As part of Season Zero and in preparation for the launch of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4, Epic Games has reset every player’s Battle Royale and Zero Build rank in update v25.10. This reset won’t affect your Ranked Urgent Quest completion, although you may see a change in the appearance of your Burn Bright Emote to reflect your new rank.
In a recent Fortnite blog post, Epic Games noted that this reset “will be a test run of resetting ranks, as we would do during a Seasonal turnover, before we enter Chapter 4 Season 4 Ranked.” They also pointed out that this reset would afford them the ability to “continue iterating on our systems at a fast pace.”
Alongside this, rather than everyone starting at the bottom and determining a player’s rank based on v25.10, Epic has placed players in varying ranks depending on the rank they had at the time of the reset. This is similar to how Ranked Season resets usually work.
However, this switchover hasn’t been plain sailing for Epic Games as the FortniteStatus Twitter account noted, “We’re aware that players are not placed correctly after completing their first match after the Rank reset. We’ll let you know when we have more information.”
Multiple users have reported problems accessing the game with one player saying, “Can’t even load into a Ranked game.” Other users reported crashes when trying to load into matches on both Xbox and PlayStation. User NikproYt also pleaded for Epic to fix this issue as soon as possible saying, “I win the first game and now I am diamond 2 pls fix it.”
Whether Epic will have this problem resolved soon remains to be seen. In other Fortnite news, Fortnite fans demand DC return as Marvel collab leaks look dull. If you’re interested in giving Fortnite a go on PC be sure to check out our Best Gaming PC for Fortnite in 2023 – our top picks.
