History VideoGame / Fortnite

* ClownCar: The Battle Bus holds up to 100 combatants. A standard American school bus, which makes up the primary component of the Battle Bus, can seat up to roughly 60 adult passengers. Granted, it's likely that the remaining combatants are standing inside the bus or sitting on its floor, but especially considering that they're carrying pickaxes, gliders, and optional Back Bling, that bus is practically a pocket dimension. Averted in 50v50, Final Fight, and Team Rumble where each team has its own Battle Bus and each team consists of a more bus-accomodatable 50 players in the former mode and 20 players in the latter two.

* NinjaRun: Possible with the use of the "Full
Tilt" emote.

* TasteTheRainbow: All four Hero classes come in both genders and four ethnicities, with each combination having his or her own name and usually a different mix of special abilities. The image above depicts A.C. ([[ShockAndAwe Shock Specialist]] - Outlander), Ken ([[FragileSpeedster Fleetfoot]] - Ninja), Ramirez ([[NonIndicativeName Rescue Trooper]] - Soldier) and Penny ([[DropTheHammer Tank]] - Constructor).

* DropTheHammer: The Tank variant of the Constructor has bonuses to hammer critical chance and damage.

*** All ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' sets follow the format of their character, with all but Mr. Meeseeks being followed by ", C-137".

** Chapter 4 Season 3 sees the addition of [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]], who transfoers his consciousness into a man-high body that can no longer transform. This was actually the premise of the ''Action Masters'' toyline.

* CoolGuns: The ranged weapons on offer. Most are based on real-life firearms, and the rest are fictional. The [=FN SCAR=] assault rifle is especially sought after in Battle Royale mode due to its rarity.
** AKA47: Those based on real guns have their names filed off and replaced with generic names (Assault Rifle, Submachine Gun etc) or have cool names given to them (The M60 "[[NamesToRunAwayFrom Terminator]]" as an example).
** GunsDoNotWorkThatWay: Unfortunately, while the guns are cool, some of them do not work as intended. One of the ''fully-automatic'' shotguns is based on the Kel-Tec [=KSG=], which is ''pump-action'' only, and feeds from twin ''tube magazines'' rather than a removable drum.

** At some point Epic decided to take all the season 6 playground minigames and stick them together in a bunch of connected floating platforms over Battle Royale island. Prepare to build like mad... or just grab those new balloons.

* ItCanThink: Implied. The Storm (or the husks themselves if they are some kind of hive mind) is implied to be intelligent and capable of recognizing priority targets that need to be destroyed. This is especially apparent at the last stage of a "repair the shelter" mission when Ray notes that the husks are regrouping and seem to know that the final shelter module is being installed, and that it's their last chance to attack before the shelter becomes fully operational.

* InterfaceScrew: The "Timeless" questline is about the fallout from the previous time-jolting story, where our heroes apparently "broke time", which causes the sun's position in the sky to shoot up and down, tripping between day and night regardless of actual time passage. Timed missions still proceed as normal though, and the "screw" part really kicks in when certain abilities like Dire running faster at night activate ''when it's not nighttime.''

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Ray is sometimes spelled as "[=RaY=]" in certain text boxes. She takes notice of this in one Canny Valley mission related to "reality hiccups".

''Battle Royale'' and ''Creative'' are available for free with the option to purchase cosmetic items on UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS, UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/PlayStation5, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, UsefulNotes/{{Android|Games}}, and UsefulNotes/{{iOS|Games}}. However, the iOS version is currently unavailable for download due to Apple removing the game from the App Store.

''Save the World'' is only available on the Windows, UsefulNotes/PlayStation and Xbox versions. It was to become free-to-play in a manner similar to ''Battle Royale'', but on June 30, 2020, Epic Games reversed course and made Save the World an exclusively paid mode.

* '''''Rocket Racing''''': Released in December of 2023, this is an arcade racing mode that serves as an off-shoot of ''VideoGame/RocketLeague'', with cosmetics being able to transfer between the two games. Co-developed by Psyonix.
