The Halo saga comes to Fortnite Battle Royale twice. In addition to the Master Chief / Master Chief skin, a Capture the Flag game mode set on the Blood Gulch map from Halo: Combat Evolved has also been added to the Epic Games title. We tell you everything we know about this new Creative mode of Season 5 of the Battle Pass of Fortnite Chapter 2:
Fortnite: this is the Capture the Halo Flag mode in Blood Gulch
Although at the time of writing this news, the playlist is not public yet, it is possible to access this island in Fortnite’s Creative mode by entering the following code in one of the teleportation terminals in the waiting rooms: 5394-2533 -7196.
We can enter Blood Gulch using the code 5394-2533-7196
The Capture the Flag mode in Blood Gulch is a very faithful recreation of both the game mode and the homonymous map of the Halo saga, but within Fortnite. Two teams of six players each compete to see who is the first to reach five enemy flag captures, or to see who has the most captures when the ten minutes of the game are up. In the event of a tie for flag captures, the team wins with a total number of eliminations.
A look at the base of the red team
In this game mode we will always respawn with a rare tactical assault rifle (blue), an epic tactical shotgun (purple), and two small shield potions. Throughout the stage we will find weapons at fixed points that simulate the original locations of weapons and objects in Blood Gulch in Halo. For example, we will find a heavy marksman rifle in the areas where the precision rifle was in the original game.
In Capture the Flag we must defend our flag and steal the flag of the enemy team
There are also vehicles, in the form of the golf cart and the Quadtaclismo quad, to be able to move quickly through the huge stage.
Vehicles such as the golf cart and quad are available in Capture the Flag in Blood Gulch
Finally, other relevant information is the fact that, with the flag collected, we can hit with it as if it were a melee weapon, as it already happened in Halo.
We can use the enemy flag as a melee weapon
In addition, we can ride in the vehicles with the flag, this being a fairly popular strategy when it comes to taking the enemy flag back to our base.
Using a vehicle to flee with the flag is one of the classic strategies in this map and mode
