hey tobi, iam lars from the netherlands and i saw most of your vidios my user is Vepz Lars iam not the best english speaker but can you please coatch me
"Use failure as a lesson versus an emotional state" hits hard! This chapter I've changed a good bit of my strategy, as mentioned in this video. Used to, I'd hide and wait for opportunities to win the game, versus being aggessive and looking for fights to help me improve. Doing this has helped me win ALOT more games than before.
Im very impressed with this Toby. This is pretty much spot on. It pains me to watch people spend 75% of their game looting just to die and go back to the lobby, and repeat everything again. You're 100% correct that every death is your fault to an extent, once you take accountability and actively make changes you will see the progression. You cannot just wait for everyone else to make mistakes so you can pick up the easy win, you NEED to get better at fighting.... my biggest tip is FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT... its just a video game, nothing is stopping you.
It's not your own fault when you die to a player that is camping at a spot where you can't see them. So the argument about "It's your own fault the way you die" dosn't hold.
It is to a degree, you walked into that building and there may have been hints of someone hiding there, etc. You could have checked corners better, etc. I'm not saying that you can be perfect but if you take accountability you will find ways to improve in the future. If you don't, you won't learn from you mistakes because it "wasn't your fault"
This video makes for great complimentary content to the earlier video where, Toby Wan, you discuss anxiety, etc. My friend & I discussed, early on when we started playing together, how we were using Fortnite to train ourselves to deal with our stressors better and handle real life situations where we tend to feel extremely uncomfortable in situations involving confrontation.
Big agree on this, I literally have forced myself to move away from my "comfort zone" of hitting my favourite drop spots, gearing up and then looking for third party action. I have noticed a big difference. For a frame of reference, I just started playing FN with my son almost a month ago and yy background is mainly Tarkov and other mil-sims hence the initial passive play. I am really loving the "W-key" mentality. Been watching your videos since I started playing last month and I truly appreciate your content. Thanks so much!
This is such good advice Toby. I just recently made this mental shift and it’s a game changer. Being the hunter instead of the hunted makes all the difference in fights. It allows me to stay calm and execute on the things you’ve taught me instead of panicking when I’m thrown into a fight I didn’t expect or choose.
So, Toby, I was bored and couldn't sleep a few nights ago. I got five back to back solo wins, one was ranked. The best gun I had all those times was a purple, and it was an SMG; I don't care for SMGs. I was taking every fight I could and finished with a 20 bomb in my fifth lobby. I've become pretty aggressive and love going into fights, but when I discovered your channel during MEGA I was an anxious freaking MESS at all times. I decided to, as you said in a recent process, let the system doing its thing. That has been the best decision I made of my own accord around November of last year and I've learned a lot simply from watching your gameplay. That said, I will admit there are times I will avoid fights until the end because I know I'm good enough to win. Even when I do, I've become a much better player than I was even this time last year and I attribute a lot of that to your videos and advice. So thank you! I've gone from fearing Fortnite and end game, to now loving the game wholeheartedly.
Game on. I actually had a victory that was an example of how getting comfortable in combat is important. Came down to me and a guy who used passive tatics to amass 4 medallions, he was setting one under a car and sniping people out of the driver seat from a nearby bush. He must've been loaded with Mythics and Legendaries. But when I closed the gap, and applied some juking and right shoulder peeks I've learned from this channel, I beat him with a Green Auto Shotgun against him using Oscar's without him even breaking my shields because he choked. One of my proudest Victories because I saw how important using tatics and getting comfortable is.
After playing and getting eliminated a LOT in my first season of Fortnite (Chapter 5 Season 1), I actually change my focus and actually go in on the chaos and that ended up with me winning 5 Zero Build matches throughout the season and I don't feel bad about losing a lot of the time. I always tell myself that there is another match or another game and I will try and put some effort into playing better. You don't get good on your first match of the day, learning and having fun is MORE IMPORTANT than the victories. If you are not having fun, what hell of a game are you playing? I have learned a very valuable tip for any newcomer like me who wants to know to "git gud" at Zero Build or Battle Royale. If you think winning is your primary goal - nah ah! Your priority is *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY!?* Yeap, WIN THE GAME should NOT be your priority. You know how bad and gutted you feel about getting eliminated by other players, learn what got you into that and change your approach. EVERYONE that isn't you or your team can eliminate you, they are just as hostile as the bosses on the map. You need to make THEM lose and you need to give THEM the worst match and make them feel TERRIBLE! If you're sad from your recent elimination, take a quick breather and get into the clear mindset. If you're mad, do the same thing as you would with being sad and use that agression you built up on THEM. Of course, think about _predator VS prey_ .If you have a low kill count during the match and you decide to stay hidden and focus on loot, you will eventually be maxed out and you'll be forced OUT of hiding by the storm, like a bunch of captured prey who were forced out. If players find you looting without anyone else around, you're telling them that YOU give up and you're a terrible clutz - sending YOU back to the Lobby. Remember, you need THEM to go to the Lobby, NOT YOU! Your goal is to *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY* , not RUIN YOUR DAY. If that happened you in a match, remember the goal I said - *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY!?* Quickly get your loot when you land and start finding THEM. Focus on being the predator, NOT the prey. Every player is your prey that you need to hunt, some are VERY skilled and some are SHY as hell. If you hear a fight nearby, GO THERE! If there's a 50:50, interfere it and END THEIR MATCH. Third partying can be a VERY successful strategy to rack up kill counts. The two that started will have taken some serious damage. If you see a 50:50 that just ended, END THE SURVIVOR. They're weak! Only escape and hide if you took almost match-ending damage. If they're running away, CHASE THEM! Adapt as you go along, a predator will know a few moves ahead - just like chess. Remember, the most important goal for you is *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY!?* If you take every opportunity that is there like a fights, the loot, the bosses, the travel methods, and other important things like the weather towers... you will be as GOOD of a player as the ones that you see dominating the matches. If you lose after all of that, doesn't matter - YOU deserve a pat in the back for the effort. YOU should feel happy, YOU are having FUN! THEM, you just *RUIN THEIR DAY!?* and that is exactly IMPORTANT for EVERY match in Zero Build and Battle Royale, and it feels really rewarding + you get a TON of XP! You can see your match results on its tab the Results Screen regardless of your outcome of either you winning or you getting eliminated. You can even see all of the Accolades you got during the match. You get XP for a lot of your actions including popping a lot of the headdies, even more when you're holding a Victory Crown. You can tell if someone has it literally at the start of the match if they thanked the Battle Bus Driver. Gold text = Victory Crown. You don't need to previously have a victory to get it. When that player gets eliminated, they drop their victory too! If you win with it, it adds a counter to the number of matches won with Victory Crowns which gets resetted every season. You can see that counter if you have the Crowning Achievement Emote. If you don't have that emote, you get given that emote in your first Victory Royale with the Crown. If you get your first ever Victory Royale in Fortnite, you also get a neatly uncommon Umbrella as a Glider. My 1st Victory Royale was a Crown Victory. I was freaking out at that point too. I had about 8 elims at that time which is fine. The reason why I am pointing that out is that Fortnite's Battle Royale modes *_encourages_* you to eliminate players and you get rewarded for doing so. You should be focusing on Quests, especially the *_Survivor Medals_* . This quest is there every season and you get given a reward with different style unlocks, each style is unlocked once you achieve the medal. It goes from Common ALL the way up to Mythic. You have to complete 10 challenges on each medal stage. The Survivor Medals quests focuses you on NOT ONLY *surviving* , but racking up the *elims* and are done step by step, so once you met the conditions of it, you unlock the next step where it is the same thing but MORE! The Medal counts down from 10 to 1 on the stage. You get the style of the medal once you get it down to 0. You'll also unlock the next Medal. DO THESE throughout the season! It gets progressively more difficult, with one of the Legendary Medals quests requesting a Victory Royale. Use the strategies I mentioned and you'll get it in no time.
This is great advice. In my games I try to pick spots that might or might not be contested off spawn simply because I hate getting into multiple fights without sheild or ammo. It's even worse If I'm being 50/50 for floor loot, I will loose the pick up battle 99% of the time. However once I've clear that POI I start being intentional about looking for players, I almost never play forecast any more. What you are saying goes back to conversations I've had with comp players where they've said basically "you have to learn to take what you have, not what you want, and make something out of it" Can you play a entire game never getting to a mod bench because you are so dependant on the mods to make the weapons useful? I've started trying this in some of my solos.
Hey leave bush camp dad alone... ya gotta respect that man's grind and effort..., plus even he does try to fight and admits hes not a great fighter ... how can a player who hits unreal in both modes suck?
Many players aim to get multiple mythics and medallions. These are my favourite players to eliminate - I’m comfortable landing anywhere and taking a fight with anything. and usually find good loot from opponents.
Good Ideas! I’m just getting back into Fortnite after a few years of taking a break and am considering starting to play zero build since people are really sweaty at building now! So your strategies are very helpful!
Trust me take the advice, those players are the WORST players to play with if you're doing squads. I'd rather have a player who just started playing fortnite an hour ago than A player who does nothing but loot and be scared of ANY combat
This is solid advice- just started playing more and more over the past month and I definitely have gotten more focused on getting a W than getting better- great vid!❤
Oh my God Toby, yes yes yes. I have so many friends that argue with me that Fortnite Battle Royal is a "survival game.' But I agree with you that having this mindset of "I do better in the match the more I survive in the game. The better I am at surviving, the better I do in games. I just survive until the end and 50/50 the last fight. That is how I maintain my 10% win rate. If I maintain a 10% win rate, I am happy." I wince when my friends call Fortnite Battle Royal a survival game, or a hybird survival/shooter game. Some say that "Fortnite isn't a shooter."
Literally the best advice ever given to me was this don't be afraid you're just going to end up in the lobby anyway win or lose so just play I'll give a few tips on how to get tremendously better Number one, don't take the game serious just have fun Number two, battle your friends in zone wars builds and no builds Number three, play gun game often to increase the compatibility with each weapon and rarity Number four, play solos more than anything Number five, play some matches without heals doing this will help you focus on the game more instead of running away
Train in creative but take that to BR or Zero builds. Learning how to fight in those hot POIs is crucial. Funny thing is, good players coming with great loadouts in the end game did not go looting for most of those items. They pick them up from players they Elim. Here's another mental shift. If you can clear a POI of opponents... You've bought yourself a window to quickly loot whatever you'd like. In the end it's a more time efficient way to play. Take certain games and concentrate on Elims. NOT placement. Or, take several rounds to hit POIs you want to get better at fighting in. Once you know the Fastest way to land at Risky Reels and loot that weapon cache OR hit the other chests and Elim the player that hit that cache, your confidence will go up. And your options for drop zones also goes up. Also, I personally love the rush of seeing/hearing gunfire indicators. I will veer to go engage. Now, HOW you decide to enter that engagement still requires tactics and thought. But I love that thrill of running TOWARDS a fight. And knowing I have a good chance of winning if I use my skills. And if I lose, cool. Watch that play if needed and learn from someone that was either better than you, or the lose you inflicted on yourself due to your own mistakes.
Game on! I legit did this on Sunday after Ranked Games had me worrying about placements instead of trying to combat everyone in sight. I literally told myself " let me free up my mind on some solo squads and not care about losing % afterwards ". I wanted something challenging and engaging to try to kill as many people as possible while not caring about winning as you said. Great Advice Toby! Now I'll try to do this while also refining my skills at the same time.
Lol yesterday we were rebooted and with gray pistols, beat a full medallion team that pushed us 😂. Combat and training helps a ton, also knowing how to play with your squad helps- the more combat you get into as a squad, the more you understand how their style is and thus creates team chemistry.
I've been trying to get into fight in solos but when playing squads I end up with zero kills in game and will just run after my team mates. Probably also due to not communicating where we are going.
I am used to play ZB squads with randoms teammates. Once they start dying, they immediately leave the game. Its really hard to 1v 4 in this situation and start engaging in combat alone. Therefore, you will have no choice but to play smartly by using slice the pie technique one at a time but it doesn't work with Top 0.1 squads because all of them will rush you at the same time. There are lots of techniques for combat, you manage to provide them in another separate videos which is quite useful. Thanks TobyWanShinobi!
The worst thing is when you go to get their reboot card and they still leave. Or leave once you have it. I've won with just myself and someone else. People just give up and immediately.
i've watched like thousands of fortnite help videos to get better but strangely your content really clicked with me. thank you so much for helping me with a lot of stuff, there's times i'll be playing fortnite and listen to you in the background lol
I agree with this to a certain extent. I am pretty much brand new to Fortnite and have never played an FPS or video games (aside from Mario Kart and RAID Shadow Legends) so the learning curve is steep for me. I definitely fall under the - land in low key areas and make it to end game then hope for the best - group (which I have won quite a bit doing). The problem is I am horrible at fighting. I think the advice to just jump in and start getting murdered every game is valid. But I also think Fortnite is one of those games that have a lot of nuances that go into actually being good at the fighting aspect of the game. Things such as the platform you're using to play, your internet speed/ping, and basic hand dexterity all come into play here. It can be discouraging to get pooped on every battle straight out the gate and even more frustrating when it doesn't seem to be improving even with hours pf play time under your belt. I suppose some of us need to come to the realization that, just like with sports, there are people who excel and others who should stick to a casual mentality.
GAME ON!! Actually, sometime last week, after watching one of your live streams, I started making it a habit to drop at boss locations, get a Mythic and started treating all the medallion circles on the maps as bounties! I usually only get 3 medallions per game, but I've carried all 5 just one time, it was awesome... Thank you for the great content! I really loved your scientific analysis in the AR rifle video too!
I agree with this. However. Bushcamping works too. To maximise my crowns I do what you suggest until there are only 3 or 4 teams left then go bush camping
I agree. And this way, the other players farm and loot for me. So efficient. In other hand, i never stop. And rushing at the end of the game cause me trouble, third parties, and i really don't win. I think, it's important to keep a balance, and play for kill in early mid game and the win when around 10 people left
Thank you for this map! I'm 3 weeks new to fortnite but I'm an OG Unreal Tournament Player. This map feels like UT2 in a way. I didn't realize these are real players on this map! It's great practice. Thanks again. For all your tips and videos.
Great video. When I started think about the phases of the game (early/mid/late) and thinking that could be like a MOBA game, where you going evolving in each phase of the game, it helps me a lot. Let's think that when you finish among the last ten players, the match lasts on average 20 minutes, the phases can be divided into 7 or 8 minutes each. This helps me in the looting and fighting. I try to make earlier loot with close/medium range weapons and shield and try to locate more players, so I can eliminate then more earlier. In the mid game, its time to rotating and try to get better weapons if possible, but starting focus in the mobility, it could be in a vehicle ou a item. And again, get more fights 1v1. In the late game, I think having mobility and all kind of range weapons will be perfect, but, trying play with the map to your advantage could be very better.
And yes, game on! I've been doing basically this since a couple of months or so. When I started feeling more comfortable in the game, I went actively searching fights. Initially, I died at the first encounter :-) but now I often have between 3-5 elims before I go out (typically because I do not heal, or reload properly, between fights). The game play has a completely different tempo, it is much more fun, the adrenaline is pumping, I still suck at aiming :-) but I'm learning to be more versatile in fights, reposition, look for weaknesses, utilize my current equipment. And that's frankly much more fun to practice than grinding at that darned Aim + Mechanics chore. (I'll never be as good in aiming as my 12 year old son anyway...)
See and this is why whenever my friends wanna get better or something, or just practice, your channel is exactly what I recommend. This video diagnosed my situation exactly. I have a mere two words to say Toby: game ON 😎
Toby has become a motivational speaker no one can stop him now haha. This video is definitely some of the best advice for players struggling with getting good games on average. If someone told you they would give you 100$ per kill you would be 100% focused on getting each individual kill. If someone told you they would give you 1000$ per win you would be 1000% focused on not losing. The person with the kills would have more money and more wins because they are focused on a single constructive goal.
Game on! I followed this advice yesterday, dropped more kills in each game than i normally do and won some really good fights that i would never of won before. didnt get a W but deffinately felt better to play the game and not play gear up and die simulator.
I’ve literally gotten revived once and landed on someone and killed them with a gray pistol with no shield. Then again I was upset they killed me so I didn’t care what happened I usually would try to find a shotgun at minimum first😂😂
When I first started playing Fortnite and that was in chapter 3. The only place I landed was the tilted tower, which was in the center of the map and most player landed there. So I picked up the skills very quickly. Now I go for the medallion right after landing, and I encounter a lot of strong players, and I go search for the medallion circle to meet those players as well.
I think it depends on what your goals are. The first thing you should do is set goals for your situation. Not everyone has all day to play Fortnite. In almost every game I play, I watch aggressive players, that are very good at combat, lose because they are so aggressive. I call this dumb fighting. It's a bad strategy, guaranteeing loses. Yeah, some players are so good, they can still come out on top, but why take the risk. Ultimately for me it's about wins, and what it takes to get more of them. This month, I been winning 20%. I've only been playing for a year, so I'm pretty happy with that. Next season, I'd like to average 20% wins. I would never play in creatives to get better, as I just don't have that kind of time. To me, if you are getting in fights that takes a pro player level to win them, you are getting into the wrong type of fights.
If winning is what makes it fun for you, I hear you - that's great. But ultimately you won't be winning against players who have practiced combat non-stop and play smart when you end up in a 1v1 for the win. I am NOT encouraging 50/50 fights. Every fight you take, you need to find an advantage. But you won't recognize how to create advantages in fights unless you take a LOT of them in real game scenarios. A 20% win rate is great if it's solos!
I'm just old. If I was young, and wanted to play in tournaments, yeah, definitely, get in as many fights as possible, as training. It's the same in any sport. The great are great because they have seen it all a million times and can respond quicker, literally seeing the game in builet time, versus everyone else. Me, I'm a 3D artist that will be selling my animals and creatures within the Fortnite ecosystem soon, as I'm already selling on Unreal now. So, I thought I should play Fortnite and try to understand it a little. @@TobyWanShinobi
I can’t emphasize enough how important practicing SPECIFIC skills are. The point Toby made earlier is super important. When practicing in creative, you need to focus on specific skills to get better. Just playing to play will get you better, but trying to improve yourself is the game changer.
Makes a lot of sense. I started watching you a few weeks ago and got a lot better consistently everyday, but then I hit a wall. Going to start seeking out way to get better at all aspects and let the “W’s” come that way. Thanks for the great content
Great video, as always. This has been my first season and I eventually realized playing to win is pretty boring. Instead I now play to fight and have fun, and if/when I get schmucked I'm playing again in two minutes.
Im here just to say thank you master shinobi, u inspired me since your first movement video. now i have over 10k kills in creative mode and im a really calm fighter, i got used to fight and stay calm at any circunstances!! Everybody that reads my coment, listen to this guy, he rly knows what hes talking about!! thank you a lot master!
honestly, this advice doesnt just apply to fortnite. it really applies to real life problems too. you probably may or may not have realized it, but this video described exactly how to tackle depression in a way! thank you for this.
I’ve found myself having more success, wins, seconds, thirds by taking every fight I can find - without being stupid about it. It has given me a lot more confidence heading into the endgame, even with a non-preferred loadout. I now find myself frustrated when I don’t encounter other players for a long period of time. I see the count going down and know that others are reaping the best loot, and even more importantly, getting into a good groove. I’m happier when I arrive at the end game with 5-7 kills.
I recently discovered you and I could watch your videos for hours! Thanks for pushing your FFA map, its gaining more traction and much more active than last week! Cheers
Hats off to you, Sir. What an incredible map. My only advice would be to remove all mobility that isn't in current season, which will force people to learn how to shockwave etc. But yeah, reeeally good map!
I'm so glad I watched this, I literally argue with my teammates about this, and then the rest of the team want to land At the edge of the map, and then we're running from storm for most of the game😮💨
I 100% agree with you brother. Play to have fun, learn and experiment with new things and forget about winning. Ultimately you will have more fun, get better, and win more games. Just relax and have fun.
I just started playing fortnite a few weeks ago. I haven't played a FPS like this since Unreal Tournament. So it's full circle. I'm at level 70 with 8 crowns so I'm already hooked lol but could be a lot better. Thanks for this and all your videos! GAME ON!
Great advice I heard it from Ninja too. Getting into fights and getting good at it is the way to go. I'm guilty of playing the game too safe sometimes and when the time to fight comes up my aim and movement feels way off. Keep it up Toby you're the man.
Agreed my friend, the BEST way to get better is to do the thing you suck at over and over. The ability to be stealthy has a time and place, but for the most part if you are the aggressor you maintain the upper hand in most battles.
Thank you for this video. I now have something to show some friends that started playing in the past few seasons. Myself I started playing Ch1S1, back in the old days of fort I used to run from fights, but after tilted came out, I started dropping there almost every game. I can easily say I got a lot better dropping there most of the time, as it got me used to dropping, getting a gun and rushing people. These days I average 20 kills per game, and am ALWAYS hunting lmao
There is no worst feeling than entering a game, sneaking like a rat, never shooting a single bullet for 20 minutes, then meet sweats without any warm up and deliver free loot to their doorstep... I have been avoiding any battle royale games for years, because that was some of my friends play style, and absolutely hated those games. Now fortnite is one of my favourite games and all it took to start having fun was convincing my friends to go on a safari in the lobbies rather than win games. Last Saturday night we wiped over 1/4 of the lobby (10+ kills each) and actually won the game in the end :D
And with just one video, sensei destroys my Storm Surfin strategy. Was working on it for 2 seasons. I was hoping the FFA would fine tune it, but now i may just toss the strategy completely-GAME ON
I listened to all your videos and it worked. When I’m in mid round or one of the last players standing. I’m pretty good and most of the time I win. Its just at the start. I keep dying. Everywhere I go, (especially the medallion places) people somehow get epic - legendary sniper or weapons so early on in the game I literally don’t even stand a chance. Like I have an uncommon weapon, and he has a 4x sniper. Who would win😁👍👍👍?? (Clearly the sniper person) LIKE I CANT EVEN SHOOT THAT FAR AWAY! I’m so mad rn. Please do a tutorial on how to actually start the match without getting sniped by lucky people so early on the game, (well not that specific) please do a tutorial on how to start the match properly. And most of the matches I play and die. it’s not even my mistake.
There is a happy median between landing in strategic places which provide an appropriate loot path/forecast tower based on team size and still being aggressive. I get that you are referring to campers and only using BR to improve fighting skills. Your initial description was of me though ;)
ur custom map is really nice, the only problem is the amount of ppl teaming, mb u could make everyone have default skins and hide name, it would help with this issue
40 year old Dad here, new to FN and played last pass. F your stats, always drop hot zones and contested POI, the more you play to kill the easier wins are. Half of my wins are from games where I look up to check kills and realize I have 5 left. Just like in Tarkov, let the scrubs loot for you.
Doing this made me realize how awful at combat I am. I've been playing ranked for the past 5 hours landing at hot POIs and I'm placing in the top 85 almost every game with litte to no eliminations in Gold 2 even though I made it halfway to Champion last season.
This goes for life as well dont sit back and wait for stuff to happen go out there and chase it ....if you wait for the right moment you will be waiting for years of your life..
My fighting is good but I also pride myself on strategy and my rotations from early game and end game. Taking smart engagements and finding those power positions for easy wins. If I want to practice fights I’ll play red vs blue or something
Thank you for posting this video. Same applies to builds too put yourself into dangerous situations and don’t doubt yourself. I myself have a rule of 3. First I play the PEOPLE. Second, I play the TOPOGRAPHY. Third, I play the CIRCLE. But putting yourself out there as you said over and over makes you more experienced and are able to handle the pressures from multiple perspectives.
Game on!! Your videos have help me a lot to improve my game. Your training grounds are amazing. My sniper skills have gotten 10x better practicing in them. Thank you!
this is actually how i made fortnite fun! my friends force me to play aggresive and its way more fun. there are fights that you are definitely gonna have to retreat from though
Game on! I've been playing Fortnite for a while now, and although I still suck at it, I've found your videos to be extremely helpful. If anything, I've become a lot better at fighting smarter and analyzing where I messed up.
On the money! Your FFA map is honestly the best map for simulations of in game experience. That is something that i have not found in any other creative, so i would just grind in pubs (can be mentally taxing). Dont get me wrong, there are maps that help in specific areas, but none for general combat experience at a higher engagements per hour! Thanks
RE: Point 1. I learned from EvolveJake that rarity should be the last thing you think of. Learn 1. the meta and 2. your preferences within, and think about rarity and loot dead last. There's a reason my Duos partner and I have three tier of wins. Lowest: Win. Mid: Crown win. Top Tier: GREY PISTOL DUB
I took your advice my first game on after watching your video I had a 11 kill win. Normally I would win with 3 to 5 kills. It was so much funner being aggressive and chasing etc.. thank you
GAME ON. I have tried your new creative map and I get absolutely owned. My old gaming laptop struggles to a constant 60 FPS at super low settings. How much do you think the gaming setup has do with winning?
120fps is ideal for close range fights... you definitely are at a disadvantage if you are only getting 60fps because you are getting less information per moment than your enemy.
Game On! Your videos really help out a lot, which also helped in getting more elims per game and pulling off some crazy plays like one I did recently a few days ago that I now have saved
I was originally a passive player. Coming from Call of Duty where I was king of sniping and camping . I only started getting better in fortnite when I became very aggressive. I was shocked when I started started being aggressive there are more passive than aggressive people on fortnite.
My daughter and I just tried Fortnite as a duo. 3rd, 1st and 1st. We moved in crouch mode everywhere and picked off people who were already fighting others or we'd get to the circle early, find a building and shoot everyone running from the circle lol Im proud of her, 8 years old, 72% accuracy and 13 kills.
Nice work! I don't mean to burst your bubble, but the first 10 games on any new account are all-bot lobbies... after 10 games have been played you will start encountering real players. Awesome that you guys are gaming together ❤️
When CS:Go Dropped back in the day when i had time to play games like mad, i was training and doing drills 2 hours a day and play for 2 hours in 3 months with only 4 hours a day i went from silver 1 in cs go to DMG and back then DMG was top 0,5% of player base in cs go and total players was about 1 million if I remember correctly so tip 1 one TRAIN EVERY DAY 2 Hours Attest REST just go W key dont care for win in Fortnite and you will improve tremendously
just started playing and the Survivor Medals, studip but i like golds, really helped me be agressive. If you need 7 kills or more you need to be aggressive
GAME ON!!! I recently started dropping in hot spots for more combat intensity. It's fun but I get wrecked more than half the time. But that's okay. This is a process/journey. Love your videos and content. Shout out to Ryu!!
This guy is saying what i do most of the time and even though i use this knowledge all the time i am always top ten with a lot of kills minimum of 10 kills each game
Hey Toby I've been watching your content for a while now and have improved as a player but at the same I haven't seen any success in actual games though. I've only improved mechanicly and at sniping but I am still inconsistent at those things in real games. The difference is is that now im sometimes capable of doing extremely impressive things. Im going to listen to your advice closely today, get on fortnite later and play the best I have in months💪
How does this affect skill based matchmaking? If I get better, does my squad get matched with better players which means I still don’t get as many wins later?
I played Fortnite back before it was even battle Royale when it was just save the world then battle Royale came out I loved it. I had so much fun with it. Then they introduced turbo building during the time it was released. I was able to keep up with a lot of people, but I also wasn’t die hard. I also like to venture out and play other games as well, but I feel like doing so hurt my progress in Fortnite. I took a very long break from the game when they first introduced the airplanes. I just recently started playing again no and regular mode lol so Zero build it for now within the past two weeks since I came back to fort I have enjoyed it a lot. But I obviously still have a lot to learn one thing I can say I have no problem, taking gun fights with people due to my years of FPS gaming. It is more of getting used to the mechanics of the game again and learning the different weapons. Thank you for this video in the effort you put into it definitely gave me some things to think about!
Game on! I'm interested in this challenge, I always feel like I try to be that aggressive player and I'm just getting outclassed in my fights. But sometimes when I do rewatch my games, I notice I'm passive a lot more than I realize.

Hey Toby! I've really enjoyed and used your tips! I'm going to use your code "tobiwanshinobi" when I purchase the battlepass tonight!
hey tobi, iam lars from the netherlands and i saw most of your vidios my user is Vepz Lars iam not the best english speaker but can you please coatch me
GAME ON!
Yeah people on here just camp and snipe. I couldn't even mod my weapon at spawn without people shooting at me from the map
I am not good at close range combat. I end up panic shooting LMAO.
"Use failure as a lesson versus an emotional state" hits hard! This chapter I've changed a good bit of my strategy, as mentioned in this video. Used to, I'd hide and wait for opportunities to win the game, versus being aggessive and looking for fights to help me improve. Doing this has helped me win ALOT more games than before.
Im very impressed with this Toby. This is pretty much spot on. It pains me to watch people spend 75% of their game looting just to die and go back to the lobby, and repeat everything again. You're 100% correct that every death is your fault to an extent, once you take accountability and actively make changes you will see the progression. You cannot just wait for everyone else to make mistakes so you can pick up the easy win, you NEED to get better at fighting.... my biggest tip is FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT... its just a video game, nothing is stopping you.
It's not your own fault when you die to a player that is camping at a spot where you can't see them. So the argument about "It's your own fault the way you die" dosn't hold.
It is to a degree, you walked into that building and there may have been hints of someone hiding there, etc. You could have checked corners better, etc.
I'm not saying that you can be perfect but if you take accountability you will find ways to improve in the future. If you don't, you won't learn from you mistakes because it "wasn't your fault"
This video makes for great complimentary content to the earlier video where, Toby Wan, you discuss anxiety, etc. My friend & I discussed, early on when we started playing together, how we were using Fortnite to train ourselves to deal with our stressors better and handle real life situations where we tend to feel extremely uncomfortable in situations involving confrontation.
Big agree on this, I literally have forced myself to move away from my "comfort zone" of hitting my favourite drop spots, gearing up and then looking for third party action. I have noticed a big difference. For a frame of reference, I just started playing FN with my son almost a month ago and yy background is mainly Tarkov and other mil-sims hence the initial passive play. I am really loving the "W-key" mentality. Been watching your videos since I started playing last month and I truly appreciate your content. Thanks so much!
Cool. I also just started so Im not such dog sh*t when my son asks me to duo up......Only slightly less dog sh*t now tho
This is such good advice Toby. I just recently made this mental shift and it’s a game changer. Being the hunter instead of the hunted makes all the difference in fights. It allows me to stay calm and execute on the things you’ve taught me instead of panicking when I’m thrown into a fight I didn’t expect or choose.
So, Toby, I was bored and couldn't sleep a few nights ago. I got five back to back solo wins, one was ranked. The best gun I had all those times was a purple, and it was an SMG; I don't care for SMGs. I was taking every fight I could and finished with a 20 bomb in my fifth lobby. I've become pretty aggressive and love going into fights, but when I discovered your channel during MEGA I was an anxious freaking MESS at all times. I decided to, as you said in a recent process, let the system doing its thing. That has been the best decision I made of my own accord around November of last year and I've learned a lot simply from watching your gameplay.
That said, I will admit there are times I will avoid fights until the end because I know I'm good enough to win. Even when I do, I've become a much better player than I was even this time last year and I attribute a lot of that to your videos and advice. So thank you! I've gone from fearing Fortnite and end game, to now loving the game wholeheartedly.
smgs are the best guns though. really great starter weapon as you learn to work on your aim and they’re super quick…
Game on.
I actually had a victory that was an example of how getting comfortable in combat is important.
Came down to me and a guy who used passive tatics to amass 4 medallions, he was setting one under a car and sniping people out of the driver seat from a nearby bush. He must've been loaded with Mythics and Legendaries. But when I closed the gap, and applied some juking and right shoulder peeks I've learned from this channel, I beat him with a Green Auto Shotgun against him using Oscar's without him even breaking my shields because he choked.
One of my proudest Victories because I saw how important using tatics and getting comfortable is.
Game on!
Sounds like you were up against a bot😂
@@goombaahh3092 Not likely, this man was making traps and using mobility.
After playing and getting eliminated a LOT in my first season of Fortnite (Chapter 5 Season 1), I actually change my focus and actually go in on the chaos and that ended up with me winning 5 Zero Build matches throughout the season and I don't feel bad about losing a lot of the time. I always tell myself that there is another match or another game and I will try and put some effort into playing better. You don't get good on your first match of the day, learning and having fun is MORE IMPORTANT than the victories. If you are not having fun, what hell of a game are you playing?
I have learned a very valuable tip for any newcomer like me who wants to know to "git gud" at Zero Build or Battle Royale. If you think winning is your primary goal - nah ah! Your priority is *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY!?* Yeap, WIN THE GAME should NOT be your priority. You know how bad and gutted you feel about getting eliminated by other players, learn what got you into that and change your approach. EVERYONE that isn't you or your team can eliminate you, they are just as hostile as the bosses on the map. You need to make THEM lose and you need to give THEM the worst match and make them feel TERRIBLE! If you're sad from your recent elimination, take a quick breather and get into the clear mindset. If you're mad, do the same thing as you would with being sad and use that agression you built up on THEM.
Of course, think about _predator VS prey_ .If you have a low kill count during the match and you decide to stay hidden and focus on loot, you will eventually be maxed out and you'll be forced OUT of hiding by the storm, like a bunch of captured prey who were forced out. If players find you looting without anyone else around, you're telling them that YOU give up and you're a terrible clutz - sending YOU back to the Lobby. Remember, you need THEM to go to the Lobby, NOT YOU! Your goal is to *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY* , not RUIN YOUR DAY. If that happened you in a match, remember the goal I said - *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY!?* Quickly get your loot when you land and start finding THEM. Focus on being the predator, NOT the prey. Every player is your prey that you need to hunt, some are VERY skilled and some are SHY as hell. If you hear a fight nearby, GO THERE! If there's a 50:50, interfere it and END THEIR MATCH. Third partying can be a VERY successful strategy to rack up kill counts. The two that started will have taken some serious damage. If you see a 50:50 that just ended, END THE SURVIVOR. They're weak! Only escape and hide if you took almost match-ending damage. If they're running away, CHASE THEM! Adapt as you go along, a predator will know a few moves ahead - just like chess.
Remember, the most important goal for you is *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY!?* If you take every opportunity that is there like a fights, the loot, the bosses, the travel methods, and other important things like the weather towers... you will be as GOOD of a player as the ones that you see dominating the matches. If you lose after all of that, doesn't matter - YOU deserve a pat in the back for the effort. YOU should feel happy, YOU are having FUN! THEM, you just *RUIN THEIR DAY!?* and that is exactly IMPORTANT for EVERY match in Zero Build and Battle Royale, and it feels really rewarding + you get a TON of XP! You can see your match results on its tab the Results Screen regardless of your outcome of either you winning or you getting eliminated. You can even see all of the Accolades you got during the match.
You get XP for a lot of your actions including popping a lot of the headdies, even more when you're holding a Victory Crown. You can tell if someone has it literally at the start of the match if they thanked the Battle Bus Driver. Gold text = Victory Crown. You don't need to previously have a victory to get it. When that player gets eliminated, they drop their victory too! If you win with it, it adds a counter to the number of matches won with Victory Crowns which gets resetted every season. You can see that counter if you have the Crowning Achievement Emote. If you don't have that emote, you get given that emote in your first Victory Royale with the Crown. If you get your first ever Victory Royale in Fortnite, you also get a neatly uncommon Umbrella as a Glider. My 1st Victory Royale was a Crown Victory. I was freaking out at that point too. I had about 8 elims at that time which is fine. The reason why I am pointing that out is that Fortnite's Battle Royale modes *_encourages_* you to eliminate players and you get rewarded for doing so. You should be focusing on Quests, especially the *_Survivor Medals_* . This quest is there every season and you get given a reward with different style unlocks, each style is unlocked once you achieve the medal. It goes from Common ALL the way up to Mythic. You have to complete 10 challenges on each medal stage. The Survivor Medals quests focuses you on NOT ONLY *surviving* , but racking up the *elims* and are done step by step, so once you met the conditions of it, you unlock the next step where it is the same thing but MORE! The Medal counts down from 10 to 1 on the stage. You get the style of the medal once you get it down to 0. You'll also unlock the next Medal. DO THESE throughout the season! It gets progressively more difficult, with one of the Legendary Medals quests requesting a Victory Royale. Use the strategies I mentioned and you'll get it in no time.
This is great advice. In my games I try to pick spots that might or might not be contested off spawn simply because I hate getting into multiple fights without sheild or ammo. It's even worse If I'm being 50/50 for floor loot, I will loose the pick up battle 99% of the time. However once I've clear that POI I start being intentional about looking for players, I almost never play forecast any more.
What you are saying goes back to conversations I've had with comp players where they've said basically "you have to learn to take what you have, not what you want, and make something out of it"
Can you play a entire game never getting to a mod bench because you are so dependant on the mods to make the weapons useful? I've started trying this in some of my solos.
Bushcampdad would like to have a few words with you… 😂
That's why bushcampdad sucks
Hey leave bush camp dad alone... ya gotta respect that man's grind and effort..., plus even he does try to fight and admits hes not a great fighter ... how can a player who hits unreal in both modes suck?
But he would body you 5-0 in builds @@WillyMetal1015
bushcampdad doesn't suck he just has a different playstyle
@@bigpapasmurf187he’s got friendly stream snipers now that help him
Many players aim to get multiple mythics and medallions. These are my favourite players to eliminate - I’m comfortable landing anywhere and taking a fight with anything. and usually find good loot from opponents.
Good Ideas! I’m just getting back into Fortnite after a few years of taking a break and am considering starting to play zero build since people are really sweaty at building now! So your strategies are very helpful!
Ok, so you watched me play and got so frustrated you made a video. Point taken. You're right. I got my homework now.👊
You and me both. I called it Storm Surfin
I don’t think it was that he constantly talks about this in all of his improvement vids
@@Crazedpanda999 we're kidding
Trust me take the advice, those players are the WORST players to play with if you're doing squads. I'd rather have a player who just started playing fortnite an hour ago than A player who does nothing but loot and be scared of ANY combat
This is solid advice- just started playing more and more over the past month and I definitely have gotten more focused on getting a W than getting better- great vid!❤
Oh my God Toby, yes yes yes. I have so many friends that argue with me that Fortnite Battle Royal is a "survival game.' But I agree with you that having this mindset of "I do better in the match the more I survive in the game. The better I am at surviving, the better I do in games. I just survive until the end and 50/50 the last fight. That is how I maintain my 10% win rate. If I maintain a 10% win rate, I am happy." I wince when my friends call Fortnite Battle Royal a survival game, or a hybird survival/shooter game. Some say that "Fortnite isn't a shooter."
Literally the best advice ever given to me was this don't be afraid you're just going to end up in the lobby anyway win or lose so just play I'll give a few tips on how to get tremendously better
Number one, don't take the game serious just have fun
Number two, battle your friends in zone wars builds and no builds
Number three, play gun game often to increase the compatibility with each weapon and rarity
Number four, play solos more than anything
Number five, play some matches without heals doing this will help you focus on the game more instead of running away
Train in creative but take that to BR or Zero builds. Learning how to fight in those hot POIs is crucial.
Funny thing is, good players coming with great loadouts in the end game did not go looting for most of those items. They pick them up from players they Elim.
Here's another mental shift. If you can clear a POI of opponents... You've bought yourself a window to quickly loot whatever you'd like. In the end it's a more time efficient way to play.
Take certain games and concentrate on Elims. NOT placement. Or, take several rounds to hit POIs you want to get better at fighting in.
Once you know the Fastest way to land at Risky Reels and loot that weapon cache OR hit the other chests and Elim the player that hit that cache, your confidence will go up. And your options for drop zones also goes up.
Also, I personally love the rush of seeing/hearing gunfire indicators. I will veer to go engage. Now, HOW you decide to enter that engagement still requires tactics and thought. But I love that thrill of running TOWARDS a fight. And knowing I have a good chance of winning if I use my skills.
And if I lose, cool. Watch that play if needed and learn from someone that was either better than you, or the lose you inflicted on yourself due to your own mistakes.
Your tips are spot on, Toby! Thanks for your superb, informative content. Much appreciated from an OG here in grey UK!
Game on! I legit did this on Sunday after Ranked Games had me worrying about placements instead of trying to combat everyone in sight. I literally told myself " let me free up my mind on some solo squads and not care about losing % afterwards ". I wanted something challenging and engaging to try to kill as many people as possible while not caring about winning as you said. Great Advice Toby! Now I'll try to do this while also refining my skills at the same time.
Lol yesterday we were rebooted and with gray pistols, beat a full medallion team that pushed us 😂. Combat and training helps a ton, also knowing how to play with your squad helps- the more combat you get into as a squad, the more you understand how their style is and thus creates team chemistry.
I've been trying to get into fight in solos but when playing squads I end up with zero kills in game and will just run after my team mates. Probably also due to not communicating where we are going.
I am used to play ZB squads with randoms teammates. Once they start dying, they immediately leave the game. Its really hard to 1v 4 in this situation and start engaging in combat alone. Therefore, you will have no choice but to play smartly by using slice the pie technique one at a time but it doesn't work with Top 0.1 squads because all of them will rush you at the same time. There are lots of techniques for combat, you manage to provide them in another separate videos which is quite useful. Thanks TobyWanShinobi!
The worst thing is when you go to get their reboot card and they still leave. Or leave once you have it. I've won with just myself and someone else. People just give up and immediately.
@@Joe-og6br congrats on the win 🏆 🌟
i've watched like thousands of fortnite help videos to get better but strangely your content really clicked with me. thank you so much for helping me with a lot of stuff, there's times i'll be playing fortnite and listen to you in the background lol
I agree with this to a certain extent. I am pretty much brand new to Fortnite and have never played an FPS or video games (aside from Mario Kart and RAID Shadow Legends) so the learning curve is steep for me. I definitely fall under the - land in low key areas and make it to end game then hope for the best - group (which I have won quite a bit doing). The problem is I am horrible at fighting. I think the advice to just jump in and start getting murdered every game is valid. But I also think Fortnite is one of those games that have a lot of nuances that go into actually being good at the fighting aspect of the game. Things such as the platform you're using to play, your internet speed/ping, and basic hand dexterity all come into play here. It can be discouraging to get pooped on every battle straight out the gate and even more frustrating when it doesn't seem to be improving even with hours pf play time under your belt. I suppose some of us need to come to the realization that, just like with sports, there are people who excel and others who should stick to a casual mentality.
GAME ON!!
Actually, sometime last week, after watching one of your live streams, I started making it a habit to drop at boss locations, get a Mythic and started treating all the medallion circles on the maps as bounties! I usually only get 3 medallions per game, but I've carried all 5 just one time, it was awesome... Thank you for the great content! I really loved your scientific analysis in the AR rifle video too!
I agree with this. However. Bushcamping works too. To maximise my crowns I do what you suggest until there are only 3 or 4 teams left then go bush camping
I agree. And this way, the other players farm and loot for me. So efficient. In other hand, i never stop. And rushing at the end of the game cause me trouble, third parties, and i really don't win. I think, it's important to keep a balance, and play for kill in early mid game and the win when around 10 people left
100%
Thank you for this map! I'm 3 weeks new to fortnite but I'm an OG Unreal Tournament Player. This map feels like UT2 in a way. I didn't realize these are real players on this map! It's great practice. Thanks again. For all your tips and videos.
Great video. When I started think about the phases of the game (early/mid/late) and thinking that could be like a MOBA game, where you going evolving in each phase of the game, it helps me a lot.
Let's think that when you finish among the last ten players, the match lasts on average 20 minutes, the phases can be divided into 7 or 8 minutes each. This helps me in the looting and fighting.
I try to make earlier loot with close/medium range weapons and shield and try to locate more players, so I can eliminate then more earlier.
In the mid game, its time to rotating and try to get better weapons if possible, but starting focus in the mobility, it could be in a vehicle ou a item. And again, get more fights 1v1.
In the late game, I think having mobility and all kind of range weapons will be perfect, but, trying play with the map to your advantage could be very better.
And yes, game on!
I've been doing basically this since a couple of months or so. When I started feeling more comfortable in the game, I went actively searching fights. Initially, I died at the first encounter :-) but now I often have between 3-5 elims before I go out (typically because I do not heal, or reload properly, between fights).
The game play has a completely different tempo, it is much more fun, the adrenaline is pumping, I still suck at aiming :-) but I'm learning to be more versatile in fights, reposition, look for weaknesses, utilize my current equipment. And that's frankly much more fun to practice than grinding at that darned Aim + Mechanics chore. (I'll never be as good in aiming as my 12 year old son anyway...)
See and this is why whenever my friends wanna get better or something, or just practice, your channel is exactly what I recommend. This video diagnosed my situation exactly. I have a mere two words to say Toby: game ON 😎
Underrated video ngl,Id also love to see an updated movement video!
Toby has become a motivational speaker no one can stop him now haha. This video is definitely some of the best advice for players struggling with getting good games on average. If someone told you they would give you 100$ per kill you would be 100% focused on getting each individual kill. If someone told you they would give you 1000$ per win you would be 1000% focused on not losing. The person with the kills would have more money and more wins because they are focused on a single constructive goal.
Game on! I followed this advice yesterday, dropped more kills in each game than i normally do and won some really good fights that i would never of won before. didnt get a W but deffinately felt better to play the game and not play gear up and die simulator.
I’ve literally gotten revived once and landed on someone and killed them with a gray pistol with no shield. Then again I was upset they killed me so I didn’t care what happened I usually would try to find a shotgun at minimum first😂😂
When I first started playing Fortnite and that was in chapter 3. The only place I landed was the tilted tower, which was in the center of the map and most player landed there. So I picked up the skills very quickly. Now I go for the medallion right after landing, and I encounter a lot of strong players, and I go search for the medallion circle to meet those players as well.
this is the way.
Game on. I’m 46 and my girls got me into the game about a month ago. I’m at a place where I really needed to hear this, thanks.
I am almost 48 and I have 2 kids that play. We have a blast together :)
55yo female!
64 and play with my 2 adult kids and their partners 4 to 5 times a week...fun stuff!
I think it depends on what your goals are. The first thing you should do is set goals for your situation. Not everyone has all day to play Fortnite. In almost every game I play, I watch aggressive players, that are very good at combat, lose because they are so aggressive. I call this dumb fighting. It's a bad strategy, guaranteeing loses. Yeah, some players are so good, they can still come out on top, but why take the risk. Ultimately for me it's about wins, and what it takes to get more of them. This month, I been winning 20%. I've only been playing for a year, so I'm pretty happy with that. Next season, I'd like to average 20% wins. I would never play in creatives to get better, as I just don't have that kind of time. To me, if you are getting in fights that takes a pro player level to win them, you are getting into the wrong type of fights.
If winning is what makes it fun for you, I hear you - that's great. But ultimately you won't be winning against players who have practiced combat non-stop and play smart when you end up in a 1v1 for the win.
I am NOT encouraging 50/50 fights. Every fight you take, you need to find an advantage. But you won't recognize how to create advantages in fights unless you take a LOT of them in real game scenarios.
A 20% win rate is great if it's solos!
I'm just old. If I was young, and wanted to play in tournaments, yeah, definitely, get in as many fights as possible, as training. It's the same in any sport. The great are great because they have seen it all a million times and can respond quicker, literally seeing the game in builet time, versus everyone else. Me, I'm a 3D artist that will be selling my animals and creatures within the Fortnite ecosystem soon, as I'm already selling on Unreal now. So, I thought I should play Fortnite and try to understand it a little.
@@TobyWanShinobi
I needed to hear this
I can’t emphasize enough how important practicing SPECIFIC skills are. The point Toby made earlier is super important. When practicing in creative, you need to focus on specific skills to get better. Just playing to play will get you better, but trying to improve yourself is the game changer.
Makes a lot of sense. I started watching you a few weeks ago and got a lot better consistently everyday, but then I hit a wall. Going to start seeking out way to get better at all aspects and let the “W’s” come that way.
Thanks for the great content
Great video, as always. This has been my first season and I eventually realized playing to win is pretty boring. Instead I now play to fight and have fun, and if/when I get schmucked I'm playing again in two minutes.
Im here just to say thank you master shinobi, u inspired me since your first movement video. now i have over 10k kills in creative mode and im a really calm fighter, i got used to fight and stay calm at any circunstances!! Everybody that reads my coment, listen to this guy, he rly knows what hes talking about!! thank you a lot master!
honestly, this advice doesnt just apply to fortnite. it really applies to real life problems too. you probably may or may not have realized it, but this video described exactly how to tackle depression in a way! thank you for this.
I’ve found myself having more success, wins, seconds, thirds by taking every fight I can find - without being stupid about it. It has given me a lot more confidence heading into the endgame, even with a non-preferred loadout.
I now find myself frustrated when I don’t encounter other players for a long period of time. I see the count going down and know that others are reaping the best loot, and even more importantly, getting into a good groove. I’m happier when I arrive at the end game with 5-7 kills.
Well done!
I recently discovered you and I could watch your videos for hours! Thanks for pushing your FFA map, its gaining more traction and much more active than last week! Cheers
Hats off to you, Sir. What an incredible map. My only advice would be to remove all mobility that isn't in current season, which will force people to learn how to shockwave etc. But yeah, reeeally good map!
The katana is only in there because TMNT mythics were similar. It will be removed soon.
Great advice! Gonna play more aggressive from now on and see how it goes. My ultimate goal is to dominate my kids! I’ll keep you updated. Game on!
I'm so glad I watched this, I literally argue with my teammates about this, and then the rest of the team want to land At the edge of the map, and then we're running from storm for most of the game😮💨
I 100% agree with you brother. Play to have fun, learn and experiment with new things and forget about winning. Ultimately you will have more fun, get better, and win more games. Just relax and have fun.
I just started playing fortnite a few weeks ago. I haven't played a FPS like this since Unreal Tournament. So it's full circle. I'm at level 70 with 8 crowns so I'm already hooked lol but could be a lot better. Thanks for this and all your videos! GAME ON!
Great advice I heard it from Ninja too. Getting into fights and getting good at it is the way to go. I'm guilty of playing the game too safe sometimes and when the time to fight comes up my aim and movement feels way off. Keep it up Toby you're the man.
Agreed my friend, the BEST way to get better is to do the thing you suck at over and over. The ability to be stealthy has a time and place, but for the most part if you are the aggressor you maintain the upper hand in most battles.
Solid advice.

Thank you for this video. I now have something to show some friends that started playing in the past few seasons.
Myself I started playing Ch1S1, back in the old days of fort I used to run from fights, but after tilted came out, I started dropping there almost every game. I can easily say I got a lot better dropping there most of the time, as it got me used to dropping, getting a gun and rushing people.
These days I average 20 kills per game, and am ALWAYS hunting lmao
There is no worst feeling than entering a game, sneaking like a rat, never shooting a single bullet for 20 minutes, then meet sweats without any warm up and deliver free loot to their doorstep...
I have been avoiding any battle royale games for years, because that was some of my friends play style, and absolutely hated those games. Now fortnite is one of my favourite games and all it took to start having fun was convincing my friends to go on a safari in the lobbies rather than win games. Last Saturday night we wiped over 1/4 of the lobby (10+ kills each) and actually won the game in the end :D
And with just one video, sensei destroys my Storm Surfin strategy. Was working on it for 2 seasons. I was hoping the FFA would fine tune it, but now i may just toss the strategy completely-GAME ON
the device i game on sucks and i found that hiding to end yields better results, but its just not fun
My 🐐 very very well said
I listened to all your videos and it worked. When I’m in mid round or one of the last players standing. I’m pretty good and most of the time I win. Its just at the start. I keep dying. Everywhere I go, (especially the medallion places) people somehow get epic - legendary sniper or weapons so early on in the game I literally don’t even stand a chance. Like I have an uncommon weapon, and he has a 4x sniper. Who would win😁👍👍👍?? (Clearly the sniper person) LIKE I CANT EVEN SHOOT THAT FAR AWAY! I’m so mad rn. Please do a tutorial on how to actually start the match without getting sniped by lucky people so early on the game, (well not that specific) please do a tutorial on how to start the match properly. And most of the matches I play and die. it’s not even my mistake.
Game On!
This was so good for me! You described be exactly. Lately, I’ve been dropping into Ruined Reels, which is a totally different game.
There is a happy median between landing in strategic places which provide an appropriate loot path/forecast tower based on team size and still being aggressive. I get that you are referring to campers and only using BR to improve fighting skills. Your initial description was of me though ;)
ur custom map is really nice, the only problem is the amount of ppl teaming, mb u could make everyone have default skins and hide name, it would help with this issue
Great video! Playing passive is something I do a lot. I once got a W without a single kill! This was super helpful. Game on!
40 year old Dad here, new to FN and played last pass. F your stats, always drop hot zones and contested POI, the more you play to kill the easier wins are. Half of my wins are from games where I look up to check kills and realize I have 5 left. Just like in Tarkov, let the scrubs loot for you.
I've got this problem a lot. I'm trying to change it up, and get into fights more often. Good advice, and a great video. Game on!
Doing this made me realize how awful at combat I am. I've been playing ranked for the past 5 hours landing at hot POIs and I'm placing in the top 85 almost every game with litte to no eliminations in Gold 2 even though I made it halfway to Champion last season.
Exceptional point. Have to perform combat well under pressure otherwise the greatest loot in the game is worthless.
This goes for life as well dont sit back and wait for stuff to happen go out there and chase it ....if you wait for the right moment you will be waiting for years of your life..
My fighting is good but I also pride myself on strategy and my rotations from early game and end game. Taking smart engagements and finding those power positions for easy wins. If I want to practice fights I’ll play red vs blue or something
Been following for a few weeks now, and my game has improved significantly.
Game on.
Love the random statistics, lol
Thank you for posting this video. Same applies to builds too put yourself into dangerous situations and don’t doubt yourself. I myself have a rule of 3. First I play the PEOPLE. Second, I play the TOPOGRAPHY. Third, I play the CIRCLE. But putting yourself out there as you said over and over makes you more experienced and are able to handle the pressures from multiple perspectives.
Game on!! Your videos have help me a lot to improve my game. Your training grounds are amazing. My sniper skills have gotten 10x better practicing in them. Thank you!
this is actually how i made fortnite fun! my friends force me to play aggresive and its way more fun. there are fights that you are definitely gonna have to retreat from though
Game on!
I've been playing Fortnite for a while now, and although I still suck at it, I've found your videos to be extremely helpful. If anything, I've become a lot better at fighting smarter and analyzing where I messed up.
On the money! Your FFA map is honestly the best map for simulations of in game experience. That is something that i have not found in any other creative, so i would just grind in pubs (can be mentally taxing). Dont get me wrong, there are maps that help in specific areas, but none for general combat experience at a higher engagements per hour! Thanks
Reminds me of early TSM Daequan when he said he never farmed mats, he let his opponents do it for him.
RE: Point 1. I learned from EvolveJake that rarity should be the last thing you think of. Learn 1. the meta and 2. your preferences within, and think about rarity and loot dead last. There's a reason my Duos partner and I have three tier of wins.
Lowest: Win.
Mid: Crown win.
Top Tier: GREY PISTOL DUB
I took your advice my first game on after watching your video I had a 11 kill win. Normally I would win with 3 to 5 kills. It was so much funner being aggressive and chasing etc.. thank you
"Losing is not the end of the world. Get comfortable with failure(loss of game)."Spoken like a true Shinobi! Thx for the advice
GAME ON. I have tried your new creative map and I get absolutely owned. My old gaming laptop struggles to a constant 60 FPS at super low settings. How much do you think the gaming setup has do with winning?
120fps is ideal for close range fights... you definitely are at a disadvantage if you are only getting 60fps because you are getting less information per moment than your enemy.
Thanks for the reply. Keep up with the great content.
Game On! Your videos really help out a lot, which also helped in getting more elims per game and pulling off some crazy plays like one I did recently a few days ago that I now have saved
I was originally a passive player. Coming from Call of Duty where I was king of sniping and camping . I only started getting better in fortnite when I became very aggressive. I was shocked when I started started being aggressive there are more passive than aggressive people on fortnite.
My daughter and I just tried Fortnite as a duo. 3rd, 1st and 1st.
We moved in crouch mode everywhere and picked off people who were already fighting others or we'd get to the circle early, find a building and shoot everyone running from the circle lol
Im proud of her, 8 years old, 72% accuracy and 13 kills.
Nice work! I don't mean to burst your bubble, but the first 10 games on any new account are all-bot lobbies... after 10 games have been played you will start encountering real players. Awesome that you guys are gaming together ❤️
When CS:Go Dropped back in the day when i had time to play games like mad, i was training and doing drills 2 hours a day and play for 2 hours in 3 months with only 4 hours a day i went from silver 1 in cs go to DMG and back then DMG was top 0,5% of player base in cs go and total players was about 1 million if I remember correctly so tip 1 one TRAIN EVERY DAY 2 Hours Attest REST just go W key dont care for win in Fortnite and you will improve tremendously
just started playing and the Survivor Medals, studip but i like golds, really helped me be agressive. If you need 7 kills or more you need to be aggressive
This was exactly what I did irl when i became national champion 18 months after starting to practise karate.
game on dude! should this be executed in ranked or outwith and bring the skills to there?
Just do normal pubs at first :) much faster queue times as well.
GAME ON!!! I recently started dropping in hot spots for more combat intensity. It's fun but I get wrecked more than half the time. But that's okay. This is a process/journey. Love your videos and content. Shout out to Ryu!!
This guy is saying what i do most of the time and even though i use this knowledge all the time i am always top ten with a lot of kills minimum of 10 kills each game
Great advice, I definitely need to learn how to fight better, seems like I can’t hit the broad side of a barn without a scope & all day to aim.
Hey Toby I've been watching your content for a while now and have improved as a player but at the same I haven't seen any success in actual games though. I've only improved mechanicly and at sniping but I am still inconsistent at those things in real games. The difference is is that now im sometimes capable of doing extremely impressive things. Im going to listen to your advice closely today, get on fortnite later and play the best I have in months💪
I simply quit playing zero build ranked because its way too sweaty. I still follow your advice and tips though obi.you are much appreciated dude. 🙏
my only struggle is when there 5 people left and I dont have access to heals on the last circle
How does this affect skill based matchmaking? If I get better, does my squad get matched with better players which means I still don’t get as many wins later?
I played Fortnite back before it was even battle Royale when it was just save the world then battle Royale came out I loved it. I had so much fun with it. Then they introduced turbo building during the time it was released. I was able to keep up with a lot of people, but I also wasn’t die hard. I also like to venture out and play other games as well, but I feel like doing so hurt my progress in Fortnite. I took a very long break from the game when they first introduced the airplanes. I just recently started playing again no and regular mode lol so Zero build it for now within the past two weeks since I came back to fort I have enjoyed it a lot. But I obviously still have a lot to learn one thing I can say I have no problem, taking gun fights with people due to my years of FPS gaming. It is more of getting used to the mechanics of the game again and learning the different weapons. Thank you for this video in the effort you put into it definitely gave me some things to think about!
Been playing ranked in season 2 and the amount of people that come out of hiding when you challenge the boss is ridiculous.
Game on! I'm interested in this challenge, I always feel like I try to be that aggressive player and I'm just getting outclassed in my fights. But sometimes when I do rewatch my games, I notice I'm passive a lot more than I realize.
