‘Floor Is Lava’ Is The Newest Fortnite Limited Time Mode

floor is lava bannerRemember when you used to play the “Floor is Lava” when you were a kid. You’d hop around the house jumping on the sofa, pillows, coffee tables, and any “safe” area you can get to. Well, Fortnite Battle Royale has just been updated with a new Limited Time Mode with the same name as the children's game and basically the same rules.

“Lava gradually rises from the lowest parts of the map, and it’s hot! Drop in and quickly loot and gather materials so you can be the first to reach the high ground.


Mode Details

  • A few minutes into the match, the lava will begin to rise.
  • The lava moves at a steady speed until the entire map is covered.
  • Touching the lava will apply damage directly to your health and bounce you up in the air.
  • You can build on the lava.
  • Players will be given a small number of materials every second, to help out in those 'entire map is on fire' situations.”

Patch v8.20 also introduces the new poison dart trap, new foraged consumables in the form of Bananas, Coconuts, and Peppers, and the usual round of tweaks, improvements, and bug fixes. You can browse through the detailed list of changes in the full patch notes.
