    Avoid going out into an open area. If you're getting shot at, try to crouch behind cover so you're harder to hit.

    Try to find a location to land that's secluded from other people. If you see someone else going to a landing spot, go somewhere else that's away from them.
  • Question
    How can you counter a player who is overbuilding?
    Community Answer
    If they are building up, you can fall to the bottom and then break the structure while the player is distracted trying to find you. If they are not, then just get within shotgun/SMG range.
  • Question
    If I have heals and weapons that are nice, why do I always end up messing up in Fortnite and only getting second place?
    Community Answer
    It could be your opponent being more skillful, perhaps knowing tips that you don't, or it could merely be luck. It may be that the pressure is on when it gets that close to the end, and you get nervous and make mistakes. Whatever the case, just keep developing your skills and researching new strategies and techniques, as well as practicing remaining calm when the stakes are highest. With patience and dedication, you'll eventually get first.
  • Question
    How do I win a solo game of Fortnite if my opponent has aimbot?
    Community Answer
    Not going to lie, there's not much you can do except build cover and quick peek with a sniper. Hope you can hit a headshot (shouldn't be too hard, as they rarely ever build for cover) and insta win. This is the only effective strategy to beat a hacker, and requires a lot of finesse. Make sure to spectate the player after you die to be sure he is hacking before reporting him.

    Go to a mildly-populated place like Lazy Links and get some eliminations. If you are not that good, get good loot and camp a lot.
  • Question
    Any tips on how to build well in Fortnite?

    Practice, lots and lots of practice. Try going on the Playground mode, and test building without the fear of combat. Also, consider changing your settings to "Builder Pro," which will allow you to build quicker.
  • Question
    How can I edit faster?
    Community Answer
    I personally use down on the d-pad to edit, as it allows me to go straight to editing without waiting 0.15 seconds. I believe the best thing to do is use a button for editing that is not used for anything else on your controller/keyboard. Other than that, the best way to edit fast is to practice in playground.
  • Question
    What should I do when I am sandwiched in between two players that are very skilled?
    Community Answer
    Build yourself some cover, and try to isolate one player if possible. Most players will chase you if you begin to build, and they may lose each other as well.
  • Question
    How do I remain calm during intense situation?

  • Question
    How can I not choke in the endgame?
    Community Answer
    Read the player and make smart moves, possibly using a trap for safety. Don't peek for too long, and build a base so you don't get sniped from behind.
  • Question
    How do I build battle in Fortnite?

    Where is the best place to land when playing Fortnite?

    The unnamed places, like the indoor football pitch next to tilted and the sleigh/chair, are my luckiest and safest landing spots.
  • Question
    How do I get better at aiming?
    Community Answer
    Build a fort or a target so you can aim things at the target or fort. To increase my aim, I turn my sensitivity down. Use grenades as a start, then move on to more complex and automatic weapons like a scar or a deagle.

    Try turning your sensitivity down a little bit. It helps with aiming. One downside to this, though, is that you can't build or turn as quickly.
  • Question
    Should I use a tactical shotgun or a pump shotgun?
    Community Answer
    It depends on whether you want to shoot faster with less damage, or more damage and a longer wait between shots. Use a tactical if you don’t have good aim, and a pump if you do.
