Top 5 ways to improve your chances at a victory royale in Fortnite

#5 - Stick to a landing zone

There are plenty of places to land, so picking somewhere random is okay if it's just a fun game. But to gain an advantage, players need to stay focused on one place and know where everything is in that spot. Loots, weapons, and hiding spots do not change, so it is best to know landing spots by heart.

They can choose a spot that is just right for them and their playstyle. It has the weapons they like, it's perfect for the kind of fighting they're used to, and it has just the right amount of enemies. The preferred landing zone is specific to each player, but not getting into a firefight early on is always best.

#4 - Keep yourself scarce but know your surroundings.

Players shouldn't run in Fortnite unless they absolutely have to. It is always recommended to crouch when moving across the map because it is a quick way of getting around unseen. If players do need to run, it is from the circle or in a fight, not anywhere in between.

Players should also always look out for other players who are running or moving nearby. Easy fights can be set up with thought and planning. Players can gain a massive advantage before battles begin if they can jump on their opponents.

#3 - Camp

The following tip is controversial but consistently effective. If a fight seems unwinnable or players don't have many weapons and ammunition, it is best to hide. Taking potshots from a bush or a house is an intelligent way to lower an enemy's health before an actual fight occurs.

A player who camps in a bush can let two enemy players fight until one is left. After that, the player can get the last of the health the remaining rival had. While it's not fair, desperate times call for desperate measures, and a victory royale is easier to earn this way.

#2 - Defend yourself by building

It's hard to win in Fortnite without building. Many have tried not to build, and many have failed because building is what sets Fortnite apart from other games. If players do not like to build, it is unlikely that they will win any victory royales.

Some sweats go too far and build the Washington Monument over getting shot once. Building a small fort or building a more extensive fort depends on the situation; it's not a one-building-fits-all kind of thing. The best way to become a great editor and builder is by practicing in creative mode.

#1 - Keep organized with weaponry

Keep weapons that are useful but also organized. Weapons have to be switched out quickly if the player wants to get more shots out instead of reloading. If a player accidentally switches to a sniper instead of a shotgun, they may lose the chance at a kill. When playing, players should always organize their slots to know where everything is before they pick it.

It is also crucial for players to have a good variety of slots that are utilized well. All slots could be filled with shotguns, making reloading almost nonexistent. However, if players can't shoot an enemy from afar, they'll die before the fight begins. The same applies to longer-range snipers in close-quarters matches.

There should be one shotgun, one long-range rifle, an SMG or pistol, a health item, and a special item or extra weapon that the player is good at using. Generally, this stack is the most beneficial all-around because it keeps the player alive.
