That game mode was like a breath of fresh air! Being able to have a good gun fight without relying heavily on building was so much fun. I'd love to see that LTM brought back!
I speak for all who have no desire to build! Bring it back! 😁
It's on for the next 20 hours or so!
Read moreOver the festive period they released an LTM called ground game where ammo and materials where limited. I think you were given 20/20/30 materials and like 200 ammo max (dependant on the weapon). I seen a lot of hate towards it however me and my friends really enjoyed it, and i genuinely think it should be a permanent mode.
The way in which the game is played is completely different, it seemed to rely more on game sense. It relied on using natural cover and good positioning to gain an advantage over your opponents, it was less about pushing every team you see and more about securing high ground in the next zone and defending it and being able to use trees and out buildings during your rotations for cover (planes were also very uncommon, i think maybe 2 or 3 spawned per game).It had a couple of disadvantages, explosive weapons like quad launchers were extremely overpowered.
Your probably thinking that i am just a bot that doesn't know how to build, however i am a goo...
Ground Game Duos is currently on!
Bring back Ground Game. It was my favorite ltm because every new player has got a chance to win. New players can't be stuck in a build fight and I feel like I'm in season 3 again. ( I know this is posted a lot of times but I wanted to say my opinion).
It's on today - give it a shot & let us know if you have any feedback!
Great idea - looks like we can bang this out quickly and have it out next week with 7.20. Thanks for the input!
Edit: Was just informed it was a bug, not a new feature... can you tell I didn't read the whole thread? Anyway, thanks for bringing it up, will be fixed next week.
I just love how pretty much everyone has the same guns and shield is very limited. Also using six shooters as an ar is an experience.
Solo Wild West is on for the next 24 hrs!

Those Dual Pistols have been suuuuper excited about making it back into the game, to the point where they snuck into a few of the LTM's this week. We think we have a handle on them now, but let us know if you see them show up in any other strange places...
I'd just like to ask - why did you bring Food Fight into the rotation if you knew this bug could happen? Sure it's rare, but still, just wanted to know.
Mainly b/c it's super rare and we wanted to rotate through all of our respawning big team modes this week.
Hey - thanks for pointing this out. This bug confounded us for a while, as we didn't have an easy repro internally. We eventually figured out last week that we were starting our trace at a height that was a little low for some of the mountains (especially Polar). This is fixed in the 7.20 build, so the next time we run the mode, you shouldn't see this issue. Let us know if you do!
Why don't you have both duo and squads throughout the whole week instead of having to switch it mid-way? You use to do it in season 3-5 I see no reason it can't happen now, make it more fun for everyone
The reason is we have more always-on modes now that we used to (Creative, Playground, etc). We need to keep the number of modes in the playlist fairly tight in order to ensure fast global matchmaking times 24/7.
Is the LTM still only 1 day or will it last a while now that the fourteen days of Fortnite is over
We are planning on running Unvaulted Duos until Friday, then Squads through the weekend. Team Rumble is likely to stay on for a while.
Thanks for all the feedback around keeping a respawn mode on 24/7. We generally let popularity driven by data dictate what modes are on, and large team respawns historically have had good metrics, so it’s nice to see a ton of people taking the time to post about how much they like them and validate that data.
Why are there bandages if you are always one shot?
We didn't want pickaxes to give 1-hit elims, and yes the storm.
Balloons have been hotfixed off in both versions of High Explosives as of a few minutes ago.
In the squads mode there is no reason for balloons to be a thing. Why can you just hover in the sky like a helicopter while being near unkillable. Keep them in the 50s mode, but for squads this needs to be removed to make the game mode actually enjoyable.

Its almost impossible to win against someone flying over you while hammering you with rockets while you stand very little chance to hit them.

Then just build

Why would epic allow people to use balloons in the explosives? EVERYONE is in the air making it pointless to even try and fight if you don’t have any balloons because it’s impossible to shoot them down. Jesus.

Every single LTM Epic has released during these 14 days of Fortnite has had a problem with it. Whether it was airplanes in Close Encounters and Sniper Shootout or the balloons in Slide and now High Explosives. There has been a problem with each game mode that completely changes the way you have to approach the game when you play what should be fun game modes.

Can we get the planes out of close encounters!?!?
Thank you. Or add them everywhere not just in the block
Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about the vehicles that are showing up when they aren't supposed to in the Block until January, but we'll make sure to get it straightened up in the New Year. We wanted to start getting user generated content into the game as soon as possible and unfortunately ran out of time to get vehicle filtering working. Hope you understand & have a great holiday season!
Food Fight is less fun than Disco or Team Rumble, imo. Mascots are too close together, and one team almost always slaughters the other’s mascot.
They are a bit further apart this time around. Let us know what you think after you give it a few plays!
