Reload also features a variety of classic weapons and locations for players to check out, including everybody’s favourite drop spot, Tilted Towers. As for weapons, you’ll find the likes of the Tactical Shotgun, Rocket Launcher, Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, and much more.

New Map. New Mode.Welcome toFortnite Reload, a new action-packed Battle Royale mode with classic weapons, classic locations, and classic vibes for you and your squad! Reload goes live Saturday June 22, shortly after 2 PM ET.
Squaddies reboot in Fortnite Reload, so long as one member of the team remains. Reload is a 40-player experience on a tighter map featuring familiar locations like Tilted Towers and Retail Row. A full team wipe means Game Over! Whether you choose Battle Royale or Zero Build, the last squad standing wins.
LOCKED AND (RE)LOADED
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:
DÉJÀ-BOOT, DÉJÀ-LOOT
TheTactical Shotgun,Rocket Launcher,Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, andLever Action Shotgunare 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 youwillfind a medley of unvaulted loot. Here’s just a handful of items returning for Reload at launch:
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 isin additionto their entire inventory — stay strapped!
Fortnite Reload has intro Quests rewarding 20,000 XP each. Complete three to unlock theDigital Dogfight Contrail, six for thePool Cubes Wrap, and nine to get theNaNa Bath Back Bling! Avoid all accusations of having no chill.
If you bag a Victory Royale, you’ll snagThe Rezzbrella Glider! No matter how many times you reboot, keep strengthening your rez-olve.
