Daredevil is arriving in Fortnite, and those who are skilled enough will be able to unlock free early access to the skin. Fortnite players will need to place well in the Daredevil Cup in order to be the first to become the defender of Hell's Kitchen.
The Daredevil Cup takes place on October 14, and is the first of four cups, which Fortnite is calling the Marvel Knockout Super Series. These cups will conclude with a one million dollar tournament on November 21, meaning a ton of Marvel-Fortnite action coming up between the cup series and the impending arrival of Galactus.
The Marvel Knockout LTM is the only available mode in the Daredevil Cup. This mode is a spin on Operation: Knockout that pits trios of superpower-equipped players against each other through four rounds. Each round Fortnite players will do battle against opponents with a new set of mirrored abilities. Teams will have to place high in the tournament if they want first dibs on The Man Without Fear in a new video game, since Daredevil's own game was canceled. Here's a breakdown of the rank needed to qualify for the free Marvel skin:
Daredevil Cup Placement Required for Daredevil Skin
- Europe: 1st - 800th
- NA West: 1st - 200th
- NA East: 1st - 500th
- Brazil: 1st - 200th
- Asia: 1st - 100th
- Oceania: 1st - 100th
- Middle East: 1st - 100th
Fortnite has stated that all members of qualifying trios will be awarded the Daredevil skin. This amounts to thousands of free Daredevils. Getting this skin still won't be an easy task however, once the thousands of teams likely to enter are considered. Trios who do place well enough will then be able to access the skin once the cup has ended. Even if players don't do well, anyone participating in all four cups will receive an exclusive Nexus War Glider. Details regarding the remaining three cups will be announced in November, shortly after the recently leaked Fortnitemares 2020 event.
The Marvel Knockout Super Series looks to be an interesting way to see who has really been practicing with superpowers, and how they'll be used in a team format. It'll be exciting to see what other Marvel characters show up in-game next. Fortnite is gearing up to bring Season Four to an exciting conclusion. Plus there's free cosmetics just for participating. For those burnt out on the Battle Royale title, Epic Games has added two more free games to their online store.
Fortnite is available now on the Epic Games Store, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are currently in development.
