10 tips for beginners in Fortnite

Like many others, you, dear reader, probably on a general hype first of all jumped into PUBG. However, then a funny cartoon competitor, who at first refused to take seriously, began to gain weight rapidly. As a result, Fortnite became the "royal battle number 1", and at the same time the most popular game in the world. Now, when even a hockey player Ovechkin is hammering in a humorous shooter, Bundesliga football players and NBA basketball players, I want to try it myself, is not it?

Moreover, it can be done absolutely free of charge on all possible platforms - PS4, Xbox One, PC and iOS (only Android in Epic Games has not yet been covered, but soon they are going to fix it). However, despite the bright graphics, the game is not as simple as it seems. Especially for beginners Gmbox has collected 10 tips that will allow to reduce the period of merging and bring the desired dominance to the maximum.

1. At the very beginning of the match, use the pickaxe on anything that comes to hand

Almost any object in Fortnite (except for the terrain itself) can be destroyed, and when you do it with a pick, materials - wood, stone, metal - get to you in inventory. Later, so to speak, in the endgame, when the game reaches the stage of defense, these materials will be indispensable in the construction.

2. Learn how to build. Buildings are protection. Protection is survival.

In the main competitor of Fortnite, that is, in PUBG, accuracy is first of all important. Here, good architectural skills will help you survive, even if the god himself is acting against you honest headshots. In addition, construction is not only a defense, but an attack in skillful hands. Suppose you found a rare sniper. Build a ramp on a steep hill, climb up there and destroy it behind you. Other players will not immediately understand where the fire comes from.

3. Health is above all. Priority should be lechilki and replenishment of the shield.

About the importance of first aid kits do not need to tell - it's understandable since the arcade of the 80's. But on the blue banks is to focus. In PUBG, in addition to cosmetic skins, there is also an armor, which must be found and worn every time during the match. Fortnite has a slightly different system: special items replenish the shield. Have you seen the blue jar? At once drink, or take with itself if an armor and so on a maximum.

4. All weapons in Fortnite works like in classic shooters. With one exception ...

Epic Games did not violate the traditional principles of "shooters". The pistol is good only at the beginning of the match. Shotgun and sniper - like a dolphin and a mermaid: both are ideal in their element, but the first loses its meaning at a distance, and the second - on the contrary - near. PP - "Pray and water (lead)": at a distance up to the middle the submachine gun is good, then it becomes stupid. But the rocket launchers in Fortnite-OP, even in Battlefield 3, they did not act like that. Excellent scrap against any tricks of skilful architects, carries the fort for one or two.

5. Pomegranate grenade - discord. Remember what the difference is.

The simplest is an ordinary grenade that acts like ... an ordinary grenade. The boogie bomb makes the enemies involuntarily dance for a while, and at this point they are extremely vulnerable. Port-a-fort is a compact device, which instantly creates a mini-fortress when it hits the surface. It's usually used on the defensive, but the unsurpassed tape drive Ninja has proven that it's possible to attack. And the most complex gadget is Impulse grenade. Here everything depends on the angle of the throw. Real professionals make roquet jumps with it, which even Quake III Arena did not dream about. That is, with due dexterity, you can immediately escape from the closely adjacent dangerous zone.

6. Do not be afraid to be aggressive, especially at the beginning of the match

You just landed from the bus, and from the weapons managed to find only the weakest gray pistol. Very close, around the corner, the sounds of the pick are heard. What to do? Of course, attack! Even if the opponent has a green shotgun, it's not terrible to die right at the beginning. Well, if the poor man only has a pick and half a mesh of bricks, you are guaranteed a victory even with a crap pistol.

7. Study the psychology of your opponent carefully. Flight almost always means weakness. Nearly…

Another situation. Nearby you heard shots, and went there. You got a certain poor guy who immediately ran. In 95% of cases this means that either he does not have any ammunition for good weapons, or in the previous shootout the whole shield and 3/4 of health were borne (and there were no first-aid kits or cans), or both. However, there is another 5% of cases of special cunning.

8. Be extremely vigilant: Fortnite has deadly traps, no worse than in the classic tower defense

Actually, plus one fundamental difference from PUBG. Did you play Dungeon Defenders or Orcs Must Die? Then the importance of traps you do not need to explain. In Fortnite there are cases when you pursue a seemingly weakened fugitive, run into the house, and from the ceiling you sharply fly in retractable thorns. Which this "weakened" there previously established, the benefit is done in two clicks. So learn to use the traps yourself.

9. Study the map

PUBG created a strange situation: people adore the first card, hates the second, and the third does not wait with open arms. In Epic, after looking at the whole thing, they decided that let there be one single card for now. So study it thoroughly. Especially you should be interested in the central areas, like Tilted Towers (as in the Russian version, the Droned Towers?), Because the narrowing of the safe zone goes from the edge to the center, and there, as a rule, the most harsh action takes place.

10. Look at the professionals and try to reproduce their actions

The construction of endless staircases, the attack with the help of the Port-a-Fort defense gadget with a compact fortress, kilometer rocket jumps on its own impulse grenades - all these specific tricks in Fortnite will come in handy no less than the classic ability to put headshots. Well, where does all this spy, if not the professionals? Ninja and DrLupo are considered one of the biggest authorities on the Fortnite scene. Look at their Twitch and YouTube channels, and get yourself wit.
