Fortnite Battle Royale: Beginners Guide

Our articles on Fortnite Fortnite Battle Royale: Beginners Guide The Battle Royale mode is a success in Fortnite. But before you get into wild games, we advise you to read our guide to get started!

With the success of H1Z1 et PUBG and the advent of Battle Royale, epic Games decided to release a version of this new mode declined in the sauce Fortnite (against which Bluehole, publisher of PUBG, could decide to file a complaint).



Fortnite Battle Royale: Beginners Guide

Available free-to-play since September 26, the mode Battle Royale de Fortnite can be played in alone, duo or via squad (3-4 players). While PUBG is currently only available on PC (it will be on ONE by the end of the year), Fortnite and its mode Battle Royale are available on PC, PS4 et ONE, and since its release, the mode Battle Royale has been a huge hit on Twitch.

The first minutes of the game

As for any other Battle Royale, towns and large structures have more loot, but are also much more dangerous since all the players will rush there: so be careful what strategy you want to adopt, because this is about surviving and not to get as many kills as possible.

Although you don't have a "real" weapon when you drop in the area, you are nevertheless equipped with a pickaxe to collect the different resources (wood, metal, brick) which can be used as a melee weapon if necessary. Additionally, the resources you recover don't take up space in your backpack, so do not hesitate to collect materials when you can to create constructions.



For more discretion, crouch constantly, except in case of danger, to do less noise and surprise your enemies (although you are slower). In addition, your shots will also be more accurate.

Pay attention to the distances, however, there is no vehicle usable in this mode yet. Battle Royale.

The buildings

While Fortnite stands out for the construction of its fortresses, these only serve to make you spotted by your enemies in the mode Battle Royale, who will be happy to dislodge you there with rocket launchers. Also, the location of the new safe zone is impossible to predict, so spending ten minutes building a fort can turn into an incredible waste of time if you find yourself outside the zone. In place, favor the buildings already present by reinforcing them with your constructions, and access spaces that were once out of your reach (attic, bell tower, ceiling...).

When you want to enter a building, watch out for doors that are already open : either an opposing player is already present, or someone has already passed and collected all the loot (equipment). Also pay attention when the doors are closed, as trickster players may have deliberately closed the doors of buildings to make it look like they haven't been explored yet to better strip you of your gear.

Be ready to react very quickly, because your shelter can be destroyed by an RPG at any time. Reactivity and anticipation are the keys to survival.

Remember that it is possible to destroy the walls in Fortnite Battle Royale, making it easier for you to access new areas or create new ones.



Place traps on crowded places (entrances to buildings, back doors) to get kills easily, or to hurt enough enemy players to be able to finish them off afterwards.

Weapons and ammunition

Always look around you if there is ammunition to recover, and if not try to locate the positions of the opposing players: do not have any downtime during your game, you are playing against the clock.

When you have just killed an enemy player, do not directly collect their equipment and make sure the area is secure because then you will be extremely vulnerable other players still alive.

In the Fortnite Battle Royale, there is 5 types of rarity different, each better than the previous one:

→ Grey: common

→ Green: uncommon

→ Blue: rare

→ Purple: epic

→ Orange: legendary (extremely rare)

Le Battle Royale de Fortnite includes the same usual types of weapons (pistols, assault rifles, snipers...), but also has spear-grenades et spear-roquettes.


Always favor assault rifles/snipers, especially those already equipped with sights. The Scar-L is here too, one of the best weapons in the game so don't think twice when you find one.

Cares

There are three types of medical items in Fortnite Battle Royale, and each takes between 5-10 seconds to be used:


→ Bandage : heals up to 75% hp

→ Care kit : heals up to 100% hp

→ armor potion : grants 50 points of armor

 

As soon as you drop an armor potion, drink it to avoid wasting seconds before starting a fight, and having ingested it could save your life when you get trapped by entering a building or being surprised by an enemy player.

Gas and the safe zone

Just like in PUBG et H1Z1, the gas deals little damage at the start of the game, then gradually deals more and more as the game continues. Another difficulty, when the gas reaches the limit of the safe zone damage taken is increased, so hurry to reach it.
