Fortnite Ballistic is the battle royale's first 5v5 FPS mode coming in just a few days, and it's aiming for a piece of Counter-Strike's pie

After some minor leakage, Fortnite's long-awaited and much-hyped first FPS 5v5 mode is coming in hot next week - and it sounds like Epic Games' own take on Counter-Strike's tug-of-war matches.

Epic Games has just unveiled Fortnite Ballistic, a 5v5 competitive mode played entirely in first-person for the first time in the battle royale's seven year history, dropping in an 'early access' state on December 11.
