Here are the basics to getting started —you'll be climbing the leader board in no time. Since there are up to people in a single match of Fortnite , you'll need to wait a bit after choosing to start a game to actually begin. Instead of sitting on a loading screen, you'll drop on an island with the other players. Learn the controls, pick up some equipment, and find out how it all works. The game will start for real a few moments later. If you ever watch Fortnite pros at work, you'll be amazed at how quickly they can build.
The key to this is practice—if you want to find success, outbuilding your opponents will get you there. There are a ton of viable weapons and strategies in Fortnite , but most newbies will probably want to stick to SMGs or assault rifles. These are the most similar to weapons in other shooters—they fire a lot of bullets and do decent damage. Also, the general rule of thumb is rarer weapons are better—watch the color scale to determine rarity.
Grey weapons are the most common, scaling upwards through green, blue, purple, and finally, gold. The map in Fortnite is massive, giving everyone a chance to gear up before encountering too many enemies, but it quickly starts to shrink at timed intervals throughout the match.
You can always see how long until the circle begins to shrink, forcing all the surviving players into smaller and smaller areas. You take damage if you're outside the circle, so don't stay out there longer than you need to. You can unlock a few things in Fortnite without spending a dime, but you'll need to purchase the Battle Pass to actually get any decent loot. If you do purchase the Battle Pass, you'll earn rewards the more you play, eventually unlocking new options to customize your character.
You can also spend money directly, buying the things you want in the store, but be careful—you can spend a lot of money this way, and the items won't actually help you. They just look pretty. Many people don't realize that Fortnite actually has two distinctive ways to play. When you hear people talk about the game, they're almost assuredly talking about Fortnite: Battle Royale —the free version of the game that pits players against one another in a slowly shrinking arena.
However, there is another mode called Fortnite: Save the World , which is actually how the game originally started. Save the World is a cooperative shooter that pits several players against AI-controlled enemies. It features several similarities to the mechanics of Battle Royale , but there are a few key differences. You can get it on a lot of modern devices, from smartphones and tablets to PC, and even consoles like the PS4.
But how exactly do you get your hands on it on PS4, specifically? You can do so via Wi-Fi or with an Ethernet cable. At this point, you can follow the steps to get Fortnite on your system. Click X on this. It has a magnifying glass next to it and is located to the left of the Cart tab. When we tried it, we typed in F-O and Fortnite came up instantly.
For more obscure titles, you might have to type in the full name. You should see Fortnite appear on the right side. We go into more detail on how to link your Fortnite Epic account here.
From here, you can choose what you want, but most people pick Battle Royale. This is the online competitive mode that is constantly updated, and you can jump in right away. Oh, and you can launch into a match from here, as well. Either way, plan for between 7GB and 35GB of free space, just to be safe. You do not need a PS Plus membership in order to play Fortnite online.
This means you can start playing right out of the box, provided you have an internet connection.
