Blitz Royale: fast, furious, and now permanent
If you blinked and missed Blitz Royale the first time, dont worry its sticking around. This condensed version of Fortnite tosses you into chaos quicker: you land, youre armed, theres less scavenging, and fewer opponents to turn into loot pinatas. In short, its the espresso shot of Battle Royale modes — jittery, intense, and oddly satisfying.
How to get the Wings of Renown emote
Want a sparkly brag tool that screams “I win sometimes”? Enter the Wings of Renown. Epic Games is handing this emote out to Blitz Royale players for free. To unlock it, all you need to do is snag a victory in Blitz Royale — a single win is enough to earn the emote and show off your holographic wings to everyone who dares spectate your victory dance.
Wings of Renown tiers explained
The Wings of Renown dont just sit there and look pretty: they change color based on how many win credits youve racked up. Think of it as a tiny leaderboard you can wear. The tiers break down like this: the Rare version corresponds to Tier 1 and only needs 1 win credit, the Epic version is Tier 2 and requires 5 win credits, and the Legendary Tier 3 is the mystery boss. Epic Games hasnt officially revealed the requirement for Tier 3, but data miners say you might need an eye-watering amount (rumored around 750 win credits) to gild your wings like a true champion.
How win credits work (and a cheeky little bonus)
Win credits are basically a counter that tracks Blitz Royale victories — get wins, level up your wing color. Theres also a friendly daily nudge: your first Blitz Royale win each day grants an extra win credit. So if youre the kind of person who likes routine, you can slowly climb the tiers just by showing up daily and clutching a win now and then.
Quick tips and final thoughts
Play smart, not just loud: drop where you can survive the opening chaos, treat the mode like a sprint not a marathon, and chase those early fights you know you can win. Whether youre flexing Rare wings after your first Blitz clutch or grinding toward that mythical Legendary glow, the Wings of Renown are a fun little ego boost. Go get those wings — and try not to trip over them while dancing.
