How To Get Better At Fortnite

If there’s anything more satisfying in Fortnite, it’s getting a Victory Royale after an intense BR match. Nothing beats being the winner in the lobby, whether in solos or with your squad. Since you’ are competing with other players who may be on your skill level, it’s important that you improve and grow as you play the game. In time, you can even grow your Fortnite account by building up the battle pass fast by completing weekly challenges easily. 

 

In this guide, we’ will provide you with the ways that you can get better at the game and gain a Victory Royale more consistently, or at least get high kill counts. Whether in No Build mode or with building, these tips will help you improve your own skills. 

Always Practice Your Aim

It cann’ot be stated stressed enough how critically important it is to practice shooting each weapon and improving your aim. Since the game constantly updates with new guns, understanding the fundamentals of shooter games will help you adapt quickly. 

 

For starters, there are two types of aiming that you need to learn: Flicking and tracking. When you are using semi-automatic weapons like shotguns, DMRs or sniper rifles, you will end up flicking your wrist in order toto land your shots. Meanwhile, automatic weapons like ARs and SMGs will require you to track your characters constantly by maintaining your crosshair on the target. 

 

There are many aim trainers, even ones in Fortnite’s creative mode, that let you use every existing weapon in the game and provide combat scenarios to train your fundamentals. If you can train your accuracy, you will go a long way, not just in Fortnite but in all types of shooter games. 

Learn to Move Defensively and Offensively

In any shooter game, it’s never a good idea to stand still and be a sitting duckn easy target. Moving around erratically makes it more difficult for enemies to shoot target you, which is why many shooter games have movement techniques or abilities.

 

 One of the key aspects of Fortnite is the many movement tools that the game offers. Using gadgets like the Grapple Gun, Shockwave Grenade, and even basic mechanics like sliding and jumping are among the primary skills that you need to learn. This principle applies in both No Build and Build Fortnite, as controlling your positioning is key to winning fights in the game. 

 

Since the game will always have mobility items in every new season, you should take the time to familiarize yourself with these items, often found in the Fortnite item shop, so that you can learn how to escape fights you can’t win or close the distance on an enemy that hasn’t noticed you. 

Landing in the Perfect Spot

Like any BR, you can choose where to land for the promise of good loot at the start of the game. And as proven in countless BR matches, players tend to pick the most popular spot on the map, like Lavish Lair or the Nitrodome. The best places to land are oftentimes the least popular areas or the outskirts of a hot zone, as these spots will start you off with decent loot and supplies to be ready for any fight.

 

It’s also important to note how many players are landing in the same spot as you are since they will be competing with you on loot and kills. Try to get an estimate of the number of players landing so that you can assess the nearby threats once you land o in your preferred spot. 

 

If an enemy player has the advantage in terms of landing distance, it’ is better to immediately move away and find another spot to land. This is because the enemy may get the first pick on while leaving you absolutely defenseless. It’s better to play it safe by picking a spot with Common loot than risking your life for the chance of finding an Epic or Legendary weapon.

Turn Building Controls into Muscle Memory

While this tip applies only to players who prefer the regular Build mode, it’s still just as important to learn. Since Fortnite’s unique gameplay revolves around reacting to enemy fire by building your own cover, many pro players learn to make cover rapidly in order to defend themselves. One of the key aspects of learning playing Fortnitre is learning how to build quickly, as this allows you to completely control the battlefield in your favor.

 

Start by learning the basic controls of building and the order of structures available in your build bar. Try to get a feel of how it works. Then, try to practice building a basic fort like a wall with a ramp and keep practicing until you can build one in seconds and without having to look at the queue. 

Look At Weapon Reviews

Fortnite has a whole list of guns that vary from very weak to borderline overpowered. Each season adds in new weapons, from common to Exotic weapons that always vary in power. When it comes to making loadouts on the fly, it’s important to know which weapons you should be picking up and which ones you should throw away. Knowing the current weapon meta is half the battle royale experience.

Listen for Audio Cues

When fighting indoors and you’re you find yourself unable to find out where the enemy is, the game has clear audio cues that can help you discern their location of an enemy. Listen for loud footsteps nearby and try to look in the general direction of where the footsteps play on booth speakers. This way, you can get the drop on enemy players who haven’t noticed you yet or at least get on equal terms with a skilled player.

 

If you’ are playing without audio, the game has an accessibility option where you can toggle the Visualize Sound Effects option to help you get a better view of locating enemy players. Visualize Sound Effects even highlights the general direction of nearby chests, helping you gear up faster.

Communicating with Comrades

In duos, trios or quads, working with your teammates is a vital component to any battle royale game, especially in Fortnite. Since you’ll be fighting other teams who are just as communicative with each otherordinated, you’ll have to talk to your own team and coordinate work out strats with them like pushes, flanks, or gadget usage to better beat an enemy team. If you’re feeling shy, using the game’s ping system will still help in communicating with your team, telling them where to land, the location of enemies, or highlighting items for them.

Watch Your Replays and Analyze

The game will record the last few matches you’ve been on, and this feature is a handy tool for critically analyzing your own gameplay. It helps to see the mistakes you’ve made during the match, and this will show you how you canto further improve your skills in Fortnite. Remember, the most important thing in the learning process is understanding your own weaknesses and working on them.
