Jul 31, 2018 - On top of all this, we've put together a handful of essential tips and tricks to getting a one-up over the competition on Fortnite Mobile so you can. Fortnite Tips & Tricks for Competing on Mobile By Collin MacGregor 15 Jan 2019 5 Battle royale sensation Fortnite has parachuted onto mobile in all its glory, and its completely conquered both iOS and Android.
Battle royale sensation Fortnite has parachuted onto mobile in all its glory, and its completely conquered both iOS and Android. The fact that this is the same game, pretty much feature-for-feature, on a phone is mind-boggling. Building is especially important on mobile, Whether you’re a victory royale veteran, or someone discovering Fortnite for the first time, playing on mobile is quite the unique experience. The smaller screen, reduced visuals and bespoke touch controls totally change the way you must play what is essentially a third-person shooter, and one that can get pretty intense.
If only someone could provide you with some essential Fortnite tips & tricks to help you to stay competitive on your mobile. Controls refresher Limit your long-distance fighting This partly comes down to the current Fortnite meta across all platforms, but more so on mobile you shouldn’t really look to be fighting at range. Even on PC/console it isn’t ideal with the power of shotguns, poor accuracy of auto rifles, and the ease of movement. Playing on another platform you probably have at least 18 inches of screen to look at, with all those high-quality pixels allowing you to spot every bit of movement. On mobile that real-estate could shrink to something like 4 inches with an iPhone SE.
That movement becomes much more difficult to spot, meaning keeping track of opponents at a distance is near impossible. The touch controls also make it much harder to hit long distance shots without a scope. This doesn’t mean you should avoid them like the plague.
Instead, prioritize SMGs, LMGs, explosives, and shotguns over precision death dealers - especially when you are just landing. If you do want to use a rifle, make sure to crouch and use the aim zoom to improve your accuracy. For those determined to fight at long range, the Heavy Assault Rifle is quite potent. Since it's single shot, you'll have an easier time controlling the recoil.
Plus, the gun is insanely accurate at a distance so you can severely weaken or kill foes from relative safety. Always Carry Explosives There are a lot of things that go boom in Fortnite and they are quite deadly on mobile. While console players can swiftly react to a grenade being thrown, mobile users are a little slower to act.
Use this to your advantage and reign fiery death upon your opponents. Dynamite is especially good for taking down foes and the new Boombox is stupidly powerful strong against structures. Given how easy it is to aim and lob grenades at foes, this is a great way to start an engagement. Unless they are very fast at building, there's a good chance you'll have time to swap to a weapon and kill them. You want to leave your foe disorientated and a few sticks of dynamite easily accomplish this task. However, if you're lucky enough to have the Quad Launcher spawn - take it.
While aiming this weapon might take some getting used to, the sheer amount of damage it causes makes it worth a slot in your tiny inventory. It's very easy to just launch of volley of missiles at your foe to soften them up before going in for the kill. This weapon is also great against vehicles since planes like to strafe foes in a single, easily predictable nosedive. Just remember to aim a bit up since the missiles arc when fired. Be Aggressive If you want to survive longer than a minute, you’ll need to start getting into firefights with other players. Typically, Fortnite ’s building and plethora of ranged weapons allows users to stay back and pick off foes.
However, since aiming on a mobile device is tricky the best option is force enemies to fight on your terms. Get in players faces when the bullets start flying and make them panic as you shoot them. Moving is not nearly as fluid, so you can fluster you foes by destroying their cover and pressuring them with a hail of bullets. Weapons like dynamite, minigun, LMG, and even basic grenades are fantastic for forcing opponents out of position.
Try to use the environment to break line of sight with your foes, especially if you can get the drop on them. Since rotating the camera can be a bit awkward, it’s not as common for someone to check behind them. Use this to your advantage and strike when they don’t have time to react. The new ziplines also make it very easy to reach some of Fortnite's loftiest locations. To use these, just run up to them and jump onto the cable. Your character will instantly be attached and whisked to the other end.
This is a great mobility tool that can let you quickly gain a height advantage before a big fight or sneak up on a foe. Remember, you can shoot from the ziplines, so don't be afraid to fire at someone if they see you. Don't be afraid to build Building is key to success in Fortnite allowing you to travel across terrain quickly, get the drop on opponents and keep you safe when caught out. The touch controls on the mobile version are a little trickier than other versions since you have to move your hand away moving and/or shooting to select your building type, once you get some practice it becomes easier. We have seen so many people on iOS only servers not build anything when they really should, and it almost always results in an early death.
Assembling cover can be tricky at first, so accept that you may die in the early hours while learning the new control scheme. If you’re coming over from PC or console don’t expect to quickly assemble the elaborate structures.
Swapping between materials and parts takes more time, so focus on constructing simple pieces of cover. The basic three walls and a single ramp will offer decent protection and simultaneously give you a height advantage. Traps are also quite potent since navigating your character can be a bit awkward and it’s easy to accidentally stumble into one. We strongly suggest grabbing the Mounted Turret trap if it spawns.
While you are stationary, the Mounted Turret can rapidly destroy forts and kill foes. When setting up a Mounted Turret, make sure to cover your back and sides with a simple wood or brick wall.
The turret really shines in Duos and Squads since one person can apply pressure with the mounted gun while your teammates advance. Always try to have one on you since they are easy to deploy and have very little downsides on mobile. Planes, Planes, Planes Perhaps one of the most controversial additions to Fortnite, planes have become infamous within the community. Their high mobility and large damage output can turn inexperienced players into a force of nature. The main places these planes spawn are the red hangers scattered throughout the map. We suggest going into a Playground game and getting yourself accustomed to these vehicles.
While they are a bit tricky to maneuver, their stopping power is undeniable. Inversely, it's important to learn how to fight against them. Planes can be pretty weak, especially on mobile where evasive maneuvers are unlikely. If one is headed towards you, either build some cover or use the environment to your advantage. Do not engage when it is coming straight at you, instead start firing right as it passes. There are no rear guns so you can deal a lot of damage before the enemy pilot can turn around. Moving Will Be Awkward At First As mentioned above, real estate on your screen is at a premium on mobile, as those big ol’ thumbs will take up a lot of room.
The positioning of your digits usually means you won’t miss too much, but there is always a chance some loot or even an enemy, manages to go undetected thanks to being covered up. There’s also a chance that you’ll accidentally tap the jump or crouch button. Because of this, it’s absolutely vital that you keep your right thumb in the lower corner of the screen. You can still tap the screen and quickly access your weapons without the risk of hitting another icon. Remember, double tapping the virtual joystick used to move around will keep your character running forward until you take back control. This frees up screen space to use for scouting the area, and you can still move around by changing your camera angle to turn. Of course, once a fight breaks out you’ll need to take back control right away: strafing, jumping and climbing all needs extra precision that simple running doesn’t.
There may be visual clues, but still play with sound where possible The most obvious new addition to the mobile version is visual indicators for footsteps, gunshots and chests, as well a direction indicator. It’s a wonderfully clear and obvious addition to the UI, and boy is it useful. Being able to know exactly the direction footsteps are coming from allows you to instantly target whoever is around the corner. It also allows you to plant those traps in places you know they will be.
That doesn’t mean sound isn’t useful though. It can help identify what specific weapon or weapon class is being shot, and other subtler clues that a simple UI tweak can’t provide. Planes are also very loud, so having the sound on can alert you when one is nearby. Obviously don’t be that person with sound coming out of the speakers in public, but in private/with headphones having sound will give an edge.

Fortnite Mobile by Epic Games may seem like child’s play, with its cute animations and awesome graphics. After making a few attempts, I realized that the game requires more than just speed. What I needed was a good battle strategy so that I could win every action and maneuver. So here are a few Fortnite Mobile Cheats, Tips, Tricks Guide on how to win the battle royale: 1. LEARN THE BEST SPOTS TO LAND The map of Fortnite Mobile is vast, with many hidden treasures like lootboxes that will be useful in battle. Keep those places in mind while playing so that you can maneuver towards those areas and pick up some really good weapons and annihilate the enemy.
Also, you have to watch that none of your foes is moving towards these treasure spots. You have to stop them in time so that their team is not better equipped than your team. Here’s a sneak trick – the best location on the map for amazing loot is the forest in the North East.
COLLECT STRONG ALLIES No one can go into battle alone even if you have a lot of ammunition. To develop and sustain a winning streak, you will need patience till you have your own squad of powerful members. Armed with their own weapons and tricks, they will add weight to your existing stockpile. Even if all of them are not equally good at the game, it is better than being outnumbered by the enemies on the battlefield. UNDERSTAND YOUR BATTLEFIELD? When your playfield is slowly reducing in size it obviously means that the fog is advancing much faster than you can cope. Here are some useful cheat and tricks to prevent such situations:.
Keep a sharp watch on the size of the safe zone. Ensure that the timer doesn’t run out. Keep your distance from the buildings and remain in an open area till allies can help you.
If these tricks doesn’t work you need a more aggressive plan. GOOD TEAMWORK MEANS VICTORY! Suppose you are stuck in a shrinking blue zone of the Fortnite Mobile Battle Royale, are you sure your team members will succeed in helping you out? What you need is a walkthrough with your allies on how to deal with a given situation. In short, you need to anticipate certain problems and keep a plan B ready. You and your allies must decide on where to land so that each one of you gets the best resources. The colored pins will show their positions.
This is very crucial in battle, especially when you need to regroup and attack from a different perspective. HOW TO USE THE RESOURCES There is an awesome collection of weapons in the loot spots on the map. Of these, what you and your allies must always have in hand are:. Long range rifle. Sniper rifle for sneak shots. Shield for protection.
Shotgun for close range combat. An assortment of explosives Of these, the item that will give you an edge over your enemy is the shotgun. Keeping a fully loaded shotgun at all times will definitely lead your team to victory. The rifles must also be loaded at all times as they are useful in emergencies. WELL PLANNED DEFENCE Fortnite Mobile has a very interesting and creative tool as well, the crafting tool.

The players can build defenses like watch-towers and walls during battle. Now here’s a cheat trick – the watch-tower may help you to keep an eye on your enemies but it also exposes you to sniper fire. Don’t waste time on complicated crafting. By my experience, the best form of crafted defense is the wall. It will protect your team when you desperately need cover against aggressive maneuvers from the enemy.
This will buy you time to re-plan your own tactics so that you are assured of a victory. Summary The Fortnite Mobile Game can be downloaded from App Store and works equally well on iPhone SE, X, 8, 8Plus, 7, 7Plus. The game doesn’t work to its full potential on iPhone 6 or older models.
