Fortnite

The Fortnite v30.20 patch has arrived, introducing a brand new mode called Reload. With a smaller map featuring classic locations and weapons, Reload is merging new and old to give players a fresh experience.

Below, you'll find everything you need to know about Fortnite's v30.20 update, including details of Reload mode and the unvaulted weapons returning to the loot pool.

Try a New Map in Fortnite Reload Mode

Starting with the v30.20 patch, a new experience called Fortnite Reload will be added to the game. This Squad-based mode features 40 players per match, with classic locations like Tilted Towers, and Retail Row returning on a new, smaller map.

Unlike regular Battle Royale matches, you'll automatically reboot when eliminated in Reload, as long as one of your teammates remains alive. Reboot timers start at 30 seconds, but this can be reduced if your remaining teammates eliminate other players.

There will also be a selection of classic weapons including the Revolver, the OG Heavy Shotgun, the Infantry Rifle, and the Rocket Launcher to add to your loadout in this new mode.

Fortnite Reload goes live on Saturday, June 22, 2024, at 2 PM ET.

Earn Free Rewards With Fortnite Reload Quests

To celebrate the arrival of Fortnite Reload, a new set of challenges has arrived. These introductory quests are designed to get you stuck into Reload mode, with each one offering 20,000 XP when finished.

There are also free rewards to unlock, including the Digital Dogfight Contrail for completing three quests, the Pool Cubes Wrap for completing six quests, and the Nana Bath Back Bling for completing nine quests. Score a Victory Royale in Fortnite Reloaded, and you'll get the Rezzbrella Glider.

More Weapons Have Been Unvaulted

Over in regular Battle Royale mode, Remote Explosives and the Heavy Impact Sniper Rifle have been added back to the loot pool.

You can purchase Remote Explosives from the NPCs Bravo Leader, Brite Raider, Drakon Steel Rider, and Vengeance Jones for 300 Gold Bars. You can purchase a Heavy Impact Sniper Rifle from the NPCs Artemis and Hope for 300 Gold Bars.

Jack Sparrow Arrives in Pirates of the Caribbean Crossover

The latest crossover to arrive in Fortnite as part of the v30.20 patch is Disney's popular movie franchise Pirates of the Caribbean. The **Cursed Sails Pass is available to purchase for 1,000 V-Bucks **and features a Captain Jack Sparrow skin as well as matching cosmetics.

Shortly after the Fortnite v30.20 patch went live, the Cursed Sails Pass was removed from the Item Shop. It's currently unclear when it will return.

Wasn't doing that a few days ago as far as I noticed...

The new battle pass is out and I am probably not gonna pay for this one, despite my Fallout love. The last one was too hard to level up to 200, and I'm not really interested in any of the skins this season. Power armor without...armor...is just kinda dumb. The other skins are boring, and even the Magneto seems like a lame cash grab. I'm just not that interested.

What a pain.

Does this community need a bot to post the daily item shop contents?

If so, I can make one.

Ui is a bit to busy. Plus side Fortnitemares is back.

Only good skin in this battle pass IMO. My biggest fortnite regret was not getting c2s2 battle pass and original meowscles. I have every battle pass skin since then and I would trade them all for meowscles.

Is anyone else using Postparty?

I'd like to post some of my bloopers, but I don't know how to make them available on Lemmy.

Do you play Ranked?
What rank are you? How far did you drop at reset?

Mythic MK, Mythic cloaking, new augments and more.

This confirmed a few things I suspected, but also surprised me, especially cars being visual at only 75 meters

The boomerang is awesome. The DPS doesn't feel great, but the homing is hilarious. I got lucky and managed to kill a duo with a single throw.

I'm gonna be so sad when they vault this thing.

??

(Also my first win this season yay) (( Also also, what's with the gold skeleton skin I'm confused ))

I was never great with red eye, better with dmr, so I welcome this change.

I usually only get about 5 solo wins/season(more in duos). As usual, I was overmatched on building but I managed with a little patience, luck, and staying ahead of the moving zones. Anyone else racking up W's?

Are there ways in Lemmy to add resources in the sidebar for the Fortnite Instance? It would be cool if we could add links to things like fortnitetracker events for schedules, etc.

Thinking about getting back into Fortnite but should I do it?

Without knowing just look deep into your heart and let it tell you the answer, and don't suggest an 8-ball, I want a real human with a real human heart giving me a gut feeling.

Thank you, I'm new btw.

So far its pretty cool. Fun to ride dinosaurs.

Does the zone seem to move faster or is it just me?
