From the good old days, when players struggled to even build basic structures, Fortnite has come a long way. Even though the game’s casual user base has steadily declined in the past few months, it still boasts a very active competitive scenario.

Fortnite revolutionized the battle royale genre simply because it offered a lot more than just gun combat. Being good at Fortnite requires players to brush up on several aspects like building, editing, box fighting, aiming, and of course, game sense.

Over the years, certain players have not only mastered these skills but further innovated them to a level that the entire community followed their lead.
