Epic Games just launched Fortnite Zero Build, a No-Build battle royale gameplay option that should force players to operate based on combat skill alone. Such a content release comes only days after datamined information pointed to Fortnite potentially receiving a permanent No-Build mode.

The limited-time mode in question went live with the Season 2 update a little over a week ago, an update that also introduced a Doctor Strange-starring Battle Pass. Of course, the new gameplay option stripped Fortnite of its most unique quality, culminating in Epic developers adding an extra shield, Overshield, as a way to compensate for the removal of building capabilities. Chapter 3 Season 2 debuted a whole host of other interesting mechanics as well, namely climbing, parkour, and Shoulder Bash. However, the latest addition to the battle royale experience is what will have players flocking back to the Island in droves.
