So gear up, Fortniters, because the Ballistic won’t get warm for long. The developers have just recently dropped the news in a “spicy” Twitter announcement about something exciting: some new goodies coming on 8th April, and, well, the hype is definitely real.
Firstly, the Sovereign Sniper Rifle. Stat details? Nope! But just from the name, we know it will be *chef’s kiss* for the long-range crowd. Imagine this: perfect headshots while enemies dart around below some glass-magnifying thing. That’s just the kind of power we’re talking about.
And hold up! There’s so much more. Overdrive has been hope-slayed instead. It’s more like a turbo encased inside this loadout. Move faster? Check. Reload lightning fast? For sure. Swap weapons so quick enemies don’t even see it coming? Hell yeah. That sort of upgrade could turn a mid-skill player into the Crack Speedy Gonzales.
Now, here’s the kicker… The tweets themselves are *crickets*. Zilch. Nada. Not a peep of “hyped” comment or anything off those typical gamers screaming off in confusion, thinking it’s an April fool joke, again (since April 8th is awfully close, devs). Either the Ballistic fanbase is grinding it out for literally anything else, or is everyone just too stunned to even type?
So what’s really happening? Will the Sovereign-a game changer, or just some nifty paint job? Will Overdrive become the king-killer, or does it have high risk, high reward written all over it? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: April 8th just became a day you cannot miss playing.
Also, if you weren’t already maining a sniper in Ballistic… You might just want to start practicing soon. Just saying.
Anyway, save that date; set some alarms and maybe get a little finger stretching in. Fast and deadly. Mostly deadly.
Wait, where was I? Right; *April 8th*. Be there or be square. Or, y’know, just get wrecked by those whose feet made it there.
