What is the aim of Fortnite?

In Fortnite Battle Royale your aim is to win by being the last person/last team standing. You need to defeat other players but avoid getting defeated yourself. You must also avoid getting hit by the storm. The storm shrinks over time, meaning there is less space to play. Any player caught outside of the safe zone will get damage. To survive you will have to be offensive, defensive and think strategically. While hiding can be beneficial sometimes it isn’t always the best idea as there is limited space to play.

1) FORTNITE SAVE THE WORLD:

This is similar to Minecraft and Left 4 Dead. It is a co-operative strategic adventure game. You play alone or with up to 4 players. The aim is to explore randomly created maps and complete missions. Building structures will be required to complete each mission. Useful items will also be found.

This is one of the game modes available to play in Fortnite. Later on Battle Royale became the most well-known game mode in the franchise.

2) FORTNITE BATTLE ROYALE:

This is what made Fortnite very popular. Up to 100 players can play on the same map and try to be the last person/last team standing. If playing in teams then the team will win.

You can build structures to protect yourself and give yourself an advantage. As the map is quite small you will need to think carefully and make fast decisions. Fortnite does not involve cars and other vehicles so the map doesn’t encourage you to use these. The weapons do not always shoot straight.

Changes made to Fortnite 3.0.0:

Several issues were fixed and changes were made to Battle Royale.

New weapon.

A new weapon was added to Battle Royale. This weapon was the Hand Cannon. This can help improve combat but can put you more at risk of being targeted.

Improved Building.

Building has been improved. Instead of having to click multiple times to place items you can now hold down your mouse. Auto Change Materials means if you run out of materials you can automatically change to another resource (wood, brick, metal etc.) that is available to you. This should help keep you from getting interrupted while building.

Cost of Battle Royale edition.

Battle Royale is free to play however there are other editions that cost money. The prices are:

• Standard Edition: $19.99
• Deluxe Edition: $89.99
• Limited Edition: $149.99

Prices may not be up to date. Please check the official Epic Games Store.

3) FORTNITE BATTLE PASS:

The Battle Pass added extra rewards and customisation items. These include characters, emotes and dances. Some items can be unlocked by completing challenges within the game. However, buying the pass will give you extra rewards. More rewards were also given in the third season.

Availability, price, game modes, features and system requirements can change. Please check the official Fortnite website for up-to-date information.

Tips for Fortnite Gameplay.

1 – Minimise Noise.

This can help prevent you getting spotted by enemies. The sound of you climbing stairs, running, switching weapons or going through bushes can be heard by other players via their headsets. Therefore try to move as quietly as possible. Especially around buildings. You may want to wear shoes that aren’t too noisy. When firing your weapon, try to use an item to hide behind as it can be seen where you are.

While playing Fortnite Battle Royale there will be bushes in the wooded areas. While these can give you some cover, they can also be used by enemies to hide and ambush you. Consider turning down the graphics on the wooded areas to make it harder to see you.

2 – Change Settings.

The default settings may not be what you want. Change your keyboard and mouse settings to suit your gameplay. For example, if you find it uncomfortable to press the W key for sprinting change the setting to something more comfortable.

If you are playing in FPS mode, be aware of your surroundings. It can be harder to see other players coming towards you.

3 – Look out for weapons and items.

Having good weapons will help when fighting enemies. You may find better ones later on in the game. However, having no ammo won’t help for very long. Try to find extra weapons in hidden places.

You will also need some defence items. Having a helmet will help reduce the risk of getting shot in the head. However this may get worse when it gets damaged. Try to find a good replacement.

While the common AKM may not be the best for long range combat, the M16 is more efficient. Shotguns are great for short and medium range. If you are in a building and an enemy is outside this will help. If you find any ammo for the KAR98 try to shoot them in the head. Shooting them in the body won’t cause much damage however shooting them in the head will kill them in one shot. Other items can also be useful. For example having a scope can help you aim for enemies far away while staying hidden.

4 – Be careful when entering houses.

While houses can have weapons and ammo, they can also have enemies. Don’t rush in as you could get caught out. If the door is closed it may mean no one has entered the house. If the door is open it could mean someone is in there or has already been in there. Be aware.

If you shut the door behind you, enemies coming towards you may think there is no one in there. This can help you stay hidden. Houses can be a dangerous place so you should assume there may be another player nearby. Turn your headset up so you can hear any footsteps or noises. This can help you work out if there is anyone in there.

Don’t collect too much. If your inventory is full you may have to drop some more useful items.

Tips for New Fortnite Players

Learn the map.

Although ultimately you will want to learn all parts of the Fortnite map to win, as a new player it is advisable to start off learning the basics and getting some loot before heading into the centre of the map where Dusty Divot is located. This is because experienced players often tend to head here so you might get knocked out quickly.

Get as much loot as possible.

Search around the area, cut down trees, find chests and search buildings. This will give you more equipment to help you stay in the game against experienced players.

Build a shelter.

Although killing players is a big part of Fortnite, if you get knocked out you lose. As a new player it is advised to get loot, search around and build a shelter so that you can hide. When you’re ready to go into the game you can head in.

Change the controls.

As a new player you should change the controls to suit you. If you have a controller then make sure the movement, shooting and switching weapons are set up in a way that feels natural. This means you won’t accidentally press the wrong button when you need to switch between weapons. If you’re using a keyboard then changing to using the Builder Pro can make it easier to build.
