Fortnite Ranked Play Guide – Rewards
Season Zero’s final cosmetic reward is the Burn Bright Emote. Use this Emote to display your current rank color (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and so on).
Fortnite Ranked Play Guide – Rank list
Here are all the ranks you can achieve:
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Platinum
- Diamond
- Elite
- Champion
- Unreal
Bronze, Diamond, and Unreal will each have three ranks, while Elite, Champion, and Unreal will only have one. Climb the Bronze ranks to reach Silver, then the Silver ranks to reach Gold. To reach Elite, repeat the process in Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.
Once you reach Unreal, you will remain there for the duration of the Ranked Season. This means that regardless of your future performance, you will not be able to return to previous ranks for the remainder of the Season.
However, just because you’ve reached Unrea doesn’t mean you’re done. When you reach Unreal, you’ll be assigned a number that represents your position among Unreal players worldwide. Continue to perform well in Ranked matches to increase your number and become one of the best players in the world.
Fortnite Ranked Play Guide – How does the ranking system work?
On the left side of the screen in your Lobby, you’ll see your current rank. A progress bar will also appear, indicating how close you are to advancing to the next rank or returning to the previous one.
How much the progress bar grows or shrinks after a match is determined by the following variables:
- Your match placement
- How many eliminations you or your team got in the match
- Eliminations later in the match will count more than eliminations earlier in the match.
- The ranks of the players you or your team eliminated will be taken into account.
When you play Solo, you will be matched with opponents of the same or similar rank to you.
When you play Duos or Squads, your team will have a “party rank.” Your party rank will be equal to the highest-ranking teammate’s rank. Your team will be paired with teams from the same or a similar party rank.
That is all there is to know about Fornite Ranked Play.
