How to Get Weapons in FortniteBallistic

Getting weapons in Ballistic works differently from the regular Battle Royale mode. Here’s what you need to know:

At the start of each match, you’ll spawn with a Ranger Pistol and 800 Credits. During the buy phase at the beginning of each round, you can purchase additional weapons using your Credits. You earn more Credits by:

  • Eliminating opponents
  • Planting the Rift Point Device
  • Surviving rounds
  • Completing objectives

If you survive a round, you’ll keep your weapons for the next round. However, if you get eliminated, you’ll lose your loadout and need to purchase new weapons in the next round. You can also pick up weapons dropped by eliminated players or share weapons with teammates by dropping them manually.

The most expensive weapon is the Reaper Sniper Rifle at 5,000 Credits, while the most affordable non-free option is the Hand Cannon at 800 Credits. Budget your Credits wisely – sometimes it’s better to save up for a better weapon in future rounds than to spend everything immediately.

Remember, you can check what weapons your teammates have through the scoreboard, which helps coordinate your team’s loadout strategy. Consider mixing up your team’s weapon choices to cover different ranges and situations effectively.
