We’ve all been there: watching top Fortnite players<\/a> and pros making lots of unique kills with their fantastic craft of Fortnite playing. And you know what, it motivates us to be a Fortnite pro as well. So, how to get good at Fortnite<\/strong>? That we’ll find out today.<\/p>\n For instance, this guide will take you through the practical tips that help you get from noob to pro<\/strong> without putting in much effort. The tips from this guide are based on how Fortnite pros romp ahead.<\/strong><\/p>\n So, without further ado, let’s get into it.<\/p>\n\n What do we do when choosing a pair of running shoes? We generally look for a balance of cushioning, stability, and ground feel. And shoes make a big difference in how well you can run or jog.<\/p>\n The same is with Fortnite control settings, and adjusting<\/strong> them alone takes your Fortnite skills to the next level. When engaged in a match, you’ll have to perform actions in a matter of seconds — or milliseconds, more precisely.<\/p>\n So, the controls must be optimized for your highest convenience. The best Fortnite players always use specific game settings even when they’re in tournaments to ensure they’re feeling comfortable during the gameplay.<\/p>\n Follow the steps below to open Fortnite control settings:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once you’re there, adjust the following mouse settings:<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking of mouse sensitivity, the best players generally use a mouse sensitivity of roughly 0.5<\/strong>. It’s half the normal sensitivity and keeping it as low as this helps to aim better (in some cases).<\/p>\n Other than that, Fortnite eDPI<\/strong> is another essential setting to adjust. The most-earning players keep eDPI<\/strong> between 45 and 63<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Optimizing your control settings will help you get good at Fortnite.<\/span><\/p>\n Pro Tip:<\/strong> Keep the sensitivity settings low for maximum accuracy. The tip has not only been tested first-hand by me but is also popular advice from Tyler “Ninja” Blevins<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s not uncommon for people to jump out of the bus right away as the match starts.<\/p>\n For reference, there are 100 players<\/a> in each Fortnite Battle Royale<\/strong> match, and all of them are on a flying bus when the game starts. The players are free to land<\/strong> anywhere on the map as the flying bus moves from one part of the map to another.<\/p>\n One of the biggest mistakes you can make at this moment is jump right away.<\/strong><\/p>\n Though you may have found a fantastic place to land initially<\/strong>, note that most other players will land at the beginning, too<\/strong> — maybe to start killing right away.<\/p>\n So, to make sure you don’t get mixed in the crowd — and eventually killed — make sure to wait for a few moments before landing. Now, why should you land further away? Here it is:<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the biggest mistakes you can make when playing Fortnite is not using a sound device<\/strong>. Have you seen an eSports player without headphones or hands-free<\/strong>? No doubt, the answer is no<\/strong>!<\/p>\n Why all the pro players<\/strong> use sound during gameplay itself clarifies its importance.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Image Credit: TechCrunch<\/p>\n Speaking of Fortnite<\/strong> in particular, using headphones gives you the advantage of knowing if someone is behind you or walking nearby<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The excellent quality headphones<\/strong> even differentiate between sound distance and directions to ensure you hear footsteps<\/strong> from the right when a player is on your right<\/strong> and so on.<\/p>\n Similarly, you’ll quickly know someone is around when you hear gun fires<\/strong>. Also, if a bullet passes from near you, you’ll know that you have to deploy a shield or take cover to save yourself.<\/p>\n That’s how sound helps you get a Fortnite pro!<\/strong><\/p>\n It’s a general rule that:<\/p>\n Though handling skills matter a lot when it comes to overall accuracy, how good a weapon still plays a significant role, you<\/strong> see, this isn’t a movie where Tom Cruise kills a Sniper with just a knife.<\/p>\n As you know, Fortnite is a programmed game,<\/strong> and weapons come with different accuracies by default. So, if you want to get better at it, it’s highly recommended to practice with the best weapons to improve your aim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Also, know that improving your aim can take pretty long, and it’s a gradual process. But proper practice with proper weapons<\/strong> can help you become a pro faster.<\/strong><\/p>\n You see, there are plenty of weapons in Fortnite<\/strong> — like almost any other shooting game. And becoming the master of one doesn’t ensure you’re the best at using any of them. It requires dedicated practice to get better at all types of weapons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Of course, practising can get boring at times<\/strong>. To overcome boredom when practising your Fortnite skills<\/strong>, it’s recommended to play with your friends<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Playing with friends not only results in a leisure time of gameplay, but it also helps you get good at Fortnite<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n Not sure how to play with friends on PlayStation?<\/strong> Please read our guide on how to add a PS4 friend on Fortnite<\/a> for easy fixes.<\/p>\n If you have an idea of how Fortnite works,<\/strong> you might know that building structures<\/strong> is a highlight of Fortnite — yet a must-have skill to survive<\/strong>. Any Fortnite player would agree that you’ll have more chances to win if you have better building skills than your opponent.<\/p>\n Building structures<\/strong> allows you to create walls that help protect yourself from an opponent attack and from getting killed. Other than that, they help with protection in many other ways as you can build various types of traps, defensive forts, and what not?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also, know that getting better at building skills requires<\/strong> you to have set shortcuts. You won’t be that quick. Below are the optimal settings for Fortnite building<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Pro tip: <\/strong>Follow Twitch and Youtube<\/strong> Fortnite streams to get inspiration from their creative Fortnite building<\/strong> tips and use that inspiration to create your building structure<\/strong> better.<\/p>\n Another essential thing to do for getting good at Fortnite<\/strong> is to achieve a good FPS<\/strong>. And if your Fortnite is choppy, you may never make it to an expert level.<\/p>\n Would you please read our guide on why is Fortnite laggy on PC<\/a> for practical tips on achieving better FPS in Fortnite<\/strong>?<\/p>\n As Henry Ford says:<\/p>\n “The only real mistake is the one we learn nothing from.”<\/strong><\/p>\n He’s exactly right. To get better at your craft, be sure to learn from what you do wrong in Fortnite.<\/strong><\/p>\n For instance, if you couldn’t get proper cover during a sudden attack, you should learn how you could’ve survived longer by simple movements, jumping, and building skills<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Similarly, there’s plenty of small things<\/strong> that are learning about makes you better at the gameplay. To back up, don’t be afraid of dying in Fortnite or losing. Focus<\/strong> more on what caused it to happen and work on that.<\/p>\n This tip is also associated with building structures. As a rule of thumb, deploying traps, defensive forts, and walls that work as shields requires wood and bricks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So, be sure you don’t ignore them when going here, and there is a Fortnite battle royale match<\/strong>. Going after weapons and resources tends to increase your chances of winning if you do it strategically.<\/p>\n Avoiding the building resources<\/strong> can bring you in front of a situation where you’re opposed to the opponent, and having only a few resources<\/strong> could save you by building a small wall<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Some beginners tend to keep changing the keys<\/strong> to find a fit. Yeah, that feels reasonable.<\/p>\n But, changing keys suddenly decreases your gaming accuracy<\/strong>. Imaging switching from PS4 to PC gaming<\/strong>, the effect of changing keys is pretty much the same.<\/p>\n You can determine the importance of the keys<\/strong> you set because eSports players<\/strong> always use the duplicate keys they use during practice at home.<\/p>\n If you’re not sure what keybinds to use for your Fortnite, we recommend studying players, researching their keybinds, and using the ones that you find best.<\/strong><\/p>\n However, below is an excellent set of Fortnite keybinds to go for<\/strong>:<\/p>\nTake Your Time and Adjust the Control Settings for Your Comfort<\/h3>\n
