If you’re a fan of Marvel characters in Fortnite, you’ll be interested in knowing how you’ll get the chance to unlock Gamora from the Guardians of the Galaxy completely free of charge.
First teased the morning of August 9, Gamora was quickly revealed to be coming to the game and the way to get her for free is a very familiar one.
There will be a Duos tournament, similar to how Cammy was just unlocked, and it’ll reward the skin to the best of the best who compete. Not just anybody will be able to come away with the reward, so let’s take a look at how the tournament plays out.
Let’s first start with the format and how the scoring system works for the August 11 tournament.
Gamora Cup Scoring System
The deadliest woman in the galaxy is arriving to help tackle the alien threat.
Gamora from @Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is coming to the Island. Read about her cosmetic set along with the upcoming Gamora Cup where you can win her Outfit early!
As with every other skin cup like this, the scoring system values placements above all. Eliminations will give you a point each, so you won’t want to forget about those, but staying alive does seem to be the most important thing for you to do.
Here’s the full breakdown:
- Victory Royale: 42 Points
- 2nd: 36 Points
- 3rd: 32 Points
- 4th: 30 Points
- 5th: 29 Points
- 6th: 28 Points
- 7th: 27 Points
- 8th: 26 Points
- 9th: 25 Points
- 10th: 24 Points
- 11th: 23 Points
- 12th: 22 Points
- 13th: 21 Points
- 14th: 20 Points
- 15th: 19 Points
- 16th: 18 Points
- 17th: 17 Points
- 18th: 16 Points
- 19th: 15 Points
- 20th: 14 Points
- 21st: 13 Points
- 22nd: 12 Points
- 23rd: 11 Points
- 24th: 10 Points
- 25th-29th: 9 Points
- 30th-34th: 6 Points
- 35th-39th: 3 Points
- 40th-44th: 2 Points
- 45th-50th: 1 Point
- Each Elimination: 1 Point
In order to compete, you’ll need to make sure you have 2-factor authentication on your account and you’ll have to have an account level of at least 30. Unlike tournaments like the FNCS, your Arena points won’t matter here, so anybody who wants to compete can do so.
Now that all of this is out of the way, it might be helpful to know where your duo will have to place to come away with the grand prize. This will vary depending on your region, so let’s take a look at that.
How to Get Rewards
With 10 games to compete in over a three hour window, there’s more than enough time for players to rack up points, but the amount needed will differ from region to region.
For example, Europe rewards more players with the skins, but it also has a massive playerbase there. Here’s how it’ll all shake out:
Europe
- 1st – 2,500th “Gamora” In-Game Cosmetic Outfit and Back Bling
- 8 Points Earned “Daughter of Thanos” In-Game Cosmetic Spray
NA East
- 1st – 1,250th “Gamora” In-Game Cosmetic Outfit and Back Bling

Middle East

You’ll need to check your in-game Compete tab for a look at when your particular region starts the tournament.
Good luck to anybody who is competing! If you don’t come away with the big prize, you’ll still be able to pick up the Gamora bundle in the Item Shop beginning August 14.
