How to Turn Ranked On in Fortnite: A Quick Guide
Last updated
Ever wondered how to get your Fortnite matches to feel a bit more competitive? You’re probably thinking about turning ranked mode on. But wait, how do you actually do that in Fortnite?
Let’s dive into exactly how you can switch your Fortnite game to a ranked setting, ensuring you’re ready for more challenging and rewarding matches.
Is There a Ranked Mode in Fortnite?
First things first: does Fortnite have a ranked mode? Well, not in the traditional sense that many other competitive games have. Instead, Fortnite offers a system that naturally fits skilled players against each other, particularly in its most popular mode, Battle Royale.
Fortnite’s approach to competitive play is through the Arena mode. In Arena, players compete in a more traditional ranked setting, where you can climb tiers by earning points called Hype. The more you play and the better you perform, the higher your rank goes!
Steps to Start Playing Ranked in Fortnite
To jump into Arena mode, follow these easy steps:
- Open Fortnite and head to the ‘Game Mode’ selection menu.
- Look for the ‘Arena’ option and select it.
- Choose the Arena game type you want to participate in. Voila! You’re now in Fortnite’s version of ranked play.
Remember, as you play Arena and earn Hype, you’ll face tougher opponents but also gain the chance to participate in special tournaments and events exclusive to high-ranking players.
