Tips and Strategies: Distract Your Opponents

How do you distract your opponents when you need to take a minute and restore your health or shield?

When you are playing in squads or duos, it is easier because you could have one of your teammates distract your opponents for you. For example, you can tell your squadmates to charge at the opponents; This way, they are too occupied to know to look for the missing teammate, which is you. Meanwhile, remember to keep some small shield potions in your inventory because they are the best for a quick drink to restore your shield. Find a good hiding spot, like a bush, but don’t build. This is because doing that is basically like making footprints for others to come and track you. If you have no choice though, build a one-man fort. This is the same fort that was shown in the video from the last post. Build a tall tower with many walls and rooms, so that it confuses other players.

How Do You Distract your Opponents

You might be wondering what to do if you need to distract your opponents to help out a teammate instead? Well you can do that too!

The first and very best thing to use are some decoys if you have any. Decoys are perfect distractions, as they make a replica/ exact copy as yourself, so it confuses other players a lot. Watch the video below to learn how decoys work and where to find them:

Another reason why decoys are such amazing distractions is because when thrown, they explode in a cloud for a second or two. In that short time, you can run away and hide, while your opponents think that the decoy is actually you. Decoys can also shoot, so they are very realistic, and a trick to using it properly would be to stay hidden, a little behind your decoy, and shoot at the same time as it; This way, other players will be even more convinced that the decoy is actually you; so you will get the upper hand in a fight.

How To Lure Your Opponents to You

If you see some players, but don’t have a sniper to use against them, then you can lure opponents to yourself instead.

This will give you an advantage, because instead of you going to them, your opponents will come to you, and you can lure them into a trap. To do this, build two one-man structures as shown in the video the post before. Have some of your teammates go in the other building, while you and some of your other teammates go into your building. Then have you and your teammates start pretending to be in a fight and start shooting at each other (Note: Use a gun with ammo you don’t need, so you don’t waste it). The noise will definitely lure other players to your structures. And when you do spot them, they will not be able to do anything as you have already thought ahead and built your indestructible structures. You can afterwards kill them from on top, without any problem, as you have the higher advantage.

Fortnite -Tips and Strategies to Winning a Fight

Fortnite tips and strategies will come in handy when you want to improve your building or shooting skills. So here are some that you can use any time in the game!

Building

The first thing to do in a fight is to place a few walls between your opponents. If you practice your building techniques everyday, you will get better, and more importantly, faster!

This will help you because your opponents will be confused about where you are when you constantly keep building. The trick is to stay on top of your structures; This is so that you can still see other players, but they have no idea where you are. Build something that looks like this:

This way, it will take longer for your opponent to break the base. And by the time they do, you would have already killed them. This is why you should consider building a few or more walls between you and other players. Also, remember to build with bricks or stone, so it will take longer to break the base of your structure.

Try not to build too high, as other players can break your base. This will cause you to plummet down to the ground, which no one wants.

The main types of buildings are walls, ramps, pyramids, and bases. Learn about how all these can really help you during a fight in the video link down below:

Shooting Strategies

  1. In a fight, when your gun is loading, don’t wait for it to load fully, instead switch quickly to another gun that uses different ammo

  2. Practice on your aim, while this sounds easy, for most people, this is what they need to work on because their aim is going somewhere else:

  • Always use Snipers for long-distance shooting
  • Build yourself a wall and stair between you and your opponent before sniping so that you can shoot easily. This will also prevent them from sniping you as well.
    • When your sniper reloads, take a step back on your stair, so the opponents don’t shoot you while you’re reloading
    • To make it easier, build a window in the middle of your wall:
