"I often know the mistake I'm making but do it anyway for the rush." Yep, I know that feeling. lol

I'm fairly new to the game and I noticed I've had more fun dropping into the high risk zones where other players will likely drop. I've had more victory royales from sneaking and playing it safe but sometimes it didn't feel as fun because I was just moving slowly through the map and there wasn't action. I'm all for watching the high risk plays because there seems to be more skill involved if you come out on top consistently. You can make it to the final 10 in a match with poor gear just by hiding the whole time.

wow this guy seems pretty good at the game. I'll need to take notes

Without question, the higher action gameplay is more fun to watch. We don't want to see you hide in a bush for 10 minutes.

I play a lot like this guy I realize. Some things that I’ve been noticing that increase my odds damn near by 100% in every fight are: 1. Traveling slowly, but smoothly to every zone. Not too fast, to get spotted by other players and get shot at, but not too slow to where I’m always playing catch-up with the storm. Deliberate enough though, so that I always see my enemy before they see me (take a knee behind trees, scan the hills, at the base of other trees, valleys, etc). 2. Not always firing the moment you see another player. If you’ve got good cover or have enough of a tail to follow, subdue them until they put themselves in a more compromised position that will have a deceased chance of escaping from. 3. Deployable cover is a MUST. A lot of people understand this concept, but don’t truly think about it until they’re spectating the guy that was just shooting at them a second ago. The moment you leave cover, YOU’RE OPEN. If you’re traversing valleys or plains and you start getting lit up by someone who’s been tailing you (tailing is super important), you’re just waiting to get eliminated. You have to remember that once you leave cover, you’re a moving target. 3. Land at POI’s that have plenty of concealment (walls, trees, boulders, etc). The more cover you can have around yourself, the safer you’ll be. On the flip side, your enemies will also have more cover and concealment; this is where moving slowly, smoothly and deliberately come in. Learn how to navigate towns and forests to take the paths that have the least likelihood of being seen, and that have the best angles over the POI. 4. Third-partying is a really easy way to get a lot of loot, but make sure you’re checking your surroundings to make sure other players that could be in the vicinity don’t have the same idea (stay alert, stay alive). Such is the art of warfare.

I actually watched the video a few minutes ago, checked out RottenTwinkies on Twitch afterwards just to see that he is currently streaming live having his Birthday Subathon and actually watching the very same video while I joined the stream. So funny.

I’m a big fan of Twinkies and have been watching him since I started playing the game. He’s one of the smartest players I know, and he plays on controller which appeals to me as well. I know you’re a drum hater, but maybe it’s not such a bad option? Lol. Keep up the great work Toby.

Personally I always prefer high action high kill gameplay. Not only is it boring to watch someone hide behind a tree for 10 minutes, every fight is something to learn from and I watch your content half for entertainment, half for education, to learn how to play better. I only started playing April this year and between you and EvolveJake I've improved massively, love your personality and your very detailed break downs of everything you do. Appreciate all the content and keep on doing what you're doing! 🤘

Came back to this video because I eliminated this guy to win a Solos game last night. I didn’t realize it was him until I went back and watched the replay. Went and watched the video of his livestream from last night and sure enough it was. Your videos have been a massive help in improving at this game over the past year or so. No shot I could’ve beaten this guy a year or more ago. Keep up the great work, man! (44 minute mark in his stream from last night if you’re interested lol)

I spent an hour writing this for some kid in reddit the other day. Not as detailed tho, I wish I knew you were going to make this I would have just sent the link 😭 it's crazy that he does almost the same thing I do, except his accuracy is much better. High risk games are just better. Maybe make a day out of being strategic every week and/or see if rotten will run duos with you?

personally I prefer watching high action gameplay. I can justify being passive in ranked but I get bored in pubs if I don't push most people I see

this is an awesome video, so impressed by all the gameplay you watched and your analysis. I'm a big rottetwinkies fan and seriously enjoyed this

I’ve been been a part of his community for the past 4 months and I’ve learned so much about gameplay and rotations. I went from having 0 crowns to finally capping my goal of 20 because I’ve taken in everything he teaches us daily. He’s so smart and definitely plays with strategy. Thank you for posting this video about him! You’re a genuine person for doing it and on his birthday nonetheless. ❤

It just so happens to be RottenTwinkies Birthday today!! Jump into his bday stream and wish him a great day! He saw the video and really enjoyed it while watching it on stream with his viewers!

I remember watching tfue stream one time and someone in his chat asked him if he had any advice for how to get wins. And his response was "I don't really know I don't play to win, I'm just playing for kills if you kill enough people you win." Obviously that's a little sarcastic on his part because he had so many wins but it does show a different mindsets that people can have when they're playing.

I really dig the community you are building and are part of. Awesome positive energy!! Thanks Toby!!

This is a great video. I've watched a few of Rotten Twinkies streams since you first mentioned him on stream. Dude is fun to watch for sure and I love that there are several of you high level players that can see the value in the play styles of your "enemies". All in all great break down

I love your play style man, I don't see you changing it that much just to get more Ws. But as you said, probably the mix of both would be ideal :) As always, great video bro!!

High octane gameplay with videos like these now and then it's perfect.

Here’s some ideas that might be counter intuitive but only you could cover. 1. **"Stealth Masterclass: Navigating the Map Undetected"** Execute a live gameplay session focused on mastering stealth in zero build mode. Explore the best movement techniques, cover utilization, and loadout choices for staying undetected by opponents. Discuss the art of surprise and ambush in this setting. 2. **"Low Kill, High Win Tactics: Strategies for Passive Victory"** Demonstrate live gameplay emphasizing tactics for players who prefer a less aggressive playstyle. Explore effective ways to avoid conflicts, prioritize survival, and secure victory with minimal engagement. Discuss the mindset and decision-making behind low-kill, high-win strategies. 3. **"Psychology of Low Kill, Top Ten Wins: Mastering the Art of Survival"** Explore the psychological aspects of playing for top ten placements and focusing on winning with minimal conflict. Discuss decision-making, risk assessment, and the mental strategies needed to consistently make it to the final circles and secure victories without aggressive play. 4. **"Dynamic Loadout Evolution: Adapting on the Fly"** Showcase live gameplay where the content creator adapts their loadout based on the evolving circumstances of the match. Discuss decision-making processes for swapping weapons, adjusting inventory, and optimizing loadouts for different phases of the game. 5. **"Character Hitboxes Exposed: Target Size and Camouflage Analysis"** Investigate and discuss the impact of character skins, back blings, and accessories on hitbox visibility. Explore which character combinations offer smaller and more camouflaged targets, making it harder for opponents to land shots. Conversely, analyze which skins may have larger hitboxes, potentially making headshots easier for opponents.

Thanks for introducing us to another great FN player. To answer your question, I would like to see both types of vids, but not during the same stream ( unless something is just not vibing). I would love to see one day focused on high kills and crazy clip worthy plays and another day focused on strategic wins. I think this is how most of us play but don’t quite know it. Thanks for all you do for your community!

I personally prefer to watch someone willing to risk it all for a highlight. It’s way more intense and fun to watch for me. Even tho I’d love to win every game, I wouldn’t drop my mammoth pistol for ports. Great vid brother

The top German WW2 ace had a similar approach, only engage the enemy with a good advantage in the dogfight, otherwise disengage, don't take 50/50s. But he didn't have the pressure of high kill games from the Fortnite audience and certain celebrity streamers trying to shame him as a crown grinder for playing conservatively and not being an easy kill. It was a simpler time.

im in twinkies streams every single day and i have been subbed for over 2 years and not once have iever seen him pick soaring sprints, he constantly says he hates it

Great video! Taking a lot from this and gonna implement some of these strats into solos next season. Love this concept of learning from others. Really great video brother!

you mention a really good point on rotating on the slower sides of zone but the problem for me is that it's usually hard to tell which side of the circle that will be on!

Great video! i often get "bored" if it has been a while since I've seen an enemy, so I'll engage no matter what. I think you gotta play the way you enjoy playing... basically "you do you". Personally, I do want to try running the 2 gun loadout more often for this last week of season 3.

This is a fantastic video!! Not only is twinkies one of the best to play fortnite, he is a genuinely great person. I highly encourage everyone to sub to his twitch. He's just the best!!❤

As a big fan of RottenTwinkies I loved the video ! His gameplay is very strategic and insightful watching him definitely helped with my own games . He’s such an amazing player and person definitely recommend to anyone who hasn’t watched him !

Awesome video, but everyone else in the stream chat would have just called this guy a “rat” 😂 They really seem to like using that word

its nice to see some validation of this loadout. there's just too many utility items to have three guns imo. great vid, man!

The strategy works! I hardly play solos, but I just got a solo win using this strategy! Thank you for sharing!

To answer your question at the end I feel like I have different streamers/KZfaqrs I watch depending on what I’m looking for, if I’m looking to learn and improve my game play I love watching you and Evolve Jake, but if I’m in the mood to be entertained maybe I’ll watch some Zemie and Tfue highlights or some challenge games people post (one chest challenge stuff like that) but in my personal opinion Toby you are my go too for when I need to get in the lab and up my game. Don’t know if this input helps at all but thank you for the great video 😊

You said it. You need a mix of both. In the early days to progress, I argue your mechanics and gameplay are much more important. You NEED to get into fights to practice winning fights. Once your are competent at winning fights, then you can choose when and where to engage in fights. I'd argue we all personally want to get the win. High elims is nice but we want the win. There's lots of strategies to get into the top 5 in a round. But if you aren't good at 1v1 and 2v1 scenarios, you'll get close a lot but not win. As for what's fun to watch, again I think it's a mix. Have a mix of videos. Some demonstrating strategy for wins and some for high elims and fight mechanics. I watch all of it. But I'd argue there is LESS content around win strategy.

Been binging your vids I haven’t watched because I am so sick rn thanks for the content!

I love this video I mostly make it to end game but my issue was I never rotate early and don’t go for loot island theirs nothing wrong in playing stealth and smart theirs a saying in karate You should only take parts in fights you know you can win I like both playstyle

Toby, you absolutely crushed this video! Instant sub

I land that tower, rotate to harbor then to brutal almost every game. You are exactly right. By the time I’m looted up and make it to brutal, I get there at the perfect time to get dumpstered on by the last player in the POI.

Some of these strategies im gonna try. I mix up between going head first into the action and taking my time. It’s just fun for me.

I think we can all use a little more strategy and focus on wins, but more action and fights are what I tune in for when watching content creators, as well as educational tips like this video.

You can mix it up IMO, play a few games strategically and explain your thought process live on stream (you actually kind of did that last time), and then play a few games like "Ape Toby" W-keying with the drum shotgun 😀

I like watching people who's having fun even if they don't win :)

I'd prefer high action, because I feel like that shows more situations where combat occurs and how to survive. I don't need help learning how to hide and play safe. I watch to see how high level players handle combat. I honestly wouldn't care if the person I watched lost every game, provided they had a high elimination count.

Wow great player! He has strategies but is high skill. I love the fast paced games tho... what would be cool to see you mimic his play style as a challange. Like every 5th game in a stream. I had a good run of wins when I changed a strategies, if I didn't initiate the fight get out and reset. I guess this is part of what he is doing.

Since finding your channel I've come to appreciate more strategic playing over high kill aggressive play. Since zero build came out I've become incredibly aggressive with pushing and started making some absolutely 2 IQ plays lately. Lately I've switched to going for the win over pushing and it's a lot more engaging because matches are longer

I think ranger was one of the first to use this loadout, I tried it and its objectively the best ZB loadout but drum spamming untill you run out of ammo and then switching to MK hipfire gets boring. This guy is undoubtedly a too tier player though.

Most helpful vid. The others just say get good. Thanx for the strats.

Same bro. I get so mad at myself because I know better, and do it anyway, always ends up costing me. Even though I'm nowhere near your caliber of player I still try to play for the win.

I love his style his gameplay. If a player goes into end game healthy, with lots of ammo and full of utility, his chances of winning increases exponentially.

The baby thing, I mean c'mon man... Im a dad... thats just mean... he happy, you proud... I clicked the button... I had to... For the Gameplay thing: I like to see the best strategy to win games, because when I play I play to win. That gives me most satisfaction. Even if that means hiding in the Loo until the last two players start hitting each other. I watch zemie for crazy action, I watch you for tactics and info about the game.

Im somewhat like both of you. My combat is ok but my strategy is excellent. But I do like fighting a lot wen I could have passed on the fight and ended up winning. Like u said I do this knowing I'm messing up lol

I’d go with “Prospering” for Zero Build. Strategic, high elims, and multiple wins in his daily streams.

Thanks bro

I love your videos mate, really great insights! How about a challenge? Why don't you do a few games playing exactly like RT? Would be great to see! A terrifying collab duo with him? Hahaha!

I just used this load out and my first game today I got a solo win. I was lucky enough that 2 of the 3 people left were really bad at camping and I beamed them with the mythic dot sight gun. The last guy was a little bit tougher but that was because of how bad the terrain was.

Well bro when i watch i love action but i love your strategy ! becouze action can make every player but strategy is the key to win in the end :) So keep up your good work bro ! :)

I like strategic game play .. do most my games like that

Definitely prefer the high risk, high action gameplay, especially when the streamer acknowledges that it's sub-optimal but more fun. That's why I prefer ZB over builds in the first place.

Deffinetly watch for both.... and also funny rediculous moments

Watched this video twice actually, wrote notes the second time. Thanks 👍 for the video

Wow Rotten Twinkies really is a strat master. Certainly some good lessons to learn and adapt them to peoples own style of play. I think that’s one thing that makes Fortnite very unique, there is literally hundreds/thousands of different strats and play styles that can be implemented and work for different people individually. Thanks for sharing.

3:00 he sounds like me. I have 52% in top 10, 45 VR. I'm trying to get more kills between getting ready to fight and the end game action. Very stealthy the whole time. If I get into a fight where I lose the upper hand, I'll run away quickly to reset or move on.

I just found you recently and I have watched about three videos so far but I love that the babys name is Ryu like my in game name 😂😂

Big like to support Shinobi baby, Shinobi daddy and Shinobi mom (who also occasionally plays... I envy you. I recently found out that my wife doesn't even know what is gaming controller and a thumb stick LOL, so I'm not holding my breath...). Can't wait to see baby Shinobi join you guys in the Fortnite scene. Probably another 8 years or so ;)

My fighting skills are only ok. My aim is generally decent. My situational awareness is what I think is my strongest attribute. I have a little over 1200 solo wins only because of this. Everything you mentioned in this video about RottenTwinkies rotational thought process is how my mind works. Lol, this is good because if I had to use brute force I don’t think I would win very often.

Playing bunkers andshockwaves long ago cus we have drum wich saves you slot cus you dont need smg

WWWWW Twinkies is AMAZING!

Also in regards to the type of gameplay. It’s tough being a streamer and wanting to win games, when you feel like people want to be entertained 😅 I’m the same way as you, I know the mistakes I’m making, but it feels boring to just sit around and wait. Even though I KNOW it will cause me to win. I feel like for pubs I still lean towards playing aggressive, but for a lot of these strategies, they are perfect for comp play. I know playing more patient in general would help me not feel as annoyed on stream, but def wouldn’t feel as exciting lol

Ryus so cute. Thanks for the legendary content master shinobi❤️

I think that's a legit question about wins vs entertaining. You have the following so my suggestion would be to play aggressive in the start but then rotate to dead zones or hide and use that time to interact with your chat

i think both ways are possible, some games if one strat isn't working after a few games switch it. either way we are here because we like you as a person. nothing wrong with adapting and playing to a style you feel comfortable with.

Me and my team prioritize eliminations, a win will always be a bonus 😹 we mostly have a high risk with each encounter we have

Wow, this how I like to play, patience & timing, no chasing kills chasing the win

Extremely similar formula to what I created. He is just a far superior gamer and player, probably uses mouse and keyboard. But I did pick up a couple new options for the formula. I like his mentality and discipline.

Well done video Sinsei! You are correct on everything you said and you have just made the "unpopular kid" (style) very acceptable. I do find it fun when you play mach 10 with your hair on fire but I also appreciate and respect your strategic skills and the mechanics you have behind it all!

He reminds me of Its Iron the warzone streamer. Similar strategies in different games

I enjoy the action in squads, but so much more difficult, especially with random players.. Almost impossible to get crowns..

I'd prefer watching a game with high risk/action rather than just watching people win all the time, as that would be monotonous. There are probably 100 ways to die but only one way to win- by playing safe, which might make some viewers bored in the long run. Anyways, it's totallyy upto you, we'd watch you play regardless cheers!

Twinkies is so good. I’ve learned so much from watching him play.

I feel like everybody loves high kill gameplay. Tactics just aren’t really fun to watch imo but then again I know that’s not everyone’s take and I’m aware of my bias 😂 just wanted to have some fun

Higher risk to improve in fights

Bro, the name of the game is to be the last man standing, I don’t care about high kill games, all that matter is the win ! ❤

i play high action bt i play on xbox one x overall is good but my aim is really bad also sometimes i dont know i think the game just does too high graphics then it lags a bit for a sec and sometimes it also freezes for like 2 sec

Famous last words " I'm going for loot Island " lmao

Go little Ryu!

I think on a view by view basis action-oriented gameplay will attract more viewers for sure.

Man, my issue with this play style, is that I spend 10 minutes looking up, only to die in the first fight I get in. It happened so much, that I started landing at hot drops every single game. That way I either eliminate them right away or die, no wasting time I'm not saying this is the right thing to do, but for some reason I've been playing for 7 months and just cannot progress at all. It's driving me nuts

Ryu could beat goku if he tried hard enough

I like to watch streamers play for the win because I'm trying to get better all the time at fortnite and game is just still complicated with trying to figure out the the auto shotgun I use it a lot and still I some reason I still die

This is good imma play like him

Not a big fan of his playstyle, rather have less wins but play more aggressive. would be cool if you did a video like this about EvolveJake though

What skin is Toby wearing throughout the video it’s black and gold it looks like a knight or something

Ngl the baby made me smash the like button and subscribe

Btw, the drum shotgun have made me rage quit more than once. I really hope they vault that atrocity. They should at least forbid it from being ground loot.

I won a match once where I only hit 2 shots on other players. I only had 1 elimination. I used a harpoon gun. The last guy was healing after a build fight. He was taking a shield when I broke his wall with the harpoon then I harpoon him and he died. I played hide and seek the entire game... it would have been very boring to watch. It was a crown victory because I picked up someone else's crown while running from storm.

Do you mind doing another streamer analysis on someone who I think has a high win rate?

Not bad. I had over 600 crowns, for this season. In the present new ch4s4 , i am on 25 crowns now already in barely 3 days of the new season.

I'd love to see you win more.

Ive always played battle royals very passive, so much that no one like to play with ne anymore 😅

I would prefer to watch your style of play. Go hard, get the kills, have fun with it. Winning is secondary
