Epic Games has added numerous amazing features to Fortnite over the past few years. While many players are nostalgic and want to play Chapter 1 once again, the truth is that the game is much better now. Furthermore, the game developer will keep improving it and adding new features.
According to a recent leak, Epic is working on adding new rewards to the video game. More specifically, players will be able to earn different tiers of umbrellas starting next Fortnite season. This is something players have been asking for since the game came out, and it’s finally coming.
Here’s everything you need to know about it.
Players have asked for this Fortnite feature for many years
When Fortnite Battle Royale just came out, it didn’t have many cosmetic items. In fact, it didn’t have any cosmetics in its first few weeks. Epic Games then released the Fortnitemares event and the first-ever Item Shop, adding many fantastic skins to the game.
On top of this, players received a new umbrella for winning their first game of the season. However, the community asked Epic to add different colors of umbrellas for multiple wins. This suggestion went viral in the first season of the video game and is one of the most popular posts on Fortnite’s subreddit.
According to Hypex, the most popular Fortnite leaker, the game developer is working on adding this feature next season. New umbrellas will be available in the Ranked mode and will likely be obtainable by completing special quests.
Here are all the new rewards Epic is working on:
- Silver Glider
- Gold Umbrella
- Platinum Glider
- Diamond Umbrella
- Elite Glider
- Champion Umbrella & Glider
- Unreal Glider
The upcoming Fortnite feature will likely increase the popularity of the Ranked mode. Earning Unreal Glider will be a badge of honor for the most talented players, which is why many of them will try to earn it as quickly as possible.
