Play Fortnite Ranked Reload!

You’ve asked for it, now it’s here! Jump into Ranked Reload and start climbing the ranks to Gold, Platinum, and then some. 

No matter which Ranked experience you play, unlock a different Style for the Felina Outfit and Felina’s Claw Pickaxe based on your highest rank across Fortnite between v31.00 and any point in the future. Learn more about Ranked Reload and the Felina festivities below!

Get Felina and Felina’s Claw Meow

How do you get Felina and Felina’s Claw in the first place? All players who log into Fortnite from now until November 11, 2024, at 9 AM ET will be able to unlock the default Outfit and Pickaxe by doing the following:

• Earn 25 Account Levels by December 9, 2024, at 9 AM ET to unlock the Felina’s Claw Pickaxe.

• Earn 50 Account Levels by December 9, 2024, at 9 AM ET to unlock the Felina Outfit.

Your highest rank across Battle Royale, Zero Build, Reload, and Rocket Racing between v31.00 and any point in the future will determine the Style you unlock for Felina and Felina’s Claw. For example, if the highest rank you reach is Platinum II in Reload, you’ll get the Platinum Style for Felina and Felina’s Claw. 

Make it past Platinum? There are Styles for Elite, Champion, and Unreal too!

The Champion and Unreal Styles of the Felina Outfit. 

You’ll be able to switch to the default Style of the Outfit and Pickaxe if you choose.

How Ranking Up Works

In a Reload Lobby, if you have “Ranked” set to “On,” you’ll see your current rank on the bottom-right of the screen. You’ll also see a progress bar indicating how far you are from advancing to the next rank or returning to the previous one. 

Reload is played as a team, and your team will have a team rank determined by the highest-ranked player on the team. For example, if your team is made up of Platinum III and Gold I players, you’ll matchmake as a Platinum III team and play against similarly-ranked teams. 

(Even though your team will have a rank, you’ll also maintain your individual rank. The progress bar movement for your individual rank will be based on your team performance and your individual rank.)

Ranked Reload has a couple different rules than Ranked Battle Royale and Zero Build:

• Eliminations of full enemy teams will award extra Ranked progression.

• Repeated eliminations of the same player(s) by the same team will award significantly reduced progression after the second elimination.

In Reload, eliminations and placement both play a major role for calculating Ranked progression. We’ll be monitoring the impact of the progression system and will make changes if necessary during this first Ranked period.

Ranked Periods

We’ll let everyone know at a later date when this first Ranked period for Reload will end. At the start of a new Ranked period, everyone’s Reload rank will reset, and your beginning rank will depend on your finishing rank in the previous period. 

Your beginning rank in this first Ranked period is based on your past Reload performance. You’ll need to play one Ranked Reload match to have your rank revealed!

Supported Modes

You can play Ranked Reload with the following modes selected:

Reload - Battle Royale

• Duos

Requirement to Play

Ranked play is meant for both new and veteran Fortnite players. To make sure new players are warmed up, players with Epic accounts that have never been used to log into Fortnite will have to complete a specific Quest (Outlast 500 opponents) before they can enable the Ranked option in Battle Royale, Zero Build, or Reload.
