Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the main methods related to how to train on Fortnite, I think it might interest you to know more about what are the skills that are generally required to be able to compete at best in the games of this fast-paced title.
Well, usually players are required to master the mechanics of surprise, construction e modification to be able to worry the opponents properly. If in the first case it is an essentially "obvious" aspect, as in all Battle Royale titles it is necessary to achieve a certain familiarity with the aiming system, in the other cases we refer to "exclusive" Fortnite mechanics.
For example, the construction of walls and other elements to defend against opponents is one of the features that contributed to making the Epic Games title unique. Furthermore, the possibility of modify the constructed elements on the fly allows you to make the action even more frenetic and fun, but obviously you have to know how to exploit these mechanics properly.
In short, I understand why you want train inside Fortnite in these fields, since they are important to be able to achieve the competitive performance of the most skilled users.
Before we begin, however, I remind you that the title of Epic Games is evolving, so the developers may decide to make changes at any moment, currently unpredictable to me. In case, however, I will promptly update the post.
How to train on Fortnite PC
After quickly explaining to you which are the fields in which Fortnite players usually want to train, I would say that it is time to take action and illustrate yourself how to train in aiming, building and modifying. Below you can find the instructions relating to the PC world, in which generally everything "moves" faster and it is therefore necessary to use your skills to the fullest.
How to train aiming on Fortnite PC
One of the most important fields in which to train to be able to "excel" on Fortnite is clearly the surprise, given that being able to quickly target opponents can guarantee an excellent competitive advantage.
On PC, the movement is particularly fast, given the "Fluidity" guaranteed by mouse and keyboard. Here we get to the heart already, since these peripherals can give you excellent satisfaction. The advice I give you, in fact, is that of purchase products specifically intended for gaming.
To give you some concrete examples, some mouse dedicated to video games allow you to properly set the pointer sensitivity, making the latter much faster or slower than a classic device.
The term you need to pay attention to in this case is DPI. In fact, using a high value in this sense can guarantee you to move the camera and aim quickly, but there are also users who decide to lower this sensitivity to a minimum, so that they can perform more precise actions in-game.
See offer on Amazon See offer on AmazonJust to give you some concrete indications, two values that you could try in terms of PPE are 400 and 3200, but in any case everyone has their own preferences and it is therefore good that you go in search of the most valid settings for yours style of play. If you don't know which product to choose, I recommend that you take a look at my guide to the best gaming mice.
For the rest, another valid advice to improve aiming on PC, valid not only for Fortnite but also for other titles of this type, is to use external tools to train. For example, a quick and easy to use tool, given that it can be accessed directly through a browser, is the one offered by the 3D Aim Trainer portal.
The latter, in fact, makes it available to users several "sessions" in which it is possible to train in terms of aiming. Surely it is an interesting method to test your skills on the computer, even if we are faced with a tool external to Fortnite.
In any case, if you want specific advice, you may want to train in the called "map" Bounce Ball, which can put your aiming skills to the test as gods appear in the scenario balloons in constant motion and potentially difficult to hit.
For the rest, if you want to deepen the subject and also take a look at the settings offered by the game, you can refer to my guide on how to improve the aim on Fortnite for PC, in which I went into more detail on the subject.
How to train building on Fortnite PC
One of the most loved, but also the most discussed mechanics of Fortnite is that relating to the possibility of to build elements, from walls to ramps, to defend yourself or catch your opponents off guard.
You probably already know how this mechanic works, so I will avoid dwelling too much on keys and the like, but I will give you some useful information to train in this regard.
Starting from necessary resources to build constructions within the game, a valid method to obtain more is to use the pickaxe aiming at the blue circle that appears on the screen when you try to break, for example, a tree. By doing so, you will get the materials in a particularly short time.
As for the construction itself, however, I recommend that you train yourself in implementing the so-called 90 degree technique, perhaps by entering mode Creative, in order to test everything more calmly.
In any case, this is a method found by skilled players to quickly build a structure that is difficult to attack, as well as easy to use for disorient the enemies. I try to explain everything to you in words, even if it's not exactly simple.
The first thing to do is build one ramp and place your character on the right or left side of the latter. After that, you need to place a Wall centrally and then position them another to the right or left, choosing where to direct your structure.
Once this is done, you have to blow up and place one ramp towards the chosen direction. Great, now you can repeat this process potentially indefinitely, or at least until you run out of materials. You will see that in relatively few seconds a gigantic structure will emerge, difficult to attack from many points of view.
Just pay attention to don't go too high and try to move to the side every now and then, as your opponent may think about destroying the structure e make you fall from a certain height. For the rest, surely the 90-degree technique is a quick method to become familiar with the construction mechanics.
Speaking of the latter, if you want to deepen the subject, I remind you that on these pages you can find my guide on how to build on Fortnite for PC, which contains other information that you might consider interesting.
How to train in editing on Fortnite PC
THEedit, or the modification of the built elements, is another factor that you must take into account if you want to improve your performance on Fortnite.
Indeed, the most skilled players are capable of to send opponents "into confusion" by modifying structures in a particularly fast way, for example by creating doors or of the aperture to be able to move quickly between one element and another.
In this case it can be complex, especially initially, to become familiar with this mechanic, since it requires you to use a certain one in a short time key combination. The advice I feel like giving you is therefore that of try and try again to modify the elements, perhaps by entering Creative mode.
Otherwise, you may want to change certain settings related to the or keys memorize preset schemes to be able to set up structures capable of disorienting enemies in a few seconds.
To give you a concrete example, I suggest you try using the sequence of commands Q, left click, G, left click, mouse movement, left click, G e Q. In this way, orienting the mouse correctly to select 2 blue squares on top of each other, you will create a Wall and you will quickly edit it by inserting a port (you can then open the latter using the button E keyboard).
It is definitely about a "basic" structure, but I can assure you that starting from here and training in editing you will be able to improve your edit on Fortnite. In any case, despite the indications relating to the PC world end here, I suggest you proceed with reading the guide, as even in the chapter dedicated to the consoles you may find useful details (among other things, it is potentially possible to use the controller also on PC).

In this case, I remind you that it is possible to improve simply by connecting the mouse and keyboard to the console. However, I understand that this is not a suitable method for everyone, as there are many in this world who want to use the controller as an input method.

In particular, the players have created islands that allow you to train in aiming. In particular, I suggest you take a look at the map created by the user GEERZY. Using the link I just provided, you can find the directions and the code to access this feature, which in other words is a sort of "course" to learn how to aim properly on Fortnite.
Typically, to insert the code just try to start a game in Creative mode, select the tile ISLAND CODE, type the code and press the button LANCIA.
