Representing the nintendo switch players. I'm trying to be the number 1 player on switch. From watching Jake's videos, I went from getting top 50 to top 5 on the majority of matches within about a month or so.

I play on switch as well, and I have a pro controller with paddles. I'm still getting used to using the jump in the back of the controller and make simultaneous aiming moves but I agree that for controller players this is ideally better.

[@rustyshackleford2222]

I play for about an hour or two every day and I can honestly say I probably won't improve much more than I have. I'm probably a 4 out of 10. My problem is I'm old and my reflexes and hand eye coordinaiton are shot. Decision making skills slow way down at 50+ years of age LOLS.

[@UzumakiTaco420]

hey bro, i feel you. But you can really train your mental focus through meditation, think about it like going to the gym and training, but instead youre sitting and training your mind to stay calm and focus. You know those sweaty moments where you heart is beating fast and everything seems to being going fast paced? you can slow that down with slow deep breaths. sounds dumb ik, but it really helps clearing your mind and locking into the game, it takes time tho

[@Outlawproductions582]

You can definitely improve but i don't think you will be as good as theses 12 year olds that play 9 hours a day

As someone who plays on a Dualsense Edge I personally have been using flick stick with Gyro aiming. It's been pretty good for me so far and I'm hitting a lot of shots even at far range. I just gotta work on my movement.

[@airborne19j]

Quick weapon swap at least on console is way to buggy still. Expect to constantly switch weapons, the icon move to the new weapon but you dont actually switch weapons. Especially when going from items with a longer animation like gloves or heals to weapons rapidly. When it works it's a great setting and frees up a bind but I had to switch back normal swap because it was happening way to many times per match and costing me to many matches

[@xxFireFighterxx]

I use Razer wolverine ultimate controller. It has all the buttons I need for every shooter game I play.

[@Tinywampa1]

Learning tips from Jake and getting a paddle controller were the things that improved me the most, even when I hardly get to play. I got a great deal on a PowerA fusion pro 2 Xbox controller, works great for me.

[@OKGJedi]

W video for those that haven’t seen it before Jake. Always great tips. I use an Xbox Elite 2. I use a paddle for sprint, one for jump and one for crouch (the 4th is for taking clips, i did have it set for reload but it’s not necessary). Absolute game changer of a controller. My game went to another level when I started using it.

[@johngrayer8529]

The only problem with controller vs keyboard is swapping weapons. The quick swap is good if it worked properly. It is buggy as hell with the gloves. If you swap weapons the weapon changes in the slot but not in the game. Ie you will swap out the gloves to a shotgun but the glove recticle stays on but you can’t shoot.

These videos helped me tons when I played controller. Switched to K/M earlier this year.

[@ct1236]

5:14 I have said this for years since playing BF4. The reason I bought the elite controller for the Xbox and have used it since. The ability to jump and interact/reload without taking my thumb off the sticks. I then got rid of crouch/slide from the right stick and moved it to a paddle as well. It started so I didn’t randomly prone shot mid fight in BF4 and COD

[@MrButchersTube]

My only problem with controller is i sometimes get stuck trying to switch seats in the cars. It's like i get in the seat below the turret and can't use either slot for several clicks.

[@TheBaze-qi9vx]

Ive found it pretty helpful to bind crouch to right trigger and switch my slide time to almost instant. This allows me to constantly slide around the map and slide while adsing, shooting, and turning. (I play claw grip on xbox)

[@brianjones8673]

I play switch and Xbox. There's definitely a difference between them but I have fun on both and they usually get different bugs. Still fun

[@dynosaund]

I use Xbox elite 2 with all paddles, my paddles are set to a, x, LB, and RB, having the paddle for jump is essential. I also learnt to aim my shotgun headshots by just jumping and firing - you learn the timing of when to shoot and I can get consistent headshots like that, which gets around the difficulty getting first shot on controller aim

[@jeremiahalexander4626]

Question: How do you reload/gain shields while sliding? Every time I try, I end up just crouching and walking. Do you need to have a lot of momentum in order to pull this off?

[@user-gh9ss2ri8m]

Talk about gyro if you could. My ps4 controller is broke on the joystick and I got no $ (hence the free game) but no tips or help out there

10:52 Bushs are a good example for this . That's not true Jake, if you play on a console, there are aimassists in and around bushes. At least on Playstation, I've tested it, try playing on a Playstation where I was sikring in a bush and aim at an opponent standing just outside the bush, then your aim changes from white to red and it does the same when you aim on a bush and there is one inside the bush, you have to get close, but it works. And that's because that's the way aimassist works when you're close and at medium distance, when you play on a Playstation and maybe also other consoles plus when you play on an android device, try it yourself if you don't believe me.

[@OKGJedi]

The Crosshair turning red is not aim assist. Aim assist slows your sens when you’re locked on a player. That isn’t as strong in and around bushes.

there’s no aim assist when in a bush or aiming at a bush.

I don't usually care about people not using weapons in the current loot pool unless I die to the MK Alfa... then I get one and target the person that killed me with it until I'm satisfied or they leave the game I didn't play when it was in the loot pool but it's still my favorite weapon by far for some reason I feel like the aim assist on that thing is just unmatched it feels like cheating.

Mr. Jake if you find time to reply I would very much appreciate it. I've been playing Fortnite since February 2024 on a high end pc using a nintendo switch pro controller wirelessly connected via 3d0 adapter. I'm pretty sure I do not get any aim assist at all. It could be for the very reason you listed of touching mouse or keyboard as I tab out to start recording on obs. Not sure I can avoid that issue. Well I guess I dont have a question exactly. I'm subbed and I watch your videos,your controller skills exceed mine and I'm just trying to improve my aim. I played exponential this whole time but recently swapped to linear around 36 36sens and 9 9 ads. But I do use look dampening and trying to find the sweet number. I will try 0 look dampening too since I havent yet. This entire year of playing fortnite my aim has been off this entire time.

@@EvolveJake Thank you for a speedy response I apologize mine wasn't. But no gyro is and never was on. My aim has improved greatly due to training and outlining the things I do wrong and working on eliminating those issues. The switch to linear is feeling better by the day. Aim is smoother than when I was on exponential. One issue I have is its hard for me not to move the analog 100% in any direction so hipfire aim was hard to be accurate but i dont need a sens too slow because theres a thing as too slow on aim. Thats why i was on expo for so long,I also use a bit of look dampening. tldr:im improving still
