The popular battle royale streamer Dr Disrespect, hardened by H1Z1 and PUBG, shows slight weaknesses when it comes to building in Fortnite. This is precisely the aspect that sets Fortnite apart from PUBG. But building in Fortnite needs to be learned.
Dr Disrespect became a popular streamer on Twitch in 2017. With his hyper-masculine attitude and skillful shooter abilities, the entertainer steadily increased his following with streams of PUBG and H1Z1. Currently, he holds the world record for the most concurrent viewers of a single streamer.
Fortnite is like PUBG, but with a building mode
Currently, the hot battle royale game is Fortnite, with its comic look. Many players familiar with battle royales are checking it out now.
Fortnite has a special twist that other games lack: a building mode. Actually, Fortnite is a coop shooter where players can build bases to protect themselves from zombies. When Epic designed the PvP mode, they kept the building.
In Fortnite, experienced players can quickly build stairs, erect fortresses, or safely descend steep mountains with the right technique. This is precisely what Dr Disrespect attempts here in a clip.
The problem is: You can only place these floor tiles in Fortnite if they are in contact with a solid object. The first tiles still had contact with the mountain, then the builder oriented himself to the center, lost contact with the mountain, and the fall into the depths was the logical consequence.
Stairs often lead to death as well
Another mistake that builders in Fortnite often make is forgetting their self-safety when building “high stairs.” Because all built objects in Fortnite collapse when they eventually lose ground contact. This means: You can literally shoot someone’s air castle from under their butt.
Here, a “stairway to heaven” leads to an easy victory.
Minigun turns structures into splinters in Fortnite
Building in Fortnite has become even more dangerous since the mini-gun was introduced in the game. It quickly turns almost anything into splinters.
