Fortnite Victory Crown!<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"&quot;im-image-caption&quot;\"> <i>Epic Games<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<p>A Victory Crown in Fortnite is a shiny golden crown that is given to players who finish near the top in a match of battle-royale.<\/p>\n<p>If you do earn a Victory Crown, your avatar will be wearing it in the next match, which will make you a target for other players.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that it\u2019s also possible to\u00a0<em>steal\u00a0<\/em>a Victory Crown off another player, hence why you\u2019re such a target if you\u2019re wearing one.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to get a Victory Crown in Fortnite<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With a name like a Victory Crown, you will likely think you\u2019ll need to win a game outright to be gifted with one \u2013 but that is not the case!<\/p>\n<p>You just need to come close to winning (or steal one off another player by defeating them in the game), which certainly makes it easier than coming 1st place out of 100 people.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on which mode you\u2019re playing, this is where you need to rank to get a Victory Crown in Fortnite without partaking in any theft:<\/p>\n<ul><li><strong>Solo<\/strong>:\u00a0 Finish in the top four players<\/li>\n<li><strong>Duos<\/strong>: Finish in the top two teams.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trios<\/strong>: Finish in the top team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Squads<\/strong>: Finish in the top team.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>You will be notified when you get one and the shiny gold crown will be placed on your character\u2019s head in the next game that you play. Your player name will also be in gold too so you can brag away to your heart\u2019s content that you placed highly in a previous match.<\/p> <h2><strong>What does the Victory Crown do in Fortnite?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned, the crown goes on your head (standard crown usage) and it will be a bright gold colour alongside your player name. Victory Crowns are great for bragging rights, but they come fraught with their own dangers.<\/p>\n<p>Victory Crowns don\u2019t give you any special powers, per se, but they do mean you get bonus XP throughout the time that you\u2019re wearing the crown. When it comes to working through the Fortnite Chapter 3 Battle Pass, that could come in very handy.<\/p>\n<p>Being lit up in gold makes you a bright target for other players who will want to get hold of your crown \u2013 so you will need to have your wits about you more than usual when you wear one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discover more with Fortnite creative map codes: <\/strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-horror-scary-map-codes-guide\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite horror maps<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-map-codes-action-adventure-creative-codes-best-creative-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite action-adventure maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-hide-and-seek-creative-map-codes-april-2021-best-map-codes-this-month\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite hide and seek maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-fortnite-zone-wars-creative-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Zone Wars maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-fighting-creative-map-codes-best\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite fighting maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-parkour-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite parkour maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-fortnite-creative-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">best Fortnite creative maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/squid-game-fortnite-map-code\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Squid Game map codes<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-monopoly-code-back-blings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Monopoly code<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/im-a-celebrity-itv-fortnite\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite I\u2019m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here code<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest insights.
