Hmmm...
To do:
Add sources for anything and everything possible.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, 100 players are dropped onto an island and pitted against each other, with the ability to craft structures and pick up weapons scattered around the island!

Also, the amount of skins and taunts you can unlock. It's probably the only piece of media where Rick Sanchez, LeBron, Goku and Venom team up to fight the Joker and the Demogorgon. That alone should be a selling point.

Unused Modes

Hmmm...
To do:
Add any additional unused / scrapped LTMs.

Fortnite: Battle Royale has different game modes rotating on a regular basis, some of which never get used.


Name Squad Size Description Added Notes
Tactics Showdown [1] Solo, Duo, Squads "This mode encourages tactical combat and building by putting a cap on the amount of resources and ammunition players can carry. Player-built structures also start off with less health than normal, and when players are eliminated they will drop fewer resources than normal." v4.40 The mode's splash icon was reworked into the splash for the "Wild West" LTM.
Fortlite [2] Solo, Duo, Squads ??? v9.10 Normal Battle Royale, but with half of the players (50).
Chameleon [3] 20v20 "Last man standing rules, but players have the ability to turn into different props around the map" v9.30 Likely scrapped in favor of the Prop Hunt Creative LTM released shortly after.
Automatics [4] Solo, Duo, Squads "The only weapons in the game are the automatic firing ones. Spray and pray!" v9.30 Likely scrapped for not being as complex as the other LTMs featured in the "Summer Splash" event.
Team Splashdown [5] 20v20 "Using only water balloons and their wits, two large teams fight for the Victory Royale in an action-packed mode where the first team to get the target number of eliminations wins!" v9.30 Essentially the "Splashdown" LTM in a large-team format.
The Blues [6] Solo, Duo, Squads "All weapon drops are Rare. Storm circles move a bit more quickly. Building material farming rates are increased." v9.30 Likely scrapped for not being as complex as the other LTMs featured in the "Summer Splash" event.
Purple Reign [7] Solo, Duo, Squads "All weapon drops are Epic. Storm circles move a bit more quickly. Building material farming rates are increased." v9.30 Likely scrapped for not being as complex as the other LTMs featured in the "Summer Splash" event.
50v50_cube [8] 50v50 ??? v9.30 Has cube "weak points". Possibly an early version of the Storm King LTM. mockup
Pavonis [9] Squads [10] Deal More Damage. Take More Damage. Close-Ranged Weapons Only. v13.30 Name is a codename.
Polaris [11] Unknown Loot pulled from open water is grey, and high tier loot is pulled from fishing spots. v13.30 Name is a codename.
Saturn [12] ??? ??? v17.30 Said to be an open-world RPG game mode. The game mode was fully removed from Fortnite's endpoint on August 10th, 2021. [13]

Unused Maps

Hmmm...
To do:
Find which version this map was added / deleted from the files and add that information to this section.

A small unused map named "Athena_Faceoff" exists in early versions of Fortnite: Battle Royale. This is speculated to be a leftover of a "Capture-the-Flag" mode that Epic was developing before they decided to make Battle Royale instead.

Early Messaging System

There exists a very early version of a system which likely would have showed different Fortnite-related news topics sent out to players. It would have been accessed by going to the main menu and selecting the corresponding Messages button. This likely would have replaced the "Message of the Day" system that was present.


Unused TV Texture

Fortnite-UnusedTVPic.png

During the last days of Chapter 2 Season 6, some TVs on the map (and in the lobby) would show a countdown of 4 Days, some people speculated that this texture was supposed to appear when less than a day was left until Chapter 2 Season 7, but that wasn't the case. The character shown in the texture has yet to make an appearance in the game.


Unused Currency

A scrapped currency, called "Battle Bucks", existed early in Battle Royale's Development. They appear to have been a currency separate from V-Bucks, and would have been earned for free by playing matches of Battle Royale.[14] Additionally, players would have been able to purchase "Compendium Challenges" with Battle Bucks, which were challenge packs that rewarded the player with XP and Battle Bucks for completion.[15] They were planned to be used in the Season Shop[16] to buy Consumable Emotes (emotes that could only be used a limited number of times) and Victory Poses (presumably poses that would trigger upon getting a Victory Royale).[17]

The description was: "Currency earned by playing the Battle Royale game mode."

Map Codenames

Core Battle Royale Maps

These are the main maps featured in the Battle Royale gamemode. Each of the codenames are named after figures in Greek mythology.

Name Codename
Chapter 1 Athena
Chapter 2 Apollo
Chapter 3 Artemis
Chapter 4 Asteria
Chapter 5 Helios [18]
Chapter 6 Hermes

Reload Maps

These are the maps featured in the Reload gamemode.

Name Codename
Venture BlastBerry
Oasis PunchBerry

Special / LTM Maps

These are the maps found in certain LTMs. While they don't feature the same naming conventions as the main maps, each of the codenames' first letters corresponds to the name of the mode, similar to Epic's naming conventions with cosmetics.

Name Codename
Party Royale Papaya
The Combine Crucible

Battle Book

The Battle Book was an early version of what we now know as the Battle Pass. Planned to release in Chapter 1: Season 1, it had 100 tiers (as opposed to the 70 tiers found in the Chapter 1: Season 2 Battle Pass), and featured a UI very similar to the one found in the Chapter 1: Season 2 Battle Pass. The placeholder items only go up to tier 69, and remain the same on every version that contains the Battle Book's UI.

 

The placeholder items are as follows:

  • 2960 V-Bucks
  • The Prismatic Glider


ice

added into the files around 27.00 ice is a scrapped element mechanic that was planned for chapter 5 due to its additon in the files though like a lot of chapter 5 it got scrapped and never got past the testing stages from the looks of it ice

unused pistol mesh

a early mesh that looks like a early version of the chapter 1 pistol unused mesh this vid shows a mockup of what the pistol would look like if held by the player

Early version of wall running

put in the files around chapter 4 wall running has little function besides slideing the player across the wall the ga file has to be moded in order for it to be able to work when double taping the jump button it triggers if on a wall and dev meshs apear near the player wall running in chapter 6 wall running was added but it works diffrently going up istead of horzontal
