Fortnite Ballistic, a new 5v5 tactical competitive mode played exclusively in first-person, has launched in early access. The mode pits attackers against defenders, tasking one team with planting a Rift Point Device while the other tries to prevent it.
Flex Gadgets
At the start of each match, players choose one of five powerful Flex Gadgets:
- Proximity Mine: Placeable explosive that detonates when shot or triggered by an enemy.
- Bubble Shield: Deploys a temporary protective bubble.
- Recon Grenade: Marks enemies through walls.
- Frag Grenade: Standard grenade that damages enemies (and yourself, but not allies).
- Impulse Grenade: Scatters both enemies and allies, useful for repositioning.
First-Person Island Creation
In addition to Ballistic, Epic Games has enabled creators to publish custom islands using the First Person Camera Mode device. This opens up exciting possibilities for new first-person experiences within Fortnite.
