Fortnite is packed with game modes and experiences that sway away from the traditional battle royale rule set. Some are created by the community, while others are introduced by Epic Games themselves. The latest playlist brought to you by Epic Games is Blitz Royale and it will see players become more powerful compared to regular Fortnite matches.
All opponents start with the same random Medallion or unique weapon on a small map. Increase your Blitz Level by eliminating opponents and surviving storm circles. As you level up, you will get access to greater weapons and power-ups. Loot Golden Chests for even more power-ups and Golden Supply Drops for even more Medallions. Unlike regular battle royale modes, Medallions don’t show your location on the map and they don’t drop when enemies are eliminated.
The mode also features Boons, bringing an assortment of power-ups which are associated with movement, healing, going on the offense, with wildcards thrown in for good measure.
