Fortnite 101

  • Fortnite is a third-person shooter game with multiple Game Modes; Fortnite Battle Royale, Fortnite: Save the World, Fortnite Creative, Lego Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. 
    • Within Fortnite Creative, players using Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) are given complete freedom to spawn any item from other game modes on a personal island and can create games such as battle arenas, box fights, race courses, platforming challenges, and more.
  • Box Fight is a fast-paced game mode within the game Fortnite where players try to eliminate each other in a limited space. 
  • Barriers initially separate the players so they can build defenses before the game starts. 
  • Players can try to gain an advantage by establishing edit control and pushing toward their opponent by placing builds between them. 
  • This can give the player offensive and defensive options, and squeeze their opponent into a cramped position, making them easier to chase.

Mechanics

Here are some basic strategies for Box Fight to get started with:

  • Start with a shotgun
    • Begin the fight with a shotgun hit, then switch to a weapon with a faster rate of fire as you move around your opponent.
  • Strafe and fire
    • Keep firing as you strafe to apply pressure and make it harder for your opponent to focus their shots.
  • Use high ground
    • Get the high ground and use it to your advantage.
  • Create two boxes
    • When your opponent is boxed in, try to make them nervous by constantly boxing them. Then, shove a wall in between the two boxes
