Fortnite expands its universe with new team-based shooter Fortnite Ballistic

Fortnite has expanded beyond its battle royale roots, introducing various game modes to attract different players. The latest addition, Fortnite Ballistic, launched in early access on December 11, targets fans of team-based shooters like Valorant and Counter-Strike. In Ballistic, players are divided into attackers and defenders, with gameplay focused on planting or defusing explosives. The game features a more serious tone and industrial-themed maps, contrasting with Fortnite's whimsical style. While Ballistic has technical issues, such as connection problems and UI glitches, it shows potential with its precise shooting mechanics. Epic Games aims to create a solid first-person shooter experience, though it may not rival established titles immediately.
