Fortnite have removed Blitz but fans want to see it return permanently

Fortnite fans on Reddit are asking Epic Games to bring back Blitz as a permanent mode, after it was removed from the game on Friday, November 9.

Epic Games announced that Blitz would be leaving the game just three days after it was added back, being replaced by the Disco Domination game mode.

Blitz is a quicker version of Fortnite’s classic gameplay, with an increase in loot, along with plenty of action thanks to the game’s storm closing in on players quicker.

Reddit user ‘Masterfirret124′ believes Epic Games should bring the game mode back as a solo playlist called ‘Quick Play’, where players are forced to go it alone in a quickly shrinking play area, instead of in squad, which is how Blitz is currently played.

Quick Play would be perfect for players who don’t have a lot of time to play as games only last around fifteen minutes, compared to normal matches which generally take between 20 and 25 minutes to complete.

Fortnite fans in the comments of the post were on board with this idea, describing it as “awesome”, and begging Epic Games to make this change.

Blitz would return as a new mode named Quick Play.

The Disco Domination Limited Time Mode that has replaced Blitz sees teams of 50 battle against each other, with the goal of securing the five different dancefloors spread around the map, with the team who holds them the longest winning the game.

At the time of writing, it is unknown if Blitz will be making a return to the game either as a squad game or as a solo game, but we’ll be sure to keep you updated as news becomes available.
