Fortnite

Epic Games' simple yet addictive game, dubbed "Fortnite," has already gained a huge following and has even been recognized as an Outstanding Achievement in Online Gameplay Academy Award from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences. The main task of the players is to build defensive structures and at the same time fend off monsters. It would seem nothing new. But! There are some little secrets here that are worth talking about in more detail.

Fortnite Features

So, the essence of the game is research, gathering resources, building buildings and fighting zombies. The scheme is simple: during the day, the heroes rush like crazy, raking up all possible resources, at night they fight off enemies. And to make it more interesting, the authors thought out 3 separate modes at once:

• Fortnite: Save the World. Survival in an open world where you have to work together to fight off monsters and build buildings.
• Fortnite: Battle Royale. A battle royale competition where 100 players fight each other until only one survives.
• Fortnite: Creative. Gamers are already able to create different structures by themselves.

But if we consider the most common and simple option, then it is worth paying attention to the main characteristic features of the game.

Fortnite Story

After the cataclysm, the planet was enveloped by the Tempest - this is the name of the purple ominous haze. And along with her came zombies - creatures with hoods made of human skin. Most of the population has died out, but the hero has a chance to escape in a shelter, the safety of which must be constantly taken care of. Alone or in a company. In the company, of course, it is more productive and preferable.

Construction and materials

If at the beginning of the game the heroes have to make do with the modest format of buildings with 4 walls and a door, then gradually the possibilities expand. Closer to the middle, bridges, arches, stairs are already in the course, so building a steep outpost is not a problem. Another thing is that the walls do not stop the monsters completely, the enemies are capable of crushing them. But, as you know, the more reliable the shelter, the more difficult it is to get there. You can build from wood, stone, metal - in a word, what comes to hand. Even mailboxes and fences are used. To help daredevils, drawings, plans and the simplest point & click interface. By the way, players are only given an approximate direction of attack, but how to strengthen and defend is, as they say, the master's business.

Weapons and their advantage

Since the terrain and map are randomly generated in the game, weapons are allocated more for ranged combat. It can be improved at your discretion. For example, the same crossbow is adjusted to be fired with three arrows at once with the defeat of different targets. Or they shoot an electric arc at these arrows, which paralyzes the monster, then the partner will get a chance to hit the foe with something heavy on the head.

Also in demand:

• shotgun;
• sniper rifle;
• katana.

Fortnite Characters

The impudent adversaries who prevent people from living normally are called zombies or - in the Russian version - hunks. And among the enemies there are telepathic thieves. They calmly open portals, pass through walls and pull valuable items. True, getting back into the hole with the prey is a problem for them, so it's easy to punish the impudent, the main thing is to see it in time. Here they are a kind of mixture of gremlins and goblins, it is easier to call them trolls than zombies.

As for the classes of human heroes, their skills can be pumped through improvements and level increases. Total 4 character choices:

• Ninja. Good in close combat, works strictly with a sword, so special skills are needed. For example, "praying mantis", which allows you to jump high, then it is easier to fly out of the center of the battle. Or fly in there. Minus - weak defense.
• Outcast. His special gift is to find rare items needed to survive. But in battle and in construction, the guy is useless.
• Commando. Considered versatile, recommended for beginners. Well equipped and armed, carries mines and grenades. Indispensable in battle, but no building bonuses.
• Builder. Builds quickly and cheaply, besides, it is not useless in battle, good damage and level of protection. And if you upgrade your skills, then it is completely irreplaceable, since it can make wood stronger, use stones and bricks for key structures.

Briefly about the main thing

Fortnite was originally created as a multiplayer game, so it is important to be able to interact as a team. But at the same time, the creative mode is also preserved, you can have a lot of fun exploring the islands that have been created by other participants.

Quick tips from experienced players are as follows:

• Competently build and destroy. It is advisable to change the battlefield yourself with the help of shelters. And if the enemy is hiding behind a wall, it is easier to demolish it than to go around, in order to inflict double damage, you need to hit the highlighted points.
• Arm yourself correctly. Do not chase the toughness, but choose what is closer in character. For some it is more comfortable to sit in ambush with a sniper, for others it is more comfortable to wave a katana as much as possible.
• Build squads with friends. It's much easier and more effective to act when you know who is capable of what and what can be expected during the game.

In general, "Fortnite" allows you to realize a variety of fantasies: to become the coolest builder, creating a unique outpost, turn into a thunderstorm for monsters, or happily smash everything that comes in, just to bring more valuable and useful material to the base ... So there is something to do here for everyone.
