Deadly bugs have overtaken the Fortnite island, and it's up to you to rid it of these relentless pests. There's a lot you need to get done to help this cause, but one of the most important tasks is increasing your OXR Rank.
This unique gameplay system is quite unlike those that have appeared in most other seasons, so it can be a bit tricky to navigate. Understanding it is crucial for success, so here's how to increase your OXR Rank in Fortnite.

What is OXR Rank in Fortnite?
OXR Rank is a gameplay system that essentially reflects your status with the OXR group. If you played Chapter Six, season three with the Hero Rank system, you should have a solid idea of how this one works.
The OXR is a resistance group fighting against the bug invasion that has overtaken the island. It's your job to help their case, and to do so, you need to work on your OXR Rank. The higher your OXR Rank is, the better the loot you have access to. You're rewarded each time you rise to a new rank, and certain areas also become available to you once you're promoted.
How to raise OXR Rank in Fortnite
You can raise your OXR Rank by performing key gameplay tasks throughout each round. There are many different ways to increase it, but it generally goes up over time as you work on trying to win the round. All of the ways you can raise your rank are as follows.
- Eliminating enemy players
- Defeating bugs
- Looting chests
All OXR Ranks in Fortnite
There are five OXR Ranks, with each one granting you access to progressively better items and loot around the island. In each new round, you start off as a C rank. These ranks are:
- C
- B
- A
- S
- S+
OXR Rank rewards in Fortnite
Each time you rank up, an OXR Drop Pod filled with weapons, loot, and other surprises will be sent to your location. All Drop Pods are guaranteed to have one Super Soldier Boon. There are four different variants of this special Boon, and all of them can only be obtained from the OXR Rank system.
- Super Soldier Boon: Rank B – Decreases your energy consumption while sprinting.
- Super Soldier Boon: Rank A – Increases reload speed.
- Super Soldier Boon: Rank S – Decreases weapon recoil and spread.
- Super Soldier Boon: Rank S+ – Increases sprint speed and gives you unlimited energy.
The Super Soldier Boon effects stack, so each time you get a new one, you also retain the abilities of the previous ones you acquired. This means that with rank S+, you have access to four powerful buffs from these Boons.
Reaching rank A also gets you access to OXR Bunkers around the island, which are secret areas filled with powerful Exotic weapons. When you reach rank S+, an OXR Drop Pod containing a Mythic weapon will be sent to you.
If you want to feel like a true member of the OXR, be sure to work on unlocking all battle pass rewards. There are some iconic characters who are part of this organization featured on it, so if you unlock them, you can play as one of the official characters who are part of it.
