Fortnite‘s competitive scene is riddled with rewards for those who are willing to try their hand at winning. Getting a top placement in a Fortnite tournament usually means that players will receive free cosmetics – sometimes even before they hit the Item Shop – or a cash prize.

Players can earn in-game and physical rewards by participating in the Fortnite Showdown Global Leader Challenge – here’s how to join this web event.

The next cosmetic that Fortnite players can claim for free is the Barricade cosmetic set alongside a new glider, and this guide tells them how they can do just that.

The Barricade cosmetics set is being given away as part of this season’s Ranked Cups. This means that the tournament will happen several times during Chapter 7 Season 2, giving gamers plenty of chances to participate and attempt to obtain these free items.

The first duos ranked tournament that is taking place is the Duos Ranked Cup (Reload), which will have several rounds over the next few weeks. Players can get the free Barricade skin and set by entering the Duos Ranked Cup (Reload) on Saturday, March 21, and being among the top players in the Platinum rank or higher in their region.

*The prize information reveals that gamers should win the New Seven ‘Brella glider for being well placed. However, it is likely that this is an error. The New Seven ‘Brella is the Chapter 7 Season 2 Victory Umbrella, so many fans have already obtained it. Plus, the tournament’s description claims that players have a chance to win the Tech Projection glider, not the New Seven ‘Brella.
