Other tips for getting better at Ranked/Competitive Mode

Aside from tweaking in-game settings, a few other ways to get better at Ranked/Competitive Mode is to just play. At first, winning each match may not be possible, but in time, it will become second nature. For beginners taking their first step into the world of semi-professional matches, it's a good idea to play passively and learn the lay of the land.

Understand which weapons work well at what range and how creating a loot path during the early game will save a lot of time and effort later on. Additionally, playing with a more experienced player is also a good idea.

They will be able to somewhat coach and help you learn the tricks of the trade. Other than this, self-introspection will also be needed to learn how to cope with the Fortnite Ranked/Competitive Mode.

However, the most important thing is to stay persistent. Don't give up after defeat. Learn from the mistakes using the Replay Mode and understand what went wrong and finetune strategies. This will help build confidence and improve the ability to change the game plan on the fly.
