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 fast-paced mode packs 40 players onto a smaller map featuring classic locations like Tilted Towers and Retail Row. Nostalgia meets high-stakes action!

What's in Reload Mode?

Reload mode offers a unique comeback mechanic: your squad can be revived as long as one member survives. A full squad wipe, however, means game over. This applies to both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

The action is intense, fueled by unvaulted weapons like the Revolver, Tactical Shotgun, Lever Action Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and Grappler. Vehicles are absent, encouraging close-quarters combat. Victory Crowns are still in play. Reboots are possible, granting players 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 pressure, though eliminating enemies reduces this time. Players can choose to initiate their reboot immediately.

Elimination and Strategy

Eliminated players drop Small Shield Potions, ammo, and building materials (in Build mode), keeping the battle resource-intensive and strategic.

Rewards and Challenges

The mode also includes intro quests offering substantial XP rewards. Complete three quests to earn the Digital Dogfight Contrail, six for the Pool Cubes Wrap, and nine for the NaNa Bath Back Bling. A Victory Royale nets you The Rezzbrella Glider.
