Slurp Rush will be the third map in Fortnite's respawn-heavy battle royale mode

Fortnite Reload Is Getting A New Chapter 2-Themed Map Tomorrow

Slurp Rush will be the third map in Fortnite's respawn-heavy battle royale mode

The new map will feature eight named locations, several of which appear to be lifted directly from the Chapter 2 battle royale island, and a few others which are inspired by it. Slurpy Swamp is at the center, which will make for a pretty big change of pace from the urban environments of Tilted Towers and Paradise Palms, the centerpieces of the other two Reload maps. Considering how expansive the swamp is on the map below, it seems as though there will literally be healing slurp just lying around all over the place.

Fortnite Reload is an OG-ish battle royale mode in which you'll automatically respawn as long as your team doesn't wipe--or, if you're playing solo, you haven't used up all your lives. Reload takes place on much smaller islands than the standard battle royale one, and has a limit of 40 players. Currently, Reload rotates between its two maps every 30 minutes. Presumably, the Slurp Rush map will join that rotation, but not until after an introductory period in which it's the only map available.

Reload, which was presumably inspired by Call of Duty Warzone's similar Resurgence mode, launched last summer in both build and zero-build varieties and was an immediate hit. Nearly a year later, Reload is Fortnite's clear No. 2 mode after battle royale, pulling in far more concurrent players than the permanent OG mode that Epic dropped in December.
