Fortnite Takes Building Out Of The Equation In Its New ‘Zero Build’ Game Mode

When battle royale mode was later added that allowed players to build structures that can be used to access hard-to-reach areas, quickly whip up defenses in a firefight, or build towering sniper’s nests.

Five years later and the team has added a new Zero Build game mode that removes building mechanics altogether allowing players to focus on the important stuff – killing each other and being the last man or team standing.

“Zero Build is a pure test of weapon, item, and traversal ability. […] Without building, all players have the recharging Overshield as your first line of defense in Zero Build. Zip up Ascenders to access Blimps or use Mantling to get the high-ground over your opponents. Don’t forget to Sprint between cover on your way to a Victory Royale!”

Zero Build can be accessed from the Discover page and is available in Solos, Duos, Trios, and Squads modes. Check out the official trailer below for a sneak peek at the new game mode. You can also drop by the Fortnite official site for more details.
