What are Gem Fragments in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1?

Shanta is a Battle Pass skin that is available on the first page. The first Battle Pass outfit always grabs the attention of players, and Chapter 3 Season 1 is no exception.

Fortnite has added special quests and challenges for the Shanta outfit to the Battle Pass, which players must complete to gain XP and additional styles. These styles are primarily based on new armor pieces for the character.

The XP grind for Chapter 3 Season 1 has already begun, as players are more than excited to finally unlock the Spider-Man outfit and pair it with the new mythic ability.

Collecting Gem Fragments to collect and unlock additional skin styles is not a new mechanic for Fortnite players. They had to collect Alien Artifacts in Chapter 2 Season 7 to get all styles for Kymera and color bottles for the Toona Fish outfit in Chapter 2 Season 8.
