How to Play Fortnite

Understand the essence of Fortnite. Essentially, Fortnite is a takedown-style shooter game that requires players to strive to be the last person standing, a duo or a team to survive to the end. To this end, good Fortnite players are usually cautious and alert in all situations.

• Trying to survive in Fortnite is much more important than killing other players.

Familiarize yourself with the basics of Fortnite. There are a few key things in Fortnite that make the gameplay unique:

• Start — All Fortnite players will start in the same spot (the flying bus), then they have to jump off to land on the island below.
• Pickaxe — Every Fortnite player starts with a pickaxe in the inventory. This pickaxe can be used to do anything from attack to resource extraction.
• Resources — Resources like wood can be mined using pickaxes on things like houses and trees. These resources can then be used to build structures like pillars or barriers.
• Storm — Storm is something that slowly renders the edges of the map unplayable over the course of the game. This will happen as the storm expands inward at certain times in the game (like after 3 minutes). If you encounter a storm, you will slowly die.

Avoid storm. After the Fortnite game has passed the 3 minute mark, a storm will appear at the edge of the map. This storm will grow, shrinking the playable area and forcing the remaining players to come together. If you hit a storm, the storm will quickly cause your health to drop, and eventually die if you stay in the storm for too long.

• Usually the storm will kill many players in the mid-late game, so make sure you keep an eye on the location of the storm during the game.

Try playing conservatively first. To win in Fortnite, you just have to try to stay alive until every other player dies. Knowing that it’s easier said than done, the best way to survive is to avoid unnecessary clashes and dangers.

• Aggressive gameplay isn’t impossible in Fortnite, but it’s usually suited to more agile and experienced players.

Jump into the Tilted Tower. Many Fortnite players will jump off the bus near the beginning of the game, or when they see a large settlement below. Instead of following the crowd, you can try to jump off the bus at the last second and aim for a small village or house instead of a larger structure.

• If you do this, you’ll be at the edge of the map, so you’ll need to move more than the other players to avoid storms later in the game.

Get the weapon as soon as possible. While the pickaxe can be used as a weapon in case of necessity, when nothing else is available, weapons like assault rifles, sniper rifles, and shotguns are common in Fortnite encounters. .

• Remember that any weapon is better than bare hands, so picking up a pistol or SMG when you can’t find the weapon you want is the real thing to do—you can always switch weapons at any time. after.

Use resources to build shelters if needed. When using the pickaxe on things like wood or stone, you gain resources that can be used to create pillars, barriers, walls, and more. Player-created shelters are usually fairly conspicuous, but are also good for creating some layer of cover between you and your enemies in case they already know your location.

• Another way to use resources for shelter is to hide in existing shelters (such as houses) or hide in hiding places like bushes.

Always have your back to the water. When you face the center of the map and your back to the ocean, you can reduce the risk of being sneaked by bad guys, especially when a storm starts to form.

• The water/storm is a place where you are invulnerable, meaning this is the only “corner” you can rely on.
• Be careful, don’t get caught between a clash and a storm, as you’ll be forced into a fight that can be a bit overwhelming.

Communicate with your team if necessary. If you’re playing a Duo or Squad match, it’s extremely important to talk to your teammates about known enemy locations, found resources, and the like.

• Basically, you can skip this step if you’re playing Spo style.
• You can also notify one (or more) teammates when you’re down, so they can easily find you and help you respawn.

Assess the enemy before starting combat. Usually you can guess what kind of weapon the enemy is using from a certain distance. This is important if you’re struggling to find a weapon that’s powerful enough, as confronting a player holding an assault rifle when you only have a pistol in hand is almost guaranteed to die.

• Consider hiding instead of fighting if the enemy has stronger weapons and/or is in a better position.
• It’s also important to keep an eye on the potential target’s behavior. If the enemy is running around looking for items, you have a better chance of catching them in an unattended state than if they were hiding in a bunker.

Look for enemies in popular hiding places. There can be enemies in bushes, houses and other easy hiding places, especially later in the game, when there are more players in the same place.

• Fortnite players are often quite creative in finding hiding places. If you hear a player in the house but can’t find them, it’s best to run away instead of spending more time looking for them.
