Fortnite fans have been hit by a wave of new content with the release of Fortnite's Season 6 Chapter 3: Super. This new update included superhero-themed locations that will coexist with the Star Wars locations.
Additionally, Fortnite also released new items based on superpowers, as well as superhero uniforms and a brand-new Super Battle Pass. If that wasn't enough, Season 4 was launched on Fortnite OG. So, yeah, June 7, 2025, was a great day for Fortnite fans!
However, there's something that has confused Fortnite fans a bit, and that's Hero Ranks. This is a completely different concept, and it will be crucial to master it to succeed in Fortnite in the upcoming weeks. So, here's everything you need to know about Fortnite Super's Hero Ranks:
What Hero Ranks are included in Fortnite Super?
Fortnite Super includes six Hero Ranks in C, B, A, S, and S+. Every time a player ranks up, they will receive 100 Effective Health.
Each Hero Rank gives players access to a Hero Cache. These are the Hero Caches included in each rank:
Rank C Hero Cache
- Uncommon-rarity weapon
- Uncommon-rarity consumable
- Possibly a Boon!
Rank B Hero Cache
- Rare-rarity weapon
- Rare-rarity consumable
- High chance of a Boon
- Hero Item
Rank A Hero Cache
- Epic-rarity weapon
- Epic-rarity consumable
- Guaranteed Boon
- Hero Item
Rank S Hero Cache
- Legendary-rarity weapon
- Legendary-rarity consumable
- Guaranteed Boon
- Hero Item
Unfortunately, Rank S+ doesn't include a Hero Cache. However, players who reach the top Hero Rank will reach their final form and receive all the boons they were missing.
How can players upgrade their Hero Ranks in Fortnite Super?
Fortnite players can upgrade their Hero Ranks by performing heroic deeds on the map, including eliminating enemy players, surviving storm phases, taking a Sprite to a Shrine, and eliminating henchmen.
Overall, the Hero Rank system in Fortnite encourages players to get into trouble, to not avoid action, and, of course, survive on the arena. If you play passively and you don't eliminate enemy players or henchmen, it will be difficult for you to upgrade your Hero Rank.
What can I do with my Hero Rank?
Your Fortnite Hero Rank won't only make you stronger but also allow you to get better Hero Items in Supernova Academy's Academy Tech Lab.
Supernova Academy's Academy Tech Lab is a place in the Fortnite map that allows players to access different rooms. However, they will only have access to these rooms based on their Hero Rank. So, if your Hero Rank is A, you won't have access to the S and S+ rooms.
Fortnite has already revealed that more Academy Tech Labs will be introduced to Fortnite's map as the season develops.
