Want to learn what fan-favorite game mode Fortnite brought back in the v26.20 update? The latest Fortnite update has brought many new things to the battle royale game. Considering it’s the second major update of Season 4, this comes as no surprise. However, many players were pleasantly surprised to see their favorite game mode return with the latest update.

Epic Games brought back the ranked mode for the Zero Build Solo playlist. The mode was briefly available at the start of the season, but Epic removed it after a few days. Fortunately, the mode has returned and may stay in the game permanently.

Considering how fun the mode is, we expect it to become very popular.

Zero Build Solo mode is back in Fortnite Ranked

Earlier this year, Epic Games released the Ranked mode in Fortnite Battle Royale. The new competitive mode replaced Arena and brought several new features. By completing special quests in the mode, players can unlock exclusive items that give them bragging rights.

While the Ranked mode is available in both Battle Royale and Zero Build modes, many players were disappointed that they couldn’t play it alone. Fortunately, Epic released the solo playlist for the Ranked mode at the start of Chapter 4 – Season 4, but only for a limited time. The intention was to see if enough players would be interested in this mode, and it looks like we got an answer.

However, it’s important to note that the fan-favorite game mode will be constantly available in Europe, Middle East, and NA-East server regions. All the other regions will have a specific schedule:

  • NA-Central:
    • All week: 3 PM – 7 AM UTC (11 AM – 3 AM EDT / 10 AM – 2 AM CDT)
  • NA-West:
    • All week: 3 PM – 8 AM UTC (11 AM – 4 AM EDT / 8 AM – 1 AM PDT)
  • Oceania:
    • Monday – Friday: 4 AM – 11 AM UTC (12 AM – 7 AM EDT)
    • Saturday – Sunday: 1 AM – 12 PM UTC (9 PM – 8 AM EDT)
  • Brazil:
    • Monday – Friday: 4 PM – 3 AM UTC (12 PM EDT – 11 PM EDT)
    • Saturday – Sunday: 3 PM – 4 AM UTC (11 AM EDT – 12 AM EDT)
  • Asia
    • Monday – Friday: 2 AM – 3 PM UTC (10 PM EDT – 11 AM EDT)

Of course, along with the v26.20 update, we also received plenty of new cosmetics, items, emotes, and Augments. However, what everyone has been excited for is Ahsoka Tano and her Jedi Training Lightsaber in Fortnite.
