Seasons come and go in Fortnite, and with each season comes a fresh wave of gripping events, challenges, and perplexing issues. One such matter that has recently stirred the Fortnite hive is the issue of the ‘High Society Ranker’.

Summary:

  • A player’s account of being unable to unlock new styles despite being Platinum III.
  • Consideration of whether it is a season-end unlock or a bug.
  • An apparent contradiction between achievements in the game and the rewards received.

Discussing the Issue

When ‘UwuMakiUxhiha’ shared his predicament asking, “Do i unlock these styles at the end of the season or is it because I participated in the Bronze version of the cup?”, members of the community were quick to step in. ‘LightyShinane’ hinted at the possibility of a bug with “I participate at a gold cup (Zero Build) and got the same.”, while ‘HotBroccoliSauce’ closed the door on both accounts with a terse “No and no”.

Bug or Glitch?

‘oculare’ enlightened everyone on the impasse by stating that no one had successfully unlocked the promised styles, attributing it to “some kind of bug with the entire glider.” Meanwhile, ‘Strong_hold04’ showed a spark of optimism asking, “Can I still get this?” It’s entertaining to note ‘ProfessoriSepi’s’ comfortable resignation on missing out on the glitch with “Now that I saw this, I’m good. Good post tho.”

Community Reaction and Hope

The Fortnite community has proven time and again that it is the lifeline and constructive critic the game developers need. This spirited exchange proves that point yet again. ‘AvAILShotZ’ expresses his frustration in simplified terms, “I did zb plat and only got the bronze version of the glider??” ‘n0name010’ echoes a similar sentiment, adding that there is “no word from epic yet” and suggests it is an easy fix. Amidst all this uncertainty several gamers have optimistically tuned in to glean updates on this Fortnite snag, eager for a solution.

Fingers crossed, the Fortnite team is taking notes. It will be intriguing to see how they resolve this ‘High Society Ranker’ enigma and reward the efforts of its enduring players.
