Fortnite Ballistic: What We Know, First Person, Map and More

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 game mode.

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

While Chapter 6 Season 1 is off to a high start, fans of Chapter 1 are going to be pleased with the return of the OG map.

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

First Person, Full Impact

What does early access mean for Ballistic? Ballistic is launching with the Skyline 10 map, a starting set of weapons, and a limited number of items. Adjustments will be made beyond launch based on player feedback, in addition to major updates such as new maps, weapons, and features.

Round By Round

In Ballistic, players are sorted into two teams at the start of the match: attackers and defenders. Attackers aim to plant a reality-tearing Rift Point Device at one of two sites on the map, while defenders do their best to thwart the device from being planted and detonated.

The Rift Point Device

There are no respawns in Ballistic — a round is over if the Rift Point Device explodes, or either team is fully eliminated. After 6 rounds, players will swap sides, giving defenders a chance to be attackers and vice-versa. The game is over when either team has won 7 rounds total!
 

Go Ballistic!

You’ll start the game with a Ranger Pistol and 800 Credits. In Ballistic, Credits can be earned from scoring eliminations and planting the Rift Point Device, and spent within a match at the beginning of every round on additional items and weapons to bolster your chances of success.
