Preliminary information

Before going into the details of the main methods related to how to train on Fortnite, I think it may interest you to know more about what are the skills that are generally required to be able to compete at best within the games of this frenetic title.

Well, usually players are required to master the mechanics of aiming, building and modifying properly in order to be able to worry the opponents properly. If in the first case it is an essentially “obvious” aspect, as in all Battle Royale titles it is necessary to achieve a certain familiarity with the aiming system, in the other cases we refer to “exclusive” Fortnite mechanics.

For example, building walls and other elements to defend against opponents is one of the features that helped make the Epic Games title unique. Furthermore, the ability to modify the built elements on the fly allows you to make the action even more frenetic and fun, but obviously, you need to know how to exploit these mechanics properly.

In short, I understand why you want to train within Fortnite in these fields since they are important to be able to achieve the competitive performance of the most skilled users.

Before starting, however, I remind you that the title of Epic Games is constantly evolving, so the developers may decide to make changes at any moment, for me currently unpredictable. In case, however, I will promptly update the post.

How to train on Fortnite PC

After quickly showing you which are the fields in which Fortnite players usually want to train, I would say that it is time to take action and show you how to train in aiming, building and modifying. Below you can find the instructions related to the PC world, in which generally everything “moves” faster and it is, therefore, necessary to make the most of your skills.

How to train aiming on Fortnite PC

One of the most important fields in which to train to be able to “excel” on Fortnite is clearly the aim since being able to quickly target opponents can guarantee an excellent competitive advantage.

On PC the movement is particularly fast, given the “fluidity” guaranteed by the mouse and keyboard. Here you are already getting to the heart since these devices can give you excellent satisfaction. The advice I give you, in fact, is to buy products specifically intended for gaming.

To give you concrete examples, some mice dedicated to video games allow you to set the pointer sensitivity properly, making it much faster or slower than a classic device.

The term you need to pay attention to in this case is PPE. In fact, using a high value in this sense can guarantee you to move the camera and aim quickly, but there are also users who decide to lower this sensitivity to a minimum, in order to be able to perform more precise actions in-game.

Just to give you some concrete indications, two values ​​that you could try in terms of DPI are 400 and 3200, but in any case everyone has their own preferences and it is, therefore, good that you go in search of the most valid settings in relation to your style of play. If you don’t know which product to choose, I recommend that you take a look at my guide to the best gaming mice.

For the rest, another valid advice to improve the aim on PC, valid not only for Fortnite but also for other titles of this type, is to use external tools to train. For example, a quick and easy-to-use tool, given that it can be accessed directly through a browser, is the one offered by the 3D Aim Trainer portal.

The latter, in fact, provides users with various “sessions” in which it is possible to train in terms of aim. Surely it is an interesting method to test your skills on the computer, even if we are faced with a tool external to Fortnite.

In any case, if you want specific advice, you may want to train in the “map” called Bounce Ball, which can put your aiming skills to the test, since in the scenario there are constantly moving and potentially difficult to hit balls.

For the rest, if you want to deepen the topic and also take a look at the settings offered by the game, you can refer to my guide on how to improve the aim on Fortnite for PC, in which I went into more detail on the topic.

How to train building on Fortnite PC

One of Fortnite’s most loved, but also most talked about mechanics is that relating to the possibility of building elements, from walls to ramps, to defend oneself or catch opponents off guard.

You probably already know how this mechanic works, so I will avoid dwelling too much on keys and the like, but I will give you some useful information to train in this regard.

Starting from the resources needed to build constructions within the game, a valid method to obtain more is to use the pickaxe by aiming at the blue circle that appears on the screen when trying to break, for example, a tree. By doing so, you will get the materials in a, particularly short time.

As for the construction itself, however, I advise you to train yourself in implementing the so-called 90-degree technique, perhaps by entering Creative mode, in order to test everything more calmly.

Either way, it’s a method found by skilled players to quickly build a structure that’s difficult to attack and easy to use to disorient enemies. I try to explain everything to you in words, even if it’s not exactly simple.

The first thing to do is build a ramp and place your character on the right or left side of it. After that, you need to place a wall centrally and then place another one on the right or left, choosing where to direct your structure.

Once this is done, you need to jump and place a ramp towards the chosen direction. Great, now you can repeat this process potentially indefinitely, or at least until you run out of materials. You will see that in relatively few seconds a gigantic structure will emerge, difficult to attack from many points of view.

Just be careful not to go too high and try to move sideways from time to time, as your opponent may think about destroying the structure and causing you to fall from a certain height. For the rest, surely the 90-degree technique is a quick method to become familiar with the mechanics of construction.

Speaking of the latter, if you want to deepen the subject I remind you that on these pages you can find my guide on how to build on Fortnite for PC, which contains other information that you might consider interesting.

The edit, or the modification of the built elements, is another factor that you must take into account if you want to improve your performance on Fortnite.

In fact, the most skilled players are able to send opponents “into confusion” by modifying structures in a particularly fast way, for example by creating doors or openings to be able to move quickly between one element and another.

In this case, it can be complex, especially initially, to become familiar with this mechanic, since it requires you to use a certain combination of keys in a short time. The advice I would like to give you is therefore to try and try again to modify the elements, perhaps by entering Creative mode.

For the rest, you may want to change certain key settings or memorize preset patterns to be able to set up structures capable of disorienting enemies in seconds.

To give you a concrete example, you should try using the command sequence Q, left click, G, left click, mouse movement, left click, G and Q . By doing this, by correctly orienting the mouse to select 2 blue squares one above the other, you will create a wall and quickly modify it by inserting a door (you can then open the latter using the E button on the keyboard).

This is certainly a “basic” structure, but I can assure you that starting from here and training in the modification you will be able to improve your edit on Fortnite. In any case, despite the indications relating to the PC world end here, I suggest you proceed with reading the guide, as even in the chapter dedicated to the consoles you may find useful details (among other things, it is potentially possible to use the controller also on PC ).

How to train on Fortnite PS4

How do you say? Do you usually play Fortnite from PlayStation 4 ? No problem: in this part of the tutorial I will explain how to train from this platform. I will use PS4 as a practical example to give you the advice, but in reality the indications I will give you will also apply to the other consoles.

This means that if you are wondering, for example, how to train on Fortnite for Xbox One, this part of the guide is the one for you too. Obviously, you don’t have to “throw away” the advice I gave you in the PC chapter since some of them are also valid for the console version of the game, but below you can find specific indications for this platform.

How to train aiming on Fortnite PS4

Just like on PC, even in the console version of Fortnite it is important to train for what concerns the aim.

In this case, I remind you that it is possible to improve simply by connecting the mouse and keyboard to the console. However, I understand that this is not a suitable method for everyone, as many people in this world want to use the controller as an input method.

In this regard, you may be interested in modifying the options regarding the sensitivity of the controller, in order to be able to find the settings that best suit your style of play. To deepen the matter, I invite you to consult my tutorial on how to improve the aim on Fortnite PS4.

In any case, here I think it is interesting to deepen a possibility provided directly by the community. The latter usually “find solutions” on its own and, in fact, even in the case of aiming, it is precisely a realization of the users that can help you.

In particular, the players have created islands that allow you to train in aiming. In particular, I suggest you take a look at the map created by the user GEERZY. Using the link I just provided you, you can find the directions and code to access this feature, which in other words is a sort of “course” to learn how to aim properly on Fortnite.

Generally, to enter the code just try to start a game in Creative mode, select the ISLAND CODE box, type the code and press the LAUNCH key.

How to train building on Fortnite PS4

As for the PlayStation 4, a simplification from the point of view of construction can come by choosing a precise preset related to the control scheme of the controller.

In fact, by going to the settings it is possible to select the preset called Fast constructor, which as the name suggests is designed to allow the user to create the structures more quickly.

For the rest, the 90 degrees technique, which I illustrated in the chapter dedicated to the PC, is obviously still valid. You may also be interested in taking a look at my tutorial on how to build on Fortnite PS4, in which I have explored the subject.

As for the training itself, in addition to trying to take advantage of the 90 degrees technique in Creative mode, a good method is represented by the use of maps created by the community designed to practice in terms of construction.

To give you a concrete example, the island made by the user DONWOZI_BTW, called The Building Center, can allow you to test your skills in terms of construction, allowing you to train at your best.

The change is one of the mechanics that requires more training within Fortnite. In fact, to be able to improve your performance you have to try and try again several times.

A good piece of advice I can give you is to train yourself to quickly build a wall and modify it by creating a door. It seems a simple action, but just learning how to perform it quickly, perhaps in Creative mode, will allow you to become familiar with the system.

To do this, the sequence of buttons to be used is O, R2, O (hold for a few seconds), R2, movement of the ‘ right analog, R2, O and O . Finally, to open the door, just press the square button on the controller.

If you want to deepen the subject, I suggest you take a look at my guide on how to quickly edit on Fortnite, in which you could find several intriguing ideas for your gaming sessions.

In conclusion of the tutorial, I would like to advise you to take a look at the island created by the XTEAW user. In fact, the latter contains a bit of everything you need to train on Fortnite. More precisely, it is a sort of “course” to improve precisely in terms of aiming, construction and modification.

In short, it is a perfect way to try to put into practice the directions illustrated in this tutorial. For the rest, I remind you that on the page of my site dedicated to Fortnite you can find many other guides that may interest you.
