Fortnite: A Beginner's Guide

While Fortnite may not have been the first game to bring together third-person shooters and jumping-based platforming, it has certainly become the most popular. For many gamers, this is because of how accessible Fortnite is. There’s no need to spend hours grinding for XP, unlocking consumable items or building up a collection of cosmetic outfits in order to play. Instead you can jump into a quick match with your friends at any time and still have some fun. However, without its immense popularity we wouldn’t be writing this article right now; instead it would just be another piece of content buried deep within a website’s archive that no one ever happened to come across. With that in mind, let’s take a look at what makes Fortnite so popular - and why your friends may also want you to join them soon enough.

What is Fortnite?

Fortnite is a free-to-play action game developed by Epic Games that places players in the shoes of one of several available characters as they search for survivors in a devastated world. After a storm wrecks the landscape, the game’s battle royale mode drops players into deserted islands, forcing them to fight for survival. Every player begins with a bag of supplies and a few weapons, and the goal is to scavenge materials to buildstructures that protect your inventory and weapons, while also trying to avoid getting killed by other players - who can also be picked out of the crowd by a pink mist that highlights their location. The game is available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, and players can play with other people online or in split-screen. Epic Games has also said it’s exploring the possibility of bringing Fortnite to other platforms, including mobile, Nintendo Switch, and even AR platforms.

Battle Royale

One of the biggest draws of Fortnite for players is the battle royale mode, which brings together 100 players on deserted islands. At the start of the game, you’ll have a bag of supplies, which you can use to build shelter. You’ll also have a few weapons and items to help you fight other players. Once you’ve picked up a few materials from the map, you can start building. You can use blueprints to create walls, stairs, and roofs. But don’t get too attached to your stuff - if you die, you’ll have to start again from your last saved spot. The game is over when only one person is left standing.

Where can I download Fortnite?

You can download the game for PC on Epic Games’ website. On other platforms, you can find Fortnite in the app stores for Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PS4. You can also find the Battle Royale mode on mobile devices. On mobile, you can play the game on iOS and Android devices. You can also play the game on certain Chinese-made consoles, including the PS4 and Xbox One.

Do you have to be 12 to play Fortnite?

No, you don’t have to be 12 to play Fortnite. In fact, if you’re 12 or older, you can play the Battle Royale mode for free. However, you might be required to prove your age before playing. If you’re younger than 18, you have to have permission from your parents or legal guardian to play Fortnite. If you’re under the age of 13, you can’t play, download, or purchase Fortnite. These requirements also apply to the Battle Royale mode on other platforms, like iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch.

Is Fortnite still free?

Yes, Fortnite is still completely free to play. You don’t have to buy anything in order to play the game. You can hop in and jump right into the Battle Royale mode and start fighting other players. Or you can play the Save the World mode and fight against waves of enemies. And if you’re interested, you can purchase cosmetic outfits, dances, and gliders to wear in-game. Or you can purchase the Battle Pass, which unlocks exclusive rewards.

Should you play Fortnite?

Yes, you should play Fortnite, especially if you’re looking for an easy way to connect with friends online. The game is extremely fun to play with friends, especially if they are also new to the game. And if you fall in love with it, there are several ways you can get more out of it. You can purchase the Battle Pass, which contains a bunch of cosmetic items to customize your character and gear. You can also purchase the V-Bucks in-game currency. This allows you to purchase different items. And if that’s not your cup of tea, you can always move on to another game.

Conclusion

As you can see, if Epic Games closed shop tomorrow, there would still be plenty of reasons to keep playing Fortnite. That’s because no matter when you play, the gameplay experience is always the same - you’ll have to scavenge for materials, build structures, and fight other players to survive. This means it will never become outdated, even as new game modes are added. Plus, these reasons apply to anyone wanting to jump into a game with minimal effort. Whether you’re looking for an easy way to spend time with friends or you want to try something new, Fortnite is an easy choice.
