Due to the massive popularity of games like PUBG and H1Z1, you might be familiar with the battle royale genre. However, Fortnite: Battle Royale is a tad different from its competitors. The game takes the base premise of the genre and gives you the ability to rapidly construct fortifications, like walls and stairs, allowing you to protect yourself and create your own tactical environmental-based strategies.
Since its debut as a free-to-play mode last year, Fortnite: Battle Royale has skyrocketed in popularity, becoming a formidable competitor to PUBG. As a result, there's no shortage of new players jumping into the game for the first time every day--you might be one yourself. And with the latest season making the rounds, there couldn't be a better time to jump in. To assist those looking to come out on top, we've detailed in the video above some of the common mistakes new players make, as well as ways to improve.
