Battle Lab

Battle Lab is a Core Gamemode in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced on December 18th, 2019. For unknown reasons on April 27th, 2021, Battle lab was removed but was soon re-added on May 4th, 2021. It was previously called Playground Mode.

When Chapter 3: Season 1 launched, Battle Lab could be selected, but launching it would crash the game. This was beacuse the spawn locations were still from Apollo island instead of Artemis. This was quickly fixed, with new spawn points added.

Gameplay
In this Game Mode, players can freely explore the current Battle Royale island for 2 hours per game session. After that time the storm begins to close in completely. There are items exclusive to this game mode, called Friendly Bot Grenades and Enemy Bot Grenades. These grenades will spawn in bots, that are either teammates or opponents. All Chests and Ammo Boxes have a 100% spawn rate/ There are also almost approximately 100 Loot Llamas per game.

Tips

 * You can use Battle Lab to freely explore the island and search for an ideal drop spot for Battle Royale.
 * Any materials harvested are multiplied by 10 times what you'd normally get.
 * Battle Lab is not recommended for professional scrims because of the player limit. Use Custom Matchmaking for this. For build/box fights, use Creative.
 * It is not viable for attempting to complete Milestones or Quests, as progress for towards them is disabled in Battle Lab.
 * You can use Battle Lab to have fun with the props.

Friendly/Enemy Bot Grenades
Main Article: Bot Grenades

Enemy bot grenades will spawn in an opponent when thrown. They spawn with a Assault Rifle when they spawn, but have the ability to gather other weaponry and items. Friendly bot grenades have the same function, except they will not attack you, as they are on the same team as you.
