Fortnite game modes

There are three basic game modes plus many LTMs available that you can choose from the right-hand corner of the screen.

Solo: one player (yourself) against up to 99 other players. this is also the default mode.
Duos: two players (you and a partner) teaming up to eliminate the other duos.
Squads: up to four players (you and two/three buddies) fighting the other squads.

Limited Time Modes (LTMs)
Limited-Time Mode represents a mode that is only around for a short period of time.
LTMs are usually only available for a week or so at a time so you need to make sure you try them out before they are no longer available.
These modes do tend to make a comeback, usually with some twist that makes them a little different.
Here are a few examples for LTMs:

50v50: Join one of two teams of up to 50 players
Playground: This mode allows practicing and exploring with weapons of all kinds, 1-4 people in each match,
Increased supply drops, 100 Supply Llamas and three Free Vending machines
Barebones: This mode has the map, compass, storm timer and many other elements of the Heads Up Display turned off.
Determining who is friendly and who isn’t during firefights and staying away from the storm will be key to picking up a Victory.
Close Encounters: Close Quarters Combat with Shotguns and Jetpacks.
One Shot: Low Gravity with every player has 50 health, Sniper weapons are the only weapon, Bandages are the only healing item.

What is Fortnite?

Fortnite is a video game First released in 2017 by Epic Games.
It is a fast-paced, action-packed game with the goal to be the last player or group standing, also know as last-man-standing gameplay.
It is distributed as three different game modes – Save The World, Battle Royale, and Creative.
All modes are using the same engine and have similar graphics and game mechanics.

In the first mode, Save The World, players are working together to fight off zombies, gather up resources and defended houses from attack. It was not so organized and no real story behind it, it looks more like a survival game.
The name Fortnite came from Save the World which lasts for two weeks where you need to build forts to defend yourself.

Battle Royale is the most popular one, the match starts by having all players skydive from a large aircraft within a brief time limit.
All players start with minimal equipment, giving no player an implicit advantage over the other.
Players need to find weapons and supply for surviving while eliminating their competitors.,
In Battle Royale, you have few playing modes like duo ,squads( 3-5 players) or mass (up to 99) as explained earlier.

In Creative mode, players can make their own private map with buildings, obstacles, etc.
It’s defined as a sandbox game. A game where the player has the ability to create, modify, or destroy their environment.

Because it allows many players to gatherer, Fortnite became a Massively multiplayer online game (MMO).
At the time of writing, there are an estimated 250 million players on Fortnite.
