Fortnite`s recent Teams of 20 mode has come to an end, but players won`t have to wait long to jump into the next limited-time event for Battle Royale. Epic has revealed that the next special mode coming to the popular free-to-play game will be Blitz, and it kicks off on PS4, Xbox One, and PC early next week.As previously detailed, Blitz mode features much shorter match times than usual, which Epic says results in `faster [and] more intense matches.` The maximum duration of a match in Blitz mode is 15 minutes, and each one begins with the storm circle already closing in.To go along with the shortened match times, Epic has adjusted loot availability in Blitz mode. Most notably, the likelihood that treasure chests and ammo boxes will spawn during a match has been significantly increased. Likewise, the spawn interval of Supply Drops and their descent time has been decreased, while Floor Loot spawns `nearly 100% of the time.` Harvest resources have also been doubled, and resources found in loot has been increased.Blitz mode begins in Battle Royale on March 19. Epic hasn`t announced an exact end date for the event, but limited-time modes typically run for a week. You can find more details about Blitz mode on the official Fortnite website.Following a day-long delay, Fortnite`s 3.3 patch is now available on all platforms. It removes Smoke Grenades from Battle Royale and introduces a new weapon in their place, remote explosives, which can be detonated from a distance. The update also adds Supply Llamas, a new form of loot drops that can be found hidden in unusual locations.
