The Pickle Rick Cup is your chance to win the Pickle Rick Fortnite skin for free while showcasing your skills as a player. Here's how to play!
Another installment of the Fortnite x Rick and Morty collaboration hits the Item Shop on Friday, following a formal teaser posted yesterday. To celebrate this occasion, Epic Games is hosting a Pickle Rick Cup in Fortnite, where the top players will unlock the skin before anyone else. Although a challenging task, even those who earn 8 points in the tournament will unlock a Pickle Rick-themed Spray for free.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Pickle Rick Cup, including how to compete and more.
What is the Pickle Rick Cup?
The Pickle Rick Cup is a Solo Battle Royale Fortnite tournament that will occur on Friday, March 6, for most regions. Qualified competitors will have up to three hours to complete ten matches. The objective is to earn as many points as possible based on placement and eliminations. Those who place at the top of their region will receive the Pickle Rick Outfit and Back Bling for free.
Considering the skin also lands in the Item Shop on March 6, it’s unclear whether winners will receive it before the reset. Either way, a free skin is nothing to pass on, especially if you’re a Rick and Morty fan.
