Super Level Styles
Each season in Fortnite has its own Battle Pass, which contains a variety of intriguing cosmetic items that players work quickly to unlock by racking up XP and Battle Stars. Once a player reaches level 100, though, they typically set their sights on the extremely rare and difficult-to-unlock super level styles.

For the Mariposa, Rian, Lorenzo, Relik, and Trace outfits, the new Wildscorch, Confetti Claw, and Regal Hunter super level styles have arrived. These styles become available to the player at level 125 and can be obtained in full by reaching level 200. So good luck getting them all in time!
New Cloak Gauntlets and Relik NPC boss
In the most recent patch, a new NPC boss was introduced to the map, and he can be found in the Jungle biome, carrying two rare weapons. The jungle biome’s Wildguard Relik is currently roaming throughout the area’s three new POIs in search of his new victim.
In addition to the NPC, you’ll also find a pair of Cloak Gauntlets, created from reflecting Kinetic Ore and functioning similarly to the Predator’s Cloaking Device by temporarily rendering you invisible for a set period of time when used. This item has a cooldown period, after which it can be used indefinitely for the remainder of the match.
After defeating Wildguard Relik on the Fortnite island, players will obtain the Cloak Gauntlets and a Mythic variation of the MK-Alpha Assault Rifle, the game’s strongest assault rifle with an attached red-dot sight.
Ranks reset in Ranked Mode
In preparation for the next season of Ranked Mode, all player ranks have been reset to the beginning with the latest patch. Fortnite players can keep working through the same urgent Ranked Quests as they would in a normal match, as their progress over the challenges has not been reset.
With this update, however, your Bright Burn emote will no longer show your previous rank as you must climb through the ranks again to be an Unreal contender.
Competitive Ranks
In addition, the update includes the eligibility criteria for this season’s competitive tournaments, which means that players must achieve a particular rank in the Ranked mode before entering a Fortnite tournament.
| Tournament | Rank Requirement |
| FNCS Community Cup | Bronze I in Ranked Battle Royale |
| Duos Fill Cup | Silver I in Ranked Battle Royale |
| Zero Build Duos Fill Cup | Silver I in Ranked Zero Build |
| Solo Victory Cash Cup | Gold I in Ranked Battle Royale |
| Zero Build Duos Victory Cash Cup | Gold I in Ranked Zero Build |
| Duos Cash Cup | Gold I in Ranked Battle Royale |
| Console Champions Cup | Platinum I in Ranked Battle Royale |
| FNCS Major 3 | Platinum I in Ranked Battle Royale |

Minor hotfixes were also implemented alongside the larger upgrades, and these included the vaulting and unvaulting of a number of items and weapons. Here are those changes:
- Shockwave Grenades have been unvaulted in Zero Build.
- Flare Gun is now unvaulted as chest and floor loot.
- Chickens and Sky Jellies have been vaulted.
