How to Participate

To dive into the Fortnite OG Ranked Cups, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Compete tab in Fortnite.
  2. Select the cup corresponding to your current rank and preferred mode (Solo, Duos, or Squads).
  3. New players or those unranked since the start of Fortnite need only play one Ranked game to get placed.

Playing as a Team

These cups offer flexibility, allowing players to join without adhering to a strict team format. Solo queueing is an option, and you might even get matched with a random fill. While teaming up with a random player might be challenging, it adds an extra layer of excitement to the competition.

Ranked Cup Tiers

Fortnite OG Ranked Cups are divided into different tiers based on player ranks:

  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Diamond/Champion/Elite/Unreal

Each rank has its own lobbies and tournaments, offering a fair playing field for competitors. While the lower ranks might make it easier to earn the cosmetics, be cautious as your rank will be proudly displayed on the cosmetic if you don’t climb higher later in the season.

Exclusive Cosmetics

Participating in Fortnite OG Ranked Cups not only offers a thrilling competitive experience but also the chance to earn exclusive cosmetics. The current cosmetic rewards are:

  • Competitor Skyblades: Achieve 75 points between November 9-12.
  • Competitor’s Time Brella: Attain 75 points between November 23-26.
