Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Twitch Drops, New Hero Rank Mechanic, Free Rewards and More | Esports News

With big ambition and even bigger hallmarks of confused style, the latest Fortnite Chapter, heavily marked with superhero vibes, possesses competing mechanics and Twitch Drops that tempt all. With the conception of this Super Chapter, it looks like the return of Epic to being Double-Ons, focusing on fine-tuned fan interaction, crossovers, and gameplay layers.

Free Twitch Drops: Retropack and Nightblade Now Available

If there’s something that a Fortnite player loves more than Victory Royale, then it’s free cosmetics. They have been given the chance to bag two exclusive items via Twitch Drops between now and June 15, the Neon Retropack Back Bling and the Nightblade Pickaxe- glowing-neon orange, glowering-warrior-and-superhero style. Visually, the Retropack is retro-futuristically designed, whilst the Nightblade resembles/adorned fiery flame swords. To claim these items, the requirement is simple: You have to watch a Fortnite Twitch stream for 30 minutes and your Neon Retropack will be unlocked; add an additional 30 minutes to the 30, and the now 1-hour stream will unlock the Nightblade Pickaxe for you, all the while making sure your Epic Games account is linked with your Twitch account. The fine-looking glows go great with any outfit, paying tribute to the numbingly fast action and comic book styling featured throughout this season.

Hero Rank System

Perhaps the most game-changing addition this season is the Hero Rank system. It’s not about surviving anymore, it’s proving yourself.At the start of a match, every player begins at Hero Rank C. As the game progresses, you can rank up by:

• Eliminating enemies
• Defeating henchmen
• Surviving storm circles
• Completing map objectives, such as returning sprites to shrines

These actions will boost your rank from C to B, then to A, and finally S—each step granting access to Hero Caches, which are special chests with better loot scores. These caches create map control and reward momentum, rewarding aggressive and intelligent gameplay.The system makes Fortnite feel more like an evolving battle—a way to power up through the match which aligns more with the superhero narrative this season is pushing.

Mobile Return & Free Burnoff Skin

With Fortnite relaunching on iOS platforms in the U.S., Epic is celebrating by liberating the Burnoff skin for free. Simply log in via a mobile device, be it iOS or Android, and the skin will appear in your locker. This is set in movement to bring Fortnite back on mobile in an even bigger and easier way.
