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

Fortnite's new Reload mode throws players back to the game's roots with a modern twist. This nostalgic experience packs 40 players onto a smaller map featuring iconic locations like Tilted Towers and Retail Row from past seasons.

What's in Fortnite's Reload Mode?

Reload mode offers a unique squad-based experience where the game only ends when your entire squad is eliminated. There are no second chances for individual players. This high-stakes gameplay applies to both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

The compact island features a curated selection of unvaulted weapons, bringing back fan favorites like the Revolver, Tactical Shotgun, Lever Action Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and Grappler. Vehicles are absent, focusing the action on intense close-quarters combat.

Victory Crowns remain a key objective. Rebooted players return with a common Assault Rifle (and building materials in Build mode). The Reboot Timer adds another layer of strategy, starting at 30 seconds and increasing to 40 seconds as the match progresses. Eliminating enemies reduces this timer, allowing for quicker revivals. Players can also choose to instantly start their reboot.

Elimination and Resources

Eliminated players drop Small Shield Potions, assorted ammo, and 50 of each building material (in Build mode), keeping the battle dynamic and resource-driven.

The Reload mode also features intro quests offering substantial XP rewards. Completing three quests unlocks the Digital Dogfight Contrail, six unlocks the Pool Cubes Wrap, and nine unlocks the NaNa Bath Back Bling. A Victory Royale rewards players with The Rezzbrella Glider.
