Fortnite Ballistic is a new 5v5 mode launching next week in early access within the main Fortnite client.
It’s also Epic Games’ first proper foray into first-person for Fortnite – a move that has been long-awaited by some fans.
Ballistic arrives on Wednesday 11th December with one map – Skyline 10 – plus a limited number of weapons and items. These will all be expanded over time based on player feedback, Epic Games has said.
Matches begin with players sorted into teams of either attackers or defenders. Attackers must deploy a payload – a Rift Point Device – while defenders must stop them. Players swap sides after six rounds, and the game is over when one team wins a seventh round in total.
