As Chapter 6 Season 4 of Fortnite launched in 2025, the buzz was all around Shock 'N Awesome and the new patch v37.00, but I couldn't shake off the thrill of Ranked mode. With ranks reset globally, it felt like a fresh start, a clean slate where I could prove myself all over again. The air was electric with possibilities, and I knew this season wasn't just about flashy new skins—it was about grinding for those exclusive rewards only available through Ranked play. My fingers itched to jump back in, driven by the promise of the Extermination Saw pickaxe, a gleaming trophy I'd heard whispers about in the gaming community. So, I fired up my console, took a deep breath, and dove headfirst into the chaos, ready to chase down those elusive quests and make this season mine.
The moment I logged in, the Ranked Quests greeted me like old friends, but with a twist. There are only three main quests this season, but don't let that fool you—they're designed to be repeated endlessly, turning each match into a potential goldmine of progress and XP. Here's what I faced off against:
-
Earn Victory Royales in Ranked Matches: Just one win? Sounds simple, but in Ranked, it's a brutal test of skill. I remember my first attempt: I was sweating bullets in the final circle, only to get sniped from nowhere. Failure stung, but it made the eventual victory taste sweeter.
-
Place Top 10 in Ranked Matches: This one's more forgiving. I found that playing defensively, hiding in bushes or building quick forts, often got me there without a fight. It's a great way to rack up completions fast.
-
Survive Storm Circles in Ranked Matches: Surviving five circles? That became my bread and butter. Each time the storm closed in, I'd hunker down, counting the seconds. It felt like a survival horror mini-game within the battle royale.
Every time I finished one of these quests, I got a juicy 2,000 XP—nice for leveling up my battle pass—but the real magic was in the Bonus Goals. As I churned through quest after quest, I started unlocking freebies step by step. The ultimate prize? The Extermination Saw. To snag this beastly pickaxe, I need to complete a total of 50 Ranked Quests before the season wraps up. That's right, fifty! It might sound daunting, but with the quests being repeatable, I can grind them out in a few dedicated sessions. Just picturing that saw slicing through builds gets my adrenaline pumping. 
Oh, the rewards aren't just about that saw, though. As I made progress, surprises kept popping up. For instance, after my tenth quest completion, I unlocked a slick new spray for my locker. Then, at twenty, it was a vibrant banner that shows off my Ranked prowess. But here's where it gets wild: Epic Games threw in Rocket Racing car customization options as part of the Bonus Goals. Yeah, you heard that right! Completing quests now means I can pimp my ride in Rocket Racing with exclusive decals and colors—talk about cross-game synergy. It's like getting double the fun for one grind session. Sometimes, I'd be so focused on surviving the storm that I'd forget about the car rewards, only to be pleasantly shocked when they unlocked. 
Grinding these quests hasn't been all smooth sailing, though. One match stands out: I was on a hot streak, aiming for that Victory Royale, when a squad ambushed me out of nowhere. Lost it all. But hey, that's Ranked—unpredictable, heart-pounding, and utterly addictive. The repetition of quests means I can bounce back quickly; I've found that playing in short bursts, like an hour a day, nets me 5-10 completions easily. And let's not forget the XP: 2,000 per quest adds up fast, helping me blaze through the battle pass tiers. It's a win-win, really. Plus, with the season underway now in 2025, the community's buzzing, so finding squads or solo queues is a breeze. I've even made some new friends while strategizing over comms about how to survive those storm circles.
Reflecting on it all, this Ranked journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, but every quest brings me closer to that Extermination Saw. It's not just a pickaxe; it's a badge of honor for us dedicated players. So, why not join the fray? Dive into Ranked mode today, grind those quests, and let's unlock these epic rewards together before Chapter 6 Season 4 ends! 🎮💥
