Fortnite Creative 2.0 x 100 Thieves - Bank Heist Game Mode Explained

ign.com:

100 Thieves announced their new Fortnite game mode called “Bank Heist” coming to the community creator list July 11th at 11 AM PDT. Bank Heist will be available by searching the community pages or by using their island code that goes public tomorrow. I got a half hour of game time in so here’s what to expect going into Bank Heist.

Bank Heist is a 3v3 team-based game. You can queue in with a group of 6 if you want to face off against your friends and your teammates will be randomized when you enter the game mode. One team of three are the Defenders, and the other team are the Attackers.

There are four set classes you can pick: Muscle, Tank, Grenadier, and Sniper. Each has specific guns tied to their classes with the Tank having a shotgun, Grenadier getting throwable explosives, and the Sniper getting, well, a sniper rifle. There’s another class you can pick that randomizes your loadout every time you select it called Wildcard.

Each match is split into three stages: Bank Heist, Escort the Payload, and Extraction.

In the first stage, the Attackers’ goal is to infiltrate the bank and successfully drill into the underground vault. The Defenders have to guard the vault and hold off the Attackers until the timer runs out. If the Attackers succeed, stage 2 is launched.

Once the Attackers are through the vault, they’ll have to escort a payload to a designated endpoint. This stage plays a lot like Overwatch’s escort the payload concept where you have to be near the payload for it to move forward. Defenders must stop Attackers from getting the payload to its destination and run the clock down.

If Attackers get the payload to the drop point, a new building opens for them to run into, grab cash bags, and run to the getaway helicopter and
