Conquer Fortnite Ballistic with this Optimal Loadout!
Fortnite's new first-person squad-vs-squad mode, Ballistic, offers intense gameplay but can feel overwhelming with so many choices. This guide provides the best starting loadout to give you a significant advantage.

Ballistic starts with limited credits, but you earn more with each round. Smart spending during the buy phase is key. Here's what to prioritize:
-
Impulse Grenade Kit: Essential for rapid map traversal. In Ballistic's Search & Destroy format, speed is crucial for both eliminating the enemy team or defending the bomb site.
-
Striker AR (2,500 credits) or Enforcer AR (2,000 credits): The Striker AR reigns supreme for its damage and close-quarters combat effectiveness, though it requires mastering its recoil. The Enforcer AR provides superior long-range damage, ideal for defending bomb plants.
-
Flashbang x2 (400 credits): Arguably the most effective flashbang in FPS history, these stun enemies, creating critical openings for eliminations.
-
Instant Shield x2 (1,000 credits): Provides a vital edge in intense firefights, potentially being the difference between survival and defeat.
