A gulag-like system that allows fallen teammates to respawn may be coming to the battle royale.
It looks like Fortnite will borrow a feature from one of its competing battle royales, should recently surfaced leaks prove to be accurate. According to prominent Fortnite leaker Shiina, the Epic Games title is adding something very similar to the Gulag from Call of Duty: Warzone.
This feature is purportedly called "Restarter Island," and it'll have eliminated players compete in a random 1v1 minigames, with winners respawning back into battle royale matches. One of these minigames is a simple duel, similar to the Gulag system in Warzone, with another described as a best-out-of-three Rock, Paper, Scissors showdown.

Fellow Fortnite leaker Blortzen adds that other Restarter Island minigames include a "Shockwave Deathmatch," in which players have to use shockwave grenades to knock each other off, and sprint races between players, with one variation adding deadly baseball bats for competitors to use against each other.
Blortzen emphasizes that these leaked maps are in a "really really REALLY early state," speculating in an X post that Restarter Island is either an upcoming addition to Fortnite or one that has been scrapped entirely. Shiina, conversely, seems confident enough to say that the mode is "COMING SOON."
This wouldn't be the first time the battle royale game has taken notes from one of its competitors--Fortnite added a respawn system and pinging shortly after the release of Apex Legends, which innovated on the genre with those features. Fortnite Reload is also very similar to Warzone's own Resurgence mode.
In other Fortnite news, the Hollywood-themed first season of Chapter 7 is now underway, reportedly attracting a concurrent player count of around 3 million, but also receiving accusations of using generative AI art.
