Fortnite is replacing its Final Fight game mode with a reliable favorite

Fortnite Battle Royale is swapping the Final Fight limited-time mode with the tried-and-tested 50v50 LTM.

In a Reddit post today (June 29), Epic Games announced that it’s replacing Fortnite Battle Royal‘s Final Fight limited-time mode (LTM) with the tried-and-tested 50v50 LTM.

The Final Fight game mode forced teams to travel to a third and final circle, where the storm was halted and a countdown clock began. Whichever team had the most players alive at the end of the countdown won the round.

Final Fight has been the subject of serious criticism since its launch on June 19th. Fortnite players have scorned the vast distance between the second and third circles, which made Final Fight more of a race than a battle for players unlucky enough to be on the other side of the map. They’ve also pushed back against the LTM’s victory condition, which stands at stark contrast to the winner-take-all survival victory inherent to the battle royale genre.

The new 50v50 LTM

The 50v50 LTM that’s replacing Final Fight will have some new guidelines compared to previous 50v50 game modes. Epic Games appears to be using this 50v50 LTM as an excuse to garner data and feedback on two of its newest items and weapons; according to the same Reddit post by Epic, this 50v50 LTM will contain twice the normal rate of dual pistol spawns, twice the normal rate of bounce pad spawns, and 50% greater resource rates.

This 50v50 LTM will also utilize the same storm patterns as Fortnite Battle Royale‘s 50v50 version 2, where the final storm circle is visible at the start of the match.

The Ugly History of Dual-Loyalty Charges

When Representative Ilhan Omar recently complained about “the political influence in this country that says it is okay to push for allegiance to a foreign country,” many noted accurately that she had deployed a trope—dual loyalty—that had been used against Jews for years. But this accusation has a broader history in the United States, having been used against several religious minorities—including Muslims like Omar. Indeed, many battles over religious freedom have revolved around dual-loyalty claims. [ Read: Ilhan Omar just made it harder to have a nuanced debate about Israel ] In the 19th century, many attacks on Catholics stressed that these immigrants were pawns of a foreign power. In the 1830s, Samuel Morse—then a prominent painter and later the inventor of the telegraph—urged Americans to build “walls” and “gates” to keep out Catholic immigrants, who would always be loyal to Rome. Because these Catholic immigrants were decrepit —“halt, and blind, and naked”—they were easy to co...
