These rare cosmetics cannot be easily accessed by its players, because according to a post in the game's website, these are given to those who placed highly enough in a Battle Royale match.
These, according to Gamespot, include those who finished at or near towards the top of a Solo, Duos, Trios, and Squads, such like being part of the top players in the said matches, but not necessarily be on the first place.
Once they got the said top spot, and won the said item, the players who have the Victory Crowns will enter their next game while wearing them.
However, having the said crown will come with a cost, as they will be more noticeable by other players in the match they are participating because of an aura that will be emitting after wearing the Victory Crown.
Once players killed those who had the crown, according to PC Gamer the said item will be dropped as part of the ground loot, along with weapons and armor.
How to Get the Crown
In order to get the Victory Crown, players must score a top spot in a Battle Royale match in Fortnite, either being one of the top four players in Solo, one of the players in the top two teams in Duos, or one of the players in the winning team in either Trios or Squads.
Once they got the crown, according to Dual Shockers, they will be granted an additional XP boost, but they be having the aforementioned aura, making them visible to other players.
Once they have won any Battle Royale match, either Solo, Duos, Trios, or Squads, and survived while wearing the crown, they will earn an exclusive emote.
On the oher hand, if they are killed, they will lost the crown, as well as the XP boost.

Aside from the Victory Crowns, Fortnite's Season 3 Chapter 1 had also brought in other additions to the shooting game.
