Fortnite Battle Royale: use pocket fortress - how it works

If you use the pocket fortress correctly, Fortnite Battle Royale can give you a huge advantage over other players. In this practical tip, we will show you how to do it.

Getting Started: What Can the Fortnite Battle Royale Pocket Fortress Do?

The pocket fortress is also called "Port-a-Fort" in English. If you throw the item on the ground in front of you, a multi-storey fortress will be built in front of you within seconds.

• The item has the rarity "epic", so it is a purple item. You will find the pocket fortress mainly in golden boxes, more rarely in llamas.
• You can carry up to five pocket fortresses per slot. However, it is usually lucky to find only one Port-a-Fort per round.
• The pocket fortress is three stories high and is made of metal. The walls gain their full strength of 570 points after a few seconds.
• There's a door down in Port-a-Fort. If you step in, you can jump up over the tires.

Fortnite Battle Royale: Tips & Tricks for the Pocket Fortress

If you are not yet very fast with the construction or if you have hardly any materials, the pocket fortress offers a good opportunity for heated battles.

• Do not use the pocket fortress too early in the game unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if the zone is getting closer, you shouldn't waste the pocket fortress.
• When it was built, the fortress made its way through everything. If you throw out the item in a house, the building will be destroyed and you can also collect the materials.
• If you are under fire, you should throw the item on your own feet. As a result, you land directly in the fort and do not have to climb in through the door.
• So that the opponents cannot surprise you from behind, you should always close the upper hole in the pocket fortress. You can also place traps at the bottom of the entrance.
• If available, you can also place a campfire on the hole. When reloading, you can always retreat to the center of the fort and heal.
• Jumping all the way down from the fort usually results in falling damage. Build yourself in a neighboring building or leave the fort through the main entrance.
