- Intro
Fortnite Battle Royale takes the concept behind battle royale and releases it on an island with other 99 players until only one team or player is left alive. The game has virtually changed the PvP gaming mode eternally. Since when it was initially launched on July 2017’ everybody felt immediately for it, and we mean just everybody… Celebrities, athletes, kids, grownups, single people, married, and even as separated adults due to prioritizing the game much more than normally. We aren’t kidding at all! Fortnite Battle Royale remains the main subject of leisure and entertainment to millions of players worldwide. Its popularity is somehow related to its exciting and comprehensive gameplay as well as the fact that it’s free. Fortnite has managed to distinguish itself in the PvP fight genre through its unique cartoon-style graphics and engaging construction. The goal still remains very familiar to anyone and it needs no actual instruction on what you should do, as you just need to be the last character (or participating team) alive in every round. It sounds a lot easier than it actually is because you’ll get to meet other 99 players, where all have the same goal as you.
- Where you can play it
Epic Games has made it possible for the game to be played on all the platforms that you think of: PC, Mac, PS4, iOS and also Android.

- Starting out in Battle Royale
After successfully installing the game by using the links from the developer’s official page you’ll get started nicely and easy. You’ll instantly notice that Fortnite is extremely massive and very popular as soon as you enter an arena. The third-person shooter gamemode has never been more compelling than here. You’ll be dropped by a flying device onto an island with the only purpose of attempting your survival longer than anyone else in there. You’ll have to farm resources used to prepare building structures from where you can get covered as well as attack your enemies. If you get eliminated quickly it would a wise thing, if at least once, to watch the rest of the match. On these cases the game gives you the ability to continue watching from the perspective of the player that killed you but you can even change the view across the remaining players in that corresponding round. It’s always tempting to begin with a new game right after you got whacked, but the more time you spend on learning the more capable of not dying again you’ll become. This would give helpful insight on how the more experienced players move, fight and build. Some players across the world already have pretty clear strategies. For instance, many players can just wander around hoping to remain undetected but some others utilize the game’s amazing construction abilities, where they around themselves with solid structures that they use for protection and to gain an obvious advantage on every possible combat. This may be a very common strategy especially in team-based matches.
- Most Important Considerations
In Fortnite Battle Royale you literally must do whatever it takes to survive. The battles are very competitive and players are getting more and more skilful. Three very important aspects of the game are the combat effectiveness, survival knowledge and building skills. With a proficient combination of these three no one would ever stop you. These essential skills will be your resolution to win and to good performance.
In Fortnite there are a lot of useful items scattered around the map. You’ll find large quantities of valuable items as you explore different areas of the island. The items that can be found and collected range from weapons, ammos, health packs, shields, resources to build, as well as valuable boxes with multiple items. You can easily detect where the items are located but there’s also the possibility that an enemy may be aiming to collect the same thing as you and that would send you to deathly fight instead of gathering valuables. Thus is much better to plan you progression early and watch out for the landing place. Avoid enemies while landing as the first battle usually tends to happen just after landing. Once you decide where to land, look around if there are any visual enemies.This is a battle game where is presupposed to survive as much as you can, which means that you don’t need to make more kills than your opponents to win nor have the biggest amount of supplies.
Another very important this is that there are different features for each weapon type along with the large quantity of different weapons. Each weapon performs differently in damage and fire-rate. The range effectiveness differs between different weapons. Thus switching weapons accordingly on a combat might be very crucial to your ongoing existence. For instance, the assault rifles are largely recommended for beginners, as they have a high damage and high fire-rate, while the sniper rifle is very essential and determining for long range combats as just one shot can kill your enemy. Though you have to be careful when using scope as your view will be narrowed down.
- The Combat
Regarding the combats there are a couple of certain things to always keep in mind. First of all you have to aim being on a roof, or in a location higher than your opposing party. Is better to shoot while being above others and if being upon a roof you can use your pickaxe to break in and get ready for combat with your opponent. It’s generally much easier to shoot downwards and thus being on higher ground gives you a smooth advantage in every combat. Without mentioning that you can even spot enemies without being noticed. It’s much more stronger to shoot down than up, and your build could place you higher than your enemies. Take advantage of your building when in combat.
Hearing is also a much valuable attribute in Fortnite ’s combats. As you explore you’ll be able to hear the movements of rivals through their gunshots, footsteps and building sounds that would confirm your opponent’s presence somewhere close to you. While you move you’ll cause a certain sound which will indicate the level of noise caused by moving.
Basically everything that has to do with encountering an enemy is related with your decisions and the style that you choose to play. There’s a tremendous amount of successful and unsuccessful precedents that have determined some vital priorities. Such as the way that your character moves. As the camera is behind you, you can as well hide behind the edge of an object and move viewpoint to spot the enemies and shoot them while being at the forefront of visibility. In this way mostly enemies won’t be able to spot you. When there is no place to hide yourself from an enemy attack, building a wall or stairs is an efficient way to defend yourself. Then you will have a choice whether to continue the combat.
