Fortnite leaks reveal major changes to Arena mode with Zero Build

A recent leak suggests that the competitive Arena in Fortnite could be getting a Zero Build mode soon.

Building has been the foundation of Fortnite since its inception. The basis of this particular battle royale was predicated on the fact that you could build forts during the heat of battle and use them as a defensive measure against your opponents.

However, since the beginning of Chapter 3, Season 2, Epic Games has been toying around with the idea of Fortnite minus the fort.

Introducing Zero Building and taking away the mechanic that players have relied on for so long threw the community for a loop and became a controversial decision in the long run.

But some players loved the concept of Fortnite without building and wanted to see Epic Games build upon this idea.
