Online FNCS is back! Grab your duo and get ready to compete
FNCS will be returning, and players will have a chance to compete against each other. The chosen game mode is duos, so make sure you and your teammate are prepared. Whether or not this is the set game mode for the entire year is unknown.
Arena has reset, meaning there is no pre-season. Players can now jump in and start earning points to prepare for FNCS.
FNCS will begin on February 3. To compete, players will have to reach Elite division in the divisional cups held through the five weeks prior to FNCS.
Want to make sure you understand the divisional cups so you are ready for FNCS? Don't worry, we got you.
Divisional cups return, making them mandatory to compete in FNCS
Instead of just simply reaching champs to compete in FNCS this season, players will have to reach the Elite division in Fortnite's divisional cups. The divisional cups are weekly tournaments that feature cash prizes and allow duos to rank up divisions as they compete.
Be weary though, once you choose a region to compete in, you will have to compete in that region for the rest of the season. Regional matchmaking will be locked for those trying to compete in multiple regions.
During the weeks, you can only compete in one division. Divisional cups will begin on January 4, so you will have five weeks to reach Elite. It is time to grind!
