Update: The 50v50 has run into an unexpected issue at this time and has been put on hold until further notice. We will update this piece when we know more.

Earlier this week, Epic Games deployed their v4.5 update for the wildly popular battle royale title Fortnite. With the latest update came two limited time modes, the Playground and Final Fight Teams of 12. Unfortunately, Playgrounds was pulled almost immediately for server issues and now - Final Fight goes as well. It's OK though, the second change was per player request, not because of any functional issues.

Epic took to Reddit to give fans a new update:

"We’ve heard your feedback regarding the Final Fight LTM and we agree that the mode isn’t quite in a state where we want it to be. Due to this, we’ll be disabling Final Fight and re-enabling the 50v50 LTM at 10AM EDT."

This time around 50v50 will have:

Double normal Dual Pistol spawn rate
Double bounce pads spawns
+50% resource rates
50v50 v2 storms

50v50 is a hugely popular mode for fans and comes at the perfect time with the Double XP Weekend going on now. It's the best way for players to enjoy a familiar mode while we wait for the hotfix to go through for Playgrounds.
