Fortnite Zero Build Is a No-Build Battle Royale Mode That Is Here to Stay [IGN]

View Article on IGN

Fortnite Zero Build is a new no-build battle royale mode that is here to stay following the beginning of Chapter 3, Season 2: Resistance that saw building temporarily removed from the main game for a short time.

As detailed by The Fortnite Team, Zero Build can be found in the Discover page as Solo, Duos, Trios, and Squads playlists. As the team notes, “You can access the Discover page by clicking on the “CHANGE” button above “PLAY!” in the Lobby.”

Much like it was in the main game, all players will have access to a recharging Overshield that will help make up for the lack of cover that building would usually provide. Without building, you will need to “show off your sharp shooting, sharp thinking, and sharp sense of space as you take on the battle full-tilt.”

Building has been gone since Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2 began, and when it returns, those who had been waiting for this new way to play will still be able to play with a no-build mode.

Alongside the launch of the new season, Epic Games announced that it would be donating all of its Fortnite proceeds to humanitarian relief for people affected by the war in Ukraine for a two-week period. As of March 25, the donations have amounted to $70 million.

Correction: Building has not yet returned to the main battle royale mode as of this writing.
