Epic Games is shaking things up in Fortnite Reload with some exciting new updates. From dynamic map rotations to the introduction of a competitive Ranked Mode, players are in for a thrilling ride!
Fortnite Reload is getting a ranked mode as well as a new map.
Fortnite Reload's Next Map
Fortnite Reload, which features a smaller map inspired by Chapter 1, is now set to get a new map.

While we don’t know exactly what the new map will look like, there’s a lot of speculation that it might be based on Chapter 2, especially with the upcoming OG season bringing back elements from that chapter.
The recently released teaser for the new Rubius Icon skin also gives us hints at two well-known locations that will probably be included in the new map. In this teaser we see the Fishstick skin running around in the town of Sweaty Sands with the main building of Craggy Cliffs in the background.
Reload Gets Ranked
Another big update is the potential introduction of a Ranked Mode in Fortnite Reload. According to leaks, Fortnite Reload is set to receive a Ranked Mode, similar to the existing ranked modes in Fortnite: Battle Royale and Zero Build. This new competitive mode will allow players to rank up and potentially earn money and prizes. Although the exact release date for the Ranked Mode isn’t confirmed, the introduction of this feature shows Epic Games’ commitment to keeping the game competitive and engaging.
