Save the World, Battle Royale, and Creative are the three main Fortnite game options. The most popular game option, Battle Royale, has a selection of regular game modes, as well as a selection of limited time modes, or LTM, which, as the name suggests, appear as an option only for a specified period of time before them. with something else.
Regular game modes make up the core gameplay experience in Battle Royale and feature Solo, Duos, and Squads. LTMs feature different weapons, winning conditions, and more, but they are usually of the Solo, Duos, or Squads type of game. There is also a Playground mode within Battle Royale, which is a more limited and restricted form of Creative.
Fortnite save the world
Save the World, available for PC/Mac, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, is what is known as Player vs Environment or PvE. Unlike its more famous offshoot, Battle Royale, a player-versus-player, or PvP game, Save the World is a mission-based co-op game of survival in a destructible world. You play with up to three other people on a randomly generated map to fight the storm, rescue survivors, build structures, craft weapons, find loot, and upgrade and expand your shield to protect your base of operations.
As of this writing, Save the World is still in early access and requires you to pay $39.99 for the standard version of the game mode, and $59.99 for the deluxe version. Epic Games has stated that it intends to make this mode free to play some time in 2019.
The skills you learn from playing Save the World can be applied to the rest of your Fortnite experience and vice versa. For example, in all game modes, you can use an ax to demolish existing structures and collect resources such as wood or metal. Similarly, you can use those harvested materials in all game modes to build and repair structures such as walls, floors and stairs, although only in Save the World you can upgrade structures.
As of this writing, Save the World costs money to play, but, like Battle Royale and Creative, it’s expected to become free some time in 2019 once Epic Games feels the game mode is more advanced.
Fortnite Battle Royale
Battle Royale is the Player vs Player, or PvP, game mode that puts Fortnite on the map. You and 99 other players start out in a flying battle bus, find a place to land, and then race to collect items, weapons, and other loot to defeat the other players.
For single player modes, you are against 99 other players. (See the next figure.) For Duos, you can team up with a friend (or a friendly stranger) against 49 other two-team teams. In the marital situation, your partner can revive you if you get injured. For Squads, you join a team of three other players and try to be the last of 25 teams of four players. Squads are usually the most popular mode in Fortnite.
Previously LTE, or a limited-time event, but now a permanent addition, Playground lets you play alone or with up to three other players for an unrestricted gaming experience. You get a much longer lead time than other modes, allowing you to explore the map more freely, harvest materials, build things, search for chests, and more. You can still fight, but only against your three other friends.
With Doubles, Teams and Pitch mode, you have to decide between Fill or Don’t Fill. With Fill, if you have less than the number of players required to form the required team size in a given situation, the game will automatically match you with other players. If you choose not to fill out and don’t have a full team, you will face other groups of a suitable size, at a disadvantage. It’s not an unusual option to say the least, but it’s an excellent example of how incredibly customizable the Fortnite experience can really be.
Fortnite Creative Mode
In creative mode, you get access to your own island, where you can pretty much design or do whatever you want, including inviting your friends for some play-tests. You’ll have all kinds of materials at your disposal, so you can do more than just build structures. In fact, this mode is built around the concept of creating new game types using the Fortnite engine, including deathmatches, races, football matches, skate parks, arenas, and more, as in the example.
You can save and load your creations, so you’re free to be as creative, or destructive, as you like. You can even enter special Fortnite Creative codes to load the amazing creations of others, which range from elaborately designed adventure mazes to playable mini golf courses and everything in-between. The possibilities really are staggering with the versatile Fortnite game engine.
