A Fortnite Gun Game limited-time mode has been leaked new LTM’s release date. Little is obviously known about Fortnite Gungame, which has its own unique spin on this game mode, but we’ve done our best to round up everything worth knowing about it. Find out more with our Fortnite Gun Game guide.
Fortnite Gun Game | Leaked limited-time mode
According to Twitter user FortTory, a well-known Fortnite leaker, files about a potential Gun Game mode were unearthed after the game’s 8.20 update went live on Tuesday, April 2.
The limited-timed event is thought to be called “Reverse Gungame.” Basically, players start with the same powerful weapon at the beginning of matches. For every kill that you get, your weapon is swapped out for a less powerful one. The winner of each match is the person who can progress through these weapons, ranked best to worst, before the timer runs out.
It’s a unique spin on other Gun Game modes that are found in other games such as Call of Duty WW2. With matches limiting the number of players to a suspected 20, you won’t have to run around chasing dozens other players before you’re crowned the victor.
Fortnite Gun Game | Release date
As of right now, Fortnite Gun Game doesn’t have an official release date. This will be obvious to most of you, as it’s only just been found hidden away in the game’s files.
Judging by its inclusion in the 8.20 update though, we can work out when it might land. Massive Fortnite updates occur pretty regularly, especially when new seasons are introduced. We’re only three weeks into Season 8, so it’ll be around for a bit longer.
That means that the Gun Game mode could land sometime in the next two or three weeks, typically on a Tuesday as that’s when updates usually dropped. Expect something on either April 9, April 16, or April 23. This would give you a chance to play it before any leaks about Season 9 start to emerge. Don’t be too disappointed if it doesn’t show up in that time frame though. These features can be postponed for unforeseen reasons, but hopefully it’ll be patched in sooner rather than later.

10 of Fortnite's Rarest Skins
Whether you're dropping into Fatal Fields or Greasy Grove, you want to look your best. Fortnite has countless skins, but there are those select few that prove that you put the work in. Whether you were just an early adopter or racked up the kills, here are a look at some of the rarest Fortnite skins around. -
Dire
Howl at the moon as Dire, the Werewolf Ninja Hero popping straight out of Save the World. It was the Tier 100 reward of the Season 6 battle pass, but that only got you his human form. To get him all wolfed out, you needed to complete a set of six challenges during the season. -
Galaxy
Would you purchase a cell phone just to get your hands on a Fortnite skin? Some people just may have done that to get Galaxy, the skin only available to owners of Samsung Galaxy phones and tablets during the Android beta period. He's shiny, but not that shiny. -
Giddy Up
Show your love for Fortnite's loot llamas by riding an inflatable one into battle. This jokey costume was available at Tier 23 of the Season 6 Battle Pass and comes with a custom emote. The female version of this skin, Yee-Haw!, is purchasable at the item store. -
Merry Marauder
Merry Marauder is an angry looking gingerbread man who released onto the item shop in December of 2017. He's a holiday-oriented fellow, so he only pops up when Santa is done checking his list twice. Purchasing him will also net you the Mini Marauder back bling, although that doesn't seem to make this ginger man any happier. -
Nightshade
Once you reached Tier 86 of the Season 6 Battle Pass, you received Nightshade. A female version of Tomatohead, she and her Night Cloak back bling are all part of the Pizza Pit theme; the perfect complement when you're fighting against the Burger menace. -
Recon Expert
Decidedly less flashy than other skins on this list, Recon Expect is rare solely due to its release window. It was one of the first skins to hit the shop, before the influx of players that made Fortnite the phenomenon that it is today. While it may rotate back onto the store someday, it's a rare find. -
Renegade Raider
Similar to Recon Expert, Renegade Rider only showed up very early in Fortnite's lifespan. Unlike Recon Expert, that apocalyptic melee weapon makes her fit in a bit more with the skull soldiers and vampires we're all used to seeing. Keep a lookout to see if this Raider will ever climb out of the bunker again. -
Royale Bomber
The Royale Bomber is a PlayStation exclusive, but that's not all. You only got this sunglass toting agent if you purchased specific PlayStation hardware. A controller in the U.S. and a console bundle in the European region. It's quite a hassle to look this good. -
The Reaper
Baba Yaga. The Boogeyman. The Reaper. All of these names apply to John Wick and also this somehow completely unrelated skin in Fortnite Awarded at the end of the Season 3 Battle Pass. Just don't tell anyone in Hollywood, I don't think they've noticed yet. -
Trog
Trog is love. Trog is life. Trog is the reward for Tier 71 of the Season 7 Battle Pass. We may never know where Trog is looking thanks to his famous cross-eyes, but we know that he loves all his children equally and also he is going to shoot some fools with a shotgun. Trog.
