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 pits 40 players on a smaller map packed with classic locations like Tilted Towers and Retail Row.

What Makes Reload Mode Unique?

Reload mode offers a thrilling comeback mechanic: as long as one squad member survives, the team has a chance to return. A full squad wipe, however, means immediate elimination. This high-stakes gameplay applies to both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

The mode features a compact island, eschewing vehicles but boasting a diverse selection of unvaulted weapons. Expect to find old favorites like the Revolver, Tactical Shotgun, Lever Action Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and Grappler.

Victory Crowns remain a key element. Rebooted players return with a common Assault Rifle (and building materials in Build mode). The Reboot Timer adds intensity, starting at 30 seconds and increasing to 40, but can be reduced by eliminating opponents. Players can also 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 dynamic and resource-driven.

Rewards and Challenges

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