Play Fortnite Battle Royale Like A Pro With These Five Tips

Battle Royale can be challenging for even seasoned Fortnite players. Using these advanced tips will give you the edge against your competition.

1. Be Aggressive.

In a game where survival is the ultimate aim it may seem counterintuitive to tell you to be aggressive. However the key to survival is knowing how to beat your enemies in a fight. The more fights you get into the more practice you get and the more lethal you become. So when you hear shots fired go towards them. When you see the enemy moving engage him.

2. Know Your Arsenal and Prepare For All Scenarios.

In Battle Royale mode weapon tiers are clearly divided using 5 colors. From weakest to strongest the colors are: gray, green, blue, purple, and orange/gold. Throughout each match focus on acquiring higher - tiered weapons. Every enemy you kill and each chest you loot is an opportunity to swap a weaker weapon for a stronger one. The ultimate goal is to have a variety of weapons on hand from short range to long range weapons as well as some explosives. This will ensure you are prepared for any kind of fight you find yourself in.

3. Consistent Weapon Slotting.

You should always keep the order of your inventory consistent so you can pull out the item you want without hesitation. Personally I like to arrange my inventory from left to right with short range weapons to the left, longer range weapons to the right, and healing items last.

4. Aim Low.

After jumping from the battle bus your glider will deploy based upon your distance from the ground. Your goal should be to aim your player over low, flat areas on the map such as rivers and paths. If you aim for low points your glider will open sooner and you will land sooner. Landing sooner means you can find loot before your opponents and this can give you the edge in battle.

5. Build Build Build!

A strategy that involves constant building is the key to winning the majority of your fights. Collect plenty of materials while roaming around so you're ready to build at all times. A lot of players love building forts but I think this feeds into a defensive mindset. Walls and ramps should be your focus. Walls provide great defensive cover. Ramps are really useful in close and mid - range combat because they block your enemy's shots and offer you a height advantage in attack.
