I’ve been playing since the game came out and I’ve loved the competition of the game, but I feel like I’ve been left behind ever since the boxfighting meta started. Even tho I’ve been doing good in ranked, whenever I do 1v1 price control or boxfighting I just struggle a lot. Any suggestions on how to get better in this skill?

I’m new on KBM, played on console for about 2 years, was a pretty good player on console. I have been playing Kbm for about 1 month. I am able to build and edit fairly well, my mechanics do need a lot of work, but I’m trying to mainly improve my aim and movement as of right now.

The problem I have is my hands are really small, and the key binds I used for my weapon slots which I thought were ideal have only become more awkward to switch, causing me to get my opponents very low, but because of a slight pause when I try to switch my weapons, they get the kill. I changed my shotgun from 2 to X, because 2 was hard to reach while pressing W, but I have come to learn that I end up taking my entire hand off to press the X button.

My Keybinds are:

Pickaxe - G Weapon slot 1/AR - 1 Weapon slot 2/Shotgun - X Weapon slot 3/SMG - 3 Weapon slot 4/Utility - 4 Weapon slot 5/Consumable Item - 5

Wall and Stair - Side Mouse Buttons Floor and Cone - C,V Movements - WASD Edit - Mouse Scroll up Reset - Mouse scroll Down Crouch - CTRL Sprint - Left Shift Inventory - Tab

Is there any key distinction if both are essentially “moving up layers while protected” for a fight when the opponent is above you? Or could you say upward-tunneling modules can be used as a form of retake? Or vice versa?

So I've been playing for the past two weeks or so, enjoying the game (even though i dont get much wins) and overall feeling good about the game, however i am a bit curious about getting better at the game, not to the point of going pro but on a more casual level, however i really dont know where/how to start improving so i go here,

Here is me ranking (in my opinion) of what levels i think my skills are at:

Aim - 5/10, i have played other shooters experience such as Valorant or CS2, when it comes to fortnite even though sometimes i am slightly panicking when someone comes in surprise or when i am suddenly getting caught by a random rocket launcher, for most of the time i am decent at hitting with the shotguns fairly well and switching to AR/SMG when needed

Game Sense - 3.5/10, i am fine when it comes to how to get myself geared out well with shields and heals, utility and of course: my trusty shotgun and my might as well be sniper AR, i get on a very basic level what spots are quiet and what spots are dangerous (even though i sometimes am a bit confused when it comes to where to land when the battle bus doesn't go near where i plan to drop), however when it comes to the little interactions in the game i am still not sure about what to do which causes me to have a bit of inconsistent gameplay

Builds/Edits - 1/10, by far my worst skill overall, i know how to get into builds and edits, i know how blueprint edits work, i know how to do basic builds such as a box with a ramp and stairs when i wanna go up a mountain, but when it comes to the more complex stuff like tunnels, piece control, free build, double/triple edits? i am lost, overall very confused when it comes to the more complex side of building, could i play zero build? yeah, do i want? not really, at least not all of the time.

Overall i have around 1.5-2 hours that i want to dedicate toward improving at fortnite, again i dont plan to go pro but i would appreciate if someone could recommend me a good practice routine for that time frame that i could use to slowly improve at the game, my end goal is to when i decide to play ranked, i can achieve a good rank that i can be proud of.

will appriciate any comment and advice given, have a rest of a good day/night

My loadout has always been the same throughout the years. Shotgun, SMG, AR, Shields or some kind of meme weapon of that current season and meds. In that order.

Well, yesterday I was looking at a video of some guy playing, and he was popping off big time with only a shotgun, AR and hella movement stuff. It got me thinking maybe there are improvements to be made with what i carry around.

How are your bars looking?

Like if I purchase the battle pass will the reward points be affected if I play zero build than battle Royale

I play on phone (pretty decent) I have no lag issue but it takes so long to me to build how do I improve with that

I notice my aim is quite consistent but whenever I miss a shot, whether it be while aim training or while in game I'm just barely missing it because I'm not micro adjusting. Any aim training exercises that really help with micro adjustments? I do static 180, micro shot(precision) and grid shot(precision) but I'm not sure if those are enough.

Anyone down to play zb duos? At champ trying to reach unr, preferably someone in similar rank.

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.

I have replays on but whenever I go into the replays tab they don't show up. Can someone help as not being able to vod review would really screw me tf over.

How can I get better at the game I’m ps5 player I want to be better on the game. I have been playing since chapter one season 2 and took few breaks here and there

I have some experience but not alot, I play on pc with controller and I want to learn claw, my binds at the moment is triangle edit, circle is pickaxe, L3 switch mode, R3 jump and R2 as select. somthing I see alot is that when I free build and is going to edit for example double edit I place a wall alot by accident or I can't edit the cone. Anyone got any advice or tips for improvement?

I used to use touchpad as edit but I wanted to try somthing new.

What do you do to start a fight

I’m decent at late game and early game but when I’m engaging in a fight in mid game I’m not really sure what to do and always end up choking

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

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 :)

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?

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

I'm not that new but I'm still a bit bad and I see room for improvement I just don't know what to improve. can anyone give me some tips on what I should dedicate most of my time to when playing Fortnite

Recently switched my binds and im able to hit my cone bind effectively but im not able to do it consistently rn. So i was wondering if theres anything i can do to specifically practice my coning in fights because its not my binds its just im not used to it and i really do not want to switch binds because these r very optimal its just my brain

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.

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).

Just started playing again after about 2 years ,and I’m wondering what is this lazer people keep pointing at me when we battle, and what does it do i keep dying to it.
