With Major 3 now closer than ever, it is time for fans to get ready for the Fortnite Global Championship - the most exciting competition of the year among this community. Whether fans aspire to be among the top contendors or simply enjoy Fortnite as an eSport, they have the opportunity to participate in FNCS Community Cups to unlock free items.
How to Get the Free Gold Crush Boost in Fortnite
Fortnite players can now claim the free Gold Rush Boost for a limited time, though doing so requires another free-to-play game. Here is how.
This guide shows players how they can acquire an entire Fortnite cosmetic set for free and before it even hits the Item Shop by participating in the Champion Crystal Cup.
How to Get the Champion Crystal Skin Early in Fortnite
Players can get the Champion Crystal skin alongside her FNCS set early by participating in the Champion Crystal Cup in Fortnite. The Champion Crystal Cup begins on July 19, but the exact time of the event depends on the player's region, so they should be sure to check the Compete tab in-game to confirm when they can play it.
There are seven freebies for players to unlock in the Champion Crystal Cup. Gamers will get the Crystal's Run spray simply by scoring 8 points during the tournament. If they're able to get 40 points, they'll receive the FNCS Charger back bling. And, lastly, they will receive the Champion Crystal skin and the rest of her bundle, which includes the Ace's Emblem back bling, FNCS Star Wand pickaxe, Champion's Bolt wrap, and the Eye of the Storm jam track, for being among the top players in their region.
The Chapter 6 Season 3 FNCS bundle mentioned above will become available in the Item Shop on July 31 at 8 PM ET.
Champion Crystal Cup Rules and Winners
The Champion Crystal Cup is a solo Fortnite Cup set in the standard Battle Royale game mode, meaning players will have to build. Once the event is live in a region, it'll be available for a total of three hours. During this time, gamers can play a maximum of 10 matches. In order to be eligible to participate in the Champion Crystal Cup, players mustn't have a cabined account and their account level must be higher than 50.
