Fortnite Top 10 Tips

1.  Fall only in known locations

The game map is quite wide, and there are resources for everyone, and very few users usually go to certain areas of the map. So try to avoid crowded places like Ciudad Comercio or Pisica Picados, to go to other quieter places such as Señorío de la Sal or Alameda Aullante, because there are a lot of chests that you can also collect and then go to more interior areas and finish the game. And the rookies only usually go to the busiest places being easy prey for veterans.

2.  Not knowing how to read the scenario

The rookie player always usually makes the mistake of moving through the stages without paying close attention to the environment. When you have been in the game for many hours, you will understand why a certain structure has been built, whether someone has passed through it or not, or if there may be an ambush nearby. That is why you must read the terrain to know if you are in a dangerous or virgin area that no one has passed through during the game. This, for example, will help you not to enter an area where there will be virtually no resources because some other person has already been previously.

3.  Do not use grenades or explosives

The less experienced player may find it much more valuable to have a machine gun, a rifle or a sniper rifle, relegating explosives and grenades to the background. Well, it's another mistake, since professional players often use explosives to make the opponent panic. You can use a rocket launcher, a grenade or an explosive to remove any user from its structure and comfort zone, making it make mistakes to eliminate it with any other type of weapon.

4.  You're standing a little too proud (or standing at all)

Unlike PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, you can't crawl through the brush in Fortnite: Battle Royale – but you can crouch. While it makes you a smaller target and helps you blend in with the brush, it also makes your weapons more accurate, particularly when you're firing an assault rifle.

So let's talk about accuracy. Fortnite has a system known as "bullet spread" or "bloom." In short, where you aim is only one factor in deciding whether or not your shot hits. There's also a random element. Your bullets will always hit somewhere inside the crosshairs, but they won't necessarily fire straight down the middle. Thanks to bullet spread, they might hit the edges of the circle, the center, or anywhere in between.

Fortnite's bloom effect is notoriously aggressive and often leads to missed shots. There are only a few things you can do to mitigate it. Crouching shrinks the size of the crosshairs, reducing the bloom, as does staying still and pausing between shots. Even if you do those three things, you'll still miss fairly often. Thankfully, Epic is working on improvements, including changes to first-shot accuracy. For now you'll need to crouch, stand still, and hope the gods of RNG hear your prayers.

5.  You're mixing up your buttons

Gathering the right gear and weapons is only half the battle in Fortnite: Battle Royale. You'll also need to have the right weapon equipped at the right time. In Fortnite, firefights can be quick and brutal, and you don't want to be caught fumbling for the correct gun while your enemies pump you full of lead. In order to keep everything straight, many players recommend putting the same class of weapon in the same inventory slot every single time that you play, which will help you keep your buttons straight when the bullets starts flying.

A common pattern is to rank the weapons by range: shotguns go first, then assault rifles, then the sniper rifles. The exact order isn't as important as consistency. If you don't have to stop and think about which button does what, you'll save a few precious moments during battle. In Fortnite, that can mean the difference between a winning run and a quick trip to the elimination screen.

6.  You're not using all of your senses

Most video games rely on visuals to communicate to players. But if you don't also listen carefully during each match, you'll miss out on lots of valuable information.

It's vital that you listen for footsteps, gunshots, and the noises the pickaxe makes during resource gathering. The noises that characters make in Fortnite are "louder" than in many other multiplayer shooters, so you should have plenty of time to prep for battle (or run away) when you hear other players nearby. In Fortnite, sound is directional, too, so invest in a good pair of headphones. If you need some recommendations, Reddit has you covered — and don't worry. Your cans don't need to be fancy. And if you turn off the in-game music, too, the important sound effects will be much easier to hear — so you won't miss anything.

There's more to Fortnite’s sounds than the other characters' noises, too. Treasure chests and safes, which contain the best loot, make a specific sound when you're nearby. Some players compare the noise to a heavenly choir, so if you hear something like that, start looking — and keep in mind that the chest might be hidden behind walls or other objects. 

Finally, be mindful of the noise around your actual body, too. Sometimes, your headset's microphone will pick up ambient noise — especially if you're blasting music while you play — which will make its way in-game. Don't let that happen to you, but feel free to punish anyone else who makes that mistake.

                                                                                                                                       

7.  You're a good hunter but a lousy gatherer

Stock up on crafting materials as possible early. It's hard to gather supplies when the map is smaller and you've got an enemy on your six — and the last thing you want is to run out of materials when your tower's only half-finished or you're in the middle of a firefight.

Make sure you exploit the weak point system every time that you swing your pickaxe. Fortnite: Battle Royale doesn't have a tutorial, so many players don't know how this works, and mastering it will give you an easy and immediate advantage. When using the pickaxe, a blue circle appears on your target. Hitting it will do more damage to the structure. Hitting every target will halve the time that it takes to cut down a tree, break a rock, or demolish a wall. That's a huge advantage when you're trying to harvest materials quickly, and should help you beat opponents to hidden chests, too.

Some fans also recommend leaving trees with some health remaining, since stumps can leave a trail for other players to follow. That's easy enough to do — just stop swinging your axe before the tree is fully looted and it'll stay standing — but it's also a controversial strategy. Some people prefer to stay hidden. Others like to gather as much wood as they can. Try both, and see what works best for you.

8.  Slide without losing health

Getting to high places in Fortnite is really easy. But getting down safely can be tricky. If you don't want to lose any health when sliding down a mountain, you'll need to learn to counter-strafe. That means moving in the opposite direction you're sliding. So if you're sliding down facing left, move to the right and you'll stay glued to the mountain.

9.  See through walls

When you're building in Fortnite, walls become transparent. You can exploit this to get a leg up over your enemies. For instance, throw down a wall and head into edit mode, and you'll be able to see straight through it. Alternatively, if your enemy is hiding behind a wall they've built, dive into edit mode and catch them off-guard.

10.             Ride the supply drop balloon

Supply drops are an easy opportunity to bag free kills. When players spot them falling, they get loot hungry and rush towards the landing spot. All you need to do is head somewhere high up and build over the balloon – then hop right onto it. Then descend onto your unwitting foe, and slaughter them without a peep.

Hope these tips help you.
