Fortnite: Close Encounters LTM Now Live
05/25/2018 11:13 pm EDT
Get those jetpacks ready, Fortnite players, because the latest Limited Time Mode for the wildly popular title from Epic Games is now live and ready to test that skill! For those that can't get enough of Epic Games' free-to-play Battle Royale mode, this latest event adds just the thing to spice things up a bit. Shoguns, jetpacks, and a lot of heat.
The new mode is finally back up and running after server issues caused the team to promptly take the LTM down. Luckily, the issue has since been resolved and players can dive right into the action!
As described by Epic Games:
Limited Time Mode: Close Encounters
- Close quarters combat with Shotguns & Jetpacks!
- The only guns in this mode are the various types of Shotguns.
- Jetpacks & Heavy Shotguns can be found in Chests & Supply Drops.
- Other Shotgun types are spawned as Floor Loot.
- The storm moves in more quickly than normal mid to late game.
- Typical match length is about 15 minutes.
- Stats are enabled for this mode.
The inclusion of jetpacks is new and will not only offer players a new way to play, but one that will definitely require a little mastering. Between the more efficient circle of death (or, you know-the actual name of 'the storm'), the limited supplies, and the close quarters combat - this new mode definitely provides that much desired means for players to prove they're the best.
In other Fortnite news, don't forget that the week 4 challenges are now live!
