39 Tips to Fight Better in Fortnite Chapter 7

Fast Mechanics with the New Arm Pump

• The new arm pump has a pull-up time of 330 milliseconds, allowing for rapid shooting mechanics.

• To maximize speed, place a build, pull out your shotgun, and then edit to shoot almost instantly.

• Holding down the shoot button while confirming an edit minimizes delay between editing and shooting.

Effective Editing Strategies

• Slowing down edits by half a second can improve positioning before confirming an edit.

• Holding an edit briefly allows for better peak shots without risking wall retakes from opponents.

Aggressive Play Techniques

• When attacking walls from awkward angles, use bottom right four-tile edits to block line of sight effectively.

• Placing builds with wood first increases HP when edited immediately compared to brick or metal.

Muscle Memory and Weapon Switching

• Develop muscle memory for quick transitions: wall replace → shotgun → AR spray if initial attempts fail.

• Avoid trying to fully box opponents; instead, focus on getting one or two build pieces for effective shots.

Shotgun Mechanics and Damage Insights

Understanding Shotgun Damage

• Gray or green pumps require headshots to kill unshielded players due to low damage output; blue and above allow body shots for kills.

Crouching and Aiming Down Sights (ADS)

• Crouching while ADSing significantly reduces crosshair size, increasing shot accuracy during endgame scenarios.

Utilizing Vending Machines Effectively

Finding High Rarity Weapons

• Rare chests have specific chances for high rarity shotguns; vending machines offer affordable options for upgrades.

Resource Management During Fights

• Destroying vending machines can prevent other players from accessing resources if you plan not to return.

Movement Techniques in Combat

Jumping and Sliding Mechanics

• Sprint jumping delays shotgun pulls but aiming down sights while jumping cancels this bug for faster shooting.

Advanced Movement Strategies

• Combining sprinting, jumping, sliding, and ADS can maintain forward momentum while applying pressure on enemies.

Importance of AR Aim in Combat

Weapon Comparisons

• Despite lower stats than other weapons, scoped rifles like the Dead Eye Assault Rifle are favored by pros due to their versatility in various combat situations.

Final Thoughts on Combat Strategy

• Practicing AR aim is crucial; spamming walls when knocked may disrupt opponents even if survival is unlikely.
