Fortnite Ballistic is going to be receiving a major update on June 18.

Epic Games has surprised Fortnite players by revealing that its upcoming June 18 update will be packed with new features for the popular Fortnite Ballistic game mode, which is still considered to be in early access. Fortnite recently launched Chapter 6 Season 3 of its battle royale, but it would seem that there’s plenty of content coming for the title’s other game modes as well.
Epic Games recently gave players the ability to forfeit a match in Fortnite Ballistic by taking advantage of its “vote to surrender” feature. Many players were excited about the addition, as sometimes it can feel like a match is beyond recovery. Matches are also filled with a lot of variables, such as players who may disconnect or drop, which creates a serious disadvantage for the remaining members of the team. The ability to forfeit allows gamers to end their current round and jump into a new one, which can help keep fans from getting too frustrated by lopsided teams.
In a recent post on Twitter, Epic Games gave players their first look at what they can expect to see in Fortnite Ballistic when the game’s next update goes live on June 18. From what was shown, gamers can look forward to seeing a new Fortnite Ballistic shell map make its debut, which has many fans excited. The map is called K-Zone Commons, and it features dense alleyways that will likely force players to think tactically before engaging in combat. Other shell maps will also be receiving updates based on player feedback.

The post also mentioned that players will have access to new gadgets and weapons in Fortnite Ballistic. The trailer showed off a machine pistol that allows players to fire off a lot of rounds in quick succession, which should be useful in the tight alleys of the K-Zone Commons. Gamers will also have access to a healing item called the Medmist Grenade, giving fans a whole new way to take cover while receiving some support. Epic Games has also asked the community to continue providing feedback, as it is helping developers focus on where the game mode can be improved.
Fortnite Ballistic isn’t the only game mode getting a big update, as Epic Games recently announced that it will be launching LEGO Fortnite Expeditions on June 18 as well. While the details are still a little slim, it has been revealed that LEGO Fortnite Expeditions will debut three new Hero Classes, which are sure to grant players unique abilities in the upcoming game mode. With so much content to enjoy and even more just around the corner, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
