A Simple Guide for New Fortnite Players

If you have recently discovered the game called Fortnight, this guide is for you. Like all genres, the battle royal has many nuances that can first feel intimidating. Therefore, we suggest you gain some knowledge before engaging in a game with more skillful players. This guide contains useful tips and tricks in order to land on the island alongside 99 opponents with confidence. All the information is thoroughly selected by Fortnight veterans and is presented in a format that any newcomer can understand. We hope you find these tips helpful.

First Steps to Success

At the start of the game, you and the other 99 players will wait for the right moment to drop from Battle Bus. Let’s take a look at the basic tips that will help you not to die in the first five minutes of the game and get the essentials.

Don’t be the first to leave the Battle Bus. The longer you wait to jump, the better chance you have of being in a less competitive environment and getting shot in the head. After that, when you’re gliding, try to land on the building because the loot most often spawns inside.

When you’re out — you are out, and it’s nothing you can do about it. So pay attention to the area around you because when the glider deploys automatically opens when you reach a certain height level below ground.

Nearby you will find blue bottles which give you a shield. They come in two sizes and give 25 shield and 50 shield after drinking them. But there is one caveat: once you have 50 or more shields, you will no longer be able to drink from small bottles, so be sure to use them first. That way, you’ll have more free slots for things.

Assault rifles or SMGs guns are ideal for beginners because they have medium to close-range shooting. At this point in the game, sniper rifles will be useless. The shotgun is perfect for exploring rooms because it brings massive damage at close range, so keep it ready.

Tips for Skillful Gameplay

These are the basic steps to start the possible victory game you want. What else do you need to pay attention to? Below you will see a numbered list for further exploits.

1. In Fortnite, your headphones are your best friends because to hear means to survive. This way, you will know from which side the enemy is coming, and you will be ready to attack or be attacked. Crouching is also a helpful sound feature for moving much more quietly, so the enemy can’t easily spot you. 

2. The building feature is a very important part of Fortnight. This way, you can protect yourself during the healing process. Always build walls around you while it takes significant seconds to heal. You will not be able to move at this moment and will be vulnerable to the enemy without protection. 

3. Pay attention to fall damage because jumping above three floors will cause significant health loss. 

4. You need to climb as high as possible. High points are a good place for sniping and are difficult for the enemy to reach. Build a platform under you and enclose it with walls.

5. The rarer the weapon, the more damage it does. The gold ones are the most powerful. Also, make sure you have grenades, bandages, or protective potions for unexpected events during the game. 

6. Destroy trees with a pickaxe to get wood planks. But don’t leave an obvious trail behind you, so the enemy can’t track you. 

7. With the pickax, you can break almost anything around you, but be careful because it makes sounds other players can hear. You can mine out of the structure that you have built around yourself or from the place where you get stuck.

8. Before starting the game, don’t forget to choose your skin, stickers, and emotions in the locker. Once the round has started, you will not be able to swap these items.

9. One of the key aspects to get better at Fortnite is knowing the map. You can use Battle Lab mode to explore it, so you can learn chest placements and find the best locations for your strategy. 

10. To have a greater advantage in battle, collect materials while running around the map. Thus, you will have a supply of materials for every occasion.
