A Lot to Learn
Potions and other items play a big role in Fortnite . Learning how to use them
correctly is an essential part of becoming a successful player. But while they can
give you a big advantage, you simply cant win a match with items alone. You will
also need to master the other parts of Fortnite . You will have to get good at fighting
other players using a variety of different weapons. You will also need to practice
your building skills.
As you get better at fighting, building, and other activities in Fortnite , you will
probably notice that you are also getting better at using items. This is because

of these questions by simply playing the game a long
time. After all, it can be a lot of fun just to experiment

Health and Shields
O
ne of the most important keys to success in
Fortnite is keeping your character healthy and
well-protected. If you take a bunch of damage
during a fight and continue to wander the island while
wounded, you can be defeated very quickly by a sur
prise attack.
Even though this players health bar is mostly
full, she could be defeated quickly because she
doesnt have any shields.
Youll start out each match with 100 health and
zero shields.
When you start playing Fortnite , you will probably
notice the two bars near the center-bottom of your
screen. The bottom bar is green. It starts out at 100
percent in each match. This bar measures your health.
Your health bar shows how close you are to being
defeated. If it reaches zero, you will be knocked
out of a match. Your character can take damage in a
variety of ways. The most common is to be hit with
enemy attacks. Another possible cause of damage is
the ever-growing storm that surrounds the playable
area of a match. If you get caught in the storm, your
character will lose health until you get back into the
safety of the storm eye. You can also damage your
character through your own mistakes. For example,
you will lose health points if you fall from a high place
or if you get caught in an explosion from your own
grenades or rockets.
The bar above your health bar starts out at zero.
As you fill it up, it will turn blue. This bar measures
When your health and shield bars are both at

against a rival player.
Getting caught in the storm will reduce your health

your shields. Your shields will absorb all damage from
enemy attacks until the blue bar reaches zero. So for
example, if you have 25 shield points, your enemies
will have to damage you for 25 points before your
health bar will start dropping. Be careful, though.
While shields are incredibly important, they dont pro
tect all the time. If you take damage from a fall or from
getting caught in the storm, it will skip right past your
shields and cause your health bar to start dropping.
One of the most fun ways to play Fortnite is to
team up with your friends in Duos or Squads. In these
Sharing Is Caring
Teamwork is a key to your success in Fortnite s Duos and Squads. You will not
stand much of a chance if you try to take on enemy teams by yourself and ignore
your teammates. Instead, you should work together, stay close to your teammates,
