This guide will tell players what they need to know about the upcoming Ballistic game mode in Fortnite. Here, gamers will learn about its release time, future changes, weapons, maps, and much more.
What Is Fortnite Ballistic?
Ballistic is an upcoming first-person shooter game mode, which will be available in Fortnite. In Fortnite Ballistic, a team of five players will battle it out with an opposing team throughout several rounds.
During the first six rounds, the Attackers team must attempt to place the Rift Point Device on one of two designed sites, while the Defenders team tries to prevent this at all costs. It will take 45 seconds for the Rift Point Device to explode, but if it does the Attackers win the round.
It is not possible to respawn in Fortnite Ballistic, so to win, the Attackers must successfully complete their mission or eliminate the Defenders team. Whereas to win, the Defenders must take out the five Attackers.
Once the six rounds are over, the Defenders will now be the Attackers. The team that gets to seven wins first is declared victorious and the match comes to an end.
When Can I Play Fortnite Ballistic?
Fortnite Ballistic Release Date and Time
Fortnite Ballistic will be available in early access on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. Although an exact release time has not been confirmed, it is likely to go live at 9 AM ET / 2 PM GMT, as this is the time that quests drop as well as most previously released game modes.
Is Fortnite Ballistic a Permanent Game Mode?
Even though Epic Games has not confirmed if the Ballistic game mode will be a permanent addition to Fortnite, it has made it clear that it wants to keep improving this mode through fan feedback and eventually get it out of early access. Additionally, it will also feature a Ranked game mode. All of this is evidence that Epic wants to continue working on the Ballistic game mode for Fortnite rather than take it out of the game in a few weeks.
However, it is possible that it could be removed if it is not a success among fans and not worth the cost of maintaining and working on updates for the future.
Available Maps, and Items in Fortnite Ballistic
Fortnite Ballistic will be released in early access, which means it won't have as many features as the developers would like. This will be worked on in the future, but for now, here is what Fortnite Ballistic will include starting December 11:
