Fortnite’s “Arena” is a game mode that aims to earn points called “Hype” to advance to higher divisions and participate in various competitions. Participation conditions are that the “account level (total level of the season so far)” is 15 or higher.
“Zero Build” and “Battle Royale” have AI-operated “bots”, but only humans participate in the arena. Therefore, it is attractive that it is possible to have a more heated battle and it is easy to acquire skills.In addition, the arena mode also features gameplay
Arena mode is characterized by recovering 50 physical strength when defeating an enemy and a large amount of materials that can be collected. However, since this is a game mode that emphasizes “competitiveness”, some of the powerful weapons and items in normal mode will not appear in the arena.

In Arena there is a “Hype” system that normal mode does not have. Hype is, so to speak, “points”, and the number of hypes earned determines the “division (rank)” of Arena mode.By the way, Hype can be acquired at the timing of defeating enemies and high-ranking survivors, as shown in the image above.
In this article, we will explain the details of Fortnite’s arena mode and how to earn hype efficiently.
Fortnite “Arena” changes the league by the number of hype
As in regular mode, Arena also has Solo, Duo, and Trio matches, all of which earn Hype in the same way. But there is no “squad”. It is thought that the reason is that it is difficult to gather the number of people and that fair play becomes difficult due to pushing.
Arena mode is a “league system” and players are divided into divisions 1-10. The “Open League (Division 1-4)” is a tournament that you can enjoy casually. The Contender League (Divisions 5-7) is a fierce competition for rewards. “Champion League (Division 8-10)” is a tournament where the top of the top fights for prize money.
If you read the explanation so far, you may feel that “Arena seems to be tough …”. However, my impression is that many people are casually playing Open League on the extension of normal mode.
The arena uses a hype system to assign divisions, so it’s a “system where you can fight the right opponent”, and hype doesn’t decrease during the open league. Therefore, it can be said that there is an environment where you can enjoy even if you are not a serious player.
A major goal for Arena participants is to advance to the Champion League
On the other hand, it is also true that there are many serious players among the arena participants. These guys will accumulate hype and aim to advance to the higher divisions. The main goal is to be promoted to the aforementioned “Champion League”.
When you reach Champion League (Division 8 or above), you can participate in a prize competition called “Solo Cash Cup”. Also, the “Hype Cup” does not give any prize money, but it is a popular tournament because you can win a lot of hype.As you can see, many people are aiming to participate in tournaments in arena mode.
There is a system of promotion and demotion.
If you accumulate hype, you will be promoted. On the other hand, after the Contender League, the “bus fare” described later is required, so the hype may decrease. If you continue to have less hype than the bus fare, such as having many “initial deaths” that die immediately after the start of the match, you will be demoted to the division.
[Chapter 3 Season 3]Arena League Details
As of September 2022 (Chapter 3 Season 3), the details of each league in Arena are as follows: In addition, the specifications of the arena will be changed in detail every season in order to “maintain a fair battle environment”.
| league name | Division | Number of hype required | bus fare |
| open league | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 2 | 400 | ||
| 3 | 800 | ||
| 4 | 1200 | ||
| contender league | 5 | 2000 | 30 |
| 6 | 3000 | 40 | |
| 7 | 5000 | 50 | |
| champion league league | 8 | 7500 | 60 |
| 9 | 10000 | 70 | |
| 10 | 15000 | 70 |
By the way, the “bus” in “bus fare” is the balloon-equipped bus that the player rides at the start of the game. In Contender League and beyond, Hype is taken as its fare.
ranking points
In arena mode, the number of hype you get will vary greatly depending on your rank. As of September 2022 (Chapter 3 Season 3), the ranking points are as follows.
| rank | ranking points |
| VICTORY ROYALE | 50 |
| Top 2 | 25 |
| Top 3 | 10 |
| Top 4 | 10 |
| Top 5 | 20 |
| Top 10 | 10 |
| Top 20 | 15 |
| Top 25 | 15 |
| Top 30 | 10 |
| Top 40 | 10 |
| Top 50 | 10 (but not in Champion League) |
For example, if you finish a match in 21st place, you will earn a total of 45 hypes for Top 50, Top 40, Top 30, and Top 25 finishes.
The “kill points” obtained when defeating an enemy are 15 for the Open League, 10 for the Contender League, and 5 for the Champion League. This was a revision that was made in Chapter 3 Season 3, but it made the solo match more competitive in Division 7 and beyond.
