Another week of Fortnite’s Fall Skirmish kicks off today and with it comes a whole new format.
If this is your first week tuning it then you probably aren’t aware of the changes from the Summer Skirmish. The two events are largely the same except the Fall Skirmish ups the ante just a little.
There are two trials this time around and there are also five different teams that compete with each other in this event.
- Bush Bandits
- Fort Knights
- Dusty Dogs
- Rift Raiders
- Lucky Llamas
Here’s a quick side note about the Rift Raiders for those who are interested. Top Fortnite player Turner “Tfue” Tenney uploaded a cosplay video where he dressed up as Jonesy, one of the default no skins in the game. Tfue spots a llama on a boogie board and dives off a bridge into the water after it. It’s probably worth 38 seconds of your time to watch.
