Right, so here’s the situation. You’ve got one week. Two massive games. 50,000 in-game currency up for grabs. And over a thousand people walking away with rewards just for doing what they’d probably be doing anyway.
The Two Kings Challenge drops November 20th and runs through the 26th. It’s basically asking you to choose your kingdom: are you building and blasting your way through Fortnite’s battle royale chaos, or are you the tactical type who’d rather clutch a 1v5 in Valorant?
What You’re Actually Playing For
Two grand prize winners each snag 50,000 in their game’s currency. That’s 50,000 V-Bucks if you’re in the Fortnite camp, or 50,000 Riot Points if you’re holding it down in Riot’s shooter. Not too shabby for a week’s worth of gaming.
But here’s where it gets properly interesting. The first 500 people to complete all challenges in each game bank 500 Buff Points. That’s a thousand winners total. Which means your odds are considerably better than your average raffle where you’re competing with everyone and their nan.
The Fortnite Route
Hit top 10 in five matches. Fair enough. Rack up 40 eliminations total. Survive past the 10-minute mark in five separate games. Clock 150 minutes of playtime overall.
Nothing particularly exotic there. If you’re already dropping into matches regularly, you’re probably halfway done without even trying. The top 10 requirement is the only one that might take some actual effort, but even that’s not asking you to win every game.
The Valorant Path
Win 15 matches. Complete 30 matches total. Hit 300 eliminations. Assist your team 130 times.
Right off the bat, you can see Riot’s game demands more time investment. Thirty matches is thirty matches, doesn’t matter if you’re winning or getting absolutely demolished. But that’s sort of the point. You’re rewarded for showing up and grinding it out.
The assist requirement is a nice touch. Forces you to actually play with your team instead of going full lone wolf and wondering why you’re hardstuck in Silver.
How BUFF Fits Into This
Here’s where Buff comes in properly handy. The whole challenge runs through their platform, which tracks everything automatically. Download the app, sign in, click the Two Kings Challenge icon, and you’re sorted. No manual submissions, no screenshots, no “prove you did the thing” nonsense.
Your progress updates in real time. Want to see exactly how many eliminations you’ve got or whether you’re on track for those top 10 finishes? It’s all there in the app. Makes the whole thing considerably less faff than most gaming challenges.
And those Buff Points you pick up? They’re not just placeholder rewards. You can actually use them for stuff. Gift cards, gaming peripherals, that sort of thing. Which beats a participation certificate and a pat on the head.
The Eligibility Bit
This one’s for UK and US players only. You need to be 18 or over (or whatever counts as legal age where you live). Pretty standard stuff, really.
You can enter both challenges if you’re feeling ambitious. They’re separate prize pools, so smashing Fortnite doesn’t disqualify you from the Valorant side. Though good luck finding the time to grind both properly in a week.
Should You Actually Bother?
Look, if you’re already playing either game regularly, this is basically free money potential. The challenges aren’t asking you to do anything particularly unnatural. Win some matches. Get some kills. Play the game.
The time commitment for Valorant is steeper, no question. Thirty matches in a week means you’re looking at roughly four matches a day. More if you want wiggle room for the inevitable losing streak. Fortnite’s requirements are more casual-friendly since total playtime is only 150 minutes.
But 1,000 Buff Points winners plus two 50,000 currency grand prizes? That’s actual value for time spent gaming. Not earth-shattering money, but considerably better than the usual “exposure” and “community engagement” most gaming challenges offer.
The Week Ahead
One week. Two games. Pick your battlefield, track it through Buff, and see where you land. The grand prize is a raffle, so you need at least one completed challenge to get in the draw. But those Buff Points are first-come, first-served for anyone who finishes all four challenges in their game.
Competition’s likely to be stiff for those top 500 spots. But here’s the thing about limited-time challenges: most people start strong and peter out by day three. If you’re consistent throughout the week rather than trying to smash everything in one weekend session, you’re already ahead of a decent chunk of the field.
November 20-26. Mark it down. Or don’t. Your call really.
