Players of the game come from all over the world and so do the Esports teams. Even though Fortnite has been lagging behind in India when it comes to gaming but almost all users who have devices that can run the game have tried it at some point or other. If you are someone who has just started playing Fortnite and is losing a lot then this post is for you. Fortnite is a game that defined the “Free to Play” genre. For the new players of Fortnite, here is a guide that can help you in improving your gameplay. Each of the steps given here are applicable to all platforms.
Fortnite Guide For Noobs:
- Get the device that is right for you. Many players who use Playstation 4 controllers or basically console controllers get wrecked in Fortnite cause they are not able to control their aim or movement properly. So choose your control device based on your gaming style. Many players just use the keyboard and mouse to play Fortnite on their consoles. If you are someone who uses mobile devices or iPad to play games then use that to play Fortnite. If the game developers are happy to provide you with options then why not take advantage of them.
- Get your sensitivity settings right in Fortnite. If you just do a google search on any big player of Fortnite then you’ll get millions of search results that will tell you all of the settings that particular player is using in Fortnite. Sensitivity settings are of the highest importance in games like Fortnite or Apex since the game depends on your movements and aiming. Lowering the sensitivity settings will always help in getting a more stable aim in the game.
- One thing to keep in mind if you are a new player in Fortnite is to choose your drop spots carefully. Avoid going to locations that are hot drops and wait in the bus for some time. Always jump at the end of the map. Since most players will drop out by that time and you will get more time to loot around and collect materials. It may also give you some kills in the game since you will have a lot more time to loot and gather enough building materials.
- Get yourself a good pair of headphones or earphones. Games like Fortnite give a lot of emphases to sound and where the sound is coming from. Footsteps and shot sounds can help you identify where the rest of the players are and then you can decide if you want to take the fight to them. All of the pro players of Fortnite have some type of gaming or studio headsets. So definitely get yourself a good pair of headphones.
- Always watch the streams of Pro players and streamers. See how they approach each situation in the game. They just might surprise you how they handle the same situation that you were in before. Even by just watching them you will start to get a better idea of the map in the game and how to drop in the game.
