Fortnite has just launched a new Reload mode that masterfully combines classic nostalgia with a modern gameplay feel. This mode pits 40 players against each other on a compact map filled with iconic locations from the game's history.
What Can You Expect from Fortnite's Reload Mode?
If you're curious about how this mode functions, it allows your squad to make dramatic comebacks as long as one teammate remains alive. However, if your entire squad is eliminated, the match ends for you—there are no respawns. Ultimately, this mode challenges you to be the final surviving squad, regardless of whether you prefer standard Battle Royale or Zero Build gameplay.
The Reload mode takes place on a smaller island within Fortnite, showcasing beloved spots such as Tilted Towers and Retail Row. While drivable vehicles have been removed, the loot pool is excitingly refreshed with a selection of unvaulted weapons. You'll encounter and can collect returning favorites like the Revolver, Tactical Shotgun, Lever Action Shotgun, and even the powerful Rocket Launcher and Grappler.
Victory Crowns remain part of the experience. After you are rebooted, you'll return to the fight with a common Assault Rifle and some wood resources in Build mode. The intensity is further heightened by the Reboot Timer, which begins at 30 seconds and increases to 40 seconds as the match progresses. You and your teammates can reduce this timer by eliminating opponents. If you are downed, you have the option to initiate your reboot immediately.
What Happens After Elimination
Your strategy continues even after you're eliminated. When defeated, you'll drop Small Shield Potions, various types of ammunition, and 50 units of each building material in Build mode. This mechanics ensures that the battlefield stays dynamic and encourages resourcefulness among remaining players.
To reward your efforts, the introductory quests for Fortnite's Reload mode provide substantial XP boosts. Complete three quests to earn the Digital Dogfight Contrail, finish six to unlock the Pool Cubes Wrap, and complete nine to receive the NaNa Bath Back Bling. Achieve a Victory Royale, and you'll be awarded The Rezzbrella Glider.
