Can you play Fortnite OG in Zero Build?
Yes, Fortnite OG supports Zero Build.
Zero build is a fan-favourite game mode, and the old map is best experienced without any ridiculous towers ruining the landscape. It can also be traversed with the game's modern mechanics, including sprinting and mantling.
Similarly, reboot vans have made their way to the old map. They allow player revives, making sure nobody misses out on the action (so long as their team can save them.)
