Fortnite

Tips

• Start here

  Land on the edge, farm before you rotate

  A quiet edge POI with 500 wood/brick/metal each will beat a hot drop you leave with a white AR and no mats. Reboot vans are the team revive; ping them before you thirst a knock in zone.

• Start here

  Build a ramp, then a wall, then a floor

  The panic ramp is not a 1x1. Wall in front, ramp under your feet, floor above. Turbo-build in settings should be on; edit mode reset should be a bind you can hit without thinking.

• Advanced

  Piece control is the fight

  Take their wall, cone the head, then edit. Creative edit maps are practice, not a different game. Don't third-party a fight you don't have mats to finish.

• Advanced

  Storm surge is a loot check

  If the game tells you to deal damage, you are behind on eliminations and need a fight or a downed player, not a bush. Fishing ice boxes still dump slurps when the named POIs are empty.

• Secrets

  Recon and the map markers

  Recon/marked chests and scout items paint the next rotating teams. A launch pad or a shockwave you save for zone is worth more than the extra SMG in the last open slot.

• Multiplayer

  Comms on footsteps, not on loot

  Call mats, heals, and a number of players. Don't split a trio across two named POIs. If a teammate is knocked, smokes and a ramp are the revive, not a 1v3 ego peek.
