Fortnite Ballistic: Flex Gadgets Explained

Fortnite is now edging closer and closer to the release of a brand new Chapter, and it feels surreal to say Chapter 6 Season 1 is nearly here.

With this brand new Chapter also comes a brand new game mode, as Epic have just announced Ballistic.

Here's what we know about the new Flex Gadgets. 

Fortnite Ballistic: Flex Gadgets Explained 

Waiting for the next Fortnite season is something no one truly enjoys but this time round it'll be well worth the wait. 

However, there's even more coming as Fortnite will be releasing first person tactical FPS, that appears to be similar to CS2 and Valorant. 

Flex Gadgets are going to be special items that players get the chance to use, and these include the following. 

  • Select the Proximity Mine to place a damaging mine down on the floor, wall, or ceiling to surprise an unsuspecting enemy. They can be picked back up and placed again and will explode if shot. Great for booby-trapping sites when defending!
     
  • The Bubble Shield allows for throwing down a temporary protective bubble that’s impervious to bullets and projectiles such as grenades. It’s great for providing a shield for your team as you storm onto a site. 
     
  • The Recon Grenade gadget marks any enemies detected nearby where it’s thrown, even through walls. Throw a Recon gadget onto a site before entering to get a read on who might be waiting to get the drop on you.
     
  • Old faithful! A thrown Frag Grenade will bounce and explode, dealing damage to nearby enemies. Careful — you’ll take damage from your own grenades (though your allies will not). Great for flushing players out from behind cover.
     
  • The Impulse Grenade gadget is a disruptive tool that launches enemies and allies away. It has many creative uses, such as launching teammates onto a site from afar.

In the meantime, be sure to get well equipped for the action with our Stealth Ultra Xbox controller.
