Fortnite tournaments – #FreeFortnite cup

Fortnite tournaments don’t come around too often, but when they do, they normally have a desirable prize pool. If you are a fan of free items or V-bucks – and let’s be honest, who isn’t? – then you better have a good excuse to not participate in these tournaments. In fact, it’s never a waste of time, as you even get a prize for participation.

While playing the odd tournament is good fun, trying to compete in every one of them is easier said than done. Sure, you could just sign up for every tournament and hope for the best, only to find out that the event is region-locked, or that the prize pool is disappointing. But that’s where we come in. We want to make your life as easy as possible by providing a list of the Fortnite tournaments to help you to pick and choose the events that most appeal to you. There is nothing worse than winning a tournament not worth winning.

So if you want to stay up to date with everything Fortnite, including a regularly updated list of tournaments, we’ve got you covered! For more fantastic Fortnite content, check out our Fortnite item shop guide, our Fortnite v Apple timeline, or get the latest Fortnite patch notes.

#FreeFortnite cup

The #FreeFortnite cup is an apple-eating point-scoring tournament capitalising on the recent turbulence created by Apple removing Fortnite from the App Store. You can participate in the #FreeFortnite cup by logging onto Fortnite on August 23 and selecting the #FreeFortnite cup playlist. Here you will have four hours and only 12 matches to score as many points as you can. There is a bonus reward if you eat the most apples in a single match and across the session.

Fortnite Community Battles Bootcamp

The Community Battle Bootcamp is a tournament where you’re given a series of challenges to complete in-game. If you manage to complete all the challenges, you will unlock the final challenge where your total points will be used to determine your finishing position.

To register for the Fortnite Community Battles Bootcamp, you will need to sign up on the official tournament website. After you register, be sure to turn on the career leaderboard setting in Fortnite, for your score and progression to be tracked. Without this setting, it is unlikely that the challenges you complete will be counted.

Fortnite Community Battles Bootcamp rewards

Once you have completed the daily challenges, you will be eligible to compete in the final challenge. The top competitors in the final challenge will be awarded a sum of V-bucks, depending on how well they performed.
