50 vs 50 Is Back, With One Big Change For 'Fortnite: Battle Royale'

There was a surprise drop into Fortnite: Battle Royale this afternoon: the limited time 50 vs 50 V2 mode is back, and playable now. It makes for a single mad rush to a large-scale melee in the middle, and while the games end in blowouts a little more often than I would like, they're always a welcome break from the familiar rhythms of standard play. If you want to play 50 vs. Longtime Fortnite players -- or really just anyone who's been with the game a few weeks now -- will notice a big change for the game as a whole with this addition. I suspected it might happen when Epic shifted the "modes" menu to what it looks like now, but this marks the first time that we have two limited time modes running concurrently.
