Fortnite Ballistic was a tactical first-person shooter game mode for Fortnite. It was released into early access on December 11, 2024. It received mixed reviews from critics upon its early access release. It was shut down on April 16, 2026 due to low player engagement.
Ballistic was a tactical first-person shooter accessible via the Fortnite launcher.[1] In the mode, two teams of five players compete against each other across several rounds, with one team aiming to plant a "Rift Point Device" at a designated location on the map, and the other team attempting to stop them.[1] When a player is killed, they cannot respawn until the next round; the round can also be won based on which team is the last one standing.[2] In-between rounds, players can purchase weapons and other types of equipment to use against enemy players, such as pistols, shotguns, and grenades. Similar to other tactical shooters, like the Counter-Strike series and Valorant, the guns are more accurate when players are standing still.[2] The first team to win seven rounds wins the match.[3]
