Fortnite Ballistic: Optimized Loadout for Maximum Impact

Conquer Fortnite Ballistic with this Optimal Loadout!

Fortnite's new first-person squad-vs-squad mode, Ballistic, offers a thrilling challenge, but the sheer number of choices can be overwhelming. This guide provides the best starting loadout to give you a significant advantage.

Ballistic starts you with limited credits, but you earn more with each round. Use this currency wisely during the buy phase to upgrade your loadout. Here’s your ideal starting purchase:

• Impulse Grenade Kit: Essential for rapid map traversal. In Ballistic’s Search & Destroy format, speed is crucial, whether you're aggressively pushing or defending a planted bomb.
• Striker AR (2,500 credits): The meta weapon. While it has noticeable recoil, mastering it delivers devastating close-quarters combat capability.
• Alternate Weapon: Enforcer AR (2,000 credits): A strong alternative if you prefer long-range engagements and defending bomb sites.
• Flashbang x2 (400 credits): Arguably the most effective flashbang in FPS gaming history. Stun your opponents for a clear shot.
• Instant Shield x2 (1,000 credits): A life-saver in intense firefights. Don't underestimate the speed at which the tide can turn.

This loadout maximizes your early-game effectiveness. For additional tips to improve your Fortnite gameplay, check out our guide on enabling and using Simple Edit in Battle Royale.
