Fortnite Drops Reload Mode, Bringing Back Classic Guns and Iconic Maps!

Fortnite's new "Reload" mode throws players back to classic maps with a modern twist! This fast-paced mode pits 40 players on a smaller map packed with iconic locations from past seasons, bringing back the nostalgic feel of earlier Fortnite.

What's in Reload Mode?

Reload mode offers a unique twist on the battle royale formula: squad wipes are permanent. If your whole team is eliminated, it's game over. This high-stakes gameplay applies to both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

The action takes place on a compact island featuring fan-favorite locations like Tilted Towers and Retail Row. Vehicles are absent, but the loot pool is bursting with unvaulted weapons, including the Revolver, Tactical Shotgun, Lever Action Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and Grappler.

Victory Crowns remain, and upon reboot, players return with a common Assault Rifle (and building materials in Build mode). A dynamic Reboot Timer, starting at 30 seconds and increasing to 40, adds to the intensity. Eliminating enemies reduces this timer. Players can also choose immediate reboot.

Elimination and Strategy

Eliminated players drop Small Shield Potions, ammo, and building materials (in Build mode), keeping the fight intense and resource-driven.

Rewards and Challenges

Reload mode features introductory quests offering substantial XP rewards. Complete three quests for the Digital Dogfight Contrail, six for the Pool Cubes Wrap, nine for the NaNa Bath Back Bling, and a Victory Royale unlocks The Rezzbrella Glider.
