The Rarest Banner In Fortnite
By BRITTANY ALVA
In “Fortnite,” banners are icons that are displayed during matchmaking and on Banner Brigades in the game. Whether from special game modes, collaborations with groups in the past, or just older battle passes, there are plenty of rare banners that are a treat to see in a match, but there’s one that is almost guaranteed to be the rarest overall.
A select few have been playing “Fortnite” since the earliest days possible, and the Alpha Tester banner — which features a triangle with a lightning bolt down the middle and can be upgraded 10 times — is one way to spot such players. According to many players, the renditions of this banner are considered the rarest ones in “Fortnite.”
Part of this is because the game wasn’t a guaranteed success –- Epic Games hadn’t developed a game that saw anywhere near the success that “Fortnite” did, and the battle royale genre hadn’t taken off yet. While the title became popular pretty quickly, there weren’t millions of people playing in the alpha and investing time in the title.
