Tournament Details
The Galaxy Cup 2.0 is a solo competition and Fortnite ’s first Arsenal LTM. According to the Fortnite team, this mode was chosen because of its popularity when it comes to the mobile community and the tight match length.
In Arsenal, all players start with the same weapon. Each time a player can eliminate another, and they are given a weapon with lesser power upon winning. The first player to go through all weapons claims the Victory Royale. For this Cup, each elimination is rewarded with one point while Victory Royale gives seven points. Plus, simply playing in a match earns one point. The event lasts for about three hours and players can join a maximum of 25 matches.
