Those of you who’ve played the new Fortnite season will surely agree that it’s great. Many of you may have a passionate distaste for service games, but the way Epic has made minor tweaks to the Battle Royale’s core gameplay to give it a rapid, action-packed pace is to be applauded. Of course, traditional construction mechanics are scheduled to return soon.
Or are they? Well, it looks like the developer has been laying the foundations for an alternative Fortnite experience. A data miner has uncovered new code in the game which points to an all-new playlist: No Builds Battle Royale. You’ll be able to play Solo, Duos, or Trios with building disabled. Further proof comes by way of fresh tooltips, which refer to “modes where building is enabled”.
Plenty of people still like the building gameplay, of course, but personally we’re enjoying this new season without it. If it does become a permanent addition – which, let’s face it, is almost certain right now – then we reckon we’ll probably play with the feature disabled for the foreseeable future. How about you?

Sounds like a good idea and after a while they’ll know which one to get rid of.
Building is fortnite's 'thing' though isn't it?
Though the games been around so long they surely know what their players are interested in.
So much better without building - and I wasn’t one of the anti-building people before this season.
All of the new gameplay features introduced in Chapter 3 so far have been great (sliding last season and sprint/climb/shield recharge this season). Good stuff.
Ah! My most played game on PS4.
Building was something innovating so it's a shame, but I got tired of it the more I played.
Idk. Kind of want the game to have it so it's not a typical third person shooter BR.
@OmegaStriver They won't remove either lmfao
With all the mechanics they've added over the years, I might just hop back on. I've only played season 1, but it got interesting again
It's fun, no doubt. Hopefully Epic does keep the mode but they sure have added in so much since I last played. Vehicles, mantling, sliding, spider webs even the battlepass looks full of cool looking stuff. Had no idea, but I'll stick with it for this season, at least.
@RubyCarbuncle "The keys from keyboards go flying everywhere like Lego."
The imagery on this one was funny lmao
Never been anti-building but it did damped my interest once I figured out I'd never win without being able to be good at that side of it. Gave the new mode a try last night and came 3rd and 5th so I might actually get a win this weekend!
That being said, I was always completely in awe of those who hear one bullet and then build a four storey fortress in seconds whilst shooting back.
Funnily enough its how ive always played (no building) and i've always done well with loads of wins solo and squads.
As someone who usually hates building, there have been moments when I wanted it badly 😂
Definitely makes winning easier for me without, but those tanks are a pain in the ass
The building parts has always been one of the main reasons I’ve never gotten very interested in Fortnite.
So can totally understand why they’d have it as permanent addition.
