Replay Client

The Replay Client is a feature in Fortnite that allows players to watch replays of Battle Royale, Creative games, and Limited Time Modes. It can be accessed in the Career tab. Players can also watch replays of Tournament matches even if the player did not participate in. Additionaly, players can watch replays of any match by entering a unique session ID. By default, the game automatically saves replays after each Battle Royale and Creative game but it can be disabled in the Game Settings.

Players can also enter replay mode during an active match. This functions as a spectator mode allowing players to spectate a match. This can be accessed by watching an ongoing tournament match in the Compete tab or entering a session ID of an active match. Tournament games that are broadcasted on streaming platforms make use of this feature.

Compatabillity
Replays are only compatible if a match was played and the replay saved on the current patch and prompts you if any saved replays from previous updates needs to be deleted. This is due to updates changing the map and loot pool and that replays are not videos of matches, but more of the server 'recreating' the match as it was played.

Game HUD differences
In addition to the replay controls there are differences in the Game HUD in the Replay Client:


 * The minimap is on the bottom right corner and shows the position of all players. The Storm phase and timer is displayed under the minimap.
 * The number of players alive and the total players is shown on the top right corner. In a team-based match, the number of teams is also displayed.
 * The elimination feed is icon based instead of text based and displayed below the number of players alive.
 * In a team-based match, the teammates of the selected player is displayed on the bottom left. Clicking it changes the POV to that teammate.
 * The health and shield meter uses the Chapter 1 style, in the bottom center.
 * The number of builds is shown next to the health and shield meter. This is calculated by taking the total number of materials and dividing it by 10 (the cost of a build).
 * The inventory section is below the health and shield meter.
