Be Vigilant, Pay Attention

Paying attention to your surroundings is vitally important in Fortnite Battle Royale, and knowing when enemies are trying to sneak up on you is going to be one of the greatest strengths that you can have in a match. Watch for enemies in windows, through cracks, and even listen for their footsteps as you search for loot. Always assume that someone is around every corner, and you’ll be prepared for any gunfights that might come your way.

You’ll also want to make sure you pay attention when changing items out in your inventory, as even a momentary glimpse away from your surroundings could lead to your untimely death at the hands of an opponent. If you can keep this in mind, and always stay vigilant at paying attention to the trees, bushes, and even hills in the distance, then you should find it harder for enemies to surprise you. This will give you plenty of time to react to their presence, and even time your own attacks against them.

Build Up Your Defenses

Fortnite’s Battle Royale game might look and sound similar to H1Z1’s King of the Kill, and even PUBG, but it’s a much different beast altogether. Not only is the game more arcade-like than PUBG, but it also includes a building system not seen in any previous battle royale game. This helps make the game feel unique, and it also gives players a different way to keep themselves alive.
