Notes

Tactics Showdown 5

Solo, Duo, Squads

"This mode encourages tactical combat and building by putting a cap on the amount of resources and ammunition players can carry. Player-built structures also start off with less health than normal, and when players are eliminated they will drop fewer resources than normal."

v4.40

The mode's splash icon was reworked into the splash for the "Wild West" LTM.

Fortlite 6

Solo, Duo, Squads

???

v9.10

Normal Battle Royale, but with half of the players (50).

"Last man standing rules, but players have the ability to turn into different props around the map"

Likely scrapped in favor of the Prop Hunt Creative LTM released shortly after.

Automatics 8

Solo, Duo, Squads

"The only weapons in the game are the automatic firing ones. Spray and pray!"

v9.30

Likely scrapped for not being as complex as the other LTMs featured in the "Summer Splash" event.

20v20

"Using only water balloons and their wits, two large teams fight for the Victory Royale in an action-packed mode where the first team to get the target number of eliminations wins!"

Essentially the "Splashdown" LTM in a large-team format.
