How curious parents can get started in Fortnite years later

When loading in Fortnitewill you automatically be in “Game” section. This is where you can choose different game modes to play. Most modes are fan-made and can be played with friends. But if you want to play vanilla Fortnite or other official Epic modes, scroll down until you see “By Epic.” From there, you should see all the official Epic Game game modes Fortnite is known for along with the studio’s logo on the thumbnail.

Once here, you will see states such as “Ranked Reloaded, Ranked X Attempt” and more. The ranked modes are lobbies that are usually meant for people looking for more of a challenge. Most of these people are looking for other highly skilled players to improve their ranking on Fortnite leaderboards.

If you’re looking for a more casual game, keep scrolling until you land on Battle Royale mode, AKA vanilla Fortnite. That’s the type of game that Fortnite is mainly known for. The rules of this mode are simple: the last one standing wins. From here you can choose between two types of Battle Royale: Build and Zero Build.

If you’re looking for a faster Battle Royale, you can always play Reloaded. Like the normal mode, this can also be played in Build or Zero Build. However, it is worth pointing out that this mode differs significantly from the normal BR mode. The map is much smaller and draws inspiration from OG Fortnite. When players die, they can respawn as long as the feature is enabled and their teammates are still alive. If this sounds a little familiar to you, that’s because this is Epic’s version of Call of Duty: Warzone Rebirth Island mode. The games usually play much faster and can be more intense. So don’t expect a slow game.

Changing lanes a bit, that is Lego Fortnitewhich is like a whole different game. In a nutshell, this is Epic’s version of Minecraft and other survival games. There is a bit of a story to it, but the main goal is to build a base and survive as long as possible. This is a third-person mode where you go toe-to-toe with various fantasy animals and monsters.

To shake things up, there’s also a mode called Rocket Racing. As the name suggests, this is a mode where you and other players race against each other. The rules are quite simple: be the first to cross the finish line and you will win. Think of this mode as Fortnite Mario Kart if that helps.

The last major mode is the Fortnite Festival. This mode allows you and other players to play licensed music from artists like Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, and even original Fortnite songs. This is a rhythm-based mode where you are tasked with pressing the correct buttons when they appear. There are two types of Festival modes you can play. The first is the Main Stage. This is where you all work together and jam out to get the highest score. The second is the Battle Stage where you will compete against each other to see who gets the highest score.
