Fortnite Without Building Is Permanent As Epic Reveals Zero Build Mode

After Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2 began by taking the building mechanics out of the fight–and the idea became very popular–Epic Games has decided to make the no-build format a permanent mode called Fortnite Zero Build. Alongside that, game modes featuring building are still playable in arena and creative, though there’s no word yet on when (if ever?) building will return to the game’s public battle royale lobbies.

Zero Build is now available in Solo, Duo, Trio, and Squad matchmaking in the Discover menu found in the Fortnite lobby. Many of the new mechanics introduced with the mode–including mantling, using Ascenders to board blimps, and the overshield, will also feature in this mode. Alternatively, you can choose the standard battle royale mode to enjoy the old-school building gameplay.
