Playlists

Playlists are game modes in Fortnite: Battle Royale that players can queue up for. Certain Playlists can define how the game is played such as 50v50, where there are 2 teams of 50. Playlists are divided into 2 Categories: Core Gamemodes and Limited Time Modes.

Core Gamemodes are Game Modes that will never rotate in and out (Live Events are exceptions to this) and maintain the Default Battle Royale gameplay. Limited Time Modes are playlists that will modify how the game is played.

Current Active Playlists

At a time, playlists will be active or inactive. Here is a current list of them:

Core Modes

SOLO		Solo is a gamemode in the Fortnite: Battle Royale playlist where 100 Players compete for a Victory Royale. Upon beginning the match, all 100 players are high in the sky in what is known as a Battle Bus. You are alone and need to outlive everyone to be victorious. Solo uses the default current loot pool Like all other core gamemodes, Solo has skill-based matchmaking and as you get better, you get matched with higher skill level players.
DUOS		Duos is a gamemode in Fortnite: Battle Royale in which two players pair up together on the same team. The duo must outlast all remaining players and compete for the Victory Royale.
TRIOS		Trios is a core game mode in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Apart from being on a max team of three, no new mechanics have been added. An Arena version of Trios has been added, and is the most popular mode of Arena. Trios is a game-mode exactly like Squads but instead of four players, there are teams of three.
SQUADS		Squads is a gamemode in Fortnite: Battle Royale in which up to four players pair up together on the same team. The squad must outlast all remaining players and compete for the Victory Royale.
ARENA		Arena is a competitive gamemode in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that can be played in Solo, Duo, Trios or Squads. In this mode, you receive points called "Hype Points" for placement, or kills. They determine your League in Arena. Having a certain amount of points can enable you to compete in Cash Cups such as Contender Cash Cup. A lot of pros use this as practice for tournaments. There are many items that are in the main gamemode of Fortnite: Battle Royale, that is not in Arena.
Team Rumble: Unvaulted		Is a permanent mode in Fortnite: Battle Royale where two teams of 20 fight for the Victory Royale. It is a respawn mode in which both teams fight to achieve 100 eliminations. If players on either side leave, the number reduces by 5 until it caps at 65 required. It is similar to team-deathmatch modes in other shooters such as Call of Duty or Battlefield. It used to be an LTM, but has became a permanent mode in the end of Season 9 as a new member of the standard gamemodes.
Creative		Is a game mode where players can control the creation of their private islands for others to experience. All the features and tweaks players put into the island can be saved for later use. This became available to all players starting December 13th, 2018. It has the motto Your island.Your friends. Your rules.
Battle Lab		Is a Fortnite Battle Royale mode that had come out in Chapter 2: Season 1, replacing Playground. It had an update where it now features Mythic Bosses.
