Watching videos like this make me wanna actually play the game. I’m very good at aiming but building just isn’t my thing. But the tips and techniques actually help me understand the game more

[@Xoilen]

The extra peaks section might be some of the most useful tips I've ever seen in this game, it's all about getting angles

[@Kingsbeak]

Thank you, I have close to probably 700 hours in Fortnite and never got the hang of building because the other videos were just too advanced and it was just a skill barrier for me. This really helped and looks like something I will be able to easily implement in gameplay

[@iziqx]

even tho i consider myself a non-bigginner; the peaks part was really helpful and made me realise my common mistakes and why people damage me when i think i have the advantage but really im just making wrong peaks

[@CuberBeats]

Billy, you’re one of the best Fortnite KZbinrs I’ve seen. They are high quality, up to date, easy to understand and really amiable. I’ve learnt a lot from your previous vids, and I hope that others learn from you the same way I did. Keep up the good work Billy!

[@waynefilkins8394]

This video is exactly what I was looking for. I learned some basics earlier like 90's and just building a box with window, and it helped slightly in a game (took 1st mostly because I was able to distract people and keep them busy longer with building while my beast teammate killed the rest lol) but what really got me wanting to learn this stuff is I watched my nephew he's like 21 (I think) and been playing since the beginning, and he got into a couple build wars and just completely embarrassed his opponents. The way he was thinking, and they were thinking even, was on a whole different level. They all knew exactly what they were doing and I was just trying to keep up with what was even happening...while spectating even lol. He was always tracking them, and I kept losing track, and he was watching their weapon, baiting the rocket launcher like moving a wall, then putting back up, then this long like waiting period where neither of them could do anything, and he still won it somehow tho cuz he had them trapped lol. There was just so much going on and I was just in awe...never was too crazy about fortnite but that was really interesting to watch.

[@UldisBiz]

IMHO, it's the most complex game I've ever seen. Pisses me off to see how my 14-year-old son is taking out squads alone by just outsmarting them, while I die every time someone pushes me. And, I'm spending hours watching videos and practising in creative while he just plays when I can join him. It's like a game of chess where you have to decide and execute within a fraction of a second, and one wrong decision can cost you a game. I admire people like Billy who are good at it but I've been close to giving up BR so many times. In Zero Builds I feel fairly competent but BR is just a completely different experience. Crazy complex stuff and everyone seems so sweaty these days...

[@YHWHsam]

@@UldisBiz it's so easy to panic in this game and that's the biggest killer for me at least

[@UldisBiz]

@@YHWHsam good point. But to be fair, I panic because I die pretty much every time someone pushes me. So discouraging. Not giving up, though. Just want to learn enough to carry my own as a team member for my son.

[@YHWHsam]

@@UldisBiz you're already doing more than most dads by even playing video games w him at all. i'm glad you wanna improve for your son and I hope that goes well for y'all!

[@imfasterlol]

@@UldisBizused to play this game a ton and got very good (can still win any pub match I get into and could easily get high kill wins in highest level of ranked). The main issue with people trying to get better is simply being able to multi task. Getting better at your movement and allowing muscle memory to do needed things in fights or just creative is key to becoming a better player. You should never be thinking about how you wanna take their box or do different moves, it should be automatic and you should be able to take in context clues in order to always make a good play. The best way to get better is to simply identify what you’re bad at and practice that as much as you can. For example if you are horrible at building, don’t watch best retake tutorials and advanced building mechanics, start slow. Your aim should be to be competent in each aspect of the game until you start trying to be very skillful. If you already think a lot and have knowledge of the game, you will be much better than most players once your mechanics catch up. It’s a game of multitasking and the best players or the ones who aren’t thinking about the big things, they think about the things that will always make them win.

[@UldisBiz]

Brilliant! For a casual beginner-level player, that's exactly what I needed. Appreciate you and your videos so much, Billy. For some of us relatively old folk like me all this building and game sense stuff doesn't come easy to even understand... even harder to master. But your videos are so helpful!

[@ricksanchez8051]

I remeber the OG days back when Fortnite just launched... Good old times...

[@bivens0723]

You are flat out the goat at coaching. I watched your last video on peakers advantage and i didnt even know that existed. It has made a huge difference in my game play and i have grown tremendously in skill from just that one video. Thank you so much for all your videos and i hope you continue doing these i know its helping so many peopke get better..

[@ooterzug]

Incredible breakdown!!! I really appreciate this. I'm good at boxing up based on your previous videos, but the peaks from the box are new for me. I will work on them!

[@Aaronius_Maximus]

This is a great, short and down to the specifics video. Thanks!! When I first started trying to build I found that playing0 "Save the World" was the best beginner building practice. That game really helps put you in scenarios to build certain structures or other things.

[@luclawson4732]

I've been playing this game since C1S2 and you've pointed out a couple things that I recognize I need to improve on. Thanks for the great content!

[@thesovietburber8823]

This is the first time I’ve watched a video like this and it actually helps

[@wyattb9578]

I've been playing Fortnite inconsistently for about a year and a half, and I've always struggled with building. This was by far the best video I've watched on how to improve, thank you.

[@MiDaY_i]

Love your tutorials NGL...you're one of the firsts i started watching back in 2020 when i started learning how to build.

Does anyone else also need this video after playing for years?

Yes

I have 2000 hours in fn and I still learned a lot of important concepts from this video that I didn't learn from just playing the game. Great topics and perfectly explained!

[@coopfg]

My guy, please touch grass you’ve spent 80 days on the game, you would have to spend 5 years playing the game every day for an hour to get that many hours in game

[@TheForadotempo]

This video is totally awesome! Its been a journey learning from you. Thank you Sensei Bicep

[@notffreak]

Such a great video. I'm returning to Fortnite after 5 years of inactivity and I must say this helps A LOT, thank you Billy!

[@Averege_Kimiko_enjoyer]

Did you improve?

[@notffreak]

@@Averege_Kimiko_enjoyer being honest, for whatever reason i didn’t really like chapter 5, but yeah? this actually helped. I almost learned from scratch and i think for a few weeks of a little practice i did great. you just have to learn WHAT to do, then master the skill for years. good luck

[@Juno006]

I remember the good ol' days, watching the onesie skin teach me fortnite, good times

[@WillyEast]

You are one of the better youtube channels for explaining concepts. You do a great job at explaining hard concepts for beginners like me. Thank-you.

[@dolosiphone6650]

He said build first fight later, honestly that’s the truth but a lot of the time it’s pre fires so you shoot someone then throw a wall up in there face so they can’t get a shot back

[@ShawnsLoop]

This really does depend. If you have good movement, good aim, and good situational awareness, you CAN often get that first tags on a player, and then box up to finish. That said, if you run up against someone equally as experienced, or better, then the build first can give you room to work with. OR, if you get caught out in the middle of open ground or a field, and there's no natural cover, build first, shoot second is a good habit to make. How many times have you gotten the first tag on a user, only to end up losing the encounter. It's situational and it depends. But to help build the muscle memory, I've been trying to FORCE myself to build first. It forces me to work on my build mechanics in real fights. The problem is that the shoot first encounters I win are probably against easier players. Well, you should be using those easier players to practice your build mechanics. Trying to practice build mechanics against an experience player is really hard as they can often use movement and other tactics to pressure you into making mistakes. Anyway, just my thoughts on it. It can be useful to force yourself to build first in some game sessions, just to practice it live.

[@tommyb1two3]

Amount of skill it takes to master building is insane. It takes hours and hours of practice it seems. I feel like most of these types of videos are for intermediates as opposed to beginners because they explain the strategies but during actual fights all of these things have to happen very quickly and you kind of have to learn them slowly before speeding up. Also all the key presses you have to make when going from building different structures to harvesting tool to switching weapon to editing. It takes immense muscle memory to do those things quickly.

This is by far the most educational Fortnite video I've ever seen. You've just won a subscriber and a fan.

Been rewatching this many times. Absolutely love how you explain things. One quick question: I'm getting better at quickly boxing up but I often end up facing the wrong direction (not the direction of my opponent where I started boxing up). Any tips? Currently, I just try to be conscious about it in creative but I can't get it right 100% of the time.
