Members of the Fortnite community are wanting a new spin on the popular Zero Build mode in Epic’s battle royale shooter, proposing a Zero Build Team Rumble matchtype.
A post on the game’s subreddit by Special-Quantity-288 submitted the idea, saying that ‘Zero Team Rumble would be so much fun.’ While they are quite sceptical it’d get made, mainly “because the player count just can’t support another game mode”, they do say they “wouldn’t mind longer waits between games”. “Zero Build Team Rumble would certainly be a blessing for the more casual players”.
For those unfamiliar with the mode, Team Rumble is a mode that sees players split up into two-large sixteen player teams, and then set out to kill the other team. Essentially, it’s Fortnite’s version of Team Deathmatch, where players can respawn and the winner is declared when a team hits a specific number of eliminations. Of course, the main difference with the Zero Build version would be that building or creating structures aspect would be disabled, leaving players free to focus on killing the other team.
The OP does recognise some tweaks may have to be made for a Zero Build version, as it’s sure to be even more frantic to play. “I think the changes wouldn’t need to be too drastic – bigger circles, faster descents after spawning, stuff like that.” However, some players raise the point that building is already largely ignored in the existing version of the mode. “I strictly play Zero build, and when I go into a TR match I just ignore the building,” says ZoomTown. “In most of the matches I’ve been in lately, there hasn’t been a lot of building going on anyway, maybe a couple of big structures and everyone else just running around on the ground.”
Some people, such as MrLeo2, feel it’s a “bad idea because the whole game would be just people landing right behind you and 1-shot killing you with a shotgun, since you wouldn’t be able to protect yourself from it.” But as Odd_Bison_5788 points out “That’s almost no different than the current Team Rumble experience.” They then elaborate “They’d likely have to adjust the storm circles to move more towards Mega City or the Jungle if this were to happen. Seems like there’d be more places to take cover since there are buildings and trees and structures that can’t be destroyed.”
Fortnite recently saw the release of its latest chapter 4 Season 3 Wilds, as well as what may be one of the community’s favourite and silliest emotes.
