Fortnite: Advance Beginners Guide

The first thing you want to do before playing is to make sure that your settings are right. No matter what you play on, if you’re looking to get better at the game, turn on visual sound effects. It lets you see where enemies are. And pros use this all the time, and they always, sometimes even look at it the entire duration while they’re build fighting someone.

The other thing you want to do for your setup is turn on preferred item slots. You don’t want to be in the middle of a fight and pull out your mini instead of your shotgun because you have your stuff in the wrong slot.

One of the biggest advantages you can have in an all-spawn fight in Fortnite is to be able to land first. Even if you have never landed at a location before and you have no idea where the best drop is, here are a couple of key things that you can keep in mind for every drop.

Try to minimize the amount you look completely behind you because that will slow down your movement. Look at other enemies’ drops to see if they’re lower than yours, because then you’re going to get smoked and die.

When I’m in a fight, I always want to make sure I’m shooting my opponent on the right side of my character and setting up those peaks. Fortnite is a third-person game, and the camera angle is set up to be on the right shoulder.

You could see through your cone when you hold your edit button. Every pro does this when they’re boxed up. This is super helpful when you’re playing tournaments and you’re looking to see who’s around you before you make the rotate.

You need to put space between yourself and the opponent. So, that means building a tunnel. Place it first, and not just spamming it all at one time. If you’re ever learning something on Fortnite, start slow.

In box fights, always make sure there’s a cone in your box. The first thing players do when they fight someone without a cone in their box is shove one in there themselves as they fight you. At first, it’s a little weird, but trust me, get used to it. It will help you more than you think.

Building is hard at first. You need to be able to switch material types easily. Brick and metal have more HP than wood. So, when you’re getting pressure and need to heal, make sure you’re using your hard mat, so that gives you more time to heal up.

When I’m hitting a wall with my pickaxe, I know that it’s 75 damage. The second time, it does 150 when you hit the circle. Wood walls are only 150 HP, so two smacks of a pickaxe will get you right in the box.

When you’re playing a game on Fortnite, you should know what loadout you want. This will save you time when you’re looting an early game or even after you get a kill and all the loot drops in front of your face.

Everyone jokes about playing to win skins, but it matters. Bigger skins occupy more of your screen space. So, the smaller it is, the better it is because you’re going to have more visibility.

You will ultimately get better faster as opposed to mindlessly playing the game, which builds bad habits and wastes time if you play the right map. What happens when you mindlessly practice is that you repeat the same movements or patterns without intention.

Most players in Fortnite get carried away and get lost in the storm. It’s best to keep a keen eye on the map and the safe zone. This is indicated by a circle on the map and tells you the area on the Fortnite map where there is less danger.

Fortnite is a game where you need to constantly communicate with your allies. This allows you to know what strategy you should apply or if any enemy nearby you. Not communicating with your teammates can lead you to big trouble, or you may end up dying in a random place.
