"Use failure as a lesson versus an emotional state" hits hard! This chapter I've changed a good bit of my strategy, as mentioned in this video. Used to, I'd hide and wait for opportunities to win the game, versus being aggessive and looking for fights to help me improve. Doing this has helped me win ALOT more games than before.

[frqde]

Im very impressed with this Toby. This is pretty much spot on. It pains me to watch people spend 75% of their game looting just to die and go back to the lobby, and repeat everything again. You're 100% correct that every death is your fault to an extent, once you take accountability and actively make changes you will see the progression. You cannot just wait for everyone else to make mistakes so you can pick up the easy win, you NEED to get better at fighting.... my biggest tip is FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT... its just a video game, nothing is stopping you.

[progger]

Big agree on this, I literally have forced myself to move away from my "comfort zone" of hitting my favourite drop spots, gearing up and then looking for third party action. I have noticed a big difference. For a frame of reference, I just started playing FN with my son almost a month ago and yy background is mainly Tarkov and other mil-sims hence the initial passive play. I am really loving the "W-key" mentality. Been watching your videos since I started playing last month and I truly appreciate your content. Thanks so much!

[jduffy]

Bushcampdad would like to have a few words with you… 😂

[Alcadria]

So, Toby, I was bored and couldn't sleep a few nights ago. I got five back to back solo wins, one was ranked. The best gun I had all those times was a purple, and it was an SMG; I don't care for SMGs. I was taking every fight I could and finished with a 20 bomb in my fifth lobby. I've become pretty aggressive and love going into fights, but when I discovered your channel during MEGA I was an anxious freaking MESS at all times. I decided to, as you said in a recent process, let the system doing its thing. That has been the best decision I made of my own accord around November of last year and I've learned a lot simply from watching your gameplay.

That said, I will admit there are times I will avoid fights until the end because I know I'm good enough to win. Even when I do, I've become a much better player than I was even this time last year and I attribute a lot of that to your videos and advice. So thank you! I've gone from fearing Fortnite and end game, to now loving the game wholeheartedly.

Game on.

I actually had a victory that was an example of how getting comfortable in combat is important.

Came down to me and a guy who used passive tatics to amass 4 medallions, he was setting one under a car and sniping people out of the driver seat from a nearby bush. He must've been loaded with Mythics and Legendaries. But when I closed the gap, and applied some juking and right shoulder peeks I've learned from this channel, I beat him with a Green Auto Shotgun against him using Oscar's without him even breaking my shields because he choked.

One of my proudest Victories because I saw how important using tatics and getting comfortable is.

This video makes for great complimentary content to the earlier video where, Toby Wan, you discuss anxiety, etc. My friend & I discussed, early on when we started playing together, how we were using Fortnite to train ourselves to deal with our stressors better and handle real life situations where we tend to feel extremely uncomfortable in situations involving confrontation.

[ZVossGaming]

Ok, so you watched me play and got so frustrated you made a video. Point taken. You're right. I got my homework now.👊

[duck_feeder_]

This is such good advice Toby. I just recently made this mental shift and it’s a game changer. Being the hunter instead of the hunted makes all the difference in fights. It allows me to stay calm and execute on the things you’ve taught me instead of panicking when I’m thrown into a fight I didn’t expect or choose.

[CrazyGamerJC-YT]

This is great advice. In my games I try to pick spots that might or might not be contested off spawn simply because I hate getting into multiple fights without sheild or ammo. It's even worse If I'm being 50/50 for floor loot, I will loose the pick up battle 99% of the time. However once I've clear that POI I start being intentional about looking for players, I almost never play forecast any more.

What you are saying goes back to conversations I've had with comp players where they've said basically "you have to learn to take what you have, not what you want, and make something out of it"

Can you play a entire game never getting to a mod bench because you are so dependant on the mods to make the weapons useful? I've started trying this in some of my solos.

[SeanTWright]

Your tips are spot on, Toby! Thanks for your superb, informative content. Much appreciated from an OG here in grey UK!

[Christa]

Many players aim to get multiple mythics and medallions. These are my favourite players to eliminate - I’m comfortable landing anywhere and taking a fight with anything. and usually find good loot from opponents.

[BZman]

Lol yesterday we were rebooted and with gray pistols, beat a full medallion team that pushed us 😂. Combat and training helps a ton, also knowing how to play with your squad helps- the more combat you get into as a squad, the more you understand how their style is and thus creates team chemistry.

[El-Parco_sweaty_Lad]

Good Ideas! I’m just getting back into Fortnite after a few years of taking a break and am considering starting to play zero build since people are really sweaty at building now! So your strategies are very helpful!

[broll]

This is solid advice- just started playing more and more over the past month and I definitely have gotten more focused on getting a W than getting better- great vid!❤

[SomeRandomGk]

Oh my God Toby, yes yes yes. I have so many friends that argue with me that Fortnite Battle Royal is a "survival game.' But I agree with you that having this mindset of "I do better in the match the more I survive in the game. The better I am at surviving, the better I do in games. I just survive until the end and 50/50 the last fight. That is how I maintain my 10% win rate. If I maintain a 10% win rate, I am happy." I wince when my friends call Fortnite Battle Royal a survival game, or a hybird survival/shooter game. Some say that "Fortnite isn't a shooter."

[caldadu]

I agree. And this way, the other players farm and loot for me. So efficient. In other hand, i never stop. And rushing at the end of the game cause me trouble, third parties, and i really don't win. I think, it's important to keep a balance, and play for kill in early mid game and the win when around 10 people left

[sealuai]

i've watched like thousands of fortnite help videos to get better but strangely your content really clicked with me. thank you so much for helping me with a lot of stuff, there's times i'll be playing fortnite and listen to you in the background lol

After playing and getting eliminated a LOT in my first season of Fortnite (Chapter 5 Season 1), I actually change my focus and actually go in on the chaos and that ended up with me winning 5 Zero Build matches throughout the season and I don't feel bad about losing a lot of the time. I always tell myself that there is another match or another game and I will try and put some effort into playing better. You don't get good on your first match of the day, learning and having fun is MORE IMPORTANT than the victories. If you are not having fun, what hell of a game are you playing?

I have learned a very valuable tip for any newcomer like me who wants to know to "git gud" at Zero Build or Battle Royale. If you think winning is your primary goal - nah ah! Your priority is *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY!?* Yeap, WIN THE GAME should NOT be your priority. You know how bad and gutted you feel about getting eliminated by other players, learn what got you into that and change your approach. EVERYONE that isn't you or your team can eliminate you, they are just as hostile as the bosses on the map. You need to make THEM lose and you need to give THEM the worst match and make them feel TERRIBLE! If you're sad from your recent elimination, take a quick breather and get into the clear mindset. If you're mad, do the same thing as you would with being sad and use that agression you built up on THEM.

Of course, think about _predator VS prey_ .If you have a low kill count during the match and you decide to stay hidden and focus on loot, you will eventually be maxed out and you'll be forced OUT of hiding by the storm, like a bunch of captured prey who were forced out. If players find you looting without anyone else around, you're telling them that YOU give up and you're a terrible clutz - sending YOU back to the Lobby. Remember, you need THEM to go to the Lobby, NOT YOU! Your goal is to *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY*, not RUIN YOUR DAY. If that happened you in a match, remember the goal I said - *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY!?* Quickly get your loot when you land and start finding THEM. Focus on being the predator, NOT the prey. Every player is your prey that you need to hunt, some are VERY skilled and some are SHY as hell. If you hear a fight nearby, GO THERE! If there's a 50:50, interfere it and END THEIR MATCH. Third partying can be a VERY successful strategy to rack up kill counts. The two that started will have taken some serious damage. If you see a 50:50 that just ended, END THE SURVIVOR. They're weak! Only escape and hide if you took almost match-ending damage. If they're running away, CHASE THEM! Adapt as you go along, a predator will know a few moves ahead - just like chess.

Remember, the most important goal for you is *RUIN THE OTHERS DAY!?* If you take every opportunity that is there like a fights, the loot, the bosses, the travel methods, and other important things like the weather towers... you will be as GOOD of a player as the ones that you see dominating the matches. If you lose after all of that, doesn't matter - YOU deserve a pat in the back for the effort. YOU should feel happy, YOU are having FUN! THEM, you just *RUIN THEIR DAY!?* and that is exactly IMPORTANT for EVERY match in Zero Build and Battle Royale, and it feels really rewarding + you get a TON of XP! You can see your match results on its tab the Results Screen regardless of your outcome of either you winning or you getting eliminated. You can even see all of the Accolades you got during the match.

You get XP for a lot of your actions including popping a lot of the headdies, even more when you're holding a Victory Crown. You can tell if someone has it literally at the start of the match if they thanked the Battle Bus Driver. Gold text = Victory Crown. You don't need to previously have a victory to get it. When that player gets eliminated, they drop their victory too! If you win with it, it adds a counter to the number of matches won with Victory Crowns which gets resetted every season. You can see that counter if you have the Crowning Achievement Emote. If you don't have that emote, you get given that emote in your first Victory Royale with the Crown. If you get your first ever Victory Royale in Fortnite, you also get a neatly uncommon Umbrella as a Glider. My 1st Victory Royale was a Crown Victory. I was freaking out at that point too. I had about 8 elims at that time which is fine. The reason why I am pointing that out is that Fortnite's Battle Royale modes *_encourages_* you to eliminate players and you get rewarded for doing so. You should be focusing on Quests, especially the *_Survivor Medals_* . This quest is there every season and you get given a reward with different style unlocks, each style is unlocked once you achieve the medal. It goes from Common ALL the way up to Mythic. You have to complete 10 challenges on each medal stage. The Survivor Medals quests focuses you on NOT ONLY *surviving*, but racking up the *elims* and are done step by step, so once you met the conditions of it, you unlock the next step where it is the same thing but MORE! The Medal counts down from 10 to 1 on the stage. You get the style of the medal once you get it down to 0. You'll also unlock the next Medal. DO THESE throughout the season! It gets progressively more difficult, with one of the Legendary Medals quests requesting a Victory Royale. Use the strategies I mentioned and you'll get it in no time.
