TABLE OF CONTENTS
SECTION 1
OVERVIEW OF FORTNIGHT: BATTLE ROYALE
Y ou and 99 other soldiers are about to find yourselves forced off an aircraft (known as the Battle Bus). Its flying safely over a large island, but unfortunately your destiny lies on the dangerous land below.
Fortnite is really two exciting games in one. Youre about to discover awesome strategies for Fortnite: Battle Royale, which has become an extremely popular game amongst PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac gamers.
For gamers who prefer their action on-the-go, Epic Games has released an iOS (iPhone/iPad) version of Fortnite: Battle Royale, and an Android mobile device version is expected by mid-2018. The mobile versions are compatible with the PC, Mac, PS4, and Xbox One versions of the game. As a result, you can play on your iPhone, iPad, or Android smartphone or tablet, either with or against players who are experiencing the game on other gaming systems.
Youll be forced to free fall partway to the ground, then use your Glider (parachute) to help you land safely. Your first important decision in this 100 PvP (Player Versus Player) game is to determine the best and safest place to land. As youre falling, and once you deploy the Glider, you have steering capabilities using your controller, keyboard, or touchscreen, so use them wisely.
Once youre safely on the ground and armed only with a empty backpack, a map, and a Pickaxe, its essential that you search for and grab weapons and ammunition quickly, explore your surroundings, and gather whatever tools and resources (known as loot) you can find. Youre now smack in the middle of a survival mission. If you dont outlive all 99 of the other often heavily armed soldiers on the island, one of them will terminate you!
Only one person out of the 100 will leave the island alive. Everyone else will perish in battle or become a casualty of the deadly storm thats currently brewing.
This is no ordinary storm, however. Once it approaches the islandjust minutes after your own arrivalit begins making portions of the islands land uninhabitable. In other words, if you dont avoid the storm and the areas of the island that its taken over, first youll find yourself getting weaker and weaker, and eventually itll destroy you.
When the air around you turns blueish-purple, and the map displayed in the top-right corner of the screen is also covered with a purple hue, youre stuck in the deadly storm.
The ultimate goal in Battle Royale is survival, not to defeat lots of enemies. You could successfully defeat 98 adversaries, then get defeated by the 99th, which means you lose. Your goal is to become the sole survivor. Theres no second place!
Throughout each battle, use the map to help you figure out where you are, where you need to be, and how to best avoid the deadly storm.
Use the weapons, tools, ammunition, and resources (as well as other types of loot) you discover on the island to defend yourself and defeat your enemies before theyre able to annihilate you.
Fortnite: Battle Royale is no ordinary massively multiplayer, online-based shooting game. To succeed, youll need to gather resources: wood, stone, and metal. Use the Pickaxe to smash an abandoned truck, for example, to collect metal.
Use the resources you gather from trees, rock formations, buildings, abandoned vehicles, and other objects you come across to build fortresses and your own structures that can protect you and give you an advantage when going on the offense against others.
Accomplishing Several Important Tasks Is Required
Welcome to Fortnite: Battle Royale, where to survive and be the last person standing, you must simultaneously and successfully handle a variety of tasks, including:
Searching for and gathering resources, weapons, ammunition, tools, and other loot.
Potentially fighting anyone and everyone you come into contact with. Defeat them before they end you. Knowing which weapon(s) and tools to use, and when, are key survival skills.
Safely exploring pre-existing buildings, houses, structures, mountains, valleys, mines, junkyards, factories, forests, graveyards, and other terrain.
Building your own fortresses and structures for protection, that might include traps for your enemies. Creating ramps and structures can also help you get to locations that cant easily be reached in other ways.
