The question of all questions: Is there THE best route in Fortnite’s fun multiplayer mode Battle Royale? A Redditor is trying to find an answer to this question – and maps out a promising route!
One question occupies most Battle Royale players: Is there THE one route? The one patent solution that guarantees a victory against the 99 opposing players? To get straight to the point – No, there isn’t!
Every game is fundamentally different and presents varying conditions. The opponents do not always behave the same way, the loot is distributed differently and last but not least the storm (the death zone) changes its location with every game.
To be honest, this is what makes a Battle Royale game so appealing. The Redditor Hesoner has now published his very own tactic, with which he managed to win four games in a row. We present his tactic and route to you, as well as what you need to prepare for if you want to emerge victorious from the match!
The route – With loot and overview to victory!
Abundance of loot, fast progress, and calm – with these advantages Hesoner describes “his” route. The landing point is on the northeastern edge of the map directly on an ice cream truck. From there, you work your way southwest to relative center of the map to be flexible in reacting to the eye of the storm.
A major advantage of the route: You fall upon the enemies who have landed further inland. The exact path has been wonderfully visualized by the Redditor in the following image:
In the following, we explain the exact route, where the hot spots are and where to find the best loot!
First an ice cream – and then cuddle the teddies!
The starting point is the northeastern edge of the map. Where you need to land is easy to recognize, it’s an ice cream truck (1). Up to two treasure chests and one ammunition crate can be found here.
Then you march south to a hill where a teddy bear sits (2). There is also a treasure chest to loot here, and you have a good view of the surrounding areas. Scan the area for enemies; specifically, the two houses to the north are more frequented than the rest of the route (3).
Because the next stop is those houses. If enemies come towards you, you can easily take them out and save yourself the detour through the houses. In the houses, you can find up to 3 treasure chests and ammunition spots.
Off to the farm!
Directly southwest of the two houses is an open field that doesn’t hold any crates, but at least two loot drops (4). Be careful here not to be seen by opposing players.
Adjacent, you will find a barn that you can loot at your leisure. Here, the chance of picking up blue and purple items is particularly high. You can also find an ammunition package here (5).
To the southeast of the barn, it continues to the large willow tree. This spot is also quite popular, and you may run into opponents who have been causing trouble in the Wailing Woods (6). Two treasure chests and an ammunition stash are waiting to be looted by you.
Looting caravans and tunnels!
Directly south of the willow tree you will find a caravan that doesn’t hold any crates, but at loot drops a high chance of blue items. Since the caravan is on a hill, you again have a good view of the surrounding areas (7).
Next, head east to two more houses, just waiting to be looted by you. Again, you can find up to three treasure and ammunition crates (8).
Beware of the tomatoes!
Now head straight south to the bridge. Caution: You are dangerously close to Tomato Town, but you have a good overview of the city to take out the occasional unwary opponent (9). You can find a treasure chest and ammunition to replenish your stock here as well.
Further south, you can stock up on materials – you can break up to 250 units of stone from the rocks. Be aware of your surroundings – gathering resources always makes noise, which can alert nearby enemies to you (10).
To the southeast of the “stone quarry” you will find a truck that is rarely visited by other players. Ideally, you can grab two treasure chests and ammunition here (11).
Once you have covered all the mentioned places, you should have a considerable arsenal of weapons with enough ammunition and, as a bonus, a good amount of stone for building fortifications. Note that not all chests are always present, ideally you have looted 15 treasure chests and 11 ammunition spots – a remarkable value!
And what’s next?
From here you must be flexible, depending on where the eye of the storm is, you need to move discreetly there. Be attentive and use any cover you can find.
The stuff collected based on the presented route should definitely be useful for the showdown. Of course, it doesn’t just depend on the route. Your weapon skills, along with your strategic understanding when building fortifications and cover, also determine victory or defeat.
The route works in every game mode, be it solo, duo or squad mode.
