In Valhalla Bossfight, players must prepare themselves for a boss fight. They have to take out husks in order to earn gold and purchase better weapons and healing items from the shopkeepers in the viking settlement.

Before taking on the serpent boss, they must ensure that they’re ready; if they’re eliminated mid-fight, they won’t be able to return to the small island to continue and help their teammates. This is a fun game with a clear end goal; it incentivizes players to come together, build an arsenal, and take out a big boss with bad intentions.

9 Zombieland

9369-6922-8408

Zombieland is a classic hit when it comes to Fortnite’s Creative mode, as it was one of the first Creative games to truly take off. In Zombieland, which had received consistent updates to make it better as the days go by, players will group up with friends in order to survive waves of enemies.

Players will be able to upgrade their weapons, obtain cars or tanks to take on zombies, and even collect XP while progressing through the game. While this map can be played alone, Zombieland can be played with up to eight gamers.

8 Survive The Backrooms

The Backrooms is a creepypasta that took off back in 2019 and now has inspired many different mediums, including video games. In Creative, Survive the Backrooms is a popular map in which players attempt to make it through The Backrooms without dying.

There are multiple levels for players to run through, as well as multiple waves of ‘entities’ that players will have to fight. Using UE5 for creative 2.0 maps, Survive the Backrooms has fantastic assets that make the game even more enthralling. With up to 10 players, squads with more than four players can enjoy playing together in this Creative title.

7 FNAF Scary Survival

1864-8667-0230

Five Nights at Freddy’s has inspired dozens of Fortnite Creative maps, most of which use the IP entirely; FNAF Scary Survival does just that. In FNAF Scary Survival, players take part in one of two teams. In the first team, fans can play as animatronics and hunt down the rest of the lobby.

As the surviving team, players will attempt to outlive others and make it to the end of the match. FNAF Scary Survival is a brilliant map and earns points for its ability to allow players to dawn animatronic suits. With the likes of Chica, Freddy, and more, the jumpscare potential is endless.

6 Infected

0157-2279-6109

Infected is a take on Call of Duty’s Infected game mode, in which an enemy team only uses melee weapons to try and track down the other team and turn them into ‘infected.’ When a player becomes infected, they play for the opposing team.

This goes on until there’s a single survivor, which boils down to their victory or the infected team’s takeover. With a whopping 20 players, Infected can become very hectic in the middle of a match. At 30 eliminations, much like Call of Duty, a nuke will explode, eliminating the enemy team.

5 Survival Games

0326-8397-9394

Battle Royale games have taken much inspiration from The Hunger Games, which depicts a type of battle royale. In this Creative Maps, Survival Games, fans essentially get to play out a game that is reminiscent of The Hunger Games.

Survival Games features a large map with a storm that slowly seeps in, as well as other events that take place to test the survivors’ will. Up to 24 players can fit into a match of Survival Games, all of which can choose their factions before being thrown into the battle royale.

4 Nightmare School

8894-0005-5598

Horror maps are very popular in the free-to-play game, making survival-horror maps some of the most frequented games in the directory. Nightmare School is an incredibly well-made survival-horror map that pits a squad in a literal nightmare school. The plot of Nightmare School places players in a position to rescue their classmates, all of whom have fallen asleep and can’t wake up.

To wake them up, players will need to activate the fire alarm, but doing so requires many actions to be taken before. With impressive graphics and invigorating jumpscares, Nightmare School is a fantastic survival-horror map for friends to check out.

3 Grandma

1316-9772-0528

Grandma is another survival-horror map in Fortnite’s Creative mode that allows four players to join up together and attempt to survive. In Grandma, fans will attempt to escape a grand map full of secrets and surprises while running from Grandma.

Grandma, who is impressively made in UE5, is capable of taking out players fairly quickly and has the potential to jumpscare players as well. Puzzles will need to be completed all while attempting to escape, making this survival-horror map a bit complicated. Luckily, if Grandma were to take out a player, they could respawn to attempt the map again.

2 Zombie City: Bossfight

1301-9879-0360

Even though it has zombies and husks to take out, Zombie City isn’t a horror game, so it’s perfect for players who would rather avoid jumpscares and want to focus on surviving a horde. On this Creative Island, players have to take out brutes and collect research vials (Zombie Research) while exploring and getting ready for a boss fight that spawns a few minutes into the match.

Taking out zombies and earning XP increases their Survivor Level, which gives them access to new floors and better weapons. On top of this, they can collect coins that can be spent on the Mod Bench in order to improve their weapons.

1 Survival Rush

3002-9262-6738

Survival Rush is another zombie title that pits players against hordes of enemies but in a more DayZ-like setting. In one of Fortnite Creative’s largest open worlds, Survival Rush is home to dozens of items, resources, enemies, locations, and so much more.

Players will get to choose an occupation that they withheld before the apocalypse, which gives them different gear to start with. In this large map, up to 32 players can join in, making for one of the most grand experiences in all of Fortnite Creative.
