Game Play.
The main gameplay for Fortnite Battle Royale follows the standard format for the battle royale genre. The game normally is played either with each player on their own, or in a squad of two, three or four players, with up to 100 players participating each round. The round starts with players, weaponless, skydiving from a flying "Battle Bus", then landing onto the game's map, simply known as The Island. The Island's fixed layout includes several landmarks and locations (mostly named in an alliterative fashion, such as "Tilted Towers", "Pleasant Park", and "Retail Row") that are mostly ghost towns during matches, while a random distribution of weapons, shields, and other combat support features can be found either as "floor loot" or by searching chests scattered in buildings and other sites. In addition, hostile NPCs were introduced in February 2020, which can be fought for additional and (typically) improved items, as well as friendly NPCs in December 2020, which can sell items such as weapons or consumables, or provide services such as acting as bot teammates or healing players.
