It is a common narrative that higher ground gives you an advantage in Fortnite. Even though this is true, you should refrain from over committing just to gain the height advantage. Instead, give up on reaching the higher ground after a few attempts and then focus on destroying the opponent’s base.

With every new season and update, Epic Games changes Fortnite’s meta to keep the game relevant and happening. The developers mainly do so by vaulting/unvaluting weapons, new POIs, and new items. Adapting to these changes is arguably the most important tip to get better at Fortnite.

Never stick to a single play style for a long time and reshape it constantly. Weapons like Charge Shotgun and Lever Action Shotgun are perfect examples where the community disregarded these weapons, only because they required a different play style. It comes as no surprise that the players who quickly adapted to these new weapons are now dominating the lobbies.
