Fortnite launches Solo Showdown mode, giving away free V-bucks

Earlier this week, some Fortnite Battle Royale fans looked up the game’s data and discovered information about a competitive mode that is about to be released. As fans began to predict what the rankings would look like, Epic Games announced their plans for players to know.

Epic games just launched Solo Showdown, a new game mode that’s just arrived in Fortnite Battle Royale. Starting today, Solo Showdown will run until May 21, 9pm. Epic Games explains the new mode will pit players against “equal opponents”.

Unlike previous limited events, Solo Showdown “will not change the core gameplay value of the current Solo mode,” Epic said. However, while this mode is not much different from normal Fortnite Battle Royale gameplay, Solo Showdown will be “the test of who is the best.”

Epic also revealed about the great rewards in Solo Showdown and they will be given to players after the event ends. Anyone in 51 to 100 will get 7,500 V-Buck, top 5 to 50 will get 13,500 V Buck, 2 to 4 will get 25,000 V-Buck, and first place will get 50,000 V-buck. With a huge amount of skin just added, the top 100 gamers in Solo Showdown can spend as much as they want with the amount of V-Buck they receive.

Epic also said the Solo Showdown is just the “first step,” as it seeks to create events that are suitable for “all players.” This mode is also aimed at the best and most talented Fortnite players. Epic also teased a “major competitive announcement” next week. However, the studio is also considering taking care of players with low skill levels.

Epic is wanting to know if Solo Showdown will leave unskilled players feeling out of place, forcing them to feel the need to get better at the game. With more than 40 million players, of course, the skills of each person in the game will be very diverse. Therefore, Epic Games needs to make sure everyone is entertained to keep them in the game.
