There were already rumors and leaks before, but now it has been confirmed by Epic Games after their recent announcement of Fortnite Ballistic. They have finally introduced a first-person shooting mode in the game.
The early access is scheduled to go live on December 11, 2024 and with this new mode, the game’s competitive scenario is surely going to be shaken. Let’s check out more details in this article.
Early access release date and gameplay for Fortnite Ballistic
For now, early access will start on December 11, 2024, with one Skyline 10 map and selected weapons and items. This mode will gradually evolve based on feedback from fans and the community.
Gameplay Mechanics
This feature will be similar to the attacker and defender format, where attackers aim to plant a Rift Point Device at one of two sites, while defenders strive to ruin this objective.
This is very similar to Valorant, Counter-Strike 2 and Call of Duty. So many fans and gamers will not have any problems regarding the game mode.
Every player is going to start with a Ranger Pistol and will have 800 credits. Eliminating your enemies or planting the bomb will give you more credits for the next round. Then you will be able to purchase more weapons according to the strategies in Fortnite.
From the start, players have the option of a competitive ranked mode or a more casual unranked experience, provided to players of all skill levels.
