What Exactly is the Victory Crown?
As a player, you may have noticed that few characters wear golden llama crowns as they race through the battle royale Island. Those crowns are the new victory crowns. A victory crown gives the best players some sort of bragging rights when playing the game and distinguishes them from other players who have this crown. Those who have this crown are usually rewarded with some bonus from time to time.
How do you earn a victory crown?
Earning a victory crown is not as hard as you may think, it is easy. In fact, if you can win a match, no matter the mode of game you’re playing, you’ll be eligible to win a victory crown. Listed below are ways you can earn a victory crown:
- Solos- Four players who reach the final stage
- Duos- Players whose teams are in the top two
- Trios- Top team’s players
- Squad- Top team’s players

Immediately after the match, those who qualify for the llama crown will be shown on the result screen. From the next match, you will see the players wearing the crown. It is important to note that you can lose your crown during a match. Players can steal a crown from someone wearing it if the other player has been eliminated. When a crown drops there will be an indication on the mini-map. Players would then invade the area and try to snatch the map, because apart from getting XP, there are loads of other benefits attached to it.
What are the advantages of having a victory crown?
This crown gives players a bragging right and something to show off to other players. Also, the player’s name will be printed boldly on it with gold, thereby causing a golden halo to surround the player. You will be given more XP to kill, killstreaks, and eliminate another person who wears the crown. Aside from that, when you win a match while wearing a crown, the victory will be regarded as a Crowned Victory. This victory will open up a free emote that’ll display the number of crowned victories the player has won ever since they started playing Fortnite.
