Fortnite Download

Ever since Fortnite released in July of 2017, it has become a worldwide phenomenon, having a total of 350 million users as of May 2020. To put that number in perspective, there are more Fortnite players than there are citizens of the United States. Not only that, but it has inspired a bevy of games in the Battle Royale genre, eager to capture even a fraction of the playerbase that Fortnite has. Players are tasked with building structures, form strategies with other players, find weapons, and survive until the end. But the most important thing to do is have fun. It is a game, after all, and a game is supposed to be fun, firsty and foremost.

Understanding the Basics

The ultimate goal of Fortnite is to survive longer than all other enemy players, which can total as many as 99 other players. One can accomplish this through a variety of means, although the game goes through efforts to prevent you from camping by having the play field shrink over time. Find yourself outside of the play field, and you’re not going to be in the running for much longer. You can try to survive by finding weapons, building fortifications, killing enemies, and just going for a drive. This can be played multiple ways, including solo, with a partner, or with a squad of four people. You can also do a Player vs. Enemy mode in Save the World, though in order to enjoy this, you have to pay for a subscription. This is a great pick for people who want to have a challenge, but do not really enjoy competing with other human players.

If you would rather toy around with Fortnite instead of competing with people, you can turn to creative mode to practice your building skills and just having fun. This can even help you for when you play competitive modes.
