It's so true about "peaking from the same angle" over and over. I see so many players do that all the time and it's a perfect recipe to get headshot sniped!

My biggest mistake is panicking at every single fight 💀

I might be the only one here but to me the main mistake that makes me lose mainly ALL my games is dying to another player

The biggest thing about Fortnite that players always mess up on is getting to excited your heart beating out of your chest you have already lost that fight, you got to learn to control that. Once you learn how to stay calm under pressure that’s when you start hitting your shots and winning 50/50 battles.

My issue with the riot shield is the break point to stun the opponent seems very inconsistent. Sometimes it takes little to no ammo to break, other times you have moments where you're dumping a few AR mags and it refuses to budge.

One small tip, when you kill a player dont immediately walk to their loot, its a habit i have and always have had, but especially from og season people only fight in 3rd party fights. So they will shoot you after youve won your fight.

The biggest thing that I do that is wrong is push people too hard without getting opening tags on them.

Im pretty sure my ego is what gets me killed the most 😂

I definitely need to learn to use cover. I often just come across a player, and just 50/50 them while jumping to avoid their shots, hoping my aim is better than theirs.

For me it's not knowing how to counter overly aggressive players and i also tend to tunnel on one person and then get shot by 3 people at once. I also sometimes find myself Ego Challing someone sniping when I don't have to, but i been working on that lately.

Pressing fire key with grappler does a melee attack that 1 shots riot shield. Feel like a lot of ppl don’t know this. Great way to deal with those shielders. Adds more value to grappler vs other movement options as well.

ive been taking way to many 50/50 shotgun fights and then just freeze up / dont move enough during shotgun fights

There are only 2 things that matter, The right shoulder peek and the Right foot creep

I run a sniper without any scope this season, and it's worked well for me. Basically turns it into a KILLER AR. For me, I think I need to just improve on knowing when to pressure and when not to pressure in end game situations.

It’s nice to see truly good videos. I see too many KZfaq vids that are unfortunately bad once I get into them. I really like how you stay on topic, say what you mean, you are intentional with tips that actually make sense, and you’re articulate. Way too often I see people giving ‘tips’ when they are actually just reciting gaming terms in general and it either doesn’t make sense or worse, it sends watchers in the wrong direction and overconfident thinking it was great. Keep it up.

I’m way more comfortable with sniping now, I use to carry bunkers for my third slot, but decided to swap it with a sniper and take natural cover. The only time I ever 50/50 players is in endgame when they approach my hiding spot since they’re unsuspecting.

Close range shotgun fights and unable to find contistent damage for the pump especially for ground loot

My main mistake is for sure tunnel vision, not knowing when to hold back or to assess the situation infront of me before reacting and jumping in blindly

Snipers are truly something to worry about this season. You really have to keep moving at all times, or be in a car or in cover a lot. Oddly enough, I won a match yesterday using a mythic sniper from WAAAYYY far away. I mean, like a half mile. Probably only my second match win ever using a sniper.

Great tips. Especially the one where you said just assume everyone has a sniper. Thanks for the video!

Your videos are always so honest, informative, and straightforward! Thank you so much!

I’m slowly learning to stop being a 50/50 dummy thanks for the video I really struggle with alot of these

ive got back into fortnite over the last two chapters and you have definitely helped me improve so thank you

Unless they revert the ARs to hitscan, this whole chapter will essentially be sniper dominated.

My biggest issue is not having a consistent drop spot and pushing a kid with a auto shotgun and just hoping I kill him first and also using the car as cover I never do that I just hop out and start blasting your videos help me a lot I appreciate what you do keep up the good work I’m definitely subbing for sure!!! Happy new year also

Your videos have vastly improved my play and just want to say thank you for your hard work making amazing content!

Zero build gang 👇

Great advice again! Thank you so much!!

Something I have been wondering is does the medallion circle center on the player or could they be even on the edge of the range. I find that it tends to update relatively frequently nearly centered right on them, so the size of the circle doesn’t really matter because I can assume a smaller circle

love your work mate! you've been a huge help getting me back into this game

Dying to the mythic auto shotgun and coming second every other game

Nice Video will try to improve those things, thx man

Hey Jake, I love your content. It really helps me. Thanks

My oldest son just introduced me to Fortnite about a month ago... Not sure if his mother will ever forgive him... I am not great, but not terrible either. I figured out pretty quick to just avoid the 50/50 scenarios and (if at all possible) only start fights on my terms. If I get tagged, I try to know when to hold em and when to fold em. My favorite loadout is Striker w/ vertical grip + brake, Frenzy / Thunder Burst w/ laser + brake, Reaper w/ Acog (I think they call it "P2X") + Suppressor. Then shield and Meds. I want to start working on mobility. Haven't done much with grapple / shock waves yet. Super fun game though!

Attachments are key. Give me the striker AR and sniper upgraded to my preferences and my chances of winning fights increases. It’s just difficult to get to the vaults a lot of the time given a lot of them are on the edges of the map (putting them in the storm early on) or hotly contested on the drop.

My bugaboo is probably not having a movement mechanic toward end game. If the last team is sweaty and you don't have one, odds are you lose.

I use the octane skin for sport cars, because is taller and can give you more cover than the default skin

Nice summary Jake. Question, are you sure you can shock wave a riot shielder? I am sure i tried twice and they went no where. I need to try again and save the video. I love to shock people into the storm 😂

Has anyone had issues with medallion players' circles disappearing? On the mini map and regular map.

Well done as always

every video i watch is making me better!

Thank u Jake

My main issue is getting second place a ton this season. My duo partner always goes down and it’s me vs 2 sometimes I clutch and take out one with a snipe or tag but I typically only am able to kill one on average and or get lucky and win the game. This season I’m at 14% win rate for duos on What could I do better to win in those scenario’s?

yeah learning to use the g wagon has helped me tremendously

Fortnite calls that jeep thing the trail smasher😂

Really should work on improving my aim. It's probably an attitude problem too. I do tend to panic a bit in close range fights, which leads to my aim going all over the place. I also sometimes go in without any opening hits too, which leads to 50/50 fights as you mentioned. A good tip too is to always check the load on weapons you pick up. I got the drop on a player recently. Was right behind him and I'd just picked up a purple auto shotgun. Unfortunately it only had one shot in the mag so my easy kill didn't go as I anticipated. He took the hit and then used the ballistic shield to end my game 😄

for me it’s just getting third partied and also sometimes i forget to reload my shotgun 😅

ur videos need to have 1M views this too good i be getting better everytime i watch a video 😂

Attachments are great but could be like pubg and get the different items on the ground would be great!! There is only a few locations on the map where you can custom your weapon!!

My lil bro plays builds mode but when I ask him “what would you do when you see an enemy squad in the open in zero build?” He said “go fight then in the open”😂

Snipers need an adjustment, wouldn't mind seeing the auto shotguns nerfed as well. I think snipers should be only from vaults or otherwise only in legendary versions because 90% of people are carrying one and in zero build the game is just a snipe fest which is fine, but I think they're too important in the current meta. Auto shotguns are hugely powerful too but I don't even know how they go about addressing that, probably a fire rate reduction would be a good start. The shield is also free wins in 90% of circumstances, I have no idea what they were thinking when they added it tbh, you just push up on someone and when they switch to something to spray you just shotgun them

My biggest mistake is when engaged in a mid-range fight I forget to jump around while shooting, I often just stand there shooting while taking one too many bullets to the face.

Thank god we got Sheldon Cooper teaching us how to fortnite

I’ve gotten killed by the new mantle mechanic 9/10 times love the new weapon mods and that there are no more hit scan weapons

Do you prefer to use an ar or smg for medium range weapon, I think both can be good at times.

JAKE YOUR ALMOST AT 100K 🎉🎉🎉

So what I kind of like to do is place a 90 and then do a for next to it and then do a stare and then pretend that I’m going onto the other side but where we just stay and catch them off guard with the snipe

The 2x p2 sharp shooter scope has glare in my games so I use the halo 1.5x.

To counter riot shield i just just a grenade type thing so the dud has to take cover, then i use ar.

Jake do you have a video on the best attachments for every gun? (Jake please respond)

The thing that screws me over is when ppl have the 4x scope on the ar. I keep thinking they have a sniper and it really sucks

Snipers are very dangerous, i got sniped from 3 feet, he was standing behind me.

The medallions do track the player in the center of the circle. The bounties are the ones not in the middle of the circle. At least that's my experience so far.

Jake, I feel like you're gonna have a great year. Happy 2024!

Good game play ❤

My issue is how me and another sniper are just locked in a spot and I can't scope down and precise enough but for some reason they will be behind cover and instantaneously as they peek I'm dead because somehow they managed to aim and hit me idk how

The first thing I do wrong is pick up the controller because I'm awful - then because I watch jake and listen I suddenly think I can do everything he does with the same swagger..... turns out I'm not jake I'm dead and loading the next one 😂

I had an idea for a video idea I think could be beneficial for many people - play a match and for every kill go in detail about why your opponent lost that fight. Thanks for the tips!

I'm getting out sniped, been improving but some people are just so fast on the scope. There have been 3 or 4 times this season where I've been head shot on a quick peek and seriously the glint only showed for a half second or less its like they tapped the aim and shot is there some kind of aim assist idk about or is this skilled players playing on keywords? Thanks for video.

what sens do u use

You can see at 5:17 that the SUV is called a trail smasher

I never peak the same angle and i never expect the other player to either lol

The grapple hook attack is not blocked by the ballistic shield

I just started playing fortnite in December and climbed to diamond 1. But now I feel like I’m just getting BOPPED in my 1v1s

The issue i am having this season is the hammer pump, it has the worst fire rate in the game and everytime i use it, after i shoot someone in close range it takes 10 seconds to shoot again and by the time i shoot it again i am already 10 hp

The mistake is that I always try to land hotspots with bosses and try to rush the boss but end up getting eliminated now I land at unnamed locations near the boss POIs

The mistake I keep making is going out in the open at any given point during a match and getting immediately head shot sniped

Attachments make a huge difference

This dude looks like Bazinga

Riot shields should break like any other item and where cani find more shockwaves

getting sniped in sniper duels and losing shotgun fights to the auto shotty are 90% of my deaths

The shield can block a shock wave.

for me its just my aim sometimes it hits hard like my snipers but ya my aim really is the only problem

Man emoted on ninja😂

For me its making the same peak every time

I pick up the medallion 😢 I wish epic didn’t nerf the medallions

1 round from gold lama backpack. I mess kids up that make great mistakes...

Could you do a video on build mode?

Whats the difference between left peaking and right peaking? - regards old man

Ahhh i do not like them riot shields 😂

I feel like ur just showing off in a good way lol

Choking shotgun fights and vault rats 💀

The vending machines are key

3:59 bro left faster then f**king sonic 💀💀

The other one is I don’t heal right away when I get shot😢

The glint is scope dependent not gun dependent.

My mistakes? Kids on my team. They want to do their own thing. Not a team.

Notice he’s not using an smg. It frees up a slot

I feel like a failure when I die

The AI bosses always are on my ass and someone will slide right up on me during the mean time
