Does anyone understand sbmm????

I don’t play comp. I don’t play ranked. I’ve only played since ch5s1.

I mainly play solos. Maintained 15-20 win rate this season.

Is there any reasoning behind dying to elite-unreal players in pubs the past few days? I have tracker in game, so I see their stats when they kill me.

I’ve landed at the same spot since I started, 9/10 uncontested. Until the last few days where there is 2-5 other players fighting over 2-4 chests.

Mouse dpi and sens

I’m newer to KBM and play on 1600 dpi and 3.5 in game sens. If changed my DPI to 800 and in game sens to 7, would there be any noticeable difference?

I ask as I’ve noticed most pros use 800 dpi

PC Hardware for comp?

Hey guys,

ive been playing a lot of comp (cc’s and all kinds of cups) back in chapters 1 and 2 and am just now coming back to playing fortnite and I noticed that my pc is struggling to get me to 144fps during build fights and stacked late games. I feel like my pcs bad ingame performance kind of gets me killed here and there so I was wondering if any of you guys had some recommendations on budget friendly cpus and gpus that can get me to consistent 144fps in those scenarios. running on a radeon rx 580 8gb and amd ryzen 5 2600, also playing on performance mode and native res.

thx in advance :)

is there a map that shows you how to freebuild step by step? I'm looking for something that highlights the builds like in build the radar in save the world. I don't know how to free build, high ground retake, piece control, anything like that

What exactly do the boosts do in Advanced Settings for Sensitivity?

I haven't messed with my settings since 2019 when I had my sensitivity perfected, but I feel like something changed this Chapter and my sensitivity seemed off.

I just switched from PS4 to Xbox Series X and all of my settings are set to default and I'm overwhelmed by all of the Advanced Settings. I've tried searching on YouTube for explanations on everything, but it's all "JUST COPY MY SENSITIVITY FOR GOD AIM!!"

Could someone help me out with all of this boost stuff, and what I should do?

Question for those familiar with both controller and KBM

I play mainly ZB. Do you think there is any point using KBM for ZB, or does controller movement outclass it in this mode?

Should I learn builds?

I started playing with my son, who plays zb.

I got pretty into it due to how high of a skill ceiling the game has.

I put a lot of time in creative fighting and was able to bring my solo win rate from 6% ch5s1, up to 19% out of 101 matches this season.

After watching FNCS globals it really dawned on me how much extra RNG zero build has, being that you are 100% reliant on whatever cover you have nearby and position. If your cover is shot out, there’s no replacing it. Load out and even medallions mean nothing if you get a bad zone pull and face a competent enemy.

I’m on 20-50 in game ping. I only play pubs and rarely ranked. Would it be worth learning builds, or does my ping nullify it?

I ask because I’ve heard prospering and others say they quit builds due to having 20-30 ping.

Can 360 Movement Be Achieved on Keyboard Without a Mouse Using WASD or the Arrow Keys?

Hi everyone! So I found out through a doctor that I have carpal tunnel syndrome in my right hand (I’m left handed) and it may never completely go away which bummed me out trying to make my way to being a competitive Fortnite player and I’m wondering with it affecting my precision with aim in my right hand mouse, a lightbulb just hit me that what if I somehow could achieve the that precision/movement with my right hand into my natural left hand. Is there a way to do this? I’ve also been told buying a joystick like the Thrustmaster could help with my long term issue. This game has blessed me in ways you don’t even know and giving it up ain’t much of an option. I’m on ps5 (PlayStation 5).

Help with movement

I play KBM and this season I feel so slow. When I run out of stamina I move like a NPC would. When I've played with friends it isn't the case for them

Now i know the streamlined assets are important to have downloaded for better fps. But would you be better or worse off having like directx12 n shaders downloaded? I feel like i remember someone saying they slow down your game but im not sure

Anyone want to help me get better at the game?

So I play on an xbox, controller, and I’d say i’m alright at the game. I used to be a lot better but have fallen off, my peak rank in recent season was champ in zero build and diamond in build, but i’m looking to get better at builds. I need a person (ideally better than me) to 1v1 and practice mechanics with, and help me improve to where i used to be. i couldn’t find any recent gameplay clips to show sorry

Thanks to anyone who’s willing, i know it’s a big ask.

Are my sprint/crouch binds a problem?

I play only zb(im a dad and thats what my kids play. It was tough switching to KBM but now I have better stats than on controller.

My sprint and crouch keybinds are mapped to the two side buttons on my mouse.

I’m struggling to get good juke/movement and I’m wondering if this may be due to these binds? Would anyone with experience on KMB have an opinion on if these binds are problematic?

Does anyone know the answer to this?

I have the toasted marshmello style, I’ve wondered for sometime now when marshmello comes back every time to the item shop do people buying him now get that style? Or was that something they had to do a while ago to get it?

Is this a good routine to get better in fortnite?

I aim train in Aim Labs for an hour

10 minutes on sphere track(standard) 10 minutes on Reactive Track(standard) 10 minutes on spider shot(speed) 10 minutes on strafe shot(speed) 10 minutes on micro shot(precision) 10 minutes on grid shot(precision)

I do majority of this on a higher sens as aim training on a higher sens has done wonders for my shaky ahh aim

I also do an hour of mechanics training

15 minutes of slow motion free builds 15 minutes of fast free builds 15 minutes of normal speed free builds 15 minutes of piece control/peek practice

Then I do 30 minutes of zone wars, 30 minutes of realistics, grind Ranked for an hour and try and vod review as many of my deaths as possible and that's the end of the routine. Just looking to see if there's anything I could change about this routine as I want my chances of making it in comp to be as high as possible.
