The Battle Pass costs 950 V-Bucks, and players can earn up to 1500 in return just by finishing challenges. Such a thing means that players will have enough money to buy the new Aquaman outfit.
The smallest bundle of V-Bucks you can buy is 1,000 V-Bucks, which is $9.99. And then, there is the highest package that costs 2,800 V-Bucks, $24.99.

Early rumors and leaks highlighted some parts of Rickey Reels, Lazy Lake, The Rig, Frenzy Farm, Misty Meadows, The Shark, and several other water-adjacent parts that were changed a lot or flooded. Those rumors proved to be accurate, as most of the game map is now underwater, with water traversal a significant piece.
