Fortnite’s Ballistic: New First-Person Mode Arrives December 11

Fortnite’s Ballistic: First-Person 5v5 Squad Shooter

Get ready for a new way to experience Fortnite! Epic Games is launching Ballistic, a thrilling first-person, 5v5 squad-based mode arriving December 11th. This intense mode is a departure from the traditional third-person battle royale, focusing on tactical combat and teamwork on the Skyline 10 map.

Gameplay Details

Ballistic features round-based gameplay where attackers try to plant a Rift Point Device while defenders prevent them. Matches are a race to seven wins, with no respawning—making every round crucial. The mode initially launches with a limited arsenal, expandable based on player feedback. Building is disabled, but players can still use their favorite cosmetics.

Tactical Gadgets

Flex Gadgets add a strategic layer to the gameplay. These include:

• Proximity Mine
• Bubble Shield
• Recon Grenade
• Frag Grenade
• Impulse Grenade

Ranked and Unranked Play

Ballistic offers both Unranked and Ranked modes. Unranked provides a casual experience, while Ranked matches reward skillful play and strategic victories, penalizing early departures. The ranking system considers wins, losses, eliminations, and assists.

Customization and Future Plans

Players can customize their first-person experience with settings for reticle spread and recoil feedback. Epic Games plans to add new maps, weapons, and features to keep the mode fresh and exciting. Available on most platforms, Ballistic promises a unique and adrenaline-pumping Fortnite experience.
