Dive into the intense, first-person squad battles of Fortnite's new *Ballistic* mode! But with so many choices, crafting the perfect loadout can feel overwhelming. Fear not, because we've got the winning strategy to help you dominate.
In *Ballistic*, credits are tight early on, but you'll earn more as rounds progress. Smart spending during the buy phase is key to victory. Here’s your optimal starting loadout:
The Ultimate *Fortnite Ballistic* Loadout
- Impulse Grenade Kit: Essential for rapid map traversal. In a fast-paced Search & Destroy mode, speed is crucial, especially when defending or attacking the bomb site.
- Striker AR (2,500 credits): The meta weapon. While its recoil takes some getting used to, its damage output and close-quarters combat effectiveness are unmatched.
- Alternative: Enforcer AR (2,000 credits): If you prefer a long-range approach, the Enforcer AR delivers significant damage from a distance, perfect for defending the bomb plant.
- Flashbang x2 (400 credits): Arguably the most effective flashbang in FPS history, these stun enemies, giving you a clear shot.
- Instant Shield x2 (1,000 credits): A lifesaver in intense firefights. Don't underestimate the importance of quick protection.
This loadout prioritizes mobility and firepower. The Impulse Grenade Kit lets you quickly reposition, while the Striker AR (or Enforcer AR) provides the firepower to eliminate threats. Flashbangs provide crucial tactical advantages, and Instant Shields ensure you survive those crucial encounters.
