The Pit of Legends takes an established Fortnite concept and elevates it!
The Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) tool has allowed map creators to fulfill their wildest desires, helping bring life to some genuinely iconic experiences. A new map on the Fortnite Creative landscape is called The Pit of Legends, brought to life by design studio JOGO.
This map takes the popular "Pit" concept and adds unique twists to keep it fresh and enjoyable. Here is our official review of The Pit of Legends Fortnite map.
The Pit of Legends breathes new life into an established landscape
The Pit is a Creative concept that has been around for many years. It drops players into a free-for-all setting where they can customize their loadout and battle others with building enabled.
JOGO's The Pit of Legends Fortnite map (5629-1247-4118) adds an RPG element to a familiar setup, allowing players to select one of three legends with special abilities enabled.
Those three legends are Rampage, Sweet Tea, and Xero. After selecting a legend, you will acquire skills to use on your opponents over time.
- Rampage
- Overtime - When your shield cracks, enrage with fury and gain a 25% damage increase for 4 seconds.
- Second Wind - Cover yourself with spark energy, immediately gaining 50 overshield and increasing move speed by 30% for 4s.
- Berserk - Equip Rampage's Nitro Fists, breaking all builds and jumping in the air for 10s. Additionally, increase max shield by 100 for the duration
- Sweet Tea
- Jet Burst - Spark your jet boots to dash through the air activating incredible mobility.
- Gravity Pull - Open a black hole at your position, pulling in enemies in front of you in a small area and damaging builds.
- Dead Eye - Equip a tactical combat AR with enhanced capabilities for 12s. The AR locks onto targets in front of you, so you never miss for the duration.
- Xero (Unlockable at level 100)
- Soul Taker - Capture the souls of enemies you eliminate to gain a stack of Soul Essence. Each stack of Soul Essence gives you an 8% damage buff, stacking up to 4 times.
- Blade Storm - Summon a tornado of darkness that swirls around you for 15s, damaging enemies inside for 25 (+5 per Soul Essence) damage per second for the duration. Deals 200 damage to builds instead.
- Zero Edge - Equip Xero's Kinetic Blade for 15s, capable of insta-eliming any enemy.
These complex abilities in The Pit of Legends Fortnite map add unpredictability to a Fortnite map you have probably played hundreds of times. It's not just the same fights and weapons every time, making each encounter different than the last. Furthermore, you can add more skills as you level up.

The RPG element offers variety and endless combinations
While each character in The Pit of Legends Fortnite map provides different abilities, you can allocate your skill points and swap your skills at will as you level up each character. For example, once you reach level 44 with one of the three legends, you can customize your skills loadout by choosing from one of 15 options.
We had a lot of fun just using the default skills, but the character progression makes playing and leveling up even more rewarding.
How is the gameplay?
The Pit aspect of this map is exactly what you'd expect. You choose your weapons and healing items before jumping into the pit.
It differs in the skills we've mentioned a few times, which allow you to run faster, grant a damage boost, dash abilities, and more. These skills elevate the overall experience of The Pit of Legends gameplay while keeping the same Fortnite pit foundation.
Overall verdict: The Pit of Legends Fortnite map is worth a try
Those who enjoy The Pit will likely feel similarly about The Pit of Legends. Although it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it's fun to experience something with more depth to it.
There is enough here to keep you coming back for more. Maximizing each of the legends will provide endless gameplay options while you attempt to full-piece your opponents.
Other aspects we didn't cover include acquiring keys to open Chests and securing potentially rare in-game banners. As more legends join over time, The Pit of Legends Fortnite map will surely grow.
