How to play Fortnite
Think about your strategy …..
…… Battle your way on the island …..
…… and end up winning
Victory Royale !!!
Make it stand out
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
After winning:
1. You gain XP to level up your Battle Pass and v-bucks.
2. In competitive modes, your rank improves.

In Fortnite, each season has a special Victory Umbrella you earn by winning a match. It’s a unique reward that marks your win that season
Useful items
The Storm
When a purple icon with a timer appears, it means the storm is shrinking, and you must get inside the white circle on the map to stay safe.
Being outside the safe zone in the storm slowly damages your health, and the damage increases as the game progresses. You can use Bandages or a Medkit to survive for a short time if you're stuck in the storm, but it’s always better to stay inside the safe zone.
The Ammo Box
A small container inside buildings that gives ammo and sometimes a mini shield. It respawns each match and helps keep your weapons loaded for fights.
Get your weapon
You find weapons and items by looting buildings after jumping off the bus.
Regular chests are common and give basic gear.
Premium chests are rare and offer powerful weapons and items.
Drops
Drops is a flying airship that lands after a few zones.
It offers rare weapons, shields, healing items, high ground advantage, and cover.
Many players go for it, so expect heavy competition when it drops.
