Fortnite enters the 5v5 FPS arena with upcoming Ballistic mode
Fortnite is laying down a challenge to games like Counter-Strike and VALORANT with its upcoming Ballistic mode, featuring first-person five-versus-five gameplay in a new twist on Epic’s formula.
Slated to be released on Dec. 11, Fortnite’s Ballistic mode marks the first time that the devs step into the 5v5 tac shooter space. If you’re familiar with CS and VALORANT, then the learning curve won’t be very steep for you: Five players on either side will play rounds as attackers and defenders, and the first to win seven rounds takes the map. Instead of a bomb or Spike, Ballistic mode has the Rift Point Device.
