SypherPK Showcases a New Lara Croft: Tomb Raider Themed Game Mode in Fortnite

Fans got their first look at Lara Croft in Fortnite on March 16th with the Chapter 2 Season 6 update. Upon her addition, she joined a long list of female heroes starring Catwoman, Storm, and Mystique. Recently, Epic also introduced a new Tomb Raider-themed exotic weapon and limited-time mode.

Fortnite has also given Xbox players a chance to play as Aloy. She is the main character in the Horizon series, which is otherwise a PlayStation exclusive. In a recent blog post, Epic Games announced that the addition of Aloy would be celebrated with a new limited-time game mode.

The game mode is called Team Up! Aloy and Lara and will pair players in duos. In teams of two, each player will be assigned either the role of Lara or Aloy. Those playing as Aloy will wield a bow which they can further craft, whereas Lara will wield dual pistols.

The “Team Up!” game mode was originally supposed to go live on April 16. However, Epic delayed it due to some issues with the LTM not appearing on certain platforms. The limited-time mode will now run from Friday, April 23 at 9 AM ET to Sunday, April 25 at 9 AM ET.

In his latest video, SypherPK decided to test his skills in this new model. He teams up with one of his fans who is ecstatic to be in a game with a Fortnite legend like Sypher. Hassan goes on to dominate the game with Lara Croft’s dual pistols and carries his team to the victory royale.

Epic has also added a new Grappling Bow exotic item into the battle royale. It can be purchased from the new NPC Lara Croft at Stealthy Stronghold for the price of 500 gold bars.

The item is similar to the grappler in terms of functionality. A well-aimed shot will propel a player extremely long distances. It is a much-needed mobility item in a game that is in desperate need of them.
