How does it play? In battle royale fashion, up to 100 players per match compete against each other in Fortnite. The play area shrinks over the course of a match as a storm closes in. You can fight solo or in teams. The last surviving player or team wins.

At the beginning of a match, you jump out of a bus over the playfield and land at any point on the map. Once on the ground, you search houses and chests for building materials, weapons, and items.

With the pickaxe, you can break down buildings. Collected materials like wood or metal are used to build new structures, stairs, or bridges. This is helpful for defense and also for attack.
