Fortnite: New Team Rumble LTM Brings Team Deathmatch To Battle Royale
Plenty of players who hop on the battle bus in Epic Games’ Fortnite are looking to get down on the competitive gameplay the title has to offer. 100 people enter and 1-4 combatants claim sweet Victory Royale. That said, many have wondered how team deathmatch would play out on the island.
Luckily, Epic has introduced a new Limited Time Mode that does exactly that in their latest patch. Team Rumble brings the popular game mode to Fortnite, with two teams of 20 facing off against one another. Of course, respawning is enabled, and the first group to 100 eliminations will be awarded the Victory Royale. Check out more information on the new LTM below:
