Gameplay[]

The Map in Reload is much smaller compared to standard Battle Royale, with only a few named POIs present, many of which either returned or were remakes of POIs on the Athena island.
Update v30.20 Hotfix (June 22nd 2024)[]
Introduced the Venture map featuring 9 new named locations including:
- Dusty Docks
- Lazy Laps
- Lil' Loot Lake
- Lone Lodge
- Pleasant Park
- Retail Row
- Sandy Sheets
- Snobby Shoals
- Tilted Towers
Update v32.00 (November 2nd 2024)[]
Introduced the Oasis map, with 9 new named locations including:
- Adobe Abodes
- Fossil Fields
- Guaco Town
- Lizard Links
- Paradise Palms
- Shady Springs
- Snobby Sands
- Sunburnt Shafts
- Twisted Trailers
Update v34.30 (April 15th 2025)[]
Introduced the Slurp Rush map, with 8 new named locations including:
- Boomin Base
- Dirty Docks
- Fort Crumpet
- Lockdown Lighthouse
- Logjam Logging
- Slurpy Swamp
- Steamy Stacks
- Stilt Town
Unlike Battle Royale or Zero Build, where players must reboot their teammates via Reboot Vans, players will automatically be revived as long as one squad member is alive in-game. Players are given a Reboot Timer upon elimination, and can be reduced depending on how well your squad does (for example, knocking an opponent will reduce you timer by 2 seconds, eliminating them by 4, and eliminating a full team by 10). Once the timer hits 0, the rebooted player will be rifted from the sky to drop back down into the match. After a certain point in the match, Reboot Timers will be disabled, though your Reboot Timer will finish even if this happens while you are eliminated.
Loot Pool[]

Reload's lootpool consists primarily of unvaulted weapons, such as the Lever Action Shotgun, Heavy Assault Rifle, Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle, and Grappler.
Below is a list of all Items available in the Reload Loot Pool.

If you're eliminated you'll have the chance to rift back over the course of the match until the reboot timer expires.

Trivia[]
- There is a 1 in 10,000 or 0.01% chance of obtaining all five Heisted weapons from one Chest or Supply Drop in Fortnite: Reload.
- Midas' Drum Gun (OG) and Skye's Assault Rifle can also be found in this gamemode with a 1 in 7,000 or 0.014% chance from looting a Chest or Supply Drop. The same goes for other Mythics on the map (excluding The Foundation's MK-Seven Assault Rifle with a 1 in 14,286 or 0.007% chance, the Enhanced Havoc Shotgun, The Ageless Champion's Shockwave Hammer, and the Overclocked Pulse Rifle with a 1 in 5,000 or 0.02% chance, and the Mythic Goldfish having a 1 in 1,000 or 0.1% chance of getting one.)
- All Heisted weapons excluding the Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle have a 1 in 5,000 or 0.02% chance of being obtained.
- The Heisted Explosive Assault Rifle has a 1 in 11,111 or 0.009% chance to get one, making it the rarest Exotic to obtain.
- The Dub, Shadow Tracker, Hop Rock Dualies, and the Chug Cannon all have a 1 in 3,333 or 0.03 chance of getting one.
- Fortnite: Reload was made in less than a month, only starting development somewhere around late May 2024. This was most likely due to Chapter 5: Season 3 having the lowest player peak of Chapter 5.[1]
- Fortnite: Reload has the same jingle when discovering a POI as the one from Chapter 4: Season OG and Fortnite OG (core gamemode) if exploring the Venture map, or the current Battle Royale season jingle when exploring the Oasis or Slurp Rush map.
- If a Shield Bubble Jr. is thrown into the water in Reload Zero Build, it will turn into a Shield Bubble.
- The Gatekeeper Shotgun is currently in the files to be released in Reload.
- In Update v35.00, damage indicators were changed to those from Chapters 1-3 that are currently used in Fortnite OG and Save the World.
