Fortnite Expands Horizons with the Launch of Ballistic: A New First-Person Experience
Dec-10-2024
The release date for Fortnite's first-person mode is December 11, 2024. This early access launch will initially include a single map and one mode. Although it's anticipated that additional content will be rolled out, no specific details have been confirmed yet.
As the upcoming season draws near, make sure to stay informed about the latest developments by checking in regularly official communication channels for any announcements. This page will also reflect ongoing updates.
Upon launching, Fortnite's Ballistic Mode will feature one map, named Skyline 10. Set in a futuristic urban environment reminiscent of previous major locations, Skyline 10 is designed to enhance the combat experience outside the traditional battle royale format. While further details are sparse, the official communications hint at future updates including new maps, weapons, and features.
Ballistic is designed for 5v5 gameplay without building mechanics, where players engage in planting and defending a bomb against the opposing team intent on defusing it. Each round concludes if the device explodes or if all players from one team are eliminated. After six rounds, teams will alternate roles, with the match ending once a team secures seven round victories.
Participants begin their journey armed with a Ranger Pistol and a sum of 800 Credits. Throughout the game, Credits can be earned via eliminations and successful bomb placements. This system allows players to acquire upgraded weapons and gear before the next round begins, effectively allowing them to tailor their loadout as the game progresses. Additionally, there will be both Ranked and Unranked modes, with options for players to rejoin games in the non-ranked variant.
