Fortnite Events Tab Introduces In-Game Tournaments for Players in Every Region
Fortnite’s latest update, version 6.10, has introduced a new Events tab that brings in-game tournaments to players across all platforms. Regardless of the platform you play Fortnite on, you now have the opportunity to participate in matches through this new system.
The goals that players must achieve in order to earn points are similar to those in Fortnite competitions. The more opponents you eliminate and the higher you place in a match, the more points you will earn.
Several in-game tournaments will be available for players. Currently, the daily Alpha Tournament and the weekly Friday Night Fortnite are the main tournaments taking place this week.
If you perform exceptionally well in any event session, you will be awarded an exclusive pin.
Understanding Pins
A pin is a symbol that players earn for their outstanding performance in a Fortnite in-game event. Different tournaments award different pins, and the difficulty of earning each pin may vary.
Epic Games has stated that these pins will be used to qualify players for future, more competitive in-game tournaments.
How to Earn a Pin
To earn a tournament pin, players must reach a certain number of points in a single event session. A session includes all the matches a player plays in a single day of an event. For example, in the daily Alpha Tournament, each day consists of a three-hour session that awards players with a new pin.
Players can earn points in each match by completing various goals. Each goal is worth one point, and there are currently six goals per match. Points carry over to the next match within the same session, but reset once the session is over.
The specific goals and point requirements may vary depending on whether the tournament is Solo, Duos, or Squads. The number of points needed to unlock a pin also differs.
