Current reported unlock path
Earn the Base Crown with a Victory Royale, then win with Base equipped to unlock Cheat Master, win with Cheat Master equipped to unlock Gold, and win with Gold equipped to unlock Loot Hacker. Epic confirms that Crown levels through wins and that mastering Crown now correctly grants Cheat Master; the full one-win sequence comes from a September 3 secondary walkthrough and should be verified in game.

Why equipping the correct form matters
Crown is not a normal XP grind: Epic's launch notes say it can only be leveled by winning matches. The current walkthrough reports a single win with each required form, advancing it from Level 1 to its mastered state. Before queueing, check the form shown on your back and the next locked entry in the collection; a win with the wrong form may not advance the route you intended.
What Epic confirms directly
Epic's v42.10 notes say mastering Crown now correctly grants Cheat Master.
The current rendered roster contains Base, Cheat Master, Gold, and Loot Hacker Crown.
The exact one-win order is labeled as current reporting, not rewritten as an Epic patch-note quote.
Record each form without risking old progress
The tracker uses four existing Season 4 Crown IDs and stores their states locally. Open the current season, mark only the form Fortnite has actually granted, and leave the next entry unmarked until it appears in your collection. This content-only page adds no new save format, entry ID, or migration behavior.
