Daredevil arrives in Fortnite today, but getting your hands on his outfit will be a lot harder than any other Marvel hero to have come before him.
Fortnite’s Marvel season is in full swing and a number of household names have been added to the game so far. Iron Man, Thor, She-Hulk, and Wolverine have all joined the fight to try and halt the advancing Galactus. This week, Daredevil joins the battle. However, only the game’s very best players will be able to land the Daredevil skin when it drops later today.
The only way to unlock the Daredevil skin, at least to begin with, will be by placing high enough in today’s Daredevil Cup. If the thought of stepping into competitive matches against some of Fortnite’s elite is too daunting a prospect to fathom, don’t panic. The Daredevil Cup will be competed under the Marvel Knockout LTM rules rather than regular BR rounds.
The Daredevil cup begins today and players will have needed to reach a certain division in competitive play in order to enter. The Open League (Division 2) or higher, to be exact. The Daredevil Cup itself is a trios tournament, so players will be competing alongside two other people. They will also only compete against people in their region, and their final placement within that region will determine whether they unlock the Daredevil skin.
- North America East: 1st to 500th place North America West: 1st to 200th place Europe: 1st to 800th place Brazil: 1st to 200th place Asia: 1st to 100th place Oceania: 1st to 100th place Middle East: 1st to 100th place
As is the case with most Fortnite tournaments, participants will have three hours to compete in a maximum of ten matches. During those matches, players will need to rack up as many points as possible. The breakdown of points available during each round can be found below.
- 25 points: 1st place finish 10 points: 2nd place finish 5 points: 3rd - 4th place finish 3 points: 5th - 8th place finish 1 point: 9th - 16th place finish
There are unlimited respawns in Marvel Knockout, which means it’s simply a case of racking up as many eliminations as you possibly can within the given time limit. The Daredevil skin will be available via the in-game store starting next week, but winning it today will make it quite the status symbol for the next few days.
