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

Fortnite's new "Reload" mode brings back classic locations and weapons with a modern twist. This fast-paced mode throws 40 players onto a smaller map featuring nostalgic locations like Tilted Towers and Retail Row.

What Makes Reload Mode Unique?

Reload mode emphasizes squad survival. A full squad wipe means elimination; there are no respawns. The mode is playable in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes. Vehicles are absent, but players can find a variety of unvaulted weapons, including fan favorites like the Revolver, Tactical Shotgun, Lever Action Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and Grappler.

Victory Crowns remain a feature. Rebooted players return with a common Assault Rifle (and building materials in Build mode). A Reboot Timer, starting at 30 seconds and increasing to 40, adds tension. Eliminating enemies reduces this timer. Players can also choose to immediately initiate their reboot.

Elimination and Strategy

Eliminated players drop Small Shield Potions, ammo, and building materials (in Build mode), encouraging continued engagement and resourcefulness.

Rewards and Challenges

The Reload mode includes introductory 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 unlocks The Rezzbrella Glider.

See the Action!
