A new LTM has also been added this week called Team Terror which uses the monsters from the Fortnitemares event.

Players will be split into two teams of 32 and will try to eliminate the other team while also dealing with Cube Monsters.

The monster spawners will appear all around the map and players can destroy them to get items and ammo.

The Blitz LTM also makes a return and offers a fast-paced version of the main Battle Royale mode.

During the game the storm is already moving in at the start of the match and the wait between each storm is much shorter.
