Fortnite, the most popular game of the moment is now on the most powerful mobile platform. Of course, we are talking about Android, and it is that Epic Games launched the beta version a few weeks ago for many of the compatible devices. Are you one of the lucky ones to have Fortnite for Android? Next, we will tell you some tricks that you should keep in mind.
Plan your fall
I'm not talking about falling in a “safe place” but planning your fall.That is to say, where you are going to fall, in what place and if that location is the most correct For example, you decide to fall in "Dicted floors" try to fall in a building where not many people go, the furthest from the bus area. It is not recommended to drop in desert locations, such as a house or cabin, as it is likely that you will find very loose weapons.
Sort inventory
The inventory is where items and weapons are stored. You will see a bar in the lower central area where objects, weapons, shields are adjusted... Keeping it tidy is very important for combat. For example, if you use more a hunting rifle, I put in the right zone to press before. If the shotgun is your most used weapon after the rifle, put it in the second location. I recommend keeping the shields and bandages in the left area, then the objects or grenades and finally the weapons.
Don't forget about traps and objects that remain on surfaces. Sort them according to your order of preference. For example, if you think you're going to use the shuttle, add it first. To do this, you just have to click on the box until it appears.
Drop inventory items
If you want to drop an item or weapon that you don't use and is taking up space in your inventory, you can drop it. There are different ways. The easiest is by clicking and dragging out from the bottom bar of the inventory You can also do it by clicking on the backpack. Finally, if you click on a weapon it will be exchanged for the one you have in your hand. Therefore, it is advisable to have the weapon you want to trade ready.
In the V5.40 update Fortnite allows you to drop items from your inventory when you are taking a shield, selling yourself or taking a straw. Additionally, you can now drop all stacked items at once from your backpack.
Changes the location of controls
Epic Games has defaulted the controls in Fortnite for Android. For example, the fire button is on the right side, the inventory bar in the lower area, etc. I personally like the placement of the buttons, but I understand that other users may not find it comfortable or the buttons may be too small. Don't worry, this can be changed very, very easily. We can adjust the buttons, change their size or position in the UHD tools of the system. To do this, tap on the drop-down menu at the top and click where it says “HUD Layout Tools” You will directly enter the interface and you can start moving the items. Adjust them where they suit you best. Of course, remember that later in the game they could bother you.
My advice is to start a solo game in “Playground” mode. Since Fortnite allows you to change the controls in the middle of a game, you can apply and test until they work for you.
Customize shooting mode
Another very interesting trick, and one that we have already discussed in depth in this post, is to change the shooting mode. It is also done from the HUD optionsand you can choose three different modes, the most recommended for beginners is automatic shooting. The game will shoot for you, all you have to do is aim.
Check the challenges from the game
Another very simple trick. If you have uncompleted battle pass or challenges, you can watch them, even if you are in a match.If you touch the map, the most recent ones will appear in the right area. If you want to see the complete ones, go to the menu in the upper area and click on challenges. Now, select the weekly challenges you have pending.
Runs automatically
Tap twice on the virtual Joystck so that the lock is generated and your character can run automatically. In this way you will not have to keep holding the button all the time. To stop it, tap on the screen or on the button.
Turn voice chat on or off
Fortnite for Android already has voice chat. This can be activated or deactivated in the game settings, and we can also do it from the games.
If you want to have it disabled permanently, go to the game settings from the menu. Click on the nut and click on the speaker icon that is in the third position.You will see that voice chat appears in the “activate/deactivate” options Deactivate it if you do not want to show voice chat. Remember that you can also do this from the game.
Another way to activate it is in games. When the voice chat is in use, a microphone will appear in the upper area, a small icon. Pressing it will activate or deactivate itself.
Play solo in any mode
In Fortnite you can play solo in any mode, even those that are in a squad. Enter the different modes and select the one you prefer. You will see that, in the side area, just above the “Accept” button, there is one that says “complete” If we press, the option of not filling will be activated, and you will enter the game alone, without teams. Of course, the other players may have entered squad mode, so you have to be careful.
Trick for advanced: how to use a portable crack and pick up a weapon
Fortnite added a few months ago the portable rift, an object that is kept in the inventory and that allows us to rise to use the parachute . This object takes up space in our backpack, and when we use it, it will be freed up.
You probably didn't pick up that item at one time because you wanted something better. But there is a little trick to use the crack and pick up the item. It's simple, but requires some practice. First of all, put the rift in your inventory and stand near the item you want to grab next. Now, use the crack and quickly click on the object. It is important that you pick up the item immediately after you press the button to apply the rift effect. It will do a trade, but the rift will already be gone created and you can use it.
