Even though Fortnite has been around for a while, there are still a lot of features that players are unaware of. In addition to being played by millions of people daily, it has also gained widespread recognition among parents and TV viewers who have never touched a gaming controller. Even those who don’t play video games know it but may not even understand how.
Here are 10 amazing Fortnite Battle Royale facts that you probably didn’t know.
1. Battle Royale wasn’t meant to be the primary game mode.
Epic Games created and thought would be the major draw for users of the game Fortnite: Save the World, a player versus environment (PvE) co-op campaign-style third-person shooter.
It centers on a planet overrun by ravaging creatures and undead (called husks) and includes a variety of character classes (soldiers, constructors, ninjas, and outlanders). The game was intended to be a typical, pay-to-own one.
2. You Can Minimize Bloom
In Fortnite, a lot of the guns have fairly large bloom, which essentially means that the bullets will spread out when fired rather than hitting precisely on the crosshair. When attempting to shoot targets from a distance, this is quite unpleasant, but fortunately, there is a way to make it a little more reliable.
Shooting will be easier and less likely to bloom if you continually press the crouch and strafe back and forth buttons. Although it takes some getting accustomed to, once you do, you’ll never want to go back!

4. You Can Shoot Through Doors
A crucial component of Fortnite is box battles. You must know exactly what to do to defeat an opponent who has boxed themself in and is only one hit away from death. Or, in the alternative, how to escape the box if you find yourself within.
If you aim carefully, there is a hidden technique that enables you to fire through the gaps in a wooden door. This is effective with the majority of bullets, but you must use additional caution while shooting through. It’s a fantastic method to surprise your opponent and fire a couple of rounds at them.
5. You Can See Through the Walls
You must be aware of your opponent’s location without jeopardizing your safety if you want to secure the delicious win royale. When you enter edit mode after creating a wall, you can see through it.
In essence, they are free wallhacks, so you should use them as often as you can, especially if you find yourself in a boxing match or are keeping an eye on an adversary from a distance. You may also clear any tile on the wall in the edit mode to see the wall from any perspective.
6. You Can Get Loot Before Others
Fortnite might make you feel like you’re losing out on fantastic items while everyone else is getting fortunate because of how competitive it is. Landing on the edge is one method to begin, but another strategy is to land in front of the house and begin looting it from the ground rather than from the attic.
Where we land has a lot to do with it. The majority of houses will have two stories, and since you simply need to unlock doors instead of spending time using your harvester to damage the roof of the house, you may cover that ground more quickly. You’ll have an advantage over your adversaries right away.

And the only individuals who would purchase it were those who were concurrently in the market for a Switch.
- The Reaper (OG John Wick). Keanu Reeves as John Wick is the coolest and most badass actor around. That is a deception of a question. But if you were able to obtain the “The Reaper” skin—a prize for players who reached Tier 100 in Season 3—by accumulating a legendary amount of player deaths, John-Wick-style—you could at least pretend to be one. “The Reaper” isn’t OFFICIALLY a John Wick skin; it’s just a man in a suit who suspiciously resembles a death-dealing, puppy-loving Keanu Reeves.
