While this may not be a Cash Cup, there are plenty of rewards to be won. Three have been officially listed by Epic Games. Here's what you can expect to win, and have many of points you'll need to win them. Here is the list:

• Natural 20 (Emote) - 8 Points
• Creel's Clock (Back Bling) - Top 425 players (per region)
• Vecna (Outfit) - Top 425 players (per region)

If you're unable to secure enough points, there's no need to worry, as you will be able to purchase the cosmetics from the Fortnite Item Shop when the collaboration officially goes live to the public. You'll need to spend V-Bucks to get them, but if you're a fan of the show, it's not a bad investment.

That's everything you need to know about the Fortnite Stranger Things Cup. If you want to get the Vecna (Outfit) early, here is your chance to do so. The competition will be tough, so give it your best.
