Fortnite’s Reload game mode takes the battle royale formula and puts a different spin on it. While there are fewer players in each match, they can reboot a few times up until a certain point in the match, but they will lose their loot if they’re eliminated and come back.
Gamers can playFortniteReload on a few different maps, but they’re not available all at once. If players want to try a specific map, then they must be familiar with the game mode’s timetable. Otherwise, they may find themselves waiting without knowing when it’ll become available. This guide providesuseful information on theFortniteReloadmap rotation schedule so gamers know when their favorite map is available.
WhenFortniteReload came out, its only map was the revamped version of the Chapter 1 island. At the time, the OG game mode was not available, so this was the only way players were able to revisit their favorite locations from the OG map. Eventually,FortniteOG came out, and it became a permanent game mode, so Epic Games also had to come up with new ideas for Reload. Therefore, Reload evolved and received additional maps for gamers to play on.
If fans were able to choose which one to play at all times, matchmaking would take longer, as player count would be divided between all available maps. With maps always on rotation, Epic Games ensures that there are always plenty of players.
At the time of writing,there are threeFortniteReload maps. Map rotation takes place every 20 minutes, so each map is available once per hour.
Chapter 1 island
00-20
Chapter 2 island
20-40
Squid Game
40-60
When the hour changes, Venture becomes available and is live for 20 minutes. Then, Slurp Rush replaces it, and gamers can play it until minute 40 of the hour. The final 20 minutes of the hour can be spent in Squid Grounds, theSquid Game-themed Reload map.
