Fortnite Reload Is a New Mode With a New Map, Endless Revives, Classic Elements, and No Vehicles

Fortnite is launching a new mode today, June 22, called Fortnite Reload that features a new map, a ton of classic weapons and locations, endless revives as long as one player on a team remains alive, and no vehicles.

As detailed by The Fortnite Team, Fortnite Reload is a 40-player “Fill or No Fill Squads'” experience on a “tighter map” with such POIs as Tilted Towers and Retail Row, and players will be able to return to the action much quicker than other modes.

When a player is downed, their individual reboot timer begins and will keep running as long as one other team member is alive. Reboot timers begin at 30 seconds and increase to 40 seconds later in a match, and teammates can decrease the time until their friends return by downing an opponent (-2 seconds), eliminating a player (-4 seconds), and wiping a whole squad (-10 seconds).

While it will be great to have your teammates returning left and right, it is important to note that reboots will end towards the closing moments of a match, so be sure to never get too comfortable with your aggressive tactics.

Alongside all these reboots, a handful of unvaulted loot will be joining the fun of Fortnite Reload at launch, including the Revolver, Tactical Shotgun, Lever Action Shotgun, OG Heavy Shotgun, Tactical Submachine Gun, Infantry Rifle, Heavy Assault Rifle, Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, Rocket Launcher, and Grappler.

Victory Crowns can still be earned and, when you eliminate a player, they will drop Small Shield Potions, medium ammo, light ammo, shotgun shells, and (for Build only) 50 of each building material. So yes, there will be a lot of fun and wild action to be had.

As for the rewards, Fortnite Reload has intro Quests that each reward 20,000 XP, and if you complete three you will unlock the Digital Dogfight Contrail, six will get you the Pool Cubes Wrap, and nine will net you the NaNa Bath Back Bling. Oh, and a Victory Royale will gift players The Rezzbrella Glider.

Fortnite Reload is aiming to give players a much more classic experience in Fortnite without vehicles, and yes, it can be played in both Battle Royale or Zero Build.

This is a big weekend for Fortnite, as this weekend will also see the arrival of the concert event called Metallica: Fuel. Fire. Fury., which is an interactive experience that will celebrate the music of the iconic rock band and feature six of their songs.

As if that wasn’t enough, Fortnite also recently add Lego Island star Pepper Roni, and you can visit him at the Pizza Shop in LEGO Tycoon: Tilted Towers.
