Changes to Ranked

As part of the update, Ranked mode in Fortnite has undergone changes for the Summer event 2024. Epic Games is experimenting with a new approach to Ranked, introducing separate loot pools that align more closely with tournament rules rather than traditional gameplay.
During the event, Ranked mode will feature a modified ruleset, resembling tournament play with the following adjustments:
- No Cars
- No Nitro Fists
- No Hireable NPCs
While bosses and medallions remain, the removal of cars and unconventional items brings Ranked mode closer to the competitive experience seen in Fortnite tournaments. This change reflects player feedback and aims to provide a space for practicing gameplay elements relevant to Fortnite esports. Time will tell if this adjustment becomes a permanent feature, offering players a more authentic competitive environment in Ranked mode.
