The Default Placeholder for all LTMs and Core Modes

Limited Time Modes or LTMs are a type of playlist available in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They often add a unique twist to the default game mode, and are sometimes added as permanent modes due to popularity.

This list does not contain Live Events, Permanent modes, Arena, or Randomized playlists like Operation: Snowdown.

Description[]

Limited Time Modes are playlists that add a unique change to the Standard 100 player Battle Royale, or alternatively Team Rumble formula. Some modes change up the accessible Loot Pool, such as Unvaulted, and others change the formula entirely such as Air Royale.

Limited Time Modes can exist in the game for anywhere between a few hours, or an entire season. Later on in the season, other Limited Time Modes unrelated to the existing season begin to cycle.
