Now that Fortnite Zero Build mode is a permanent feature of the game, Epic has rolled out some new challenges and rewards to get people playing.

When Chapter 3 Season 2 of Fortnite launched, building was removed from the game entirely. But it was short-lived, which makes sense given that building is one of the core mechanics that sets the title apart from other battle royale games. 

But Zero Build has remained in Fortnite as a dedicated mode, which should please many players. And now you have an incentive to get involved thanks to the Fortnite Zero Build Trials which will award you sprays for completing the Daily Challenge. If you hit the stretch goal for a given day, you'll unlock the Boosted Groundsurfer Glider.  

The Zero Build Trials are only sticking around for one week, so here's everything you need to know to get your rewards.

Fortnite Zero Build Trials: when do they start?

If you're asking this question, you're already lagging behind! The Zero Build Trials are live right now. 

If you missed the first day, don't worry – you can still get the daily rewards on the
last day of the challenge. In fact, if you miss any of the daily challenges, there's a second chance to pick them up.

You can sign up for the trials by heading to the Zero Build Trials website (opens in new tab) and logging in with your account.
