Fortnite introduces Ballistic, a new game mode that takes inspiration from Counter Strike

Battle Royale games like Players Unknown BattleGrounds (PUBG) have steadily declined in the last couple of years, but Fortnite has been able to stay afloat, thanks to Epic Games keeping things fresh by introducing new maps, themes and game modes almost every season.

As it turns out, the gaming studio has announced a new game mode that looks and sounds a lot like Counter-Strike and Valorant. In a blog post, Epic Games unveiled Ballistic, a 5v5 tactical competitive game mode where players are “sorted into two teams at the start of the match: attackers and defenders.”
