If we talk about battle royale type games, we have to talk about Fortnite, the most popular game of this genre in the world. If you like to build and are able to do it quickly, it can provide you with a large number of hours of fun, either individually or with friends.
Fortnite, unlike other titles, has a series of tricks which you must follow if you want to enjoy this game as otherwise just like any other game it is completely frustrating. If you want to know the best tricks to be an expert in Fortnite, I invite you to continue reading.
The best Fortnite cheats for beginners
If you've made it this far, presumably you have the basic knowledge from Fortnite.
Different weapons
Unlike other games, weapons in Fortnite are sorted by color, according to the damage they do: white, green, blue, purple and gold. Golden weapons do more damage than bladed weapons.
Construction materials
Construction in Fortnite is only limited to number of materials that we have, so it is important to chop wood, stone and iron to be able both to attack the enemy from the height and to pose a defense against an attack.
The skins do not offer any additional advantages
Fortnite is a free game. The only money Epic Games makes through this title is through the character sale/ skins, dances, cosmetic items ... the battle pass and Fortnite Club (monthly subscription with exclusive skins).
Using one skin or another does not offer any advantage to the users who use them. Fortnite is a game of skill, so if you want to be good, the best thing to do is practice, practice and practice, in addition to following the tricks that we show you in this article.
Strength of materials
It does not take much knowledge of Fornite to know that the least resistant material is wood and the most resistant to shots is iron, stone being the material that offers a medium resistance.
Iron, by offering the highest resistance, it costs more to obtain (farm) chopping, while the wood is obtained more quickly.
Revive your partner
If your partner has fallen in a battle, you have 60 seconds to recover his flag, a flag that is in the place where he has fallen. By retrieving the flag, you can revive your partner anywhere on the map where the respawn van is located.
Practice: build, build and build
As I have said above, if you like to build, to be able to create in Taj Mahal in just a few seconds in front of your opponent, while he is hidden behind a stone, you must practice. Unlike other games, Fortnite makes available to users Creative Mode, a mode where you can access individually or with friends to practice building.
You have to take into account building in Fortnite is like learning to type on a keyboard: it is about train muscle memory. The more you practice, when you face an opponent, you will automatically build a tower without even realizing it. Although this process can be boring, it is best to always do it in the company of a friend.
Land on the rooftops
To find a weapon quickly, we must always land on the roofs of houses, especially when we land in an area full of enemies. Usually the chests with weapons are located on the top of the houses, landing on the roof being the fastest way to reach them.
Look for the heights
In any shooter game, height always gives a additional advantage over the enemy, so whenever possible, we must look for the height, either on top of a mountain, a house or build a tower with iron or stone, if we do not want the enemy to destroy it at the first change and remove ourselves life from fall damage.
Choose your fights carefully
Before we start shooting at the first enemy we see, we must study both their position and ours. We must also take into account, if we play with friends, it is the number of enemies that we are going to face. A 4v4 fight is not the same as 4v2.
Another important point to keep in mind is if we have enough ammunition (In case the combat is prolonged and the number of priests and shields we have). If the three previous conditions are met and we also have the height, we can start hitting shots to try to get rid of the enemy team.
Bullets don't go straight
In some shooters like Apex Legends, PUBG or Call of Duty: Warzone (first person view), weapons have recoil, a setback that we must control to avoid ending up shooting at the sky. This recoil not found in Fortnite (third person view), but like in the other titles, the bullets never go straight, instead they have a downward trajectory.
This we must take into account when shoot at a distance, especially when we use rifles or snipers, since their range of bullets is higher than with pistols or submachine guns. If we use snipers, and we want to hit the head, depending on the distance at which the enemy is, we must aim above the head.
If you take down an enemy: it's time to attack
If you play in duos, trios or squads, when you find yourself in a fight and the first enemy falls, it's time to attack (rushear). Why? Picking up a fallen teammate takes 10 seconds, and in the middle of a battle his teammates will not pick him up, so they are outnumbered and it will be easier to finish off the enemy.
One eye always in the storm
Another aspect that we must always keep in mind is the storm (something intrinsic in this type of game). The first phase of the storm, it hardly hurts And even if we are far away, if we have enough priests, we can reach the safe zone, either by running, by car, by plane, on zip lines ...
However, as the different areas of the storm progress, the damage it does is doubling, so it becomes more difficult to reach a safe area if we are far away or do not have enough cures.
Select your weapons well
The number of weapons available in Fortnite, just like in any other shooter it is very high, so we must take into account which are the weapons with which we best get along.
While it is true that shotguns are the weapons that do damageYou have to have a lot of aim, because if you miss a shot, you can be finished before your enemy, especially if he also has a shotgun and does not miss.
If you are starting in the game, the ideal is to get used to a medium range rifle and a sniper, to begin to face each other in the distance, leaving the rest of the spaces of our backpack for priests and shields.
As we gain confidence and our aim has improved, we can choose to play in a more active way, using a shotgun (close range) and a submachine gun (it shoots faster than a rifle but the bullets have less range).
The number of ammunition that we can store in our backpack is unlimitedNot so the number of materials, which is limited to 999 units of each material. Both the cures and the shields are limited depending on the type they are (bandages, first-aid kits, mini shields, shields, fish…).
Modify the controls
If you play with a controller and see that your ability is still the same as it was at the beginning, you should give the different settings that the game offers us when building.
Some of these configurations, it offers us the build buttons in the shoot and aim buttons, allowing you to build much faster than switching between the build menu and the menu that gives access to weapons.
Slope of the environment
In shooters it is very important to know where the sound is coming from, since it is usually where are the enemies, being more than advisable to always play with headphones. In this way, we can hear if there are shots near our location, where the enemy is coming from if we are in a house ...
Know the health of the enemies
When you shoot an enemy, on the top of the head, a number is displayed, number that represents the damage you have done. If that number is shown in blue, the character has a shield. When it stops showing blue, it means that the character has stopped having it. Headshots do more damage and are represented in yellow.
The life bar of the characters in Fortnite is 100 points, like the shield bar, so if we have both the life and the shield to the maximum, we have 200 life points.
Taking into account the damage that we have been able to do to the enemy, it may be time to get closer, throw a grenade, shoot to destroy the construction in which it is hidden to prevent it from healing….
Can't find cures? Time to fish
One of the most recent changes Fortnite has received is the ability to fish. Thanks to the fishing rods that we can find near the coastal areas and in the rivers, we can get from cures, to shields, through basic or legendary weapons depending on the fish we catch (worth the redundancy). In addition, we can also find mushrooms in the forests. This type of food gives us up to 50 shield points.
Don't forget to chop materials
Unlike other shooters, building is sometimes practically mandatory to be able to get out of a battle alive. But to build, you need materials, materials that wear out as you build, so it is important to always keep an eye on the number of materials we have in our inventory.
Communicate with colleagues
If you don't have friends to play with, but it's terribly lazy to play alone to avoid hiding at all times, you can play with other people through duos, trios, or squads without needing to speak the same language.
Fortnite incorporates a dialing system, a system that allows us to inform our teammates where an enemy is, if they are interested in a weapon that we have found and that we are not going to use, if you need cures, shields or materials.
