Fortnite Battle Royale: Tips for building

Our articles on Fortnite Fortnite Battle Royale: Tips for building The construction aspect is one of the key points of Fortnite's Battle Royale mode, learn to master it in order to dominate in your games!

Unlike in H1Z1 and PUBG, in the mode Battle Royale de Fortnite you can build elements of the scenery and use them to advance and protect yourself. This element will certainly make the difference during your games, so learn quickly to build elements (doors, walls, stairs) before trying to eliminate all your opponents.

Understand and master construction

Depending on the materials, build time will be more or less long. Obviously, this duration is directly related to the strength of the material. Since wood is the fastest item to build, try to always have a minimum of 150 resources so that you can build items that can be useful to you in battle (see the next point "how to survive using your constructions") .

It is not possible (for now at least) to modify an opponent's build. If you use someone else's hiding place, know that he has an advantage over you because he can see through the elements of the decor by editing the room.

In order to recover metal, you can destroy objects such as cars or bridges. However, this activity makes a lot of noise, especially since some cars have alarms. This is why it is better not to use too much metal, although it is the most resistant material, especially vis-à-vis firearms.



How to survive using your builds

You can use very simple constructions to protect yourself during your game. For example, if you need to cross an area under enemy fire (or just take cover) you can quickly build a wall.

Note that if the wall is placed but its construction is not completely finished, it can already block enemy fire but also reduce your opponent's vision.

If you're looking to escape via a floor, you don't have to wait for a staircase to be built to walk on it! Likewise, building can be a good way to lose an opponent (or splitting up a group) chasing you. Indeed, you can build a staircase leading to a roof in town, tricking your enemy into believing that you have used it. From then on, you can regain control in this chase, by taking the time to treat yourself, to prepare a confrontation zone with a trap or simply to wait for him to leave.

Conversely, if you're chasing someone, being able to quickly climb to a high point can allow you to anticipate their path or give you a better angle of fire.

For or against the construction of a base?

At the moment, the majority of players prefer to build a base late in the game. However, we are rather against this approach. Indeed, in the vast majority of the time in survival game modes, being mobile gives you an advantage, especially with the reduction of the playing area. Moreover, in Fortnite, everything is destructible! No one can really protect themselves from a rocket launcher or grenades...Also your opponent can destroy the foundations of your shelter, thus destroying your entire construction.



Therefore, it is generally wiser touse the construction aspect in specific times (for temporary protection or to access strategic points) rather than turning the last part of the encounter into a kind of giant Minecraft.
