The Fortnite community is buzzing with the recent leaks regarding the fate of the beloved Zero Build mode in the upcoming Chapter 4 Season 5.

Fortnite Leaks Unveil: Zero Build Continues in Chapter 4 Season 5

The tweet suggested that Epic Games had set up zip lines throughout the Chapter 1 map to ensure the playability of Zero Build mode without any hitches. However, the name "Fortnite OG" isn't confirmed yet.

Zero Build mode, introduced in 2022, quickly became a staple among players who preferred a more traditional battle royale experience without the building element, focusing instead on gunfights and utilizing the environment to their advantage​.

The mode deviated from the core mechanic of building structures for protection or gaining high ground, offering an alternative gameplay experience that many players found refreshing.

But, as the end of Chapter 4 Season 4 approaches, with the next season expected to begin on November 3, 2023​, whispers of change are in the air. Rumors fueled by various leaks have been suggesting that Zero Build might be on the chopping block, with some leaks even indicating that it could be put on hold for a month​.

Additionally, other leaks have hinted at the temporary removal of advanced movement mechanics like tactical sprinting and climbing, which could also be disabled in Chapter 4 Season 5, only to return in Chapter 5​.

Despite these swirling rumors, recent developments have confirmed that Zero Build is here to stay. This confirmation has come as a relief to the community, debunking the speculations of Zero Build's removal​​. The mode's retention assures players of continued traditional battle royale gameplay, even as other gameplay elements might see temporary alterations.

The conflicting leaks and official confirmations highlight the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of Fortnite's gameplay, keeping the community on its toes as they eagerly await what Chapter 4 Season 5 holds in store.

Stay tuned for more updates as we delve deeper into the leaks and official announcements concerning Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 5, and particularly the fate of the Zero Build mode.
