Fortnite Finally Getting Official First-Person Mode, But It's Not Battle Royale

Fortnite Chapter 6 is adding so many new modes, including the FPS deathmatch mode, Fortnite Ballistic

If you survive a round, you can keep your stuff, and if you die you have to buy new items. Be warned that if you win a round by detonating the Rift Point Device, you might still die in the explosion, which is going to be an interesting wrinkle for teams who have to defend the armed bomb from a team that wants to disarm it. The first team to win seven rounds takes the whole match.

In its announcement for the mode, Epic describes Ballistic as being "early access," rather than a fully featured new mode. That tracks with the fact that Ballistic will have just a single map at launch, the city-based Skyline 10.

Fortnite Ballistic will arrive with both ranked and unranked varieties. In ranked, the game will not backfill your team with new players if your allies leave--but if your game crashes or disconnects, you'll actually have a three-minute grace period to get back in, something Fortnite has never allowed in an official mode before. And, yes, there are leaver penalties in ranked Ballistic, including a short matchmaking ban.

Despite being a first-person mode, Fortnite Ballistic will support most of Fortnite's cosmetics, including skins and emotes.
