Find the right spot to land

Find the perfect spot to land: The closer a location to the Battle Bus’s flight path, the more popular it is with other players. Also, avoid large towns like Retail Row, Tilted Towers, Pleasant Park and Paradise Palms. They contain lots of loot, but they’re also very popular with players all battling out for the same loot.

Get the best loot. Hunt for chests.

Get the best loot: The first thing you want to do once you land is loot up. You'll need at least one weapon - preferably several - to defend yourself from nearby enemies. Try to land on the roof of a house or building and search the house from top-to-bottom. Look for legendary loot!

Hunt for chests: Keep an eye and ear out for chests to open, because these will always contain a weapon. When you’re near a chest, you will get an audio cue, like an angelic humming. This will tell you exactly where the chest is hidden. There are hundreds of chest locations scattered across the map, though be aware that chests will not always spawn in every one of these locations.

The battle is building

Once you’ve secured weapons, ammo, shields and other items, you should concentrate on building. You’ll need to chop down trees, walls and fences to start to assemble walls to take shelter if someone starts to shoot at you. Building in Fortnite is essential for success, so teach yourself to build the moment you come under fire.

Run from the storm

The Storm is one of the imperative features of Battle Royales, preventing players from camping, forcing them closer together and ending the game within a certain amount of time. Shortly after the Battle Bus has finished its flight path across the map, you’ll start to receive periodic notifications on the Storm’s slow encroachment across the map. You can keep track of where the Storm Circle is in relation to you using the minimap or the full map.
