If you are wondering how Fortnite works, this practical tip will help you. We explain the game principle and also how you can play the game yourself for free.
This is how Fortnite works
Fortnite has different modes and was originally a co-op survival game in which you had to build a base with allies and fight off zombies. In 2017, however, a Battle Royale mode was added free of charge, which makes the game one of the most played games currently.
- When talking about Fortnite, the Battele Royale mode is usually meant.
- In this free online mode, up to 100 players enter an arena that they can enter by jumping off a flying bus.
- The goal is to be the last survivor.
- First of all, the players have nothing but a pickaxe. With this, you can immediately attack other players or collect materials to build elements such as walls and floors. These are very important as cover or for climbing.
- In the arena, the area in which the players can stay is getting smaller during the game round. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the map and at the same time to the hostile players.
- To go into battle, players will find weapons, potions, and other useful items in the world.
- Fortnite Battle Royale has over 250 million registered players.
