Game at a Glance: Fortnite Builds
In Fortnite's Builds mode, players can construct structures such as walls, floors and ramps using materials like wood, brick and metal. Building provides protection, high-ground advantages, and creative ways to trap or block opponents. In Trios play, three-player squads drop into a shrinking battlefield, combining shooting skills with fast building tactics to outlast opponents. Teams earn points through eliminations and placements, with a Victory Royale as the ultimate goal.
