Fortnite Reload Duos mode is now live. Here's what it means and how to play it.

Epic Games' most popular battle royale video game, Fortnite, has recently added an interesting addition to its game modes, the Fortnite Reload. It is a game mode that features a smaller map that is a combination of some iconic locations throughout the game. Players can also find and use classic weapons in Fortnite Reload, bringing in the OG vibes and that nostalgic feeling.

The Fortnite Reload has proven to be an effective way of pulling more players to the game as it has amassed more players than the regular Battle Royale. The game mode even reached more than a million players, shortly after its release. It's important to note that Fortnite Reload reached these numbers while only offering Squads mode. As expected, players requested that Fortnite Reload offer more options other than just Squads.

And of course, Epic Games listened. Fortnite Reload Duos is now live and Fortnite Trios is in the works.  Let's dive into the details more.

What is Fortnite Reload Duos

Fortnite Reload Duos allows players to experience the OG mode with a friend, or with a random stranger. In this mode, 40 players consisting of 20 teams will battle it out to get that Victory Royale. Fortnite Reload Duos is available in both Zero Build and standard Battle Royale formats.

How to Play Fortnite Reload Duos

The Fortnite Reload Duos has the same game mechanics as the Squads where players get rebooted infinitely when they die as long as other squad members are alive.

However, there are a few changes made to accommodate smaller team sizes in Reload Duos. Here's how it works:

  • When a player dies, they will still reboot as long as their duo is alive.
  • The reboot timer will start between 12 and 16 seconds.
  • Players can reduce the reboot timers by engaging in combat with other Duos. 
  • Downing an opponent reduces reboot time by 2 seconds.
  • Eliminating an opponent reduces reboot time by 3 seconds.
  • Taking out a whole set of Duos reduces reboot time by 5 seconds. 

When is Fortnite Reload Trios coming to the game

With Fortnite Reload now offering both Duos and Squads options, players are speculating whether Epic Games plans to introduce a Trios mode. The big question on everyone's mind is not just if, but when Trios might be added to the game.

The answer to this question has already been leaked on social media. Prominent leaker, @FN_Assist, revealed on an X post that Trios mode can be found in the files for Fortnite Reload. This means that we will be getting the Fortnite Reload Trios soon. However, there are no details about the exact release date. It might be released after Epic Games returns from their summer break in 2024.

This concludes all the information we have on Fortnite Reload Duos and Trios. Since the Fortnite Reload has become an official mode, we can expect to enjoy the OG experience for a long time. However, developers still haven't made any clear announcements regarding this. The lack of clear communication from the developers has led to widespread speculation within the Fortnite community about the future of the game's modes.

For now, we know that the introduction of Trios, alongside Duos and Squads, signals an exciting evolution for Fortnite Reload. With these new modes, players can look forward to a more diverse and engaging gameplay experience, keeping the Fortnite community buzzing with anticipation for what's next.
