Fortnite's new "Reload" mode throws players back to the game's roots with a modern twist. This fast-paced mode features 40 players battling 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 teammate remains, your squad has a chance to return to the fight. A full squad wipe, however, means instant elimination. This high-stakes gameplay applies to both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

The compact map eliminates drivable vehicles but compensates with a diverse selection of unvaulted weapons, including fan favorites like the Revolver, Tactical Shotgun, Lever Action Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, and Grappler.

Victory Crowns remain a key objective. Reboots are possible, granting players a common Assault Rifle (and building materials in Build mode) upon return. The Reboot Timer adds another layer of intensity, starting at 30 seconds and increasing to 40 seconds as the match progresses. Eliminating enemies reduces this timer. Players can also choose to initiate their reboot immediately.

Elimination and Strategy

Eliminated players strategically drop Small Shield Potions, various ammo types, and 50 of each building material (in Build mode), keeping the battle intense and resource-driven.

Rewarding Challenges

Reload mode introduces engaging intro quests with 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.
