How do I play Fortnite ranked mode?

To unlock Fortnite Ranked mode, complete the Outlast 500 players quest found in your Kickstart quests.
Once unlocked, toggle Ranked on from the mode selection screen in the lobby.

Available ranked modes:
Battle Royale, Zero Build, and Reload each have their own separate rank progression.
Your rank in one mode does not affect your rank in another.

Rank tiers (lowest to highest):
Bronze (I–III) → Silver (I–III) → Gold (I–III) → Platinum (I–III) → Diamond (I–III) → Elite → Champion → Unreal

Your rank is based on placement and eliminations each match. Once you reach Elite, you cannot be demoted below it for the rest of the season. Ranks partially reset at the start of each new season.

High ranks unlock eligibility for Epic-hosted tournaments including FNCS. Each season, reaching certain ranks earns exclusive cosmetic rewards.

For competitive rules and tournament eligibility, refer to the Fortnite Competitive Rules Library (Opens in a new tab).
