Fortnite has launched a major new battle royale mode, Reload, which drew in more than a million players to the game over the weekend.
Available in both regular and Zero Build variants, Reload is a smaller-scale battle royale option with 40 players organised into 10 squads, with respawns enabled if at least one team member is still alive.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because Reload is very much inspired by Call of Duty: Warzone’s popular Resurgence mode, which offers very similar mechanics. Respawning isn’t instant and requires a wait time which increases over the match – though aggressive play can reduce it, if your teammates take out other players or entire squads.
