Battle Royale is a PvP (Player versus Player) mode in Fortnite that was released on September 26, 2017. Players must drop onto an island and fight to be the last one surviving in Solo, Duos, Trios, or Squads. In this mode, Building is enabled. A similar mode but without building is Fortnite: Zero Build.

Upon loading into a Battle Royale match, players will spawn on Spawn Island, a place where they can wait until the Battle Bus is ready to fly over the island. Upon entering the Battle Bus, players will have 15 seconds to jump out and skydive to wherever they want on the island. After landing, players must find loot either on the floor or through containers to obtain weaponry, healing items, materials and utility items of various rarities. After a minute, the Eye of the Storm, a safe zone, will be marked on the Minimap. Players start out with 100 health and 0 shield. Shield can be obtained from consumables.

Players have roughly 3 minutes until The Storm starts closing in. After the storm reaches the eye, another grace period begins and the eye of the storm shrinks. This process is repeated until the match ends. Any player in the storm will be damaged, with the amount of damage growing after each time the storm closes in until it hits 10 DPS (Damage per Second). The storm directly damages your health, ignoring shields. Prolonged presence in the storm causes Storm Sickness, which will deal more damage to a player's health, preventing long-term exposure to The Storm.

Reality Augments will appear briefly after a Storm Circle closes. Augments are perks that give a advantage in gameplay. Augments can boost the player in Combat, Mobility, Scouting, and Looting. A player can only have a maximum of 4 Reality Augments. When a player is able to select their next augment, they can chose between 2 options. If the options do not suit the player, they can reroll their choice for 200 Bars, with the first reroll being free.

In matches with more than one player on a team, such as Duos, Trios and Squads, players will be knocked down after losing all their health, and can crawl on the floor at a reduced speed. Knocked players cannot use items and, if not revived, their Tenacity will deplete, until they are fully eliminated and drop a Reboot Card. Reboot Cards expire after 4 1⁄2 minutes and can be collected to reboot fallen allies at Reboot Vans. If all players on a team are eliminated, then that team is fully eliminated and will lose the match. Unless revived or Rebooted, Players eliminated during the match cannot respawn and will have their loot dropped for other players to obtain if they wish.

Fortnite, more specifically the Fortnite Battle Royale was the latest game to sweep the nation. After many years, it seems still that no one has given this game A Serious Critique. A Serious Critique of Fortnite will be not only a Fortnite Critique, but a look at the New Fortnite Season. This Fortnite Review or Fortnite Retrospective will focus primarily on the Battle Royal, and why it is The Best Battle Royale. I will also touch on the question of Did Fortnite Die and or Is Fortnite Dying. If this video does well I will consider a Warzone Critique. The Fortnite Battle Pass, Fortnite Save The World, Fortnite Imposter Mode, and fortnite chapter 4 season 2, will be touched upon and heavy emphasis is placed on the Fortnite no build mode otherwise known as fortnite zero build, or fortnite no build. The Fortnite new season is around the corner, so I hope you enjoy this Critique of Fortnite.
