It's no secret that Fortnite is where true competitors flock to take each other on. With Chapter 2 in full swing, now is a better time than ever to brush up on your helpful tips. Here's what our top-tier friends around the web recommend.

ADJUST YOUR CONTROLLER LAYOUT

When playing on console, making sure you adjust your in-game controller settings is key. ALI-A recommends switching your layout to the Combat Pro configuration to make combat feel a little more natural and building more intuitive. Configure your controller outside the game with some Performance Thumbsticks and Performance Grips for the best results.

GET THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE RIGHT JOB

A well-rounded loadout is key for success. RINOCRUNCH says to be prepared for any situation and grab yourself a shotgun for CQC, AR for mid-range, sniper rifle for long range engagements and meds for shields for defense.

BE A MASTER ARCHITECT

Whether you need to get to high-ground to grab loot in a Treasure Chest or throw up a makeshift 1x1 fort to protect yourself from unsuspecting enemy fire, CHAOSXSILENCER says you need to learn how to build! If you can build the most basic of structures, your chances of survival go up 10 fold.

WIN THOSE 1v1's

You can get pretty far by avoiding enemies through stealth, but you’ll have to engage other players 1v1 if you want to win. THE GAMER COUPLE notes that jumping when engaging enemies at close-range makes it harder for them to hit you and easier for you to land headshots. To be as precise as possible, we recommend using our CQC Signature Performance Thumsbticks for added height, range of motion and accuracy.

  • - Dual-height sticks for a well-rounded gameplay experience
  • - High-Rise sticks increase range of motion by 120% for easier aiming and decreases resistance to reduce hand fatigue

  • - Mid-rise sticks ease transition from standard thumbsticks with less-drastic height increase
  • - Slight height and surface area increase help improve precision in short-to-mid range combat scenarios

  • - Developed with a combination of advanced materials to give gamers better grip, support and comfort
  • - Grips wick away moisture for a dry, comfortable and cool gaming experience

FARM THE RIGHT MATERIALS

Per DAKOTAZ, you must be well-stocked on building materials. You can’t build without wood, stone and metal. So make sure you take time to farm materials so you can build cover mid-firefight. It’s often the difference between winning and losing.

GET THE HIGH GROUND

You’ll have a tactical advantage over enemies and will make it more challenging for them to get clean shots off on you, says THATDENVERGUY. This is especially helpful in mid-to-long range skirmishes.

BE ACCURATE LONG-RANGE

You must be able to take out enemies from a long distance with a sniper rifle.ITSNICK says to give yourself the biggest aiming advantage possible by using a set of KontrolFreek Performance Thumbsticks. We recommend Battle Royale or Nightfall for sniping!
