Fortnite Battle Lab arrives: Create your own battle royale modes

As expected, Epic released Fortnite version 11.31 this week. In addition to Winterfest and various bug fixes, the update also adds ‘Battle Lab,’ a new way for players to create their own battle royale islands. This new feature differs from Playground — rather than creating worlds and fun games, players are given the ability to play battle royale games with their own rules.

The distinction between Playground and Battle Lab may not be immediately clear. Whereas Playground gives players access to the complete battle royale island, Battle Lab enables them to actually create battle royale games. Players can fight each other in Playground but the experience differs from a proper battle royale game.

Players can create their own battle royale mode for up to 15 of their friends; there’s also the option to set matchmaking with default options for a public lab. Players are also given the ability to choose which ‘combat scenarios’ they want using Bot Grenades, to adjust fall damage and gravity levels, and choose from various Limited Time Mode pools.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwPuIXAknL0.
