Fortnite Situational Building Strategy

When you are trapped in a fight, and just can’t think of anything else, try confusing your opponent. It is super useful and can be helpful when you want to get the fight over with.

Let’s say that your opponent has built a box around them like this:

Now, every time you try to break down a wall, they keep rebuilding it. So instead, try to confuse them. First, place a stair in front of their box. Then, go up the ramp, break the pyramid that is on top of their box, and immediately place a pyramid of your own.

This next part is a little tricky, and will require some practice. But, now you will edit the pyramid that you put on top, so that it allows you to have a view of the mat your opponent has put as their roof. Your goal is to break that roof, but to confuse them so you are able to do it without them rebuilding.

Okay, now you put a stair to the left or right of their box. This will trick your opponent into thinking you are about to jump down. And you are going to do that. Jump down onto your stair, shotgun their side wall, but go BACK up to the top of their box. So while your opponent is trying to replace the wall that you broke, you quickly shoot their roof with your shotgun, and add your own roof. The reason you use a shotgun is because it is more effective than using your pickaxe, and you will be prepared with a gun incase the other player tries to shoot you. So now that you have added a roof, quickly edit it, so that you can see your opponent. Switch to your shotgun, and finish them off.
