Ranks are a Gameplay Mechanic in Fortnite that were introduced in Chapter 6: Season 3.

They were known as Hero Ranks during Chapter 6: Season 3, O.X.R. Ranks in Chapter 6: Season 4, and Blitz Level in Blitz Royale.

Functionality

Ranking Up

Rank is shared through a squad, and all players start each match as Rank C. Ranking up involves gaining points from accomplishing certain objectives, including eliminating other players or guards, surviving storm phases, and taking a sprite to a shrine. In Chapter 6: Season 3, every time the player ranked up, they would gain Effective Health based on their rank, 25 at Rank B, 50 at Rank A, then 100 at Rank S and above.

Rewards for Ranking Up

Every rank grants rewards, depending on the season--usually in the form of supply caches such as Drop Pods that drop near the player or access to Hero Caches, with improved rewards for each rank. They guarantee a consumable and a weapon of a specific rarity, going from Uncommon to Legendary, depending on the specific rank.

Reaching Rank S+ provides significant rewards, including powerful Boons: for example, in Chapter 6: Season 3 the player would have received all boons in the loot pool they hadn't yet obtained.

Rank	Rarity	Boon	Other Rewards
Rank C	Uncommon
Rank B	Rare	Super Soldier: Rank B
Rank A	Epic	Super Soldier: Rank A	O.X.R. Bunker access
Rank S	Legendary	Super Soldier: Rank S
Rank S+	Mythic	Super Soldier: Rank S+	Enhanced Havoc Shotgun Enhanced Assault Rifle Overclocked Pulse Rifle
