Plus, you’ll soon be able to prove your skill, precision and teamwork in the new tactical 5v5 FPS, Fortnite Ballistic, launches into early access on December 11.
If you’re struggling to keep up with the news, don’t worry — we’ll break everything down for you starting with the upcoming new regime.
Fortnite goes first-person with Ballistic
ballistics yield one first person, 5v5, adrenaline-filled, round-based competitive mode for Fortnite.
Assemble your squad as strategy, tactical teamwork and strength are what it takes to win in this all-new Fortnite experience.
All new gameplay
At the start of a Ballistic match, you will be placed in one of two teams – the offensive team and the defensive team.
The attackers’ goal is to plant the Rift Point Device, a reality-tearing explosive that can be placed at one of two locations on the map. The defender’s goal is.. defense! Do what is necessary to prevent the attacker’s plan to install and detonate the device.
Every health issue is important in Ballistic. There are no respawns in this mode and rounds will quickly end if one of the following happens; The Rift Point device explodes or a team is completely eliminated. After six rounds, the attacker becomes the defender (and vice versa). Take home victory after winning a total of seven rounds with your team.
Light the fuse
Each player starts on a level playing field with 800 credits to spend and the Ranger Pistol weapon. Think strategically, how you choose to spend your ballistics credits can determine your success in ballistics.
Accumulate more credits by discarding points or planting Rift Point Devices during your attack rounds. At the beginning of each round, you can use credits to unlock an arsenal of weapons such as Nemesis AR, Thunder Burst SMG, Reaper Sniper, etc. to increase your chances of winning.
You can hold two types of weapons, one is your main weapon and the other is the Ranger Pistol. You will be able to keep your weapons, shields and non-consumable items for the next round..if you survive. Just defeated an enemy? Feel free to pick up their weapons to use in the next round, seekers.
While the Rift Point Device can ensure victory for your team, make sure you are sheltering at a fair distance away. The explosion is unforgiving and being eliminated means you will lose any items and weapons you have. You have 45 seconds, after successfully activating the device, to take cover.
Sharing is caring in Ballistic, support teammates by dropping your weapons and items at any time during rounds. Dynamite is more stylish than them? You can also drop flashbangs and smoke grenades. If a teammate gains more money from discards, they can drop weapons for you by spending their money.
Fortnite outfits, Kicks, Wraps, Sprays and Emotes from your Locker are also available to equip. The cosmetics you cannot bring into matches are Black Blings, Pickaxes, Contrails, Instruments, Vehicles and Jam Tracks.
Supreme utility
With each ballistic match start, you’ll choose one of five versatile Gadgets – Proximity Mine, Bubble Shield, Fragment Grenade, Recon Grenade, and Pulse Grenade. Choose wisely, when you lock your gadget you will be the only player on your team who can purchase and use that gadget during the match. If you use your Flex Utility correctly, you can win.
Early Access and Fortnite Ballistic
Ballistic will launch with the Skyline 10 map, a starter weapon set, and some limited items. Once launched, adjustments may be made based on player feedback, alongside major updates such as new maps, weapons, and features.
At launch, Ballistic will be available on all platforms and regions where Fortnite is supported, except South Korea and Russia.
