View source for Limited Time Modes

[[File:Playlist - Placeholder - Fortnite.png|250pr|thumb|The Default Placeholder for all LTMs and Core Modes]]
'''Limited Time Modes''' or '''LTMs''' for short, are a type of playlist available in [[Fortnite: Battle Royale]]. They often add a unique twist to the default game mode, and are sometimes added as permanent modes due to popularity.

This list does not contain [[Live Events]], Permanent modes, [[Arena]], or Randomized playlists like [[Operation: Snowdown]].

== Description ==
Limited Time Modes are playlists that add a unique change to the Standard 100 player [[Battle Royale]], or alternatively [[Team Rumble]] formula. Some modes change up the accessible Loot Pool, such as [[Unvaulted (LTM)|Unvaulted]], and others change the formula entirely such as [[Air Royale (LTM)|Air Royale]].

Limited Time Modes can exist in the game for anywhere between a few hours, or an entire season. Later on in the season, other Limited Time Modes unrelated to the existing season begin to cycle.

==List of LTMs==
