I have 2 wins and about 30 top 10 finishes in solo. It's so frustrating. Most of those top 10s are top 5 finishes. I get so unlucky with where the safe zone goes. It never comes to where I am. There's always that one lucky dude that builds a giant fort that ends up in the safe zone and you're screwed.
Doesn't matter where the circle goes. You need to focus the early game on collecting lots of resources. The workflow is basically:
- Fill up your inventory slots, doesn't matter how good your items are, just fill it up
- Start chopping down every tree/wall you can before the first circle closes, ideally you'll collect about 500 wood here
- Stay on the fringes of each circle and never commit to running in a direction before the next circle moves
- Move bush to bush as the map closes in
- Build a small fort in each circle when it's down to the final 15 or so
- Use rocket launchers, grenades, and grenade launchers to poke holes in the final forts
You absolutely
must build forts in the late game to stand a chance. The name of the game is FORTnite, after all.
