Thanks to popular Fortnite creative ‘nellaf,’ players will soon be able to drop into the iconic Modern Warfare 2 map in Epic’s battle royale title.

Set atop a skyscraper in New York City, Highrise became one of the most popular maps in Call of Duty history for a number of reasons. From memorable spawn kills while sniping across from one building to another, to the countless trickshots that took place on the cranes.

While the code for the map hasn’t been made available just yet, nellaf will be releasing it at some point throughout the weekend starting March 7.
