Fortnite’s fun battle royale mode is easy to learn but hard to master. Many different playstyles can lead to success. How do you play Fortnite: Battle Royale? We present the classic player types – and in the end, it’s up to you!
Millions of players are now enjoying Epic’s take on the battle royale mode. The game is extremely popular – partly because many playstyles can lead to success.
Do you prefer to proceed slowly and cautiously, or like a bull in a china shop? Do you tend to avoid the hot zones on the map, or do you jump right into the fray?
Let us know in the survey at the end of the article which category you feel you belong to.
1. The Rambo
John Rambo from the movie series of the same name with Sylvester Stallone in the lead role represents the reckless type, who does not shy away from confrontation and always fights at the front line.
The Rambo in Fortnite: Battle Royale prefers to land in large cities like Retail Row, Pleasant Park, or Greasy Grove and immediately jumps into battle.
Rambos tend to extremes – either they leave the cities as winners with great loot, or they quickly meet their end, only to jump back into the fray. Rambos want to decide the games quickly and constantly seek confrontation throughout a round.
2. The Bush Warrior
The Bush Warrior is the opposite of the Rambo and mainly acts in secrecy. No weapon in the world generates as much delight as a bush in a chest. Disguised as a bush, the warriors sneak around the map and eliminate careless targets who do not notice the bush.
The Bush Warrior’s favorite weapon is the sniper rifle – one shot to eliminate opponents without drawing attention to themselves. The Bush Warrior is one of the most hated players since the map is littered with bushes. No one can check all these bushes for enemies.
The Bush Warrior has a hard time in the endgame. Opponents who have built fortifications shoot at the bushes to eliminate hidden enemies. By then, bushes must reveal themselves.
3. The Architect
The Architect loves the building mode. Complex structures must be built high everywhere, from which enemies can be shot at. Architects land in places where many resources can be gained.
Architects prefer to build their structures at the edge of the storm, to always have an overview of the map and to eliminate stragglers from the storm.
Especially in the endgame, a well-placed fortress is a blessing and greatly increases the chances of winning, as long as opponents do not destroy the fortress.
The loot of defeated opponents is only collected when the available area of the map gets smaller or the air is clear. Until then, the loot can be used as perfect bait for careless players.
4. The Ninja
The Ninja often gets to the endgame without a single kill. The Ninja lands in remote locations, collects only the essentials, and does nothing that may attract attention.
The Ninja prefers to have the water at the edge of the map or the storm at his back, to avoid surprise attacks. He moves toward the eye of the storm along the edge of the map, revealing himself as late as possible. Forests and buildings are his favorite hiding spots.
The Ninja knows how to handle traps excellently, placing them directly in hiding spots to take out careless players.
Since the Ninja avoids confrontation, he must make do with poor loot and relies on luck and careless opponents in the endgame. Ninjas and Rambos should not play together on a team – conflict potential!
5. The Opportunist
The Opportunist is the looter among Fortnite players. Loud battles attract him like light attracts moths. He stays hidden until the fight is over and strikes when the remaining player is regenerating health or looting the fallen opponent’s loot.
The Opportunist quickly notices where battles are taking place and does everything to determine the exact position of the enemies for a surprise attack.
Not infrequently, the Opportunist wins a game this way.
6. The Aimless
The Aimless always lands in a different place on the map to explore as many angles as possible. He has no fixed goal and reluctantly bends to the storm’s progress. The Aimless follows no tactic or strategy, he collects loot and lets himself be carried along by the storm.
Since the Aimless neither looks at the clock nor the remaining opponents, he often lands in the storm more than he would like. Confrontations are avoided if possible, and in doubt, a hiding place is sought until the opponents disappear.
Aimless players reach the endgame less often and do not quite know what to do there. They let the situation unfold and just see what happens (which often ends with a game over).
