The athletic area just west of Tilted Towers is mostly Rec Center.The southeast area full of houses between the truck stop and Paradise Palms is commonly known as Mexico.The area filling with shipping containers west of Lonely Lodge can go by "crates", "boxes", or "shipping".The Viking mountain has gained traction as "Valhalla".The skull-faced building on the mountain northeast of Snobby Shores is typically "villain base".
The location with RVs northeast of Retail Row can be some variation of "Trailers", "Campsite", or "Trailer Park".The large hole in the ground east of Motel is Umbrella (which was actually used by Epic in a "treasure hunt" weekly mission).Most of the unnamed landmarks in Chapter 1 had nicknames, due to the game not providing one.Likewise, the Chapter 2 Island is often referred to as "Apollo" due to it being its codename in the files.
The unnamed Battle Royale island is sometimes called "Athena" coming from the location's in-game file name. The named locations are simply shortened to their first word. Every now and then the acronyms can pass for a legit term - the Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle becomes SAS Rifle (referencing the British special forces), and the Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle becomes the TSA Rifle (since the actual TSA also uses thermal imaging). The alternate title of the Hand Cannon is the Deagle. Heavy snipers are usually called just that due to the other "heavy" weapons. Snipers are divided between bolts (bolt-action), semis (semi-automatic), and hunting (hunting rifles, natch). The remaining shotgun, the double barrel, is usually interchanged with the name " sawed-off". The first three shotguns types are classified as pumps (pump-actions), tacs (tacticals), and heavies/assault shotties (heavy shotguns, the latter part being added due to several other weapons getting "heavy" variations). The remaining four assault rifles are referred to as their real-life counterparts, being the M16, SCAR, FAMAS, and AK, and the Drum Gun is simply referred to as the Tommygun. The burst assault rifle is typically just shortened to "burst". Many weapons have received all manner of nicknames:. A rare case of displacing a word, typing "fortnight" (which means "a period of two weeks") on Google will instead ask you if you meant to search Fortnite. The original Save the World mode has to use the subtitle to distinguish itself note This is a common problem in the official subreddits, as trolls would make posts about how Battle Royale sucks but actually post it on "r/FORTnITE" rather than on "r/FortNiteBR". When someone talks about Fortnite, it is mostly referred to the Battle Royale mode.
