5 Tips and Tricks To Get You That W in Fortnite

by John Nygren

1.Building:
Building is where the skill gap lies in Fortnite. Getting better just takes practice, but you have to make sure you're practicing the right things. Being able to build situation-based structures as quickly as possible is probably going to help you win. Every player gets that little feeling of anxiety when you haven't seen anyone in forever, but then JimBob16772 jumps out of a bush and starts lighting you up. It's awful. While JimBob's actions will leave you pissed off and rethinking your entire life, don't try and outshoot him. Build walls, make him use ammo and let the fucker have it.

2.Use the Storm to Your Advantage:
This one's pretty simple. Late in the game when you can outrun the storm, use it to your advantage. It eliminates the threat of enemies from your blind spots and lets you focus on what's in front of you.

3.Don't Play Lootnite:
Looting, whether it's chests or player loot, is what gets a majority of people killed late in the game. Try to focus less on that gold scar that you know is below you and help your team kill the remaining enemies, dickhead.

4.Choose Your Loadout Wisely:
For console gamers, snipers and hunting rifles are more fun than they are practical. Assault rifles for anything medium-to-long range is your best bet. Instead of potentially missing a loud, low percentage shot with a sniper, you should be able to get 5 or 6 AR shots before they start building. The pump to tac shotgun is also worth it for its short-range and quick output. A combo of these guns with your preferred form of splode and some heals is the smartest loadout you can roll with.

5.Bush it Up:
I'm just going to say it: There's no better place to hide than a bush. They tried to ruin bushes for the common folk with that fake gold be-a-bush shit, but they failed. If you wanted to win every game of Fortnite you played, your best bet statistically would be to land somewhere low-key and bush your way to victory. It takes a lot of patience and will result in you getting called a bitch by your teammates, but you can't deny that it works.
