SECTION 1

PREPARE FOR THE ULTIMATE 50 V 50 BATTLE EXPERIENCE

H ave you already experienced the excitement of playing Fortnite: Battle Royale s Solo, Duos, and/or Squads game play modes? If so, you know that to achieve #1 Victory Royale, its necessary to juggle more than a dozen different responsibilities in order to stay alive and defeat your enemies.

When playing a Solo match, its your soldier against up to 99 others in a battle for survival. Duo mode allows you to team up with one other gamer and take on up to 98 other enemies in your quest for #1 Victory Royale. In Squads mode, youre able to team up with three other gamers (either your online friends or random players) as you fight up to 96 enemies with the goal of outlasting everyone else during a match.

The Solo, Duos, and Squads game play modes are all permanently offered in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Choose which you want to experience from the Choose Game Mode screen.

Get Ready to Experience a 50 v 50 Match

In addition to the three permanent game play mode options, Epic Games often offers one or more temporary game play modesincluding a version of 50 v 50. When you select this mode, during each match, there are two teams, each with 50 players. There are the blue and red teams, and youve been recruited into the blue team.

Playground mode is another temporary mode that comes and goes from the game. It gives you up to 55 minutes per session to explore, build, practice using weapons, and/or participate in mock battles with friends.

The goal of a 50 v 50 match is to help your team outlive the other, while contending with a storm thats more lethal than ever. Of course, the ultimate goal is to achieve #1 Victory Royale. Do you have the skill and determination to help lead your team to success?

When you experience a 50 v 50 match, there are more opportunities to find and collect weapons, ammo, loot items, and resources, compared to other game play modes. Supply Drops, for example, appear much more frequently, but only within the circle which appears on the Island Map once the soldiers have all departed their respective Battle Buses.

Powerful Weapons and Intense Battles Can Be Found within the Circle

As soon as everyone lands on the island, the island map automatically transforms. Instead of showing the travel route of the Battle Buses, itll display the border that divides the island into each teams side, as well as a circle that will eventually become the epicenter of battle toward the end of the match. In the meantime, its exclusively within the circle where Supply Drops will land.

To obtain the best weapons and loot items, youll want to venture into the circle. However, this is the location where soldiers from both teams are most apt to cross the border and meet, so you can always expect a fight here. As the storm moves and expands, itll eventually center around the circle, and then slowly encompass it during the End Game.

By approaching the border at any point on the island, youll likely encounter at least a few enemies, so be prepared for that. However, its within the circle where soldiers (from both teams) who are looking for combat action will congregate.

50 v 50 Matches Are Unlike All Other Matches

During a 50 v 50 match, youll definitely need the extra firepower and building capabilities, because these matches are faster paced than any other. Each time Epic Games introduces a new 50 v 50 match, theres often some unique twist that keeps things new and challenging.

Unlike other game play modes, when a 50 v 50 match begins, it takes longer for the storm to form and expand. During the first 10 minutes or so of each match, the weather will be clear, and the entire island remains inhabitable. Once the storm begins to devastate the island, however, it moves quickly and causes more damage faster to anyone who gets caught within it. As youre freefalling toward the island, youll see a message in the center of the screen announcing that the countdown to the storms formation has begun.

After choosing the 50 v 50 game play mode, your soldier gets transported to the pre-deployment area. If youre playing a 50 v 50 Squads game, for example, its here you can meet up with your three squad members for the first time within the game. Use this time to choose a landing spot on the island.

Your choice of landing spots should be based on your overall objective for early in the match. Land near the border (particularly within the circle) if you want to encounter enemies quickly and engage in combat. Land on your side of the island, but farther away from the border, if you want extra time to build your arsenal and collect resources without the threat of enemies. If youre really looking for a challenge, consider landing in the heart of enemy territory (across the border within the other teams side of the island).
