Fortnite Ballistic combines the intense tactical gameplay of games like CS:GO and Valorant with Fortnite’s unique flair. Whether you’re working with your team to achieve objectives or making critical plays during tense moments, this mode requires cooperation and smart strategies.
For the attackers, the main objective is to plant the Rift Point Device, but accomplishing this task is quite challenging. Are you ready to make the crucial move? This guide offers everything you need to know about selecting the right planting site, effective team coordination, and securing that victory. Let’s get started.
How to Plant the Device
First, you need to pick up the bomb, also known as the Rift Point Device. This item only appears at the Attackers’ starting point. Since only one device is available each round, it’s crucial to communicate with your team about who will grab it.
Once you have the device, your next step is to choose where to plant it. There are two designated sites: A and B. You can easily find these on your mini-map. Look for the cracked ground adorned with distinct purple lines. Your decision on which site to approach should depend on your team’s position and the tactics of the defending team.
When you arrive at your chosen site, get close to the cracked ground. Then, press the interact button to begin planting—’E’ for PC and ‘X’ for consoles.
Keep in mind that planting the device takes some time, making you vulnerable to attacks. It’s vital to count on your teammates for protection while you complete this action.
After you plant the device, a countdown begins, shifting your focus to defending the site and stopping the other team from defusing the bomb.
