Fortnite Introduces Ballistic: A New 5v5 First-Person Shooter Mode

Epic Games has announced the launch of a new game mode within Fortnite titled ‘Ballistic,’ a 5v5 first-person shooter (FPS) that is set to revolutionize the gaming experience for Fortnite enthusiasts. This new mode is a significant departure from the traditional third-person perspective that Fortnite is known for, offering players a fresh and immersive first-person gameplay experience.

Ballistic is designed as a standalone game within the Fortnite ecosystem, featuring both Ranked and Casual game modes. Players will be able to engage in competitive matches with a focus on strategy and skill, similar to other popular FPS games like CS:GO and Valorant. The mode includes a variety of first-person weapons, each with its own unique characteristics and playstyles, which are detailed in recent gameplay breakdowns and live streams.

To access Ballistic, players need to download or update Fortnite on their preferred platform, including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices. Once inside the game, players can navigate to the Epic Games modes section of the menu, where they will find the Ballistic mode listed. The menu interface has been slightly modified to accommodate this new addition, and players can favorite the mode for easy access in the future.

The release of Ballistic marks a new chapter in Fortnite’s evolution, expanding its appeal to fans of first-person shooters while maintaining its core Battle Royale experience. Live streams and gameplay trailers have already begun to showcase the mode’s features, generating significant excitement among the gaming community.
