Fortnite is everywhere and if you've been playing the game for a while now it
can be tricky to play with someone who's new. So how can you introduce a new
player, whether that's your mate from school or even your mum and dad into the
cultural phenomenon of Fortnite. To answer that question we've asked one of
Australia's top streamers Loserfruit to show us how she'd introduced
fortnight to someone who hasn't played the game before. And that newcomer is me.
While I've been playing games most of my life, I'm more familiar with one of these
rather than one of these. So can Loserfruit get me my first
Victory Royale? Here's how to walk a newbie through their first games of Fortnite.
Loserfruit: So Fortnite is Battle Royale better which means there's about a hundred
people flying in from a massive party bus, going down, and it's the last one to
survive wins. Wins the whole thing. You get guns get better guns you
kill people, get their guns, and you build to protect yourself from shots and
just to get a high advantage from high ground.
Loserfruit: I'm gonna go in.
Pete: All right. Loserfruit: Now get down here, get down the stairs.
Pete: Down the stairs? Down I go. Loserfruit: Yep, yep, just go.
Loserfruit: Look in this room. Get the chest in there.
Loserfruit: You can see our opponets right over there.
Pete: I can't see 'em just yet.
Pete: Oh dear.
Pete: Now I might not have played much Fortnite but I get the impression you saved my bacon there. Loserfruit: I really did.
Loserfruit: I wasn't expecting to either. That person had a good gun.
Loserfruit: Can you get over this wall? Build a ramp.
Pete: So the ramp is on F3?
Loserfruit: If you haven't changed it to anything else.
Pete: Right the default
Pete: Here we go! Look at me go!
Pete: So it's a pretty common thing for the players of
your skill to be finding something that's a bit less cumbersome than
smashing F3?
Loserfruit: F3 is a little far away.
Loserfruit: Yeah having it on a close key like a B or something.
Loserfruit: A lot of people have
it on their mouse buttons.
Pete: Now ramps seem to be the absolute most common thing that
you guys have building and that's just because not only does it offer you that
immediate protection in front of you but it also gives you that high ground to
work around very quickly as well so obviously the best advice for someone
new is get very for me a little building ramps straight away yeah?
Loserfruit: Yes definitely.
I mean obviously having a feel for guns and shooting and everything. You can use like
normal cover. Or you could use my cover.
Would you like to build a staircase to that massive tower over there?
Pete: From where we are?
Loserfruit: Just from down here.
And you can kind of build around the building. Yeah.
Pete: There we go
Hey that's at least six ramps so we're
triple now.
Loserfruit: Okay we don't want build too far off the edge.
Pete: Not too high?
Loserfruit: This must be funny for someone just looking at us.
Pete: Picking the same target right?
Loserfruit: Yeah yeah applying
pressure because even if you're missing his shots you're still shooting at their
walls and their ramps and you still get forcing them to build defensively which
helps me out. Just grenades, shooting
you can even build your own walls
Just attracting some of the attention away is also helpful too
Pete: I get the feeling in this equation me having guns is not the most important thing
Loserfruit: Gift. This is a gift.
Pete: What is the shiny llama?
Loserfruit: There's only three in a game spread
out the map. Touch it! Press E and touch it!
Loserfruit: Oh my god. You know these are very rare by the way. It's a good day if I get one of these.
Pete: Yay! Loserfruit: Run through the stuff!
Run through it!
Ah man!
You're just so lucky!
Loserfruit: I wouldn't be helpful if I didn't teach you how to do that.
Pete: Aw, the party got interrupted.
Loserfruit:He's right here, right here, shoot at him
He's right beneath us.
Get him. You can do it.
Pete: He's definitely run away.
Loserfruit: He's just run into the other room
Loserfruit: He's just there. Left corner, left corner!
Pete: Should I dance? Is that what I have to do?
I'm sorry Sebastian.
Pete: So was Loserfruit able to turn me into a Fortnite
pro? Let's check the scoreboard.
So sure I'm not going to be a Fortnite pro
anytime soon but thanks to Loserfruit I do feel much more confident to be able
to get back in there and start building and if you help your Fortnite noobie
with these same tips hopefully they will too.
