This season brings superheroes front and center in Fortnite’s latest update. Explore specialized battle passes, tiered rewards, and concealed treasures to equip yourself for adrenaline-fueled clashes.
Accessing Hero Caches in Fortnite
While traversing the map, you’ll encounter unique chests tied to Hero Caches. These spawn in unpredictable spots across points of interest and require matching player ranks for access. For instance, a Rank S chest remains inaccessible to Rank C players. Below are the rewards per tier:
| Rank | Loot |
|---|---|
| S Rank | – Legendary weapon – Legendary consumable – Guaranteed Boon – Hero Item |
| A Rank | – Epic weapon – Epic consumable – Guaranteed Boon – Hero Item |
| B Rank | – Rare weapon – Rare consumable – High chance for a Boon – Hero Item |
| C Rank | – Uncommon weapon – Uncommon consumable – Chance for a Boon |
Reaching higher ranks unlocks map markers for corresponding caches. At S+ Rank, players automatically receive missing Boons without needing to locate caches. Progressing through tiers requires strategic actions each match.
Advancing Hero Ranks
Each match starts you at Rank C, requiring renewed effort to ascend. Activities like defeating enemies or surviving storm phases contribute to your progression:
| Action | EXP |
|---|---|
| Goon Elimination | +25 |
| Survived Storm Phase | +125 |
| Destroy Scout Spire | +250 |
| Elimination | +150 |
