Epic Games To Launch Fortnite Reload Later Today

Epic Games will launch the new Fortnite Reload mode today, whicvh is basically their version of the classic way to play the game.

Epic Games announced they will launch a brand new Fortnite mode today, as we'll be getting Fortnite Reload later this afternoon. The shorthand about this particular mode is that this is the company's way of launching a classic version of Fortnite. The difference is you have a new map to play on, so it's not the classic island from back in 2018. But for what it's worth, that's about where the originality stops, as you're getting classic weapons, classic gameplay, and some classic locations on the map. The mode will have 40 players in four-player squads where, if eliminated, you can reboot as long as one member of the team is alive. Once you're all eliminated, you're done. What's more, the Storm moves faster, so you'll be seeing each other sooner than expected. We have more dev notes below from the latest blog, as the mode will launch at 2pm ET today.

Fortnite Reload

In this Fill or No Fill Squads experience, it can pay to go for aggressive plays when there's an automatic reboot just around the corner. If the rest of the team's down, a lone squaddie needs to keep their head on a swivel, as staying in the game depends on their survival! Here's how it works:

• When eliminated, a player's individual reboot timer starts. The player reboots at the end of the timer!
• Reboot timers begin at 30 seconds and scale up to 40 seconds later in the match.
• Remaining teammates can reduce reboot timers by 2 seconds by downing an opponent, 4 seconds by eliminating one, and 10 seconds by wiping an opposing squad.
• When downed, players can opt to start their reboot timer right away instead of waiting for a revive.
• Towards the end of the match, reboots will stop, meaning lost teammates will no longer return.

Déjà Boot Déjà Loot

The Tactical Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, and Lever Action Shotgun are a few of the weapons you'll see in Reload. This compact island is easy to traverse on foot, so there are no drivable vehicles, but you will find a medley of unvaulted loot. Here's just a handful of items returning for Reload at launch:

• Revolver
• Tactical Shotgun
• Lever Action Shotgun
• OG Heavy Shotgun
• Tactical Submachine Gun
• Infantry Rifle
• Heavy Assault Rifle
• Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle
• Rocket Launcher
• Grappler

Victory Crowns can be earned in Reload and function the same way as they do in normal Battle Royale or Zero Build. When rebooted, you'll have a common Assault Rifle and (for Build only) 100 wood. On elimination, players drop Small Shield Potions, medium ammo, light ammo, shotgun shells, and (for Build only) 50 of each building material. This is in addition to their entire inventory — stay strapped!

Reload Rewards

Fortnite Reload has intro Quests rewarding 20,000 XP each. Complete three to unlock the Digital Dogfight Contrail, six for the Pool Cubes Wrap, and nine to get the NaNa Bath Back Bling! Avoid all accusations of having no chill. If you bag a Victory Royale, you'll snag The Rezzbrella Glider! No matter how many times you reboot, keep strengthening your rez-olve.
