The Battle Royale landscape is continuing to change and evolve, and with the arrival of Apex Legends, it’s up to Epic Games to work hard to ensure that Fortnite isn’t left in the dust. And to that end, they have now just released a brand new update for the game, and like many updates before it, it doesn’t just bring in new balance changes, it adds new gear, and new content like limited time modes!
The first of these new Limited-Time Modes is called Driftin, which makes use of the newly added Driftboard item:
Summary
Gear up and grab a Driftboard from a Red Supply Drop, meet up with your team, then race to eliminate the enemies. Last team standing wins!

But wait! There’s more, there’s another new limited time mode in Fortnite via this update, and it definitely puts a new twist on things. It’s called, Catch!:
