To say that Fortnite is a pretty popular game would be like calling Michael Jackson a pretty popular musician. The kind of following and cultural impact that Fortnite has had is something that has not been seen since the days of Super Mario. It's not just that a lot of people are playing Fortnite, it's that the game has infiltrated the pop culture consciousness in a manner that is almost unpreceꦫdented. A lot of that success comes from the fact that the game is free to pay, which means that a lot more pꦕeople who wouldn't normally be interested in shelling out dough for yet another multiplayer are getting hooked on to the game.

There is also the inherent absurdity of the game itself. Most multiplayer games take pride in being as gritty and realistic as possible as they want the players to know that they are engaged in a serious activity with serious stakes. Fortnite flips the script by making the whole thing seem like a fevered, cartoon dream. With each new successive season of the game, we get a gradually unfolding lore, and what the complete backstory behind the game might look like, no one can directly tell, but it will have to include aliens, superheroes, dinosaurs, fifth-dimensional planes, black magic, and teleportation. That's a pretty tall order to fill for the makers of the game. Before you dive into another round of Fortnite mayhem, here are some 🎃awesome tidbits about the game that players sometimes forget, but deserve attention due to their fun and often bizarre nature🍒:

30 ಞ Land Faster Via Sea 💞Drop

Here's a useful little tip if you want to skip the leisurely parachuting onto the area of battle: the glider that you use to reach the combat area ne𓃲eds to be at a certain height before it opens; however, this only applies if you are gliding above a land mass.

Take the glider♈ out over a water surface by flying out of the island. Then, descend to the most comfortable height and release the glider. You can dive towards the land much faster and have more time to gather resources before the new round starts.

29 ꦉ Lo🔯ot The Woods And Trees

In most of these types of Battle Royale games, the ammo, medical supplies, and other resources are typically located in towns and cities. Fortnite messes with this trope by also supplying the surrounding forest areas with plenty💜 of loot.

So, if you are looking to pick up supplies for the big battle, don't think that you need to travel as fast as possible to the nearest town to gather supplies. Head to the woods and start hunting for the things you need the most, and don't forget about the gဣold chests hidden in secluded nooks and crannies!

28 🅷 Stick To The Main Island

The game battle takes place on an island that is one of♈ the many islands in the surrounding area. With player curiosity being what it is, you will often find a gamer or two completely losing interest in the main battle and will instead keep trying to reach one of the nearby islands, just to see what's on them.

Nothing is on them. Those other islands are just there for decoration. If you try to get t🙈o any of the islands other than the main one, you will fall into the sea and pass away immediately.

27 Starไt From A High Point

You can tell which player is new to the game when they start the game from the ground and try to enter houses using their doors. The most experienced Battle R🐷oyale fighters understand the advantage of falling on a tree or the top of a house at the beginning of the game.

From the tree, jump onto the roof of a house and make your way inside with a pickax. This lets you immediately access the attic, which is usually chock-full of gol🦂d chests with all sorts of cool loot for you to raid.

26 Share Resour♔ces With Teammates 🌌

In the immense comp💧etitive environment of the game, players often develop an “every man for himself” mentality, but winning the game is as much about teamwork as it is about personal skill. If your partners in crime are lacking in a particular kind of loot, you can supply it for them.

Simply open your own inventory and look at the stats of the🔯 collected weapons. If you have some suppl🍰ies in access that your teammates can use, throw them out. This will toss the item onto the ground nearby, which your teammate can then pick up.

25 The Friendly Blue Circles 𝔍

Everyone likes destr🧸oying ra📖ndom, inanimate things within the game. This is also a way to get Easter eggs and resources hidden inside the objects. During the course of destroying an item, you may have noticed little blue circles appear over the item.

Many players ignore these circles, but they are actually there t🅰o help you. The blue circles act as markers and indicate which parts of the object under attack are most vulnerable to damage. Hitting these critical spots allows you to destroy the object much more quickly while also receiving more resources.

24 💞 Build A Trap

The game allows players to build theirܫ own defenses in the form of forts and embankments, but what many players don't realize is that you can al✨so use your building skills to create traps for your enemies.

Fortnite all💎ows players to build around enemies. What this means is, if you are fast enough, and your enemy is incapacitated briefly in some manner, you can quickly build a room around them. Onc෴e you find yourself walled in from all sides, all you can do is wait for the enemy to come and finish you off inside your little cage.

23 Become John Wick 𓆉

Taking characters from pop culture and putting them in the middle of the game has worked very well for Fortnite. And what bette🧸r character is there to include i⛎n a Battle Royale free-for-all than the Baba Yaga himself, Mr. John Wick.

To get the Wick skin, first, you have to play through a host of challenges in the Battle Pass. After you are able to successfully complete your missions, you gain access to the John Wick look upgrade. Players who have reached tier 100 and com🅺pleted seven more challenges also gain access to a glider similar to the Mustang driven by Wick in the movie.

22 🙈 The Secret Bunker 🦩

Imagine how useful an underground bunker would be in a game like Fortnite. Well, you don't have to imagine it. Such a construction can be found by players who venture into Snobby Shores and find an enormous, orange buildi✨ng with mushrooms in front of it.

Enter the building and find a bo𝓰okshelf that you can smash into the ground. Behind the bookshelf will be a secret flight of stairs. Head down the stairs to get to the underground bunker, where you will find plenty of ammo and loot. There's also all kinds of additional survivalist equipment.

21 Be𝓀come An Architect

The๊re's really not much you can do with your building skills aside from building basic defensive structures, but what many players forget to do is choose a bunker design꧋ from the many choices laid out for you in the blueprints of the structures. This allows the player to play around with the choices and create some unexpected construction.

For instance, inverting the roof of your structure can give you bend🍬able areas to hide behind while shooting at enemies. You have a lot of freedom to think outside the box and create defensive structures that baffle and confound your enemies while you rain down fire.
