The Fortnite Galaxy Cup 2.0 will be a Solo tournament and the game mode will be the Arsenal LTM. All players must rank in the Open League (Division I, II, or III) or higher within Arena in their respective server region. The tournament will run for approximately 3 hours and players can take part in a maximum of 25 matches during this time. At the end of the event, the top-placing players will be eligible for the rewards.

“In Arsenal, all players start with the same powerful weapon, and eliminating a player grants a weapon of slightly lesser power. The first to make it through every weapon, from best to worst, earns the Victory Royale!”
