Top 1 Fortnite boosts self-esteem and is rewarded with unique in-game items. Anyone who has played another Battle Royale, Battlegrounds Players Unknown, has every chance of becoming a Fortnite pro. Beginners can also achieve leadership positions if they practice enough.
How to get to the top of the best Fortnite players
To become a pro-player in Fortnight, you need to think over the moves (your own and your opponents’) in advance and practice a lot. Beginners should take note of a few tips for the game: where is it better to land, what to do at the beginning of the game and in the late game, how to build buildings, etc.
Drop off location
Each battle begins with a squad of players landing on an uninhabited island littered with loot chests.
The initial task is to find some kind of trunk, avoiding encounters with rivals if possible.
To do this, you need to find the correct drop-off point.
The choice of the landing site depends on the strategy of the game.
List of Fornite locations and their features:
- Arrival Beach (Believer Beach). In Fornite Season 17, this location replaced Giddy Shore. There is a lot of loot on the beach and other players who are also willing to profit.
- Corny Complex. Wooden buildings prevail. The amount of loot is average.
- OP bases, or Radars: next to the green steel bridge; in the mountains in the south of an uninhabited island; near the radio station; on the southwest coast, near the Nectar Valley; in the Secret Stronghold; in the west of the island, near the ruined fortress. Each location has guards and a lot of loot.
- Earing Colosseum (Colossal Crops). There is an arena for battles, an ancient village with workshops, corn fields, a Banana statue with an animal skull on its head. Stone buildings prevail, there is enough loot for a few people, but not for squads.
- Wild Village (Boney Burbs). In the 16th season, the developers changed the Abandoned Towers, now they are a primeval settlement. The clock tower and the multi-storey building have retained their location. Players will recognize them immediately after disembarkation. There is a lot of loot in the huts, there is a revival van.
- Robocota Cafe (Kit’s Cantina). The local eatery looks like a cafe from the Star Wars movies. At the time of adding the location to the map, the Mandalorian lived in the restaurant, who made a place for himself, placing Stormtrooper helmets around the peaks.
- Tower (The Spire). The location is located in the very center of the map. At the bottom there are houses with a lot of loot, a spawn van. At the location, players meet with a boss, upon killing which a prehistoric shotgun of mythical quality falls out.
The list of locations is not exhaustive. Fortnite is constantly updated.
Some places change, others disappear, and new ones appear to replace them.
Battle strategy
To become the best, players think through strategy and act tactically.
Top All-In-One Fortnight Survival Tips:
- Decrease mouse sensitivity for better control. Basic settings do not allow for quick aiming.
- Always bend down and don’t sprint unnecessarily. The sprinting character leaves a dust path along which enemies can track their location.
- Shoot suspicious bushes in sight. One of the tactics in early Battle Royale was to crouch in the bushes so that enemies would just pass by. Many players continue to use this.
- Inventory should always contain a first aid kit, a can of armor, melee weapons, and something effective at medium range. The last slot is optional. You can take an additional shotgun, portable fort, sniper rifle, etc.
- Do not use ready-made routes when you need to climb to a height. It is better to build a temporary structure and attack enemies in open places, rather than go straight into a trap (both those who are already at the height and those who are just going to climb there look closely at the ready-made routes).
- Use the loot of killed rivals as bait. No need to immediately pick up the equipment and weapons of the enemy. A few items should be left as bait for nearby players.
- At the end of the game, choose a high position. From the roof of a building or the top of a nearby mountain, you can see where opponents can attack. And to be one step ahead, you need to have tactical information.
- Use stairs if you need to cross an open area. If there is a suspicion that the enemy is close, you can sometimes place building blocks as you move and watch if bullets begin to stack up nearby. Ladders will serve as cover, and you can also run on them in random order, jump from ledges to confuse opponents.
- Set traps on crowded landing sites. You can place them behind you, preferably in a narrow place through which players will pass. The sound of thorns will signal that it’s time to end loot.
- Build to avoid falling. If you need to jump off a steep slope, it is worth placing wooden panels under your feet. This will save HP (health points).
Building
It’s easy for shooter fans to learn how to play Fortnite. But when there are several players left on the map, the strategy changes. At the final stage, reflexes will play into the hands, the ability to quickly and accurately aim, the ability to build fortresses in a matter of seconds.
Brief construction guide:
- Collect resources on the go. If there is no enemy nearby, it is worth picking up a pickaxe and destroying everything in its path (the easiest goal is furniture inside buildings). During the destruction of objects, you need to aim at the orange zones – these are areas of increased damage. If you have enough time, you can harvest wood. But you do not need to completely destroy the trees – this will give the enemies a clue about the location of the player. Better to chop them in a chaotic manner, constantly move from side to side and jump.
- Reassign construction buttons for priority and convenience. You need to move between blocks for construction as quickly as between weapons.
- Learn to build a base fort to explore the surroundings: put up four walls and jump to set a floor or a ladder under your feet, and then climb higher and higher. Such a structure will allow you to look out and shoot, and will provide security from all sides.
- Making fires in order to heal (you can even right during observation). Bonfires can even heal from under the stairs, so one can be placed to keep watching and regenerating health at the same time.
- Edit buildings, if necessary. In the heat of building battles, Fortnite spawns endless towers or square forts with walls on top of other walls. Such fortresses can be edited: for example, remove one block from the wall to quickly shoot at an unsuspecting enemy; make a back door to quickly escape; destroy part of the floor to jump onto the enemy, or remove the block underneath. You cannot edit someone else’s structures.
- Use editing tools to look through your buildings. The walls will return to their normal state upon exiting the mode until the player saves the changes.
- Destroy only the first timber to break the entire structure. But do not break the floor on which the chest lies – this will lead to its complete destruction.
Who to play with
All of the above tips work for both solo and duo or group play. If your friends aren’t playing Fortnite yet, you can find someone on the official Fortnite servers on Discord.
Late game
The better the player knows how to choose a landing site, the more accurately he shoots and the faster he builds, the more often he will survive until the later stages of the game. In the late, the safe zone is small, and the opponents already have good loot, so it’s not worth going to ram. To become Top-1, it is worth choosing the right places on the map.
It is best to climb on a hill with a good view of the area.
Having started a shootout with one enemy, you need to monitor the situation around so as not to be caught off guard.
Ranking of the strongest Fortnite players
The strongest players in the world also sometimes fly out early or miss bullets foolishly. But this does not always prevent them from occupying the top 1 in tournaments.
Bugha
Kyle Giersdorf (Bugha) won the 2019 Fortnite World Cup singles tournament and returned home with $ 3 million in bank account. He didn’t stop there, continuing to win the NCS qualifiers.
Tfue
Turner Tenney has been playing Fortnight since 2017 and has competed with popular teams such as the FaZe Clan. Tfue is now one of the most popular streamers on the Twich platform.
Aqua
David Aqua Wang (Aqua) is not always mentioned in discussions of the best Fortnight players, but is the winner of the World Cup duo (along with Nyhrox). This was not the only victory – Aqua also took first place in the EC X FNCS.
Nyhrox
Emil Bergqvist is not as popular as his championship partner. But Nyhrox deserves attention for at least an excellent performance in doubles.
Benjyfishy
Benjy David Fish (BenjyFishy), 17, can play any role in the team and does well in solo competition. He has few victories, but Benjyfishy is still a high-level professional.
Dubs
Danny Walsh showed a good game in the doubles championship (his teammate is Megga). The duo finished the championship in 7th place, receiving $ 375,000 for two. Dubs also does well in team and solo play. He can often be seen in the top 3 best players in international competitions.
Clix
Cody Conrod of the Misfits Gaming qualified for the World Cup singles and doubles. He managed to earn over $ 100K and hit the top 8 in Fortnite.
Mongraal
The pro player became popular overnight when he won the European Lux Cup. Mongraal has already entered the top of the European professional scene.
UnknownxArmy
Dominick Green (UnknownxArmy) actively participates in tournaments as part of teams.
So far, this is one of the most underrated pros in Fortnite.
