Fortnite Fall Skirmish Week 5 Begins Today, Here Are The Rules

Another week, another Fall Skirmish. Week four 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.

Fort Knights
Dusty Dogs
Rift Raiders
Lucky Llamas

The Fall Skirmish is a couple weeks shorter than the Summer Skirmish was but it features two trials instead which helps the event remain action packed. We only have one more week to go before it wraps up before it will be presumably replaced by the Winter Skirmish.

Here’s what the format and trials are looking like for week five of the Fall Skirmish.

WEEK 5 FORMAT – ROYALE FLUSH
