Game modes
Battle Royale
100 players compete to win. Sometimes there are computer-controlled enemies, in which they are called a Bot. Players compete with each other to fight to the death. Players start with 100 health and 0 shield. In the game's "Zero Build" mode, players can have an Overshield which provides 50 more shield and regenerates when the player is not taking damage. in addition to their health and shield, players can find shield items to consume for a max of 200 hit points (or 100 health/100 shields). Players lose health and shields if they get shot by weapons, if they fall from too high, or take slow damage in the storm. The storm approaches over the course of a game. If the player loses all their health, they will lose. In Fortnite, there are different kinds of weaponry, including guns, boogie bombs and mythical items. Weapons can be obtained throughout the game by grabbing them in the open, opening chests and supply drops, looting them off enemies and eliminated players and fishing from the water.[2] The winner of the match is the one who is the last person standing.
At the beginning of the game, players can get to different locations by skydiving from a flying blue school bus held up with a hot air balloon, titled the Battle Bus.[3] The battle bus goes in a straight line over the map, but the path is not always the same
.
Creative
Creative mode allows the building of anything players can think of. Players can copy and paste different objects from the Battle Royale mode and are able to visit the map as well. They can rotate and enlarge them to any way they want, while exploring the community-built maps from other people.[4]
Save the World
Fortnite: Save the World is the original and first version of the game, first released on July 27, 2017.
Players must cooperate with others to kill Husks and complete various missions. One to four players cooperate towards a single goal that they both need to achieve in order to survive, and to win the mission. There are 4 main named locations that are unlocked by progressing through the campaign. The first is Stonewood, the weakest of the 4 areas. Next is the mid-level Plankerton, followed by the high-Level Canny Valley, ending with the last location, and the hardest, Twine Peaks. There are many other locations as well, added with events. One such is Scurvy Shoals, a tropical themed area.
Competitive
Competitive Fortnite is played in Ranked and tournaments. There are different kinds of tournaments. There are tournaments that everyone can play (free tournaments). They usually do not have any cash rewards. The cups everyone gets to compete in are usually skin cups, where top 100 in each region gets a skin before its released to the item shop. For example, Thanos had a skin cup.
Then there are Ranked cups. In Ranked cups, players need to be in a specific rank in a game mode called "Ranked Battle Royale". In order to get in a higher league, they need to earn rank. You get percentage for getting kills, placements and wins. There are 8 different divisions listed below.
- Bronze I, II, III
- Silver I, II, III
- Gold I, II, III
- Platinum I, II, III
- Diamond I, II, III
- Elite
- Champion

In Ranked cups, players get cosmetics, once reached certain amount of points. These are tournaments for cosmetics in the game. There are also top tier tournaments, like FNCS, which you can join if you are Elite rank or above, people can still play skin cups, and other special cups. To play cash cups, you must be minimum of gold rank or higher.
Cosmetics
Fortnite Battle Royale has cosmetics. Cosmetics are items/skins that do not give the player any advantages in the game like pickaxes, dances, emotes, skins, wraps and sprays. Cosmetic items can be bought by the use of V-Bucks, the in-game currency. They can also be earned by completing challenges[5] for the "Battle Pass", which is done by playing the game.
