🎮 Beginner Tips
- Land at edge: Avoid hot drops until you learn the game
- Shield first: Always carry shield potions
- Build walls: Build when shot — it saves lives
- Headshots: Aim for the head — double damage
- Listen: Use headphones — hear footsteps and chests
💡 Practice building in Creative mode before playing Battle Royale.
🏗️ Building Guide
- Wall: Q key — block incoming fire
- Ramp: Mouse wheel — gain high ground
- Floor: F key — cover above
- Pyramid: V key — slanted cover
- Edit: G key — customize builds
🔫 Weapon Tier List
- Mythic: Gold — best, from bosses
- Legendary: Orange — very strong
- Epic: Purple — solid
- Rare: Blue — decent
- Uncommon: Green — early game only
- Common: Gray — worst
⚠️ Shotgun + SMG is the best close-range combo. AR + Sniper for long range.
🧱 Build Skills in Order
- First: wall, ramp, wall (the "90") - an hour of practice gets it clean
- Second: edit a wall into a window and shoot through it - edits win box fights, not builds
- Third: piece control - put a ramp over an opponent's head so they cannot build out
🎒 Loadout and Rotation
- Shotgun plus SMG for box fights; a red-dot AR covers mid range; heals and a movement item fill the last slots
- Carry shield over medkits - 50 shield beats 100 health in a one-on-one
- Rotate early along the ring edge; fighting in the storm loses more games than bad aim
🕹 Zero Build
- Zero Build rewards positioning: hold high ground and never cross open fields without a movement item
- Mobility items become win conditions - a grappler or shockwaves are worth more than a third weapon
