Fortnite Tournament of Power event: Start date, free rewards, how to participate, and more

After an eternity, the leaked and later confirmed Dragon Ball x Fortnite collaboration arrived. The update went live and introduced a whole host of changes. There are new skins, more than a few challenges, cosmetics, and even a brand new Dragon Ball POI.

This is one of the biggest collaborations that Epic Games has introduced, perhaps in the entire history of the game. It's bigger than the Naruto crossover that introduced an NPC, items, challenges and several skins.

One of the biggest additions is the Tournament of Power, which will be an in-game event.

Fortnite x Dragon Ball: Tournament of Power guide

The event will kick off on August 18, just two days from the time of writing. Here's what Epic Games said:

"Harness your power and unleash it in the Tournament of Power taking place in all regions on August 18, 2022 in the Competitive playlist! Compete in this Battle Royale Duos tournament for a chance to earn the following prizes."

Prizes available for certain things include:

• Top 50% on Main Leaderboard: Angry Vegeta Emoticon
• 8 Points Earned on Main Leaderboard: Goku's Kanji Banner Icon
• 3 Points Earned from Eliminations with a Kamehameha: Beerus Eating Spray

The Kamehameha is a new item added to the game for this crossover. Here's how it's been described:

"Falling from the sky in deliveries invented by Capsule Corp throughout each match, pick up the Kamehameha and launch a devastating energy beam at anyone who crosses your path!"

It will become more frequent on the island as the Fortnite match gets later and later.

As always, players will have a three-hour window during their region's time to complete up to 10 matches and earn points for placement, eliminations and more. This will be a duos tournament that can't be filled, so gamers must find a reliable partner to compete.

Epic Games also stressed that participating Fortnite gamers must have two-factor authentification enabled to earn rewards.
