges you can complete to earn stars and XP faster. These can be anything from fetch quests to getting eliminations in a specific area to opening chests to getting specific types of damage on opponents.
Ahhh, I get it now! Thanks guys!
Looks like the mystery skin wouldn't appear until week 7 at earliest, so probably not in the game yet.
Yes, just add your account, log in and play, and then remove the profile when you're done.
Apparently a kid submitted a dance and they actually added it

Ok, no rush to get those damn 3 kills in the toilet factory then lmao
The only thing I'd say about this is that after a couple weeks, it's going to be real tough to find anyone ever going to toilet factory. Better get your kills now while people are still there hunting for them.
I won my first game in season 4! Felt very rusty. My first game in ages. Those jump crystals are soooooooooo good. I wish you could stash some for later because they're just so much fun.
I can see myself getting bored of the map very quickly though. That's one of the reasons I stopped playing to begin with.

Yeah. Flush Factory is on the edge of the map, so if the bus starts there, jump off immediately and I promise you'll have plenty of people to shoot at through the whole season.
I played like 10 games today, dropped in a different spot each time... the map didn't feel that different aside from dusty depot.
Shotgun still seems too strong. They kept the whole aim reset when crouching and uncrouching, which is a bummer. It's weird that they patch that in so fast but they've kept jump shotgun's accuracy for so long. If poke shooting with accuracy is a problem, why can I do it was the shotgun so well and frankly even better. Anyway, seems like a solid launch of the new season. I bought the pass cause I always have excess vbucks from STW (and way too many items in STW to bother spending it there).
The last game I missed like 5 shots in a row from medium-short range with the blue AR while crouching. Then died to a sniper shot because god forbid I try to kill someone with an AR and not a shotgun. I'd love to see them improve accuracy outside of first shot accuracy at this point. Let me move around and fire accurately, what exactly is the harm when the game is already quite mobile with shotguns.

Are you burst firing? What I do is try to get in at a medium range, hit them with a shotgun, and then immediately switch to a sub or AR and burst fire them till die. If I have to reload the AR I switch back to the shotgun. I build when it gets too crazy. It's not perfect and my aim is 50/50 for the most part but I get kills.
I have no problem getting kills. I just don't think the AR's accuracy is good enough. It's not where I would like it to be while I am crouching.
It's tricky cuz the AR can drop you fast with well placed shots. Idk, it sometimes annoys me how easily you can lose accuracy after the first shot but then I wonder if kills would be too easy if Epic made it more accurate.
Kills already are super easy with the shotgun.
But I am all for them reducing the damage of weapons so people don't die too fast under a more accurate system.
3.6 patch...
"Improved hitching that occurs on player elimination (more improvements coming in v4.0)"
Which took a nonexistent problem and turned it into a problem. Now with 4.0 they have certainly improved it...by making it a shit ton worse! How is this not a massive talking point? Every death I've had today ends abruptly into complete silence. More than once I've died to shots that never happened. And watched as shotguns kill me midway through their switching animation. No damage, just death. How can they want that?

Now that's some funny shit.
Hit your shots, kid, and the burst is the far superior gun.
I suck with the burst gun at long range. I might as well be using a hunting rifle.
Wayne Manor house making me sad there isn't a Batman-ish skin,
Oh well guess im sticking to Elite Agent till Valor unless something great hits the store.

The burst used to be the superior gun. With the damage falloff and headshot nerf, now they're pretty trash. They're also really bad at shooting down structures, which is really important in the ever-present build-shotgun meta.
The burst is like a laser death machine imo. I just hate getting caught with it up close.
I love the burst + tactical SMG
The blue burst is the best non-scar assault rifle for taking down other players, but the traditional AR is better at bringing down structures so there's an argument for both depending on your play style.
Some weird server issues today. Had a straight up freeze in place that seemed to hit everyone else for well over a minute, I could still go into build mode and swap materials and edit but nothing would place and I couldn't move or switch weapons. Threw me off when it came back.
Outside of stuff like that the new season seems pretty good. No brainer to buy battle passes since you make all the vbucks back though none of the skins are really standing out for me. The idea of the upgradeable costumes is pretty cool though.
Map stuff is neat, but more for the little changes to me. I've noticed a lot of small areas added or changed like the nameless spot near flush factory, one of the buildings is totally different and some kind of dance club now. Moisty Mire is almost completely different with a big movie set being set up and I've been finding tons of loot there, the prison is mostly smashed, mansion near lonely lodge with a bunker, etc.
Dusty Divot seems like an area I can't see people landing at much once the newness wears off. That has gotta be the single worst position on the map to be in, the ridge is way bigger than I expected so you have a huge ground advantage over people inside. I can imagine landing retail to loot and going there to pick people off being pretty common.
Hop rocks are fun but mostly just more fuel for more shotgun fights. Due to being a map consumable they won't have much of an impact either way, but the new area in the top right can lead to some funky fights. Find it hard to keep track of where people are with them with the noise though.

I always find it hilarious that sniper rifle challenges aren't listed as "Hard." Were it not for the hunting rifle I'd probably never finish them, lol. I'm awful with scoped snipers.
2 back to back 2nd finishes in duo... once with killer and the second one on my own in duo. Demolished 3 duo teams and screwed up fighting the last duo who just paraglided on top of me with shotguns.
I'm sure the client is improved, but the servers are not up to the task of handling the first day of the season.
I didn't run into much trouble but that hitching happened, but it's not something that really changes the outcome. It happens when you're already dead.
Nope, i've gotten it when shooting someone with an ar from far away. It saved their life. I've also had it happen in between 2 shotgun blasts
