Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, read on to discover how to stay motivated and become a better Fortnite player through solo practice.

What Is Fortnite?

Fortnite: Battle Royale, better known just as Fortnite, is an online first-person shooter video game. It is one of the top three most popular multiplayer games in the world according to an article posted on the OSRS Wiki from 2020.

Fortnite was released in September 2017 by the American video game company Epic Games. The game’s official description promotes Fortnite as a multiplayer game where you can fight your rivals or friends for survival. According to Fandom, Fortnite is set in an alternate world where most of the populace has vanished and zombies, called Husks, prey on the remaining people. Players must cooperate to survive against these zombie forces, while dealing with random “storms” and a mysterious electrical pulse field that appears on the map.

The game is unique because it features an odd blend of cartoonish graphics and light-hearted socializing contrasted with violent first-person shooting. There are up to 100 players per match, and those who remain alive must face the corrosive storm. Fortnite’s standard multiplayer mode “Save the World” is free-to-play. The “Battle Royale” mode was released in late September 2017 and was a paid early access mode. In December, Battle Royale became free-to-play.

Why Practice by Yourself in Fortnite?

You practice by yourself in Fortnite to improve without the need to find a partner or take time with your group to practice. If you are in the zone you want to take advantage of that time to sharpen your skills for a Fortnite match against actual opponents. Practice by yourself is good for simulating a match environment and can be tailored to your personal needs. It will help you to learn how to operate under high credibility against pressure to improve your game and the tactics and strategies you employ when under fire.

However, Fortnite solo practice will not provide actual battle experience. However, it will give you time to work on individual weaknesses or challenges you face while you are waiting for party members to log in. It will also give you the opportunity to control the map, thus allowing you to bring in some weapons which would not have been available to you.

Solo practice in Fortnite allows you to work on building more effectively since you will need to be able to build quickly under high-intensity situations when facing actual opponents. You’ll improve your game most by focusing on general responsibilities such as resource management, map positioning, game awareness, and individual mechanics when you practice individually within Fortnite.

While playing against actual competitors is the best way to simulate match conditions, there are some positives to practicing by yourself when playing Fortnite. According to game analyst Hulkman89’s A Video Game Mastery, solo gaming can be helpful if you want to get to know a game’s mechanics, understand your weapons, or even just explore what a game has to offer in a pressure-free environment. Solo practice is a more effective way of gaming when it comes to sharpening your programming skills and understanding the game’s physical and technical features. Players are able to focus on understanding the game world without the pressure or distractions of potential online opponents.

What Are The Benefits Of Practicing By Yourself?

The benefits of practicing by yourself in Fortnite come from increased efficiency and intensity. Efficiency is the most obvious benefit because there will be less downtime waiting for friends to be ready, waiting for the Creative lobby to fill up, or waiting for the game to start – so you can get as many reps as you want in as short a timeframe as possible. Solo practice is also ideal for high-intensity training, as Frenzii, a known Fortnite coach, explains.

The intensity of other players in pubs/mixed lobbies and the overall inconsistent nature of live play make them a poor environment for high-intensity training. You do less isolated mechanics; ultimately less mechanics overall when you’re just boxed up in real matches. Realize nothing bad happens when you’re doing bad in creative. Realize nothing bad happens when you lose post-edit aim duels; that’s what it’s for. Given that a good deal of their desired practice time is not spent efficiently, it is reasonable to assume that the majority of players would benefit from at least mixing in some solo practice sessions with their normal routine.

How To Practice By Yourself In Fortnite?

To practice by yourself in Fortnite, you must first begin training yourself on your own before playing matches against real opponents in-game. This training should be in VISUOPS, ZONE WARS, and DEATHMATCHES, majing you BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER, and more used to gameplay situations.

Fornite training activities are not just for beginners. Everyone should include them. Major league teams in other sports use practice every day. A successful premiership football team might have a restorative yoga practice on Tuesday and a high-speed power yoga for peak performance on Thursday. Fasting is known to result in clearer thinking and better performance in both physical and mental activities.

While these Fortnite rhythm training exercises are clearly physical and not meditations, the notion of a light ball of focus and concentraion that is key to various meditative practices is borrowed for these training methods.

The best time to dedicate a great deal of time to training is either after the work of the day is done or the work of the day is being done. Children maintaining high levels of physical dexterity are able to focus better. The popular term for this work is ‘grind’. Seeing play as work and the rewards of victory are a job well done. Self-discipline is key. Watch less on tv or the internet to find the time to maximize video game performance.

After you have done drills on your own, play normal rounds on your own without a partner. This will allow you to adapt to a normal match’s speed and intensity, but still be in a safe space where there is no pressure.

Start With The Basics

The most important aspect of training by yourself in Fortnite is building. Make sure to get your controls, game sensitivity, and keybinds to your liking while practicing the essential building patterns. Once this is comfortable, the next essential part of your practice should be target shooting. You can practice with the targets in Creative mode as a good way to ramp up your shooting skills before actually playing the game according to Professional Fortnite Player Reid’ Drage’ Daggity.

Do box fights and practice turtling in a more realistic setting. Eventually, move on to more advanced practice techniques like learning from pros via watching them play, finding more specific tutorials, practicing different weapons in the same way as building and target practice. You can do this by looting and taking on different kinds of fights with a specific weapon to get the full understanding of how to use it in every fight Drage’ suggests.

Utilize Creative Mode

Creative mode is a great way to practice solo in Fortnite. The main advantages this offers are an environment where you do not have to worry about getting killed, and the ability to build structures as long as you desire. Playing solo in Creative Mode, you can focus just on the type of exercise or tactic you want to work on, not needing to loot or worry about the storm, and you can repeat and practice for as long as you like.

In Creative’s numerous different world maps there always exists one or more training simulations that are either of such high quality they decide to make them public and available, such as 1v1 Arena Tier 1 or be the location for Fortnite tournaments practice and warm-up sessions, such as zjh’s Zonewars. Or you can choose one of a large selection of different maps and work on building, exploring locations, improving weapon accuracy, etc. You can have playlists of one or multiple maps, both those you have created and public, and do them as often as you want.

One disadvantage of Creative Mode in training alone is that now you are facing potentially weaker opponents as they will generally be building and are often bots. Additionally, opponents will not handle situations or boxes the way they would in a real game at the level you play at.

Use Aim Training Maps

Fortnite players can aim train by themselves in Fortnite Battle Royale using Fortnite Creative Mode to access other skilled player’s aim training maps or maps specially designed for bot practice.

Maps specially designed for aim training against bots are called Kovaak‘s maps whereby the player can choose from a number of levels with difficulty ranging from easy (Stationary), average (1-star moving bots), to hard (fast moving or small bots). To practice on a Kovaak map in Fortnite, players can first download the map from enter the Fortnite Creative Mode settings and start the server.

Practice Building Techniques

Building in Fortnite is the feature that sets it apart from other battle royale games, so practicing your building until you are a better builder than most opponents is considered a necessity to become good at Fortnite solo play.

Get creative on the Proxa Bhe School map by landing on one of the buildings and practicing for a few minutes before you begin your match. Proxa’s school campus is a great place to begin practicing the various building techniques in Fortnite as you can practice various techniques in a single match such as ramp tunneling, double and triple ramp rushing, 90s, wall replacing, editing, and more. And all of this without being shot at by your opponent because the arena is reserved for you.

Don’t only practice when you are using your map. Prioritize rotating in after fights to avoid letting the decay timer sit too long and accumulate wood. Killing the Promenade Gunship comes to mind.

It’s difficult to improve at Fornite building without practice. Practice the basics of Fortnite building, establish your own favorite combos, and refine your skills. Use maps or natural resources to fine-tune your reaction times and the muscles used for building through practice.

Learn From Your Mistakes

You may have made errors during your previous solo matches, but now it is time to learn from these occurrences to ensure that you repeat your mistakes. Some common mistakes you may make include deciding on bad locations, failing to adjust your keybind selection, picking locations without a consistent landing strategy, ignoring edits during your peacetime planning sessions, or skipping basic weapon practice in your free time.

Observe your errors and avoid them the next time you practice by yourself.

What Are The Best Solo Practice Strategies In Fortnite?

The best solo practice strategies in Fortnite are ones chosen to suit the areas where a player feels weakest. These are some of the most recommended practice and training strategies according to common areas of concern. But before you do this, make sure to set up mechanical keyboard/mouse setups.

1. Building training: Practicing piece control, the numerous builds as demonstrated in geerzy’s multitool and fibercron’s Season 8 Free-Build courses and then getting faster at editing with Raider464’s Turtle Wars Area.

2. Shooting range training to improve aim: Le afkl’s edit course, Teadoh’s advanced aim training island, DonwoziMinii’s Box Fights, and Aimlan’s one-shot aim training course.

3. Rotational tactics: Playing on the appropriate Valorant map birdiethepan is on, Tko SZN’s Fortnite ranked practice map, and Jeicy’s edit and aim map are some good options to improve.

4. Understanding advanced dexterity: This clip of Bugha’s dexterity during practice shows what real advancement in gameplay looks like at the solo level. The only way to reach that is through solo practice in your weak areas over time.

After you have used the numbers above to identify your weaknesses and work on them, the strategies to hone your skills are an equal split of utilizing creative mode for specific builds or skills and actually playing the Solo Battle Royale Trio Lie-To-Me game. Lie-To-Me is a way for you to manage individual games of Solo without NetJ’s practice routine ruining the lighthearted, fun side of the game. The best way to practice individually depends on the person and there is no magic formula for improvement, just gradual perfection.

Practice Against Bots

When playing against people who may have thousands more hours on Fortnite than you, it is a good idea to practice by yourself as part of your strategy to catch up. One good way to practice your gunning against other players without the unnecessary stress of worrying about dying is to play against Fortnite bots.

Fortnite’s bots are not the most skilled opponents, but they can help you train muscle memory and fine-tune your game. As of 2021, Fortnite’s bots are only found in the default Battle Royale mode and not in Creative Mode. They are an AI customization slot known as the Difficulty to select from a range of potencies, ranging from 1 to 11, based on your desired level of difficulty.

The goal of these computer-controlled characters is to fight you on your own terms to serve as practice targets. Fortnite has no shortage of bots due to its low retention of dedicated players and numerous children regularly moving through the game.

Use Replay Mode To Analyze Your Gameplay

Replay Mode is an in-game tool that records your matches for later analysis. You can fast forward, rewind, and access numerous camera angles not available during the game to see exactly what you look like and what an opponent looks like when they defeat you. Modern military trainers use similar visual reinforcement to help trainees understand what they did wrong or right in certain contexts.

A streamer on YouTube known as Ghost Innocents used the tool to analyze gameplay from some of the best players in the world. His style is casual and conversational, with a heavy dose of educational commentary. He analyzes proper strategies in normal matches, assuring a diverse array of techniques are covered even if they are on maps with which you are unfamiliar.

Spend about 20-30% of your practice time using replay mode to dispassionately dissect what went wrong during failed gunfights or match losses, and what went right during killed opponents or match wins.

Focus On Specific Skills

Focusing on specific skills, like building, editing, or aiming are important for solo practice in Fortnite. Streamer Ballatw, a coach and analysis expert for Fortnite, suggests using VODs (videos-on-demand) to save time by watching exactly what you want to focus on. Ballatw’s video focuses on how to analyze your own VODs for self-improvement, and a great place to start. It may even be helpful to keep a binder or journal to act as a Fortnite training log can be extremely helpful. Setting goals, reflecting on past matches, and noting progress and setbacks over time are useful tools for tracking and pushing improvement.

Join Community Practice Groups

Beyond Fortnite’s Creative and Playground modes where a player may practice by themselves, there are community-run practice groups accessed through the game’s discords as well as various subreddits. Here players may strategize, set up scenarios, then play squad and team games together. The combined talent allows players to face more challenging practices and better judge how well they are doing.

Community-run practice groups are rare and places like Reddit, Youtube, or Twitter are usually the best places to find them. A Youtuber named Martoz is an expert player and made Fortnite Practice, a custom map to aid in practicing aim, strategy, and building. It can be accessed from Youtuber Cizzorz’s deathrun map.

How To Stay Motivated While Practicing By Yourself?

To stay motivated while practicing by yourself in Fortnite, you should set goals, develop a practicing routine, and use challenges and rewards you establish for yourself to keep having fun and staying motivated. By having a structured approach and setting your own goals and rewards based on your own effectively measuring progress, practicing solo becomes much less of an ordeal and more fun.

Practice is not just about building muscle memory and wearing down opponents by improving reaction times. If you are not mentally engaged in the game while practicing, improvement is extremely difficult. So the ideas mentioned above are equal parts vital to improvement as well as to maintaining that mental engagement with the game and staying motivated. Recognize your own improvement at a game you put effort into by keeping score,m raster the challenges you had given yourself, and increasing the levels of difficulty as you accomplish your scheduled challenges.

If you are struggling to see progress in your practice solo, consider trying a pair of gaming glasses. Gamers who wear glasses change to a Blue Blocker lens, which is designed specifically for blue light-producing screens.

Set Goals For Yourself

When practicing by yourself in Fortnite, having goals to achieve will give you an idea of what to work on and why you are doing it. Without them, you could spend hours playing with no clear plan. Goals such as winning matches, getting a specific level of kills, improving your accuracy rating, or learning how to properly rotate around the island are all beneficial goals to improve your Fortnite skills.

If you are struggling to hit your goals during practice, practice other continuing skills or goals that are different or easier. You can keep those as fallback options to continue making meaningful practice rather than just defaulting into casual gameplay.

Take Breaks And Don’t Overdo It

Take breaks and get plenty of water. Doctors say the ’20-20-20′ rule can help. Glancing at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds at least every 20 minutes is the best way to prevent eye strain. Try doing this when stretching or walking around during breaks. Frequent breaks can also prevent injury to the muscles, tendons, and the spine.

From the words of the late, great Japanese scientific researcher Dr. Yoshinori WatanabeWhen something in your mind tells you to stop running, you are only 40% done.” When I met (bicycled 60 miles from The Westwood to Vallejo to meet and ride some of the most scenic Western bike trails together) legendary seven-time three-peat winner of the Tour de ‘Toona and Benefit of Pan-Massachusetts Challenge for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Steve Colnago D’Issogne Cunningham after making contact with him at The Alpenrose from his German interviews the year before and getting invited by him and favorite actor, and star of Cheaper by the Dozen, This is Us, and good sister Hilary Duff, Yi Pepa Dormroom, at the peak of when he did over 5400 bicycle miles a year and SIX HOURS of gym, leg, and ab exercises per day in addition to running the beautiful and hilly five-mile trail to Marconi State Beach that I had long paid soldiers from the nearby military base to build just to maintain (he made it look like an easy jog, and ran back further through the hills), he astutely pointed out that I needed to bulk up quite a bit. I never skimped on stretching, built to work out 4 hours 3 days a week and 2 hours the other 3 and go on biking dates, perform 501-pound deadlifts and 95-pound single of arm swings with good form until I could feel the momentum waning, maintain good posture as much as possible by retracting my shoulder blades and holding while doing dips on parallel bars and dips on side bars, and even did stretches when walking, but still wore my bodies down to the point I was more susceptible to weight fluctuations and injury, causing me to look even weaker despite the cycles of bulking and cutting I’d undergo in stark contrast to Sabbir’s words, “You’ll gain a significant amount of noticeable muscle in no time if you do the exercises correctly. That is, I worked hard enough to not blow up abruptly one way or the other, but still face the constant threat of an en multiple hour cramps after completing half a day’s work. If they did not pass, I would work my muscles until my forty-second birthday after having been given two years to set all this up by a playful coyote-toting elf and his quirky friend, and plenty of foods that contain vitamin B7 which would help me out. In another few years, I would have tried to die while getting out of bed in the morning.

Note that all claims of superpowers and god-like empathy by the author are satirical responses to elven undercover investigative reporting programming.

Find A Practice Partner

Still on your own? Try and find a partner in your local community or on a discord forum that you can practice with. This shouldn’t be difficult as there are over 350 million collective hours of Fortnite played each month. Having practice dueling games, running drills, and analyzing game statistics for each other can help both of you take your games to the next level.

If you are able to find a practice partner through whatever means, try to keep a routine. A daily discussion to pick what you should focus on in your week, some warm-up drills, then some in-game practice and game analysis should be the web of a typical practice session. Some websites specifically made for finding eSports players include GamerRoster.com, Toornament.com, and Dreamteam.gg.

Reward Yourself For Progress

Reward yourself after practicing by playing for real – that is, compete in either unranked (Arena, Creative, Tournaments) or ranked (Solo, Duos, Trios) Fortnite. Your practice is not only about growing in terms of skill, but is also about performance and acquiring confidence, so objective measures should always be taken to determine if you have improved, whether that is in terms of winning or KDA. If you feel that you have improved, reward yourself by seeing how well you do in day-to-day matches.
