this is what i need, i'm great at long and medium range, especially with the twin mag. but close range is almost always what gets me. thanks jake!

same bro, I'm always looking to improve and I use the twin mag as well. the maven he was talking about is at Rumble Ruins for 800 gold and that Exotic works man. Good luck in your future games!

I can never get enough of these tips. 🎉

My gameplay has improved so much since watching your videos Jake, undoubtedly the best Fortnite creator on YT! Thank you Jake!

Thanks for the content Jake. It’s helpful to have these little references and “refresher” on important things like close combat ❤

Another amazing vid Jake❤

great video Jake, you did one of these at the start of the year and it was one of my favourite videos you did. Thanks!

I have always wondered why no game ever let you switch from left to right handed weapons. Talk about game changer.

Thank you for your videos you are my go to for playing and improving in Fortnite 🙂 I am not sure what I am best at maybe if there is a specific quest or goal I can focus it and get it done. Worst at confidence and mechanics like using shocks I need to practice. Currently I am working on the right shoulder peak and playing around cover have a lovely day

stay motivated ur videos helped me get to diamond ranked

Well done as always

I love that you refer to them as "engagements" makes me feel at home. Do I get scored for target selection and engagement technique?

You saved my ass with the ice wall tip. I was trying to secure island and some force user knocked me off four times, I ice walled every time. I ended up losing to the guy but def used up all his heals and pissed him off in the meantime.

Force push gives you shockwave effect you don't take fall damage. Rocket rams on the other hand...

Great video! Thank you! I’ve been working on finding my sensitivity settings! Plus the way you swap from smg to shotgun is a skill I highly desire!! Definitely going to try creative mode now and work on things!

Goated tips

Hi Jake, very nice video, thank you so much for your time and effort, these tips really helped out, to be clear, I haven't played Fortnite at all, but last week me and a good friend of mine started grinding no build Fortnite, your tips and trick really helped us out, we even got 3 victory royals in 30hrs of gameplay. Keep up the great vids mate! WWWWW

I’m best at long range. I’m terrible at close range but practicing a lot at it. Thank you for the creative codes. I’ve been using them and they are a big W.

12:39 the famous double-blank with the exotic Maven

Thanks for the advice , stopped plying fortnite season 2 season 1 .. played a handful of times no build and won 3 times knowing the meta

I know people don't like the new DMR, but personally I really love it. Like I just got 8 kills with the DMR.

Can you do a vid on what binds and sense you have one your controller, I know it’s personal preference I just struggle to find the right ads sense and yours looks perfect so I would like to know what it is

I wanted to thank you for your content. I returned to fortnite wanting to play zero builds but didn't know the meta. I have actually won a bunch of games. One was 15 kills.

W. When did you quit playing?

Playing Pixalateddreams’s Coney and Anvil FFA maps have exponentially boosted my close-range skill level.

Switching weapons back and forth is something I need to focus on. Gonna work on my keyboard bindings.

If you don't play builds I would make your shotgun bind to be scroll wheel up. It helped me a lot with being able to move around while swapping to it and it's very fast and easy to do

I hide behind my teammates. Works great.

My deficiency in game is my end game up close. I can fight up close decent as the match goes on, but Endgame i always either win my fight to get third partied or i just outright get dominated. I am exceptional with the Mid to long range weapons. Been good at them since i started playing with the hammer, striker burst, fantastic mid ranged they have had this go around.

if you have a 3 weapon loadout, would you rather use shockwaves or the ice wall

My issue is when someone jumps right in front of me and continues to jump around. I can't see shit and I'm firing wildly 😂

Take your time and make sure to only shoot when you know it's on point. You're gonna die but you'll get faster and more consistent over time and then you'll be scary to fight

The problem is Fortnite is still lacking some options to counter third parties that's why most of the players still relies on builds mode

Hey there! 🎮 I've been working on my Fortnite gameplay, and this video's been a huge help. Those close-range tips are gold! 😄

Im definitely best at close range fights. I love pump/spray combo and im good at weapon swaping. However, i have very little game sense in BR. Most of my games end with high elims, but rarely a crown.

If youre KBM this is fine but on controller this can sometimes mess up aim assist I do it myself sometimes tho out of habit but I would prefer not to unless I dont think the person is paying attention to me like i talked about in the video.

it seems like, the thing you are really good at is those medium long distances shots, i cant hit half as much as you, its like you can control the recoil perfectly while following the opponent movement.

Both my close and medium range need more fine tuneing but my long is horrible. FYI I'm on control. But your videos have helped a ton. Almost diamond rank this season

have a nice day jake

Last few days I've had so many top 3 finishes but lost. Almost every time it's to the heisted maven when I myself don't have one. I know with good play I should still be able to win more, but damn is that thing OP. I abuse it too when I have it, so not really trying to make excuses, I"m just surprised it hasn't been nerfed so a point where it's not so powerful. I miss the 50/50 battles of a regular maven vs a pump/smg/pump combo where more often than not the smarter/better player will win.

Thermal AR can be used mid and close its devestating especially with perks

Weaknesses? Ho boy, I just started playing in s4c2 so I have all the newbie weaknesses in terms of not really having the hang of simple mechanics. Bloom was hard to get a grip on, but it's fine 9/10 times even if I get a lil lazy in a fight if I just tap kinda quickly. Glider landing and juggling stamina is something I really really struggle with, though. I'm truly spoiled by apex on these two things alone. Solos is also challenging for me mainly because of the snipers in the game. If I stop for one second to check the horizon or heal, no matter how much cover I'm in, some sniper sniffed me out and bops me. Close range fights are fun though!

Quick question: I play on a PS5 controller, and I'm curious if there are any specific settings you recommend for weapon swapping? Thanks in advance! 👾

@EvolveJake

8 ай бұрын

not really I think pretty much everyone uses the default L1 R1 binds for swapping

What’s sensitivity level?

I’m on linear on controller and i suck at long range AR fights. I get really frustrated in zero build because a lot the PC gods with graphics turned down and shadows off absolutely laser me in the jungle when i can’t see them

Dude you have amazing aim! Even when they are out of a rift wtf 😂

The random crouching helps sm

combat, twin mag, turret, slurp and ice wall. For zero build of course.

I’d say I’m well rounded but need to work in playing defensively against good players.

Carry 12 shockwaves and always reposition when the fight isn't in your upper hand. The sign of a pro is maximizing fighting when you have the advantage then only

I keep switching between KBM and controller because I have much better aim on mouse , but much prefer switching weapons with the bumpers. Have you ever played KBM?

Recently changed from the PS4 to PS5 and the new controller. You'd think it wouldn't make much difference but my aim is now all over the place. Need to get used to the new controller.

About a month ago I took your advice about practicing in creative and played the map you showed in this video. I got annihilated. I played for a solid hour straight and killed three people the whole time. I spent more time dying than anything. I would land in the map and if I didn't shockwave away and hide, I was dead within two minutes. Bullets flying everywhere, it was chaos, I didn't even know who was shooting at me half the time. I went back to this map three more times and had the same result, just got hammered and I picked up no skills. I suck.

10 years or gears of war made me very good at close range fights and made right shoulder peeking something I don't need to think about doing. I just naturally peek right side if possible. Not great at long range ar fights. I'm 30 now and my aim is shit compared to what it was when i was 16.

I have thought about it but I lowered my sensitivity for more consistent heavy shooty shots for when the havoc pump was in the game so now I can't control the combat smg recoil as well. Thinking about switching back because the combat is so freaking strong. When it came out for the first time I carried 2 combats and an AR lol

The Fangtooth lately for me has been less reliable. Did it have a nerf in time between shots that I missed? It feels … off now.

I try to shockwave away and start the gun fight again if they have soaring sprints.

I am going to be honest, I don't know what is my strongest aspect of the game. Or the part of my game that I am the best at. Weirdly enough, game sense. Or I at least plan my rotations better than my friends, from what I see. But I think the game sense is still something I need to work on. What is my weakest aspect of my game? Long distance aiming, maybe. I am not the best with the Twin Mag AR even though it is my main AR. I might be actually decent at close range fights. But could still do better at.
