Fortnite tips for beginners

Fortnite has been out for a long time but it has never cooled down because it is always renewed continuously. Not only are the weapons the only thing that's different, but a lot of the new mechanics as well as the things that were in the previous game have been changed.

Whether you are a brand new player or coming back after a while, this article will provide helpful tips to know when playing Fortnite to win every match.

Weapon ratio

There are 7 types of weapons in Fortnite, each with different rarity and color for easy identification. The rarer the weapon, the higher its power.

Weapon Selection

The weapons and items players carry are the things that will make the difference between success and failure in a match. Deciding what equipment to use or not to use is very important.

It is best for gamers to carry weapons for both long-distance and close-quarter combat. Sniper rifles and assault rifles are perfect if the target is far away, while shotguns and SMGs are suitable for close combat.

Weapons are not the only thing players should carry. Be sure to bring some healing items and protective shields. Normally, players will carry 3 weapons and 2 healing items.

Landing point and hot drop point

Players will usually land at the POI (point of interest) closest to the white line so they don't have to wait too long inside the bus. The central areas of the map are usually quite crowded. If you want to find somewhere safe, go to a more remote location like a small landmark.

Certain locations on the map are considered hot drops, which in Fortnite terms means where many players will land. These places are often filled with belligerence, always ready to jump into the fierce battle right from the start.

Construction practice

While it is possible to play and enjoy Fortnite and ignore the building aspect of the game, it is really hard to win without building. So the best way to become a master builder is practice, practice and practice.

First, gamers will have to memorize the construction of keybinds. Then find some good creative maps dedicated to building or editing practice. Players can also simply find a remote place on the map and practice or go to the island to create and build without fear of other players nearby.

Don't try to build fast all at once, the best way to get better is to have the patience to understand what works best for your playstyle.
