Are you afraid to land in Fortnite: Battle Royale in the Tilted Towers? No problem. With our guide, you will survive the house battles and walk out of the city with tons of loot!
The Tilted Towers are like the Bild newspaper of Fortnite – everyone talks about it, but no one wants to see the place from the inside. So, who are the two dozen crazies landing in this maze of buildings every round?
What seems like pointless self-torment has a significant reason, as the Tilted Towers offer several advantages:
- more loot than you can carry,
- many opportunities to work on your combat skills, and
- more time to enjoy the sights, as the city is almost always in the first safe zone.
Moreover, the buildings provide cover and plenty of space to hide. Even passionate trap setters can gather plenty of materials for funny kills with a bit of strategic thinking.
But like any major city, the Tilted Towers also have some social hotspots where things can get hectic. Here, tactical skill is required! If you land cleverly, you can ambush fighters with a bit of loot and snag some kills.
We turn every stone in the Tilted Towers: Where do most players land? How can you capitalize on that? After our guide, you won’t have to fear the city anymore!
Basic Tips for Landing in the Tilted Towers
Whoever has a weapon first has the advantage – this principle applies across the map of Fortnite: Battle Royale, even more so in the Tilted Towers. How to get to the city before anyone else, is revealed in our guide to landing faster!
In the Tilted Towers, make sure that you either
- hold the high ground – meaning an elevated position,
- or stay within a building
Whoever sprints across the central square right after landing will experience a gauntlet that will most likely end in the lobby of the game. Therefore, always land on a building or at least directly next to one to seek refuge.
If you play in duo or team mode, always land together at one spot. Distributed teams will have no chance, as they will have 75% of their firepower stripped away. If you are ambushed by multiple opponents, your team cannot help you – and you will have to become the passive spectator afterwards.
Avoid the tall buildings in the center – for now!
The tall building with open side walls on the roof is probably the most popular landing spot on the entire map. The building is large and offers tons of weapons and items. Many players land here – whoever finds a weapon first has a big advantage.
Avoid this building – luck decides who remains alive after landing here. However, this does not mean that you cannot return later. In fact, a fort built on the roof of this building offers a perfect all-round view.
If the zone’s progression indicates towards the Tilted Towers, you can build a home there and have a complete view of the city (and any latecomers from other parts of the map).
Beware of traps!
The Tilted Towers are predestined for trap use. Those who explore the large buildings will quickly become careless. Traps can be placed in places that seem illogical at first glance – and they can provide the trap setter with easy kills.
Therefore, always move slowly through the buildings and keep an eye on the ceilings. If you have traps yourself, you can of course place them in a hard-to-see spot.
Keep an eye on the surrounding areas of Tilted Towers
Many players focus only on what is happening directly in the city – a big mistake. Specifically on the south and west sides, other players can lie in wait on hills and capture simple victories after a fight, as players in the city are focused only on their immediate surroundings.
Therefore, always keep an eye on the surrounding areas if possible. If you need to heal and there is no cover – build yourself one (including a roof). This makes it harder for distant players to take aim at you.
If you have a sniper rifle or a similar long-range weapon, you can also turn the tables and take out careless players from a building.
Where should I land in the Tilted Towers?
Tastes differ here for sure – I have discovered the southern zone of the city as my preferred landing spot. Here is a church tower (which I avoid) and directly west a small four-story house that provides a good foundation of items to start with.
The house is also rarely approached. Then you go directly south down a steel staircase to a building that is almost never visited and offers great loot. Both on the roof and inside the building itself, there are various loot spots. Through a small hideout, you can access the basement, which may also contain a chest.
Now you have several options:
- If the city is too crowded, you can exit it to the southwest through the ravine and try your luck elsewhere or
- you can walk east up the hill to the next building.
If you choose the building east of the church tower, you can go up to the roof and get a first all-around view of the city. But be careful, there is a great danger from both the building in the center and the mountain behind you!
Now the players in the Tilted Towers should be quite thinned out – so you can venture into the center. Look for the roofs of the tall buildings as quickly as possible to gain an advantage over your remaining opponents.
Keep your eyes peeled and pay attention to the surrounding buildings. It is easy to be caught by a player through a window.
