How To Win End Circles In Fortnite?

When we talk about the best games out there in the world right now, Fortnite tops that list. In the BR genre, there are very few games that can compete with its popularity and complexity. It is not just your regular loot-shoot-playzone kind of a BR. The element of building makes this game twice as more complex than it actually looks.

For quite a while, the endgame dynamics were different. However, with the onset of the flood, several new elements were brought in Chapter 2, Season 3. Initially, the endgames were becoming a heal-off competition. Nevertheless, right now, with all the latest updates, it seems much more balanced. 

Best endgame strategies in Fortnite

The end circle, or the last storm, can be a very tricky scenario to box yourself in. There are a few key aspects one has to follow in order to play it smart. It is not entirely going to be a w-keyed wall-stair-floor build, and it takes a lot of patience. To survive in the last storm, with patience, one needs precision, and the ability to surprise the opponent.

Scout well and pick your fights smartly

One of the key features that almost all the pros would agree with in an endgame situation has to do with vision. Holding pieces, collecting a multitude of mats, and playing it real slow, these are few traits to be kept in mind. With this survival technique, one focuses on editing and building with just the right amount. Sometimes that might mean a tradeoff between wood and metal. In all honesty, if one survives, they can always pick up more metal and brick for further use.

The first fight in the last circle can be won with floppers, with a harpoon and also with a launchpad jump kill. There are various ways to be aggressive. Thus, this style is more relaxed and passive. When you enter an enemy’s build, make sure to edit only a chunk of portion for visibility. Try to get in a shot or two, but if that doesn’t work, do not rush in and engage. 

Instead, this trick teaches us how to hold back, build a wall upfront, and start being sneaky. This method of engagement includes editing the other pieces or breaking them down to get inside a build. Secure your position with a cone-floor, or whatever the situation demands. Take it for granted that the opponent will edit on you once you are in their build. Wait patiently until the enemy is visible and then take your time with that peek-edit. Once one gets used to taking players down this covertly, it automatically makes them calmer. Thus, patience is the key to this trick.

Aggressive builds and box fights

Now, for the naturally aggressive players who like to take the fight right from the start, this might need some training. Simply because aggression can make the mind a narrow place to see from. Most of the time, the best solution is to launchpad into the zone and pray to God that no one snipes you before you land on someone’s build. That is not how the champions play, not always, unless it’s strategized.

Getting comfortable in a box fight needs to be ingrained first. This is not the position where one wants to fall prey to nervousness. Next up, if you are just in and want to play it safe, make sure your walls are of metal. Aggressive box plays are synonymous with rapid-edit and rotate. One always has to be ready. The thing is, either the opponent or you will try an edit or shoot at the wall. Use this moment for your advantage by hiding in a spot they least expect. 

As soon as the opponent takes a breather or peeks or does something ridiculous, take that shot. Sometimes, when this doesn’t go in your favor, edit a wall, and then build a staircase to change locations. Not necessarily running away, but gaining a better position on the opponent.

Start games uncontested, play the zone

This might be one of the most passive ways of doing things, but if you are new to Fortnite and need a win, this is the best way. This strategy is quite a popular trick, and the difficulty is in finding an uncontested place. However, once the location is fixed, one has to focus on loot. Smart loot doesn’t mean 300 metal, and 400 stone jammed all at once in your inventory.

The main aspect of this trick is to be as sneaky as you can. If you cannot avoid a fight, then make sure you have adequate box fight skills. Evading the enemy might not be the best option, as they can definitely track you down. Subsequently, fighting in these situations builds up confidence. The target over here is to reach the end zone with proper loot and a stacked up inventory. Mats are a must, plus, if you want to play with floppers and chugs, then that’s all right too. Although, the end zone is all about the way you fight to survive and not just survive. 

How do the pros do it in Fortnite Tournaments?

It is difficult to find a common pattern if all the pros are considered. Some like the launchpad jump, some like to play floppers, some love to force others into box fights. All these aspects make a player choose the right strategy in Fortnite. To build up confidence, one has to keep trying all these methods. The variable nature of the end zone makes a few things constant. For instance, one has to rotate early. This doesn’t entirely depend on whether the player is close to the zone or far from it.

In a tournament like FNCS, rotations can be the trickiest, yet the most advantageous tactic. Knowing when to hold people close, and when to edit and shoot has to go along with watching an opening to rotate. In tourneys, you want to be in the position to hold people in your builds, not the opposite way around. Practicing enough rotations and watching the blanks at the same time should ingrain a sixth sense in muscle memory.
