7 HUGE mistakes that cause 82% of Deaths in Fortnite Zero Build 

Just a bit of well-intentioned feedback - I'd recommend getting into the content sooner. A two min introduction is a long time to wait for most viewers so my guess is a significant amount of people are clicking away before you even get to mistake #1. Again, not trying to be an asshole, just want to give some helpful/honest feedback. Especially because the rest of the content is well thought out and high quality.

Ok I know I made a joke comment about how awful I am at playing (and I am, just terrible) but after watching this video and 2 others from your channel I actually won 2 victory royales in one night!!! What the heck!?? SIR, you really are a master at this! 🙏🏻 (seriously I can't believe how well this advice worked)

Way to execute!!

@@brianching4358two minutes really isn’t that long

Great work!!

I'm a 38yr old dad of 4 & I play fortnite quite regularly with the 3 oldest. I was so happy when zero builds came out because that's where I lack talent. It makes me happy to hear that other dads are playing fortnite with their young'ns.

I’ll be 44 next month and I love playing with my adult son and his friends! We have such a great time! I’m excited to show them what I’ve learned! Glad to know these techniques work!

this is so precious!

As someone The Reckoning I get home from work on try to get the pickaxe for the victory you you are a good friend for the victory royale high Easter eggs in the

i hope both sides of your pillow is cold

That'll be 250

@@user-dn2tb7uz2b It was about that time I noticed TobyWanShinobi was about three stories tall and looked like a creature fro the mesozoic era.

I also do this and have never seen anyone mention this. Another thing I do is go to my shotgun before getting In a vehicle. If someone blows up my car or I want to push someone I am ready to go. If I hop out to long range attack them my ar is one click away but if it's a close range fight I want my shotgun ready to go.

For sure, I actually meant to mention this and somehow forgot - its an excellent point.

Yeah it's just about automatic when you get used to all the weapons of the season or mode. Brain constantly has me switching guns every 2 seconds when I'm moving through POIs until a scenario finally happens.

Thank you bruddah

Haha thank you. The Fortnite content creator "always hyped" thing annoys me too.

That doesn't really make sense mate How would you drop something without meaning to? When looting, you only drop what you need to drop... And if you're referring to right when you land from the bus, you already don't have a weapon so that's kinda a given that you'll have your pickaxe out

actually he’s talking about ammo this is a trick used since chapter 1 after you kill the person swap to ur pickaxe run through the loot and you’ll get all the ammo and stack heals/ utility this is a habit for more og players

​@@shanebreezy4453if I am on my shotgun, I can swap it by error with a weapon on the ground when my purpose was to pick ammo

@@shanebreezy4453 if youre holding a gun out and spam E you will swap your gun for something else

doesn't it auto pickup up heals and ammo though?

No shotgun is skitz mate. That's the most important gun in fortnite.. I'd rather have a grey variant of the worst shotgun in the game than have two legendary guns of other types. I agree with the 2 gun loadout though, the best in my opinion is a hard hitting shotgun like the sharptooth, and a twin mag AR because it's good for long distance and close distance spray (hipfire) to follow a good opening shotgun shot. It's very versatile

Do u still play apex?

@@gracedianaschmidt7635 Rarely. I'll most likely return to it after I'm done with ranked urgent quests and survivor medals.

I played in chapter 1 for about a year and then stopped playing for 5 years 😭 now I've been playing for almost 2 years and I didn't know about half of these things

For sure, but evolvejake is pretty close.

Agree with you he makes relevant content to help you grow and get better

Evolvejake copies Toby, also Toby goes way more in detail.

@@Quantum_IdealismI’d of agreed with you about four months ago. But it’s videos like this that truly separates shinobi from jake

@@crazy_foal8191 they're both in the same space, their content is going to be similar. Toby goes into more instructive detail, but some of Jake's spectating videos are so valuable. You can watch and find enjoy both creators.

stoked to hear that!

Glad I could help!

For fights in the open, pay attention to the timing from when the first shot is fired until a third party lands on you. You need to make sure this timer is ingrained in your head so you know if you even have time to loot the body or not (or even finish the fight). In all situations, being in the jungle in first zone is different than being in the jungle in the 5th zone or being in mega city... I see an extraordinary amount of people die after a fight to a third party when I'm sitting there saying "times up, you are about to dieeee". Not just people who I'm watching after I die, streamers and pros do it too. This is a key note of my strategy. When the time is near up and I don't have them dead yet (or I'm in a position to lose the fight) I'll either try to stop shooting (in hopes that the 3rd party will go to them and not me), I'll move to pretend I'm running and reposition to 3rd party the 3rd party who landed on the person I was fighting, or straight up run from the fight and look for heals atleast 150m away from the fight. If you won the fight near the time when a 3rd party is coming, I'll abandon the loot or reposition from the fight location and hide for 15 seconds to see where they are coming from. But my strategy also includes alot of other map knowledge details to make an informed decision on what I am going to do, maybe I know there's noone around and emote on them for a moment before I heal in the wide open- it just depends. As the video progresses I will comment below with other parts of my strategy/details I've picked up that go with what he's saying and am happy to delete if Master Toby doesn't approve 😅

I use my mobility for 2 reasons: to get out of sketchy situations and to pounce on someone that I already hit for over 50 dmg. I only shoot 5-7 AR bullets or 1/4-3/4 of my smg mag and will do atleast 50 damage. After those shots I pounce without hesitation and use my fresh shotgun. You can figure out when and where reloading will be helpful but even this hesitation in lots of cases will make a big difference, somy main tactic is to only use half or less of my smg while maintaining 50dmg so i can have half a mag just incase they get jumpy. I never ever use any mobility for travel in solos incase someone is nearby. This saving will help you if/when you need to run 😂 Mobility in the last slot is also helpful so when you use your last one, it doesn't automatically swap to a next weapon (causing you to swap to the next weapon by accident).

USE CREATIVE! Note specific instances in game that you are not good at (such as shockwaving distances, right hand peeks, etc) and recreate them in creative with a bot or make a 2nd account with your phone to stand in for you. You can create a creative map of the current BR map (delete it when youre done until next time you want to use it if you use your own maps often, it makes loading times loooonggg). You'll notice the red X for the right hand peek is showing where the center of your shot will land. This is something I didn't know after 2k hours 😅 and helps a ton with getting used to making a strafe shot the first few hundred times before you notice other visual cues or just do it out of reflex.

My main strat is to learn where people land and memorize the progression of the game. For instance, landing at rumble I know 1 person is going for the boss immediately, i fight the 1-2 people trying to get the heisted shotty, leave the one who landed across rumble because he will push me when im in the vault and press the person whos finishing the boss/healing from not healing before taking the boss fight. Get in the vault, guy above presses usually and I always let them think I don't know they exist. Once you hear him outside the vault you can just wait for their anxious self to come in and spray them down. I also know maybe 1 scary person landed at shattered, 1-2 people will be at frenzy by the time I get to it, 1 person will come from eclipsed only if the tower fight goes into a 3 player fight since it takes so long, and 1 person will come from relentless roughly 20-30 seconds after the tower spawns. If you choose not to approach the frenzy fight before the tower spawns, then you'll most likely get a lot of kills here if you're both patient and quick with kills and healing. I've had as many as 10 kills by the time I'm pushed away from here by storm (including the 3 bots that tend to wonder the area) but I'm also more often 3rd partied by 2 people as I'm fighting the boss or a player. Choose where you fight from carefully. This spot is surrounded by potential 3rd party players. From here I begin my pie slice tech. I know from now until the island spawns, I have as many as 4 potential enemies in my slice of them map, 1 from creeky who chooses to push rumble after I left, the one in frenzy who didn't push my massive boss fight, 1 from steamy who's only pressing 3rd party fights, 1 from shattered if they didn't push the boss fight, and they player who got pushed into either the trailer park or the jungle pyramid to the east. Timing on all of this is important as well because if you are ahead of schedule you'll notice a fight that should be happening isn't and you wind up in the middle of it so always be aware of the timing of the game. They flow very similar and the only thing to break the flow is cache placement since they can spawn far into your slice. At this point I'll note how many bot fights have occurred around me because the more bot fights, the less people around and also its a fly trap for people who kill those bots, I now know you are going to be pressing me from that direction. It's MOST IMPORTANT to this strat to NOT LET ANY PLAYERS LEAVE YOUR SLICE! They die or the rest of your game gets very different. The slice tech has worked since chapter 3 on any point of the map, you just need to relearn the cadences of players when major changes occur on the map. If it helps, land at the same place 10, 100x in a row. Not a lot changes from lobby to lobby and when it does, it usually follows its own pattern. From the tower to the cache to the island I usually steer clear of where I know players to be and try to edge near the area of bots so when the sweaty Betty of your section of the map decides to get 2 free kills, you can remove that huge worry from your end game by jumping on them with their unloaded smg and smoke them as they try to kill you with their shotgun only. By now the island spawns and I'm omw to the island to be the first up top and throw down a turret on top of the house (on the back of the peak that starts above the house door so they can't land on the back of the roof, forcing them to land either on the ground with you or the edge and you can happily chase them off/kill them. Knock out the big tree and the porch steps so you can access ziplines b4 they get up and access the roofs faster. Almost fool proof island strat. At most, when one rifts, I will jump on to the porch roof incase they try to take on the turret but usually they don't. From here, recut the pie, identify dead side and note if players are in it yet. From here to top 5, I may get 1 kill if they're in my slice of the pie. At top 5 there will be 1 or 2 aggressive players, pick one to 3rd party/sneak up on/rotate heavy to get their weak side. Now you either have 1 player who is putting on pressure or it's going to be dead silent. If there's 1 just sit back and 3rd party them for the win or if it's silent with 4 totla players left, push the closest player to you but be sure you know where the other players are so if you hear someone trying to 3rd party your fight you can already know which direction to shock out to. If there is ever only 3 people left DONT be the player who takes the first fight unless your aim is godly because that last guy has been waiting all game long to pounce on your head- let them 2 fight it out. I've let 2 circles go without a shot being fired because I didn't want to get 3rd partied. This game is a br, not tdm. It's not always about getting all the kills you can, it's about getting as many kills as you can and still win! You can use this strat to get 4 kills or 14, and start from anywhere on the map- it's about how well you can connect your shots, keep yourself on time and not let your ego push your learning experience to the side.

Great advice and well thought out - impressive!

Thanks Moe!

Thank you! Stoked to hear that 👍

Thanks for the support as always Corey!

Thanks! Yeah, I just feel like if I don't take the deep dive and make it a 20+ min video, it just doesn't educate as well... Even though it goes against what works best on the algorithm.

greatest tip dont suck

Dang... that's genius!

saw you on the leaderboards gg

Congrats!!

Thank you my friend, great work!

Was that from my 9 ZB tips video?

that's entirely possible also thank you. Your video on right-hand peeks unlocked something in my tactics. I used to use them sometimes, but now I constantly look for peeks and play from cover and I've been winning 10x as many fights.@@TobyWanShinobi

Glad to help!

Glad to help Randle!

Glad to hear it my friend ❤
