6 Tips to Win Fortnite Mobile

Sometimes you find yourself needing to scratch that itch and drop Tilted when you’re on-the-go or away from your primary system, and I hope these tips help you get going.

Even if you're familiar and comfortable playing on PC/console, don't forget to make these adjustments when you load it up on mobile.

Tip #1: Configure your settings

After you survive the brutal 1.7 GB download, the first thing you will want to do is head straight in to settings and start to configure them for the most optimal experience. In my experience, the gameplay will be the smoothest with these set…

• Auto Open Doors: ON. As you approach doors, they will automatically open, negating the need to tap your screen and saving you time.

• Auto Sort Consumables to Right: ON. I find my inventory to be more organized and easier to navigate when this is turned on.

• Auto Pick-Up Weapons: OFF. You may think you want this on so to get a head start on opponents, but I find that it clutters up my inventory too fast with unessential items that I will drop anyway.

• Matchmaking Region: SET TO CLOSEST REGION. You’re going to want the best ping possible, and sometimes the auto region select can get it wrong. Select the region with the lowest ping and avoid a headache in the future.

• Voice Chat: ON. Dropping in to a duo or squad game? You’ll want to be able to hear your teammates and you won’t be able to without this turned on.

• Push To Talk: ON. However, your teammates won’t want to hear that bag of Doritos you just opened so turn on push to talk to keep them happy. Turn it off if you’re in a generally quiet place.

These settings are what works best for me, but that doesn’t mean they’ll work for you. Try them all out and find your preference!

Tip #2: Get your sensitivity right

Fortnite Mobile’s touch controls are a lot different than what you would be used to on a PC or console. Due to the nature of the game, the constant surveying and moving your camera around, you will spend a lot of time swiping away at your phone screen.

Touch sensitivity is a really personal thing and everyone will have their own preference, so don’t go copying your favorite streamer or YouTuber thinking it will automatically work for you. Start dropping a couple solo matches and pay attention to how fast, or slow, your sensitivity feels and keep tweaking it until you feel like it’s the most comfortable for you.
