Use The Storm To Your Advantage: As the battle rages on, the zones of the map will start to shrink. It’s easy to panic if you’re losing health while caught in the storm, but sometimes it’s a good thing. If you’ve been able to loot plenty of health items, you might be able to last longer. Take time to look behind you, because there’s typically a chance to quickly pick off some noobs running for their lives.

Hug the wall: As you know you can take fall damage from big hills and bulidings but you can save health. when you are falling off a hill you build under your feet or slide down the hill. You would build when falling down a building.

Get familiar with building

When you build its hard when you are new to get familiar with building is test your self by making walls in the lobby. Keep swiching your building to walls,floors,pyramid,and stairswhen you get the hang of it you will be swiching building structure when you need it.

Be Aggressive

This is the most important thing you can do to improve your skills in Fortnite, and it also happens to be the thing most beginners avoid. In a game where surviving is the goal, being aggressive may seem counterintuitive. However, the key to survival is knowing how to best a your enemies in a fight. The more fights you get into, the more practice you get. The more practice you get, the more lethal you become. When you hear shots fired, go towards them. When you see an enemy moving nearby, engage with them.

Master the Healing System

Health is the green bar at the very bottom middle of the screen. Players start the match with max health of 100. Your shield is the blue bar directly above the health bar, and players initially start at zero. The only way to acquire a shield is to loot shield potions or slurp juices from around the map. When you take damage from an enemy, shields are expended before health is affected. However, shields do not protect against fall damage or storm damage, so pay close attention to your health bar.

It's important to remember that players do NOT gain back health over time. Instead, you must find one of four items that can help you gain back your health or acquire a shield, and understanding how all of them work is extremely useful. First, there are bandages. Each bandage will return 15 health, but heal you to above 75 health. In order to get over 75, you'll need a medkit or a slurp juice. A medkit will always take you back to 100 HP, no matter how low your health may be, and a slurp juice is rather unique in that it grants both shields and health.

Know Your Arsenal and Prepare For All Scenarios

In Fortnite's Battle Royale mode, weapon tiers are clearly divided using 5 colors. From weakest to strongest, those colors are: gray, green, blue, purple, and orange/gold. Repeat that to yourself. Get it in your head - it's important. Throughout each match, focus on seeking higher-tiered weapons. Each enemy you kill and each chest you loot will present an opportunity to swap a weaker gun for a stronger one. Use the color-coding to identify which is weaker and which is stronger. Once you’ve got that figured out, focus on keeping a variety of weapons on hand.

In other words, you want short range and long range weapons, as well as some explosives, on hand at all times so you are geared up for any kind of fight you may find yourself in.
