With the best Fortnite tips to win, players might be one step c loser to a Victory Royale, or several.

1 Use Visual Sound Settings

Provides Players With A Visual Radial Indicator To See Enemy Activity

New players might wonder how other players can track them so easily, even when they think they are being stealthy. The answer is to use Visualize Sound Effects. This option makes the game more accessible, and players will now receive directions on the screen for chests, gunfire, and approaching footsteps. This setting is vital for Battle Royale, as it places most competitive players on an even playing field since everyone has this setting enabled.

To do so, players need to head to their settings in-game and select the Audio tab. From here, they want to click the Sound tab, where they can turn Visualize Sound Effects on. This option will provide a visual radial indicator. Now, players will be able to see other players nearby, regardless of whether they have a line of sight.

2 Strategically Third-Party Fights

Engage In Battles With Those Weak From Previous Battles

Fortnite's Battle Royale is an even playing field, where everyone is pitted against each other. For those in solos, or team modes, they will have 99 other competitors to worry about, but that doesn't mean they are responsible for eliminating them all. Sometimes, a more strategic play is essential, and players can watch as two enemies come to blows, and quickly take out the survivor.

Being a third-party in an ongoing fight means that players are more likely to win, since those two enemies will be distracted by each other, and weak from their fight. Players will want to make sure that they are aware of their surroundings as they take the shot that could win them the game, or at least eliminate an already weak opponent from the competition.

3 Carry Support Items

Health And Shield Items Are Important To Surviving Fights

Whilst it's essential to have a good set of guns in Fortnite, it's also essential to have a range of healing items. Players can pick up plenty of variations of Shield potions and Medkits in order to keep their health up. Since players can have 100 Health and 100 Shields, keeping at least one inventory slot free for the latter is a great idea, as a Shield breaking will put the pressure on, for enemies will see that players are weak and down to their final Health bar.

Carrying a few Shield Potions or Small Shield Pots will make sure that when wounded, players can hide, heal up, and get back into the fight, making it so that players who are shooting will remain unaware of just how much Shield players have left. It's also great for recovering from a fight fast, as players won't have to scavenge for more healing, as it's right there beside them.

4 Utilize A Versatile Arsenal Of Weapons

Know The Effectiveness Of Weapons And Their Ranges

Knowing a competent loadout could very well save a player's life. Fortnite has a meta that constantly changes, and weapons old and new are added constantly, along with a few tweaks and nerfs to change things up. Yet, despite how good or how bad some weapons are, there are a few consistencies that players are going to want: a mix of ranges.

Players should always have a weapon for each type of range: long-range for sniping battles, medium-range for assault rifle fights, and short-range for shotgun and small sidearm confrontations. If players have a healthy mix of weapons, then they can switch between what they need in the midst of a fight instead of relying on the wrong tool for the job.

5 Hide To Become The Last Looper Standing

Avoid Hostilities To Become One Of The Final Competitors

If players are not confident in their aim, or their ability to fight 99 other players, then simply outlast them. There's no shame in hiding until the final storm circle closes in, and there's only one Looper left standing. Sometimes, grabbing a few guns and staying on the move to hide in buildings close to the center of the circle is a good idea, as not every winner has to fight their way to victory.

By hiding, players will become one with shadow, allowing them to remain safe and out of the fight until there is no other way forward. Players can rest up, and bide their time, remaining patient as they wait for the opportunity to strike and claim a Victory Royale without the stresses of constant fights.

6 Know When To Retreat

Surviving Is More Important Than Winning A Fight

For players who get themselves into a tough scrap, it's worth knowing that this doesn't have to be the end when the chips are down. Players can choose to retreat and live to fight another day, and there's no shame in that. There are a few ways to easily escape a gunfight. Players can locate a vehicle and drive away, hiding safely within the car as they try and find a safe spot to recover.

Alternatively, there are Shockwave Grenades, which can be used to fling enemies or players further away. It's always a good idea to keep note of just how players can escape a hostile situation, whether it's a sniper battle they cannot win, an overwhelming amount of players honing in on their position, or simply because their health is too low to finish a fight as a victor.

7 Keep An Eye On The Storm

Avoid Death By A Storm That Eats Health

The killer of many might not always be another player, but instead, the dreaded purple storm that encroaches on the island. The storm has killed players of all skill levels since it's unstoppable, and with each storm circle, it grows in power, dealing more damage to Health that cannot be out-healed by Medkits and Bandages.

Players must keep an eye on the storm circle and make sure that they are not going to be chased into a purple demise. Players can watch their map in the top right of their screen, where they can see a timer, indicating when the next storm circle is coming, and what areas of the map it will close off.
