The new ranked mode replaces the Arena mode and tournaments as Fortnite's competitive mode.
The ranked mode matches players with opponents of comparable skill levels using a skill-based matchmaking mechanism.
Solo, Duos, Squads, and Zero Build are the four ranking modes.
Players will have different ranks for each game, such as Battle Royale and Zero Build.
Players must finish the "Outlast 500 opponents" task in order to participate in the ranked mode.
The ranked mode has eight ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Elite, Champion, and Unreal.
Except for Elite, Champion, and Unreal, each rank has three levels that players must complete before going on to the next rank.
