Garog and Samael from theUnreal Tournamentseries are shown in the video, and the caption of the video confirms that these two characters are going to join the game on December 10, just a day before the Ballistic mode enters its early access.
Whether it is Epic Games’ strategy to revive that abandoned series or not isn’t yet sure, but players have been excited about these two things coming at the same time before the year ends.
Rumors were all around the air about these two characters joiningFortnite, especially since Shiina revealed this on her Twitter. Now that it is confirmed that these two are making their way to the game, players are curious whether Malcolm will also join next.
Ballistic Mode Is Bringing a Bucket Full of Features to Enjoy
A lot of changes are made in the latest season, at least about the game modes,Epic Games has been trying its best to improve them. However, Ballistic mode is a little different from the current battle royale mode. It is more likeCounter-Strike.
In this first-person mode, players will be sorted into two teams, each containing 5 players. Players can either be on the attackers’ side or the defenders’ side. The twist here is this is a no-build mode. So, skills will be the ultimate thing to survive.
Respawn Should Take Inspiration From Fortnite and Introduce a Key Change in Apex Legends to Make Ranked Experience Better
While attackers will be on their mission to plant a Rift Point Device on one of the two sites, defenders must stop them from doing that. If the Rift Point Device detonates, the round is over. There’s no respawn in this mode. Additionally, if one team completely eliminates the other team, the round will be over.
Generally, the Rift Point Device takes 45 seconds to detonate. Therefore, as soon as it is planted, ensure to run away from it, so you don’t get killed. Otherwise, once you are killed in a match, you will lose all the weapons and equipment you have gathered during that match.

A team needs to win 7 rounds to be the winner, and after the sixth round, teams will swap roles. So, attackers will become defenders and vice versa. Every time, a match will start with players having a Ranger Pistol and 800 Credits.
Players can gather more credits in each round by eliminating enemies and, like inCounter-Strike, use them to purchase or upgrade high-tier weapons and equipment. But players need to survive every round to bring these items to the next round.
Reportedly, at launch, Ballistic mode will be available on all the platforms and in every region whereFortniteis supported. Currently, South Korea and Russia will be the two exceptions. However, soon Epic Games will bring this mode to these countries as well.
