Fortnite Reload Cups: Format, dates, and how to compete

Fortnite Reload remains one of the best additions to the game. It drops players into a familiar Chapter 1 setting with a robust loot pool, respawns enabled, and an overall enjoyable experience. Given the success of this game mode, Epic Games has announced Fortnite Reload Cups for players looking to scratch their competitive itch while playing this popular playlist. Here is everything you need to know about Reload Cups in Fortnite.

Fortnite Reload Cups offer two different options: one for traditional Battle Royale and another for Zero Build. Regardless of which one you choose, these tournaments are open only to Squads, meaning you can only queue in with a full team of four players. The competitions last for two hours and there is a match limit of seven games across that period. Like most Fortnite tournaments, your team earns points based on eliminations and placement.

To compete in Fortnite Reload Cups, you must be at least 13 years of age and have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled on your Epic Games account. If you meet those requirements, you can queue into the Battle Royale or Zero Build versions of these competitions beginning on August 1.

Since Epic Games is merely trialing Reload Cups, there is no prize money involved in these tournaments. However, depending on the success, Epic could bring these back in the future with prize pools.
