How to train your skills in Fortnite

Just watching someone do something, or talk about doing something, is not enough to improve your building technique alone. You’re going to want to find an environment where you can train these skills. If you have a dedicated training map you like to use, go ahead and load it up and practice the editing and building patterns.

It’s good to start in a stress free environment before attempting these techniques in an actual game of Fortnite in order to build your muscle memory. Once you think you can build and edit whatever technique you are trying to learn, go ahead and find a 1v1 training server where you can practice against an opponent.

1v1 maps are a great second step because you can practice your new technique without having to grind and loot in a Battle Royale game. Additionally, if you mess up or lose a fight, trying again is only a few moments away.

Once you’ve applied your new technique, go ahead and start up a normal game and see if you can find a situation to use your new skills. You might mess up a few times in a real game, but that’s normal. What matters is that you’re looking for a chance to put it to use. Good luck!
