Close Encounters is a LTM in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced on May 25th, 2018.

LTM Rules and Gameplay
In this gamemode, the only available form of weaponry are Shotguns, making it almost impossible to attack players from a long range. The Storm moves more quickly and an upper Storm is present which will descend throughout the match.

Features
This list does not include utility and healing items available in normal modes.

Strategy Guide
In this LTM, you will have to get within close range to a player. This will result in them taking more damage when you fire your weapon. Also, do not go excessively high on your Jetpack, unless you are above water.

Try landing closer to the middle of the map to make sure you don't have to run to far or at all when zone closes in.

Try and use the Heavy or Combat Shotgun, due to there range, for longer engagements.
