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

Fortnite's new "Reload" mode is a nostalgic blast from the past with a modern twist! This fast-paced mode throws 40 players onto a smaller map packed with iconic locations from Fortnite's history, bringing back the thrill of classic battles.

What Makes Reload Mode Unique?

Reload mode offers a unique comeback mechanic: as long as one teammate remains, your squad has a chance to return to the fight. A complete squad wipe, however, means the game is over. This high-stakes gameplay applies to both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

The action takes place on a compact island featuring beloved locations like Tilted Towers and Retail Row. While drivable vehicles are absent, the map is brimming with unvaulted weapons, including fan 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 (plus building materials in Build mode). The Reboot Timer adds another layer of intensity, starting at 30 seconds and increasing to 40 as the match progresses. Eliminating enemies reduces this timer, and downed players can choose to initiate their reboot immediately.

Elimination and Rewards

Elimination isn't just about defeat; it's a strategic opportunity. Fallen players drop Small Shield Potions, assorted ammo, and 50 of each building material (in Build mode), keeping the battle intense and resource-driven.

Reload mode also features rewarding intro quests. Complete three quests to earn the Digital Dogfight Contrail, six for the Pool Cubes Wrap, and nine for the NaNa Bath Back Bling. Securing a Victory Royale unlocks The Rezzbrella Glider.
