gameplay
In Fortnite: Battle Royale we have to be the last survivor out of a total of 100 playerswho come together on a big island. To facilitate the encounter between players, there is an element known as the storm, a kind of cloud of poison in the shape of a circle that gradually covers the entire island, draining life force from those trapped inside.
To find out where the storm is headed, all we have to do is take a look at the minimap. If we don’t see a white line, then we’re at that point, meaning the storm isn’t going to pass where we are right now.
The minimap shows us that we are a little far from the point
If we see a line, we have to go to it. When we touch the minimap we see the full map and we can observe the actual distance between us and the point.
The map shows the actual distance to the storm.
Since we have to survive 99 opponents, we have to be very careful when attacking anyone. Even the most competitive players avoid the action unless they have a clear advantage. The reason for this is simple: if we follow a player, there is a high probability that another player will appear and attack us, making the game difficult for us.
Another tip to remember is to always try to gain altitude. Players who are in a higher position have an advantage over those who are in a lower position. It doesn’t mean we’re going up the mountain, but it does mean we’re trying to get into a high position before attacking.
And finally, if we are shot at, we must be quick, by building a wall or cube for cover and start healing. If we don’t, we could be eliminated before we even see our opponent’s face.
