Epic Games is about to quit fortnite Creators are releasing experiences with first-person modes, and to help show what's possible, Epic itself is unveiling a tactical FPS shooter that looks like it will look a lot like counterattack either Valuing.
The new mode, called “Ballistic,” is “an adrenaline-filled, round-based 5v5 competitive game mode where strategy, tactical teamwork and individual skill are essential to victory.” according to an Epic blog post. Players will be split into two teams, one who will have to plant the bomb (sorry, I mean the “Breaking Point Device”) and one who will have to defend against it. Between rounds, you will be able to purchase equipment for the next one. Teams will switch sides after six rounds, and the first to win seven rounds will be crowned the winner.
This isn't the first time Epic has adopted a game idea for Fortnite: Its career and festival modes borrow heavily from Psyonix. rocket league and Harmonix rock band (Epic owns both studios), the Lego Survival mode has many similarities with minecraftand Epic even admitted that the (now defunct) Impostors mode was inspired by Among us. Heck, the game's main Battle Royale mode was actually a spin-off that followed the success of PUBG.
But now that Epic is trying to make fortnite into something more like Roblox (another inspiration!), where players are encouraged to try many experiences instead of just one, modes like Ballistic and Reload. Let Epic experiment with different ideas without changing the core Battle Royale experience. And since you bought fortnite Costumes and gear generally work in all modes, but Epic also has a financial incentive to add more experiences.
Ballistic releases in early access on December 11. fortnite Creators will be able to publish their own experiences with first-person modes. <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/FNCreate/status/1864747437384176063″>that same day.
