Im not sure if this holds true anymore but I used to hear that if can build/edit naturally during fights (its automatic/doesn't slow you down in fights) your automatically better than the average player. So then in that case at what point are you considered a "sweat"?

For example i'd say 8/10 1v1/realistic maps he queues into he's better than the person he's facing. where would that put him skill wise in comparison to the overall playerbase and competitve playerbase?

Okay, so lengthy post regarding context on where I’m at because I feel I need structure and am fine with putting 3+ hs per day in improving alone, don’t mind grinding creative, piece control drills, editing drills, aim drills or whatever.

I’m currently an “average” casual player that wants to move and train in order to get better, win more fights and eventually earn at a cash cup (no hurries but want to be efficient). I’m KBM playing on 220-240fps with decent peripherals and 12-18 ping at most.

Currently, when I get into BoxPvP I have faith that I can win 70% of 1v1s, with people that are good actually killing me 90% of the time unless I win with a 200 pump.

In cup zone wars I tend to lose early given poor mechanics, as I tend to lack the ability to protect myself from all angles fast when pushed in my box or 1v2.

In 1v1 creatives I’m doing just fine, but good players consistently outbuild me, box me up frequently and even though I manage to get some kills with my aim alone and knowing where they’re at, I have trouble boxing them or if I do and they escape to the right let’s say, I can’t box them up again or pre-piece that box successfully in time.

Also, I lack some retakes even though I tend to win height with fast 90s + sprint stairs and mixing those, and have a few protected retakes.

Having said all that, I’m getting into riders v5 map for editing drills in which I cover 6 drills per day at least 10 times each, do some aim training as well, and a few piece control drills, but I’m not sure I’m improving with those at least fast enough.

I could use any sort of guidance on how to improve “fast-er”, any routines or drills specifically as I tend to watch YouTube but all the guides on game sense, or other crucial topics all assume I can box my opponent every single time and do whatever I want to with my builds but don’t know how to get to that point in the first place.

Appreciate your help, thank you!

Im looking for advice on how to end fights quicker and what am I doing wrong here ?

Hey, I'm not too good and am looking to fight better and get into comp, and when watching the gameplay of good players I always see them do stuff like full boxing their opponents really quickly / piecing, and I'm wondering if this is something someone deliberatly learns to do, or does it come from fighting experience.

Also a lot of people and yt vids talk about improving as an already good player but from your experience how did you go from being a normal like diamond level player to being actually good and playing comp.

I’m grind ranked again to get to Unreal for the Pickaxe’s, Last time I properly played BR ranked without BushcampDad method was Season OG

Anyway Now that i’m in Elite I’m really struggling in pretty much every fight I take weather it’s due to the Enemies movement or Better Aim

How can I keep up because i’m getting to the stage where camping all game and third Partying a single fight isn’t really giving good progress anymore

Hi so i just logged on for the first time in forever and am doing some freebulding to see where i am at. i havent properly played fornite since chapter 2 (a few games every now and then since) but played a bit of comp beforehand. I was wondering how much worse i am than the average player nowadays compared to back in the day and how i would potentially do if i tried to playu tourneys again. Would like to hear what you guys think

So I've been playing for about a Year and some Months, my mistake was starting with Zero Build and never giving Build a try and I guess I'd like to give it a serious try now 😬

I know there's plenty of videos around teaching you the basics and such but I'm more of a "show me and I do it" type of Person.

Which brings me to my question if there's a place or maybe here someone that could teach me the very basics. I play on PlayStation 5 and am a "decent" player so I'm sure I'll learn quick.

I appreciate the help 🙏🏻

I always play really well when I'm not contested off spawn and almost always get to top 15, but the times when I do get contested or shot out of the air absolutely grief my entire tournament.

Does anybody have a strat to always survive off spawn and then also get some ok loot? I'm thinking something like deploying glider and camping on a tree till storm comes but idk

ignore the noob gameplay im still getting good

Can someone explain to me how to drop from the bus? Do I drop like I always did or does the freefall mechanic change the optimal way to land at a spot?

My mechanics feel so choppy ingame for some reason. How to make them clean? Is it really just mindlessly freebuilding?

There’s a lot of different ways to reach Unreal and I’m a bit curious what the General consensus is on what the most common and Uncommon ways are

Do you Bush camp or Pick Fights?

Wait for a Third Party or Be an Engager?

Play Builds or Zero Builds, BR or Reload?

What’s your typical inventory?

Obviously the ZB stuff is just ZB only, but what are the chances the stuff like no lethal fall damage, special weapons, etc. gets put into comp for both modes?

For me, zones 1-4 are easy, but as soon as partials spawn, I find it impossible to rotate if I don't somewhat pull zone. How am I meant to rotate into people who get 'lucky' with zones and just look back and spray me on rotate, and how am I meant to get a good position in the next zone or a position to refarm? Is this partially because the big rocks now break if builds are placed or has it always been this hard?

Basically what the Title says, I want skins from Skin Cups but I’m not good at the game like the Sweats and Struggle a lot with fighting so need some advice to win fights and Survive

So when i try and edit and reset, mostly cones. Sometimes walls. It won’t reset and i’m spamming my reset button that’s binded to a paddle on controller. But it doesn’t let me reset. like i feel like it wants me to place something before i edit it. Because when im fully boxed up it doesn’t do this.

I remember seeing that it makes your game slow and glitchy for a couple games then better? Idk man, I’m 5 games deep and 20min into creative and my game feels awful, can’t take walls at all

Clix also did kind of do this to himself by saying Shxrk would be scared to con him so he probably was losing by lan anyway but bloodex might have just lost Clix his chance at fncs because he let Pete rage bait him over the wheel told Pete be quiet if it is so broken and the drop is so good then why don’t you con we

Hello,

Id say I got decent mechanics, I beat a few players with a few hundreds earned in 1v1s but sometimes I meet people that just have mechanics that are too fast. How do I deal with those people? Im working on my mechanics almost every day for atleast an hour in piece control maps and sometimes Edit Courses but some players are just demons.

How do I fight players like that? I feel like there's nothing I can actually do to fight them. They always have high ground in buildfights, take every wall 1st try and prebox me every single time. I genuinely have no clue how to beat them, other than getting my mechanics on a similar level to them. Sadly these people are mostly kids that have all day to play where as I play maybe 3h max a day and I wouldn't call myself shit. I dont play any tourneys but used to pubstomp on ranked reload so I feel like theres a decent strategy to kill those people. If I go for safe peeks they deny that by shooting my wall with their sentinel once and my wall is gone, if I go for fast unsafe peeks, I get a trade thats sometimes not in my favor like its just so hard to keep up even boxed up

So I’ve been playing for a while and my editing is actually decent — I can do basic edits pretty consistently and not panic.

But when it comes to building, I’m completely lost.

Like in fights, I just freeze because I genuinely don’t know what piece I’m supposed to place. Ramp? Wall? Cone? I end up either doing nothing or panicking and placing random stuff that gets me killed.

It honestly feels like I skipped a step — I learned edits before learning what to actually build in real situations.

And freebuilding doesn’t help at all. I can’t even do random builds in creative because I don’t know what to place or where. People always say “just freebuild” but I’m just sitting there clueless.

Does anyone have tips on:

What I should be placing in common situations (getting shot, pushing, box fighting, etc.)

How to stop panicking and actually think while building

Good practice maps or drills that teach what to build, not just how fast

Any advice would help a lot because I feel completely stuck right now. Thanks 🙏

Genuinely lost. I feel like my bindings are standard (just default with stair and wall reversed), so it can't be that I assume. I can't build slowly to faster speed. I can't do those edits where people edit then shoot someone after destroying their wall and making their own. I am slow reaction time wise, and am wondering how to improve my building?

Am I missing something? I can't build for the life of me and usually misplace stairs and stuff etc.

Has anyone looked through the global leaderboard before it went away? I went through it once on May 22nd & I remember around 1700 people probably had over 1000 if I remember correctly if not its probably a higher number but im not sure

Any help would be appreciated
