One thing to think about not just for this season but all seasons is how long you can play before you get tired and start playing badly. Diminishing returns on your game play is something to think about. Take the time of one match and then think about how many you can play before you reach that point. You can take a break and return later or the next day.
Yeah i used to shake when getting down to top 3. Then i started just running towards fights and now i dont get nervous at all. I tend to only start paying attention when i get down to top 10
Your tips have been super useful since chapter 3 season 3 when I found your channel. I think that I’ve become a rather good player and I am rather strategic with my plays the main reason I die is just from stupid choices in endgame or me choking a pump shot. Anyway thanks for the advice as it’s gotten me a lot better. Also I’ve started playing the pit for a few minutes before I start playing to watch up my shotgun aim, I’m only a zero build player but I’m decent at building and any zero build ffa maps I find are always dead games.
You can rotate the island using launch pads. It's risky ik BUT them pads help me reset lots of fights on the island, a lot of people think players use the pads to escape the island so when they hear you lauch off it they let their guard down or they try tracking you in the sky. Just glide onto the roof and clip em eazzy. GG
I always learn something from your videos. In your past video you mentioned keeping your finger on the trigger while swapping. Everyone else probably already did this-but this info was new to me. Mechanically, when you do this, do you hold the trigger with your middle finger while swapping with your index finger? Any tips from anyone?
I think another good tip would be to, when possible, try to get head shots. I've been using a lot of your suggestions the past year and it's really helped. I've really tried to focus on getting tags in the head with any weapon and that seems to really melt people quick
Been listening to your tip for quite some time since I started playing fortnite again and its definitely helped me get back to a good pace. This is my current load out and it's been getting me to the top 3, 95% of the time 1st weapon: a precision weapon, either the lever gun or the thermal dmr i'll gladly trade my dmr for the explosive repeater 2nd weapon: a spray weapon, Mk Alpha, Flapjack or mythic Flapjack, mythic Havok. *Note the pistol is kinda viable but you need to nail your shot consistently at range or else you'll lose to an exchange. If you get Mythic munition perk or the trackers armory you can rock that combo just keep your distance from the shot guns. The combat smg is good as well if you can empty a mag at close range provided you don't get killed first y the Havok or the saw tooth 3rd weapon: shot gun, drum shot, heisted maven, heisted heavy shotgun, Havok pump or the Saw tooth Then leave the last 2 slot for utility, I know its kinda generic but for my playstyle I like to keep my distance and whittle them down before finishing them off. I've had some good success with this load out even if it a bit redundant
One thing I've noticed about playing around right shoulder Peak is the even when there isn't cover, when my opponent is strafing to his right my left my own body blocks my view of my opponent so really have to practice aiming to the left
My reticle MOVES and JUMPS around wayyyy too much. Sometimes I can get a smooth controlled volley on target but for the most part it just feels like a total mess for me. Im on Xbox controller, PC. I just cant seem to steady my reticle on target.
I feel the same I have used different settings, expo vs liner, and I cant figure it out, like how he jumps and hits the perfect head shot...so jealous I'm on ps5, aimcontroller
@@GutsZB I just refuse to use a Cronus or hack is all. Everyone else is. At least thats how I feel. I been playing shooters for YEARS. Recoil is a game mechanic and is supposed to be dealt with, not subverted.
@@jtaylor1985 Jake doesnt cheat but MANY others do. It started with the OG cheaters then everyone wanted to be like them too so they started to cheat after realizing that they couldnt replicate the gameplay. So they cheat too, or at least most of them do. Look at the world today, the dishonesty, the looting, hurting, killing, lying.... cheating in a game is childs play to these people. Its the same people. And the pink, green, blue colored hair freaks at Epic Games dont care because they go home and use the same if not better hacks themselves.
Definitely not comfortable fighting, despite having the game sense for it. I also have difficulty switching weapons from mid to short range when getting pushed, even though I have a shotty/Mk/flap loadie. Appreciate the link to creative maps, will help my right shoulder peek significantly. Edit 1: Watched the linked video and wanted to know if you knew of any more ZB practice maps, or if the player count for those is still next to nothing. Thanks man.
Thanks for the video, your tips are really good to improve. Did you ever make a video about recruiting NPC ? If not, could you make one and tell us what is your opinion about them or the one that could be usefull ? Thanks.
Is there anything like the Battle Lab anymore? I used to use the Battle Lab to familiarize myself with the terrain and stuff like practice with shockwave grenades etc.
There is. You have to create your own battle royale island in creative. It takes a little getting used to setting it up though. BIG note: on controller, you have to press the option button and go to the bottom to ready up. You can have it as the live island or put special loot in it. You can have it with or without bots... if you take it with bots, be prepared that they actually hit and can do damage 😂. But yeah you can create it to be like battlelab
Hello Evolve Jake . I have a question to ask. If you.would like to answer it . Do you play fortnite on keyboard and mouse because i doubt it that u r not playing it on elite series controller.
10:19 The issue though on that for me is that my teammates often tell me: "LEAVE THIS KILL ON ME!", and they will say "YOU STOLE MY KILL!" if I assist him and get the kill... (Every kid that I play with be like 😂)
Know when to turn off the game too 😂 yesterday I was killing it, hop on some ranked today and I’m just getting shit on. Accept when it’s a shitty day to play and hop on something else.
i wanna see how do with good graphics on, not performance mode. The visual advantage of performance mode this season seems way high especially in the jungle.
@@Blue-jn1ph Performance mode seems like a huge advantage lol. I miss it ;-;. I'm relegated to using xbox cloud gaming which is surprisingly good! But the lack of performance mode option is rough with this new biome. Performance mode really improves visibility way too much. It's a totally different game.
Sorry to ask, but does anyone know of a zero build creative map that is somewhat alive? I've been looking for one but so far every single one has been dead
red vs blue is probably the most populated zero build map the code is 6207-0778-2857. I think the player quality is significantly worse than some of the other zero build maps like the anvil square deathmatch but it seems very few zero build fighting maps are able to keep a playerbase unfortunately
I know this guy is like a 1%er, and he is very helpful, thx for the tips btw. But watching footage of somebody on pad is genuinely disgusting, the amount of aim assist in this game is broken and nobody is willing to admit it.
But if everyone has the same level of aim assist, I don’t see how it’s an advantage or disadvantage. Controller players are matched with controller players.
Your tips have gotten my kd from less than 1.0 up to 3.5 (just from ch4 s1 until now!) Thanks Jake 🎉 you’re so underrated as a creator
W
Same here. I would not even know about the shotgun smg combo if I did not see ur videos
Jakes the goat man been watching since chapter 3 season 2 and nothing but improvements for me. Every season I surpass the previous
How do you check kd?
50% of the time, I win 50/50 fights every time.
Probably.
Sounds about right 😂

My biggest mistake is I don't take advantage of cover enough. When I get in a fight, I tend to stand in the open and slug it out with my opponent.
No bullshit let’s see who got first shot accuracy fuck running ! 😂😂😂

8:39 probably is because I’m not native but! Right shoulder peek means you have to place your character in the LEFT side of the cover. 😁
I went from hiding and playing storm to actively hunting for double digits consistently! Thanks Jake!

Mechanically, when you do this, do you hold the trigger with your middle finger while swapping with your index finger?

I use my index fingers only but I’ve wondered this as well. I go tap tap hold tap R2 R1 R2 L1.

1st weapon: a precision weapon, either the lever gun or the thermal dmr i'll gladly trade my dmr for the explosive repeater

Then leave the last 2 slot for utility, I know its kinda generic but for my playstyle I like to keep my distance and whittle them down before finishing them off. I've had some good success with this load out even if it a bit redundant
Congrats on the channel growth! Well deserved.
More than deserved 💜
I need to get better at when people shot me first and control the fight. Hard to turn around or find cover sometimes and fight back and control it
One thing I've noticed about playing around right shoulder Peak is the even when there isn't cover, when my opponent is strafing to his right my left my own body blocks my view of my opponent so really have to practice aiming to the left
Thanks Dude! I’m the king at coming in 2nd. I tend to panic when there’s only 1 player left.
relatable..I tell my gf I'm #1 at coming in 2nd place
My biggest struggle is not instantly dying to the Repeater + Pump combo to sneaky players. It also feels like I'm dead without it.
I love the repeaters🤣🔥
Yeah I feel that . But if they don’t put in stuff like repeaters or hammers once in awhile, millions of talent-less kids won’t be able to win

Jake I have a question between the port a bunker and the shockwaves which should you use
I prefer shockwaves for pubs but its up to you
Underrated as heck. 🔥🔥
Yeah dude it be killin me when teammates run from an advantageous spot with lots of cover to fight a whole squad at point blank
Definitely not comfortable fighting, despite having the game sense for it. I also have difficulty switching weapons from mid to short range when getting pushed, even though I have a shotty/Mk/flap loadie.

Wish I had just half of your skills. I get stuck in gold and my greatest weakness is close fights.
I love sitting back and watching your vids. Always every single time you help me and teach me more and more bro. Thank you foreal
That super old clip was great to watch! Fun to see how you've improved over the years
You can find the nia npc south of Steamy springs and you can get a purple explosive rifle for 250
Finally we are talking about how useless the island is this season
What are the codes for creative maps you put up.
Great video. I’m getting calmer during fights, aim getting better. Jumping into ranked matches a little more confident now
watched this and caught my most confident solo dub, thanks g
Thanks for the video, your tips are really good to improve.
Did you ever make a video about recruiting NPC ? If not, could you make one and tell us what is your opinion about them or the one that could be usefull ?

i usually dont get them but the scout or healer ones can be insane
thank you for this! currently almost plat because of your tips
been watching your videos for a couple weeks, but i got alotttt better watching your last three. appreciate you homie

There is a Battle Lab this season, as well as several version of 99 Bots maps
island code is 0315-1535-2004

Thank you!
Great tips, once again!❤
Thank you. Great tips as always
My biggest mistake - I often forget to move while in a close-range fight :(
3 weeks of continuously coming second is starting to wear thin. My issue is I panic and don't think my endgame through.
What do you do if you don't get the load out that you have in these clips?

Hello jake great video thanks :) I don’t play much 0 builds but still fun to watch
Hello Evolve Jake . I have a question to ask. If you.would like to answer it . Do you play fortnite on keyboard and mouse because i doubt it that u r not playing it on elite series controller.
I play on a PS5 aim controller.
These are well thought out and articulated. Thank you 👊
50/50 drum fights ! Think of you Every time I lose one

(Every kid that I play with be like 😂)
There is no such thing as a kill steal . Stop playing with people
Like that. Tell them to play solo if they want to care about stats such as k/d.
@@GoosePlaysFN You are absolutely right.
I understand taking cover n moving around but when u get killed every time threw walls n rocks etc it gets a bit annoying when u know its not possible
