When loading in FortniteYou will automatically find yourself in the “Play” section. Here you can select different game modes to play. Most of the modes are fan-made and can be played with friends. But if you want to play the vanilla Fortnite or other official Epic modes, you need to scroll down until “From Epic.” From there, you should see all of Epic Game’s official game modes Fortnite is known next to the studio's logo on the thumbnail.

Once you're here, you'll see modes like Ranked Reloaded, Ranked X Trials, and more. The ranked modes are lobbies usually intended for people looking for more of a challenge. Most of these people are looking for other highly skilled players to improve their rank Fortnite Leaderboards.

If you're looking for a more casual game, keep scrolling until you land on Battle Royale mode, aka Vanilla Fortnite. That's the kind of game that Fortnite is primarily known for. The rules for this mode are simple: the last one standing wins. From here you can choose between two types of Battle Royale: Build and Zero Build.

If you're looking for a faster-paced battle royale, you can always play Reloaded. Like normal mode, this can also be played in Build or Zero Build. However, it should be noted that this mode is significantly different from the normal BR mode. The map is much smaller and OG inspired Fortnite. If players die, they can respawn as long as the feature is enabled and their teammates are still alive. If this sounds a little familiar, that's because it's Epic's version Call of Duty: Warzone Rebirth Island Mode. The games usually run much faster and can be more intense. So don't expect a slow game.

To change lanes a little, there is Lego Fortnitewhich is like a completely different game. In short, this is Epic's version of Minecraft and other survival games. There is some story, but the main goal is to build a base and survive as long as possible. This is a third-person mode in which you compete with various fantasy beasts and monsters.

To add variety, there is also a mode called Rocket Racing. As the name suggests, this is a mode where you and other players compete against each other. The rules are pretty simple: be the first to cross the finish line and you'll win. Think of this mode as Fortnite Mario Kart if that helps.

The last major mode is Fortnite Festival. This mode allows you and other players to play licensed music from artists like Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, and even original Fortnite songs. This is a rhythm-based mode in which you are tasked with pressing the correct keys as they appear. There are two types of festival modes you can play. The first is the main stage. Here you all work together and fight to get the highest score. The other is the Battle Stage, where you compete to see who gets the highest score.
