For those who just felt deterred not to try the game because of the sweaty builders, well rejoice, there will be a LTM mode without building.

Might give the game another try then. Played it wayyyyy back when it dropped but the building stuff annoyed me despite nabbing a couple of wins. Couldn't hurt to see how it plays without any building at all.
The TDM mode started as LTM and now it's a staple
They look at the numbers of a LTM and make a decision from therw
My least favourite thing in Fortnite is hitting someone with two bullets and in between the first and second bullet hitting they've built a perfect 1:1 recreation of the Burj Khalifa.
I assume they are starting with a LTM to gauge interest.
If they see a ton of people playing and enjoying the mode they might end up keeping it permanently down the road.
I also feel like this would be the "casual mode", as well. Meaning all the sweats would obviously still play the default game due to it being the core experience with the highest skill ceiling so playing a No Build Mode could actually be pretty fun and chill.

LTM does not mean it will say for oen week and vanish. It is coudl be a etsting ground for somethign permanent. Team rumble and Impostors started as LTM too but are now permanent modes.
Exactly like TR and Impostors.
I'll be glad to try it out but I don't even need the game to go to the extreme of no building, it would be nice if building had some sort of limits to it and wasn't this unpolished messy mechanic that had little forethought in its PVP design.
sign me and my gang up. weve always liked the aesthetic of Fortnite but that building shit aint for our old asses.
That would also be kind of interesting. Like a Cooldown on building so you can still put up walls, ramps, floors and so on but you can't spam it. Enough to be useful but not endless.
God, anything, have there be some time before you take out the blueprint page so that you can't materialize a 10x10ft wall hitbox a frame after shooting, whatever. The building in the game is like if Rainbow Edition was what Street Fighter 2 actually was. The mechanic is cool, unique, and is very much a big part of what makes the game stand out, but it's just so sloppy and cheesy to play with.
If it helps, Impostors and Team Rumble were both LTM's until the latest season (RIP Team Rumble). I could honestly get behind this game mode as long as the wins we get in this are counted as actual wins like we would in playing a builder lobby.
Sounds interesting to me. I've played Fortnite super casually over the years, but I don't know, something about building has always felt a bit intimidating to me. I've tried my hand at it a few times, but otherwise the few matches I've played I've mostly wound up just not bothering with it and seeing what happens. I know you're not obligated to build stuff (especially in a solo mode where you're not bringing a team down or anything by potentially being a bad builder), but personally I would appreciate a permanent mode with it turned off, if that's what this is going to be.
But again, I've played the game super casually, so I realize my opinion probably doesn't count for much in the way of community feedback and such.

I'd play again. I stopped because kids would build a fort around me and then light it on fire and kill me. I need an old person mode
It's weird how the building animations are obviously designed with the assumption that people wouldn't be spamming it, seeing as it takes like 5 seconds for each piece to assemble itself yet you can walk on it as soon as it's placed. It just looks so janky to look at.
It's the main thing that sets it apart from other battle royales, but it's also something that a lot of players don't engage with, at least in my experience. Maybe most do, but there's at least a decent chunk that don't. It can be hard to wrap your head around, especially in the middle of an encounter.
I'd play the hell out a build-less mode. I hate trying to build things with a controller.
If you're talking about Team Rumble that has been permanent for awhile now.
One could argue what the point of the Battle Royale mode was when the actual game was a Co-Op PvE survival horde mode. The building mechanic in the BR mode is a broken mechanic that has been exploited by a small percentage of players into something that a mainstream audience seems to find exciting to watch.
IMO removing the building mode certainly isn't necessarily a fix, i'd personally like to see them rework the entire system to feel more organic and less spammy, but at the same time, when I play, I hardly use the building until the end game anyways, i suspect a lot of players don't build a lot or often as well.
Yeah, it stopped being Save The World (Tower Defense) and became Battle Royale due to the massive popularity difference. The building may have set it apart from others, as well as the third person view. Time will tell if not having to worry about building will make for a better experience for a ton of people.
I'm with the building but there's always that one good match that gets ruined in the end by an OP master builder, used to drive me crazy lol
There are probably situations where someone will be completely boned, but the game's added so many mobility tools since launch -- I mean, we have web slinging in the game right now.
I think the issue it raises is that the game's map design may not be suitable for this because you'd lack cover...whereas in other BR games you can go to cover in Fortnite you had to build it.
A better way may have been a limited build mode wherein building is slowed down and/or limited in numbers etc.

Oh shit. I might actually enjoy the game now. The worst partw as always the building imo. The idea is solid but in practice it's just a mess of fences and ramps and shit the moment you ping a person. The rest of the game is fine. Might actually play some now.
Yeh, just thinking in the instance where it's a persistent mode over time. Since you'd imagine they'd have to account for it in those moments.
