The introduction of Hero Ranks in Fortnite during the new Super season of Chapter 6 Season 3 marks an exciting addition, and it’s vital for players to understand their function and effective ways to elevate these ranks for optimal loot from each match after jumping out of the Battle Bus.

Hero Ranks vary in every game, and only a select group of players will display the commitment required to enhance their Rank from C to S+, affording them unique rewards and the status of being among the top heroes in Fortnite.

Ways to Increase Hero Rank in Fortnite

Players can improve their Hero Rank in Fortnite through four different actions, each contributing a different amount of XP. Below are the heroic tasks players can undertake to progress from a C Rank to an S+ hero:

• Knock & Eliminate opponents (75/100 XP)
• Survive storm phases (100 XP; +25 XP for each phase after the first)
• Deliver a Sprite to a Shrine (250 XP)
• Destroy Scout Spire (250 XP)
• Eliminate Henchmen (25 XP)
• Eliminate Bosses (1,500 XP)

Taking down other players is the fastest route to increase Hero Rank in Fortnite, but it carries considerable risks. Eliminating Henchmen is simpler, yet offers a lower XP yield. To achieve an S+ Rank in Battle Royale, players must defeat at least 20 other players.

Importance of Hero Rank in Fortnite

Hero Ranks are game-specific, which means every player begins with a C-tier Hero Rank each time they jump from the Battle Bus. Even if players attain the max Hero Rank of S+, this will reset after returning to the lobby, despite securing a Victory Royale. Increasing Hero Ranks during a game is beneficial because leveling up provides 100 Effective Health, boosts the power of Boons, and grants access to a Hero Cache filled with valuable loot:
