Fortnite: Tips And Tricks

All battle royale-related games are very popular right now, but each has its own peculiarities that you need to be aware of to be able to perform well. Here we will introduce some effective tricks that will be able to help you out in this regard in Fortnite. You can find here some information on weapons, various items, some maps’ specifics, and other aspects that will be able to save you and bring you closer to the win.

Noise

The main factor of enemy detection in many games is the noise. So in order to minimize the chances of being spotted when you do not want that, do your best not to make any sound. If any opponent on a closer distance has in the possession more or less decent headphones, your chances of remaining unnoticed are close to none, so even legendary weapons might not help you stand against such an enemy. The best way to avoid such negative consequences is through keeping any running to a minimum and, if possible, staying crouched. You can not avoid visible detection that way but that can help as well in some cases. When you are looting with your pickaxe you are also making noises as well as when switching weapons, so keep a closer look around when doing any of that.

The next tip comes from the previous: headphones can save you if your opponents are the ones causing any sounds. Buying a quality pair of cans is not all that difficult, as while you are doing powerleveling you also earn coins and this is a way to put them to good use. Being alerted of any movements around will result in higher chances of trapping the opponent resulting in an easy kill, even if you have not yet managed to get good loot.

Attention

Being on high alert might stress you out but can also result in a much higher rank. You need to always expect an enemy to come out of the next corner and give you a hard time due to the overall high competitiveness of the game. If you think you have heard any sound, wait for a bit and approach the encounter carefully. Whenever you feel really safe be wary as that might bring your defeat very fast.

Aiming

As in any other shooter, your aiming plays a great role in the achievement of kills so to improve your chances of getting the hit to find a steady cover. This way you will both have a clear shot and if something goes wrong you will reduce the received damage. If at some point you have managed to get a cover with a clear view on the circle’s perimeter, others might have had the same idea so keep an eye out. If you just make it to the safe zone, you are in danger from all sides as you can expect people being on the way there as well and others that have already found a safe spot. Never rely solely on the fact that the map is big enough, so you do not need to worry. And even if you have managed to get a kill already, it is not the win yet and many may be drawn to the sounds of a fight. In this case, building walls to protect flanks can help, but at the same time draw even more attention to your location. Trying to hunt everyone does not often work out in your favor, so try to spend your time only on those that present a threat to you.

Safe zone

While keeping all the previous aspects do not forget about the circle. Every tactic and strategy needs to be chosen according to the current state of the circle shrinkage and the expected safe zone. Only the right choice of direction with the awareness of this aspect can bring you the sure win, especially if you know which fights you can avoid using the circle as an advantage.

Shield

If you get to find a shield potion, drink it right away. The 50% buff will last for the whole match and that will raise your chances of survival greatly, so do not keep those for the final fight. Of course, it will not save you from some types of damage, like falling for example, but still if you manage to get 2 stacks of the shield that would mean you double your HP which is significant in any encounter.

Due to the different sizes of potions, you can get either 25 or 50 points and those should be used right after they get into your inventory till you get the maximum shield. Slurp Juice is a bit different case as it also provides some minor healing. The usage of this potion depends on the situation: if you are in the area with many enemies then drink it right away as well, otherwise, keep them for later. If you got lucky to acquire several different shield potions, it is better to consume the small ones first. 

Survival

If you aim to win the match then do not purposefully seek battles. While it might be fun and rewarding, especially for the Battle Pass, to get as many kills as you can, you can still lose the final fight because you just wasted all of your time, gear, and resources in vain. Your main aim here must be survival, so each potential encounter needs to be carefully assessed: will this fight alert other players that might be nearby and draw them to your location; are the looted items worth the risk; is it possible to avoid the incoming fire and many other things. That does not mean that you should never go for any risky opponents as that might be the swiftest way of getting a high-quality weapon that will affect the final battle.

Loot collection

If you have earned your kill, do not hurry to get the loot. As it has already been mentioned gunfire can attract other players and usually, they can give a real challenge and are not afraid of another encounter. You are very vulnerable during the looting, so you can become an easy target and get into a trap. In some situations you can use such loot as an advantage yourself, luring other players into your own trap. One way to reduce the risks is building around your character and loot, this way you will also have some time to use potions and change the gear.

From the previous advice comes the next point: do not stick too long in one cover as it can be destroyed quite fast. Whenever you get into a long fight you always need to look for escape routes to other covers and leave your own just as you start to feel uncomfortable there. It is also an aspect that you can use in your favor: if there are too many things in the way of your clear shot, just destroy it all with a grenade or rocket launcher. You do not even need to know the exact location of the enemy, you can smoke anyone out just by destroying all covers.

Weapons

As for the weapons, on the whole, there are enough different types so you can always get something you are comfortable with. Try to loot built-up areas due to the fact that the majority of the guns can be gained there. Of course, in terms of damage-dealing long-range weapons are the most effective but you will still need something short-range, so you do not have to worry about any unexpected encounters and this way you will be able to get a kill in any situation.

Exploring Maps

Studying the specifics of the maps can be quite a difficult activity due to the constant changes, some parts can easily disappear or unexpectantly return. There are two ways of approaching this issue: either follow up on all new updates or just keep in mind some general aspects. The main problem is picking the spot to land as you need to consider both risks and rewards. If you are not fully confident in your skills yet then avoid built-up areas to minimize risks, otherwise those places can provide you with some very good gear. You also might want to pick locations closer to the center so you do not have to rush through the whole map constantly.
