In just about few months, Fortnite Battle Royale became the hottest game in the world.

The gist of Fortnite Battle Royale is simple: 100 players are dropped onto an island with a constantly-shrinking “safe zone.” There are weapons and special items scattered all over the island. The goal is to be the last person standing at the end.

Fortnite Battle Royale may seem straightforward, but it’s actually a very nuanced game with plenty of depth and knowledge, in addition to fast reflexes, is crucial to surviving and winning the 100 players battle royale.

Tips & Tricks to play Fortnite Battle Royale

1. Take advantage of the training area before the game starts.

All of the players are loaded into a lobby of sorts, where you will be able to pick up a few weapons and materials to practice shooting and building, respectively. If you’re feeling unsure about controls, use this time to get familiar.

2. Use your pickaxe on everything you can, especially at the start of each game.

Every character in Fortnite Battle Royale carries an indestructible pickaxe, and almost every object in the game can be destroyed with your pickaxe. Just hit it repeatedly to gather its materials- wood, metal, or brick, which you will use to build forts, ramps, walls, and defenses. Gathering materials early on is the key to a good defense in Fortnite Battle Royale. The best players break everything apart from the very start of the game, from trees to boxes and even walls and floors.

3. Learn to build. A building is a key to your defense, and defense often means survival.

This is crucial for newcomers. Practice making quick buildings and ramps around your character in just a few seconds, which can save your character if you’re getting shot at. Practice building to climb mountains and buildings quickly. Keep practicing. The building is your best mode of transport in Fortnite, but it’s also your very best defense aside from the potions and Med Kits you will find strewn around the island.

4. Your health is most important. Prioritize consumables that restore your health and shields.

Several items can restore your health, or make you harder to kill. Shields will give you a much better chance of surviving the battle royale:

– Bandages and Med Kits restore your health, but only Med Kits can fully restore your health.

– Shield Potions and Small Shield Potions restore your shields, but only two Shield Potions can fully restore your health.

– The Chug Jug takes 15 seconds to consume but gives you full health and shields.

– Drinking Slurp Juice will give you one health point per second and one shield point per second, for 25 seconds.

5. Know each weapons’ strengths and weaknesses.

Snipers are perfect for taking out enemies from a long distance, but terrible for close combat.

Shotguns are perfect for when enemies are close, but you need to be aggressive when using it.

Assault Rifles are great at long distances but can be used up close as well when necessary. Some have scopes.

Submachine Guns fire really quickly, but are bad at a long distance.

Pistols are good at medium range but may fire too slowly for close-combat situations.

Rocket Launchers and Grenade Launchers are great for destroying enemy forts and buildings in a shot or two- and usually your opponents along with them.

– The Crossbow has unlimited shots.

6. Learn each tool, and know when to use it.

Fortnite Battle Royale has several tools that can be used both offensively and defensively:

– The Grenade blows up a few seconds after you throw it at someone.

– Throwing a Boogie Bomb forces opponents caught in its wake to dance for a few seconds, making them vulnerable to your attack.

– Throwing the Port-A-Fort grenade will instantly create a fort for you. It can be used defensively, but also offensively.

– Anything caught in the wake of an Impulse Grenade will be blown away, or up into the air, depending on the angle of your throw. You can also use impulse grenades to launch yourself at enemy players to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time.

7. If you are still getting used to the game’s controls, practice shooting and building first when you know you are totally safe and alone before you do try doing these things in an actual firefight.

8. Engage in firefights early and often. Sometimes the best way to learn the controls is to dive right in – and usually, players are most vulnerable at the very start of the game, so that’s your best chance to be aggressive and actually win.

9. If you hear guys running away from you, that means they don’t have good weapons, or they’re weak. Go after them.

10. Pay attention to the rarity of each item. Usually, you will want to hold onto the better, rarer item, but there are exceptions.

Sometimes you need to think about what you need at that particular moment. If you are low on health for instance, and it’s between getting a cool-looking rare weapon, or a Med Kit or Shield Potion, it would be wise to consume or keep the health items first before considering the weapon.

Also, some less-rare items are actually preferable. The blue-tier pump shotgun, for instance, deals some of the highest damage in the game and is usually worth holding onto.

11. Know the areas.

There are 18 areas in Fortnite Battle Royale.

Their names are Anarchy Acres, Dusty Depot, Fatal Fields, Flush Factory, Greasy Grove, Haunted Hills, Junk Junction, Lonely Lodge, Loot Lake, Moisty Mire, Pleasant Park, Retail Row, Salty Springs, Shifty Shafts, Snobby Shores, Tilted Towers, Tomato Town, Wailing Woods.

Since the safe zone of the map continually shrinks throughout the game, get familiar with the areas that are towards the center of the map: Those areas, like Tilted Towers, have the best chance of being in the safe zone through most of the match.

12. Know the right time to engage, and when to retreat.

You see two players fighting each other up ahead. What do you do?

– If you have good weapons with enough ammo, and you have plenty of health and shields, you could take them both by surprise and win.

– If you don’t have good weapons, or you’re low on health and/or shields, consider gathering more materials first and healing up before getting into a fight.

Consider your own health and weapons before trying to start a fight. You might not be the one who ends it.

13. Use the new Replay system to study how you died, and learn how to do better the next time.

Using the new Replay system in Fortnite Battle Royale- accessed by going to the Settings tab in the main menu. I was quickly able to learn from my mistake. Someone had laid a trap on the ceiling in the building I was in, and I neglected my surroundings.The game will automatically save your games, so use that to your advantage. Study the tapes.

14. Watch the pros, and emulate what they do.

Go to YouTube, watch how streamers do their work. Watch what they do when they land, how they gather materials, and take out opponents early and watch them in various scenarios, like how they react to being shot at, or how they push an opponent. You can learn a lot of techniques by watching the very best players on YouTube.

15. Try something new!

try dropping into a new location on the next game. Try a weapon you’ve avoided thus far. Try exploring. Try to win the game without a single kill. Do whatever feels fun to you, because you might also learn something unique about the game, and how you play.
