Apart from adding events such as the FNCS Mid-Season LAN and bringing back the much-awaited PRO-AM, the developers have confirmed the arrival of a Fortnite Ranked 2.0 mode —suggesting a major overhaul.

Ranked is essentially a competitive version of the regular mode, where players earn or lose ranks based on their performance in each match. Gameplay aspects add to the points, which help players climb the ladder to the top position. The high-octane mode is one of the most popular variants, where players from around the world come together to test their mettle.

While there is no confirmation on the features, players can expect improvements in aspects such as formats and matchmaking, as well as enhancements in ensuring the game is free of hackers or cheats.

Apart from the matchmaking improvement, the developers could also invest in enhancing the loot pool and offering custom weapons or stock variants of mythic weapons meant for competitive use. However, there is no official confirmation yet. Players will have to wait for an announcement or a patch note from the developers to see what they can expect in Fortnite Ranked 2.0.
