Fortnite, an incredibly popular free to play PC game, is the latest title to capitalize on the battle royale craze.
Fortnite distinguishes itself with cartoon-style graphics
and unique construction mechanics, but the premise is familiar. Your goal is to
be the last person, squad, or team left alive in around. That’s easier said
than done, of course, since each match includes 99 other players, all of whom
have the same goal. Although the four-person squad or 50 vs 50 team modes can
dramatically reduce the number of enemy combatants, you still compete
indirectly with your teammates to get the best score.
The best way to improve your Fortnite performance is to dive into the game for a few hours and get the first-hand experience. Fortnite is more accessible than Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) ($26.99 at Green Man Gaming), and you are likely to fare better without as much experience. Still, there’s no harm in familiarizing yourself with some basic mechanics and strategies beforehand. Although we can’t guarantee these tips will propel you to a first-place finish, following them will improve your chances. Luck, after all, determines many of the outcomes in these types of games.
