Everything you need to know about Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.10 update) early patch notes
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.10 update) early patch notes reveal Ballistic, 5v5 First-Person Shooter
Epic Games revealed a new mode called Fortnite Ballistic, which is a 5v5 First-Person Shooter. It does take inspiration from other games of the sort, such as Counter-Strike and Valorant, but it's set in the Metaverse. It will be launched in early access on December 11, 2024, which means that it will tweaked for a while.
In Ballistic mode, players will face off against an opposing team of five. Attackers will have to plant a reality-tearing bomb and defend it until it detonates, while defenders will have to stop this threat in its tracks, to win. Sides are swapped after six rounds, allowing team roles to switch. The team that wins a total of seven rounds will emerge victorious.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.10 update) early patch notes suggest the addition of Fortnite OG Ranked
Epic Games had mentioned that Fortnite OG Ranked would be implemented soon, but a timeline was not provided. However, according to veteran leaker HYPEX, the mode will be introduced to the game after the latest update goes live. You can expect the Ranked OG playlist to be similar to that of Battle Royale/ Zero Build Ranked. More information will be provided soon.
Potential upcoming collaborations with Cyberpunk, Cars, Demon Slayer and Kong
Based on Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.10 update) early patch notes, we could see several collaborations go live as soon as the update drops. Collaborations with Cyberpunk, Cars, Demon Slayer, and Kong are top contenders, as there were leaks regarding the same. That said, Demon Slayer will likely be the first collaboration, as it fits Chapter 6 Season 1's Japanese theme.
Winterfest 2024
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.10 update) early patch notes suggest that content for Winterfest 2024 will be teased following the update. With the holiday already here (and Mariah Carey awakening from her hiatus), Epic Games is bound to reveal something.
This speculation takes into account that Winterfest is the last in-game seasonal event before the year ends. As such, going out on a high note is always a good idea. Besides, this is the only time of year that Sgt. Winter and Crackshot's Cabin are featured on the island — something that players look forward to the entire year.
New Boons
Lastly, as per the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.10 update) early patch notes, at least five new Boons could be added in-game. The information was shared by HYPEX via a leak on December 3, 2024. Given that Boons have become an incredible in-game utility item, "the more the merrier" fits the bill. It will give players more options to choose from in combat, and allow for more tactical gameplay.
There is more slated to arrive as per the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.10 update) early patch notes, but nothing confirmed as of now. The only thing that we can say for certain is that the First-Person Device for Fortnite Creative will be going live on December 11, 2024.
