Can anyone give me any tips for playing solo on fortnite? When I play in squads I usually do a lot better, think it's down to communicating with mates. How does one transfer this to the solo mode?

I’ve won a fair few solo games on it and I’m no legend at FPS games. It’s a totally different beast on solo to multiplayer, mostly it’s about enjoying the last few engagements instead of allowing the nerves to get the better of you. A few tips you might find useful- it galls me to suggest this and it’s actually something I rarely do but once you take fire, just build a wall. Build a ramp and build it swiftly. 90% of the time you will last long enough to either run away or get some healing or just simply find out who’s shooting you. Always creep. You’ll get there far later but no one will hear you on the way. Also, if your in a one on one, get good at jumping and shooting, it’s another tactic I hate but it’s kept me alive many a time. They constantly nerf and buff different weapons so unfortunately that green auto shotgun may be lethal one week and the next week it’s as effective as the sub machine gun. Never use the sub machine gun. If your going to snipe, expect a good kill rate but someone is going to hear you and snake up behind you. In the final two, don’t accidentally dance. Avoid busy bus drops. Glide as late and as far as you can from the bus route and just run in late with the cloud of death, looting where possible. You’ll get caught out many a time but sometimes the circle will fav our you completely and you’ll have plenty time to loot. Use bushes to camp (it’s a legitimate strategy) but don’t use the mobile camaflague bush, it doesn’t do a thing except draw unwanted attention. Don’t over loot- if you have a decent shotgun, full health, full shield and a spare med pack/shield juice and a rifle you like, you are ready to sneak into the final 5. AT THE END In the last few circles unless you are building, find a nice spot to hide and try see where the other few are. Avoid looting anyone who gets killed around you as the inevitable sniper in their built tower will annihilate you but if you do need that golden scar, loot and move back and forwards so a player can’t pick you off too easily. Try to stay hidden and let them kill each other until it’s down to just two. Hopefully the zone will be kind and if it’s not, move early. Last bit of advice, if you are continually finishing in the top 5/3 you are doing it right. You’ll only need a smidgen of luck to get the win. Whenever it comes. This in only one slow way to play, if you want to go loud that’s something else entirely. Really hope this has helped. Best of luck. Hope you get that elusive first win.

Cheers for the advice mate! I tend to stay on the outside and go for loots and materials! When I get to the last 10 I get really nervous unfortunately! It’s a great game though!! I’ll try some of your pointers! Anyone on here playing it?

I have finished second about ten times. I can't get the win.
I will have to practice my building as I'm not great.i try to edit a door or something and I end up dying.

You are doing it right. A little bit of luck is all you need. Try sneaking in under the builds if they are a tower in the last 3 or 4 and a few grenades or pick axes to its base will serve you well. Even if there are other players, they’ll likely leave you to it until you take the tower down. (Most of the tine)
