    Why do people dance in front of downed players?
    Community Answer
    It is a way to taunt. Their purpose is to make the downed player annoyed. It seems cruel, but almost everyone does it. That’s why they added emotes to Fortnite.
  • Question
    How do I snipe from a 200m distance?

    Community Answer
    Point your sniper a little upward, because the scope is not accurate and the bullet/arrow can tend to fall down a little.

    What is the best way to get a win on squad in fortnite?
    Cherry :)
    Community Answer
    Work together, don't let your team carry you. Build cover if you need some. Share materials like shield potions and bandages to help each other, and always be there to revive each other. Be aware of other players coming as packs to ambush you, unlike in solo.

    How do I kill another player?

    Shoot at them until they are dead. Then, carefully take their loot.
  • Question
    Which is better? Blue Pump or Green Tactical?
    Community Answer
    It depends on personal preference, if you have horrible aim then use the green tactical. Start using the blue pump when you can land your shots, it does more damage in a single shot compared to the tactical.
  • Question
    I am not good with aim. Normally I use a sniper and a pump, as well as an AR. In your opinion, is this a good choice?

    Community Answer
    Yes. If you have a gun for all ranges, you're good. As for your aiming problem, if you have the battle pass, creative mode should have some aiming games for you to get better.

    What is the best tactic for an experienced player to get their first win?

    Community Answer
    Make sure your inventory consists of (at least) a shotgun and an assault rifle. Up close fights are best handled with shotguns, which deal the most damage up close, and assault rifles are good for long distance. Make sure you have lots of materials. Lots of materials can provide extra shields and cover.
  • Question
    How can I spot an enemy in Fortnite?
    Farahh4
    Community Answer
    You can spot an enemy in Fortnite, but not on the map. You have to be watchful in all directions, even inside the storm, because there could be a player running out of the storm. You always have to watch your back so an enemy does not spot you and kill you from behind. You can also build to search for enemies without being attacked from behind (unless your head is sticking out, and then someone could snipe you).
  • Question
    How many maps are there?
    Cherry :)
    Community Answer
    Only one, but there are different named areas on the single map, like Tilted Towers, Shifty Shafts, etc. Some have more and better loot than others. Choose wisely where to land.
  • Question
    How long into the game should I build my fort so it won't be destroyed in the storm?

    Community Answer
    Top 10, top 20. Remember, you can always move and rebuild in the zone. You should have at least 1000 stone and wood total. Metal is nice, too.
  • Question
    What is better, a SCAR or an assault rifle?
    Community Answer
    SCAR - it deals more damage and has less recoil, and the bullets spread less.

  • Question
    How come I cannot swing the pick axe?
    Joel Smith
    Community Answer
    Bad ping, your internet isn't good, your game is bugged or you have a lack of storage.
  • Question
    Which gun is better, the AK or the scar?
    Joel Smith
    Community Answer
    A blue AK is equivalent to a suppressed scar damage-wise, but if its blue AK vs normal gold scar, scar is better.
  • Question
    Is a legendary scar better than a blue burst?
    Farahh4
    Community Answer
    A legendary scar is better than a rare (blue) burst assault rifle because of its rarity. Some people do prefer different guns, like wanting a burst assault rifle more than a regular assault rifle, but you usually want to use a rare gun, which provides more strength and more accuracy.

  • Question
    How do I jump out of the battle bus?
    Community Answer
    Console is X; space bar for PC.
  • Question
    Why do other players jump when I try to shoot them?
    Community Answer
    They want to hit your bullets and not get hit so much, and jumping also confuses the shooter and makes it harder to aim. You try doing it, you might win the fight!
  • Question
    How do I get a solo win?
    Community Answer
    Hide in a bush the whole game with some guns, then pop out when needed to eliminate unsuspecting players.
  • Question
    What is the best sensitivity if I'm playing on console?
    Community Answer
    It depends. If you're more of a builder and tend to build in a 1v1 fight, a higher sensitivity would be good. On the other hand, an aggressive player should have a lower sensitivity.
  • Question
    How do I react to a sniper trying to snipe me?
    SeanTheBoss103
    Community Answer
    Build. If the sniper is on a mountain, try to build a tower leading to your opponent. Be warned, you may initiate a "build battle", where try to out-build each other. If the player looks like a veteran, it's best to just build some quick cover.
  • Question
    How do I dance/dab in Fortnite?
    Chess101
    Community Answer
    As you progress in the game and do challenges, you earn emotes, some of them where you dance or dab. You can get these through the battle pass or free pass in the battle pass tab; it is right next to the home tab. You can also buy emotes in the item shop for the in-game currency, v-bucks.

    Crouch, and, if necessary, wait for first shot accuracy to come in. Remember, some weapons (like thermal and scoped AR) have 100 percent accuracy.

    Your teammates will have their names showing, or will have arrows on top of them.
  • Question
    How do I get better at combat, because I seem to never get anyone?
    Community Answer
    To get better at combat, you need to find guns that fit your style. For example, I prefer pumps or tacticals but some people feel differently. My tip is to try all guns you can, and see which is easiest for you.
  • Question
    How do I get out of the battle bus?
    Community Answer
    It depends. If you are on PlayStation or Xbox, press the A button but, if you are on a PC, press the space bar.
  • Question
    How do I see someone before they see me?
    Community Answer
    Whoever has better awareness will spot the other person first. At a long range, a sniper scope will help you spot enemies, but if they aren’t moving much, you could probably just shoot. Look for ongoing building as it is a good trail to follow to hunt another player. Make sure to check the 180 degrees behind you often in case there is someone waiting to line up a shot. Maximizing your 3D resolution will also help you spot enemies in the distance, but will require a decent machine to run.
