Fortnite @Buff

• Practice Builds Muscle Memory

At first glance, you might think that Fortnite is just a more colorful version of the typical FPS genre. However, just one game and you will see that it is vastly different since it allows you to build structures and change the playing field as you see fit. This makes the game a lot more mechanically challenging as you will have to improve not just your shooting skills but your building skills as well. This means that the first step to actually improve is to keep on practicing. It might seem cliché but learning the fundamentals is much more important in fortnite because of the high mechanical skill cap needed.

• Keybinds are Important

Which brings us to another tip on how to improve: decide on keybinds and stick with them. Since the game relies on a lot of muscle memory and mechanical skills, constantly changing your keybinds can actually bring more harm as you will have to remember different keybinds every now and then. The best way to improve as a fortnite player is to simply copy a pro’s keybind and stick with that so that you learn the muscle memory quickly. After that, you won’t have to actively think about what buttons to press so you can focus more on learning the game and improving your game IQ.

• Learn to Build More than to Shoot

Another thing that players often get wrong when playing Fornite is that they treat it as if it is just any other battle royale or FPS game. However, Fortnite is much more about the building aspect than it is about the shooting. Having great aim is important but blocking off your opponents incoming shot with a well-timed ramp placement is much more important in surviving in the game. Once you become good at building, then editing is another important skill that you will need. When fighting an opponent, remember that the one with the higher ground will most likely win so if you can build upwards to get the height advantage off your enemy, the more likely you are to win the engagement.

• Farming Resources

To build structures, you will need resources. To beat your opponent, you will need to have more resources than them. This means that if you can gather more resources than your opponent, then you will have the upper hand. Once you get the hang of it, you will find that your rotations will become more efficient as you will be able to gather resources and engage with enemies then build your structures then gather resources again. Like any game, there is a sort of rhythm to things and once you find your own pace, you will be amazed at how quickly you improve.

• Is Fortnite a good esports title to learn?

A game is said to be a good esports title if players can earn a decent amount by being active in the professional scene. This means that the developers actively promote the game and ensure that the game’s professional games are well-funded. Fortnite recently put up $100 million as cash prizes in its competitive scene last 2019 which means that getting good at the game might actually rake in a lot of cash.
