AnishaMarie3001 asks, Ninja, so I'm trying to learn

how to play with mouse and keyboard on Fortnite,

and I was wondering what control setups

do you use or prefer?

The control setup.

I don't really think there is

a control setup for mouse and keyboard.

I'm just gonna tell you what

my keybinds are right now off the rip.

So Shift is my pyramid, I have autorun enabled

because that's how I obviously have Shift as something else.

So definitely enable autorun.

Q is my platform and my two side mouse buttons

are my wall and my ramp, which are arguably

the most important building keybinds.

So if you have mouse, highly recommend getting a mouse

with two or three buttons on it

and make sure you map two of your building options

to your mouse buttons.

Boop.

This question is from ForkBuns, @TwitchForkBuns

who says, You can be good at Fortnite,

but you'll never be good enough.

How do you compete with people

who have over half a month of in-game time?

That's legit 16 days of your life.

#Fortnite.

I mean you're not going to be better than those players.

You know what I mean?

I mean, it's one of those things.

You just kinda have to accept that, right?

I mean like, if I'm a basketball player

and I practice one hour a day and LeBron plays 10 hours,

12 hours a day because it's like, it's his job.

I can't complain about how he's gonna be better than me

when he has all day to play.

You know what I mean?

It's like one of those things where it's just like,

dude, it's just, it's the way of the road.

Oh no!

@FuzzyM0nst3r with a three as the E says,

@FortniteGaming question:

how do you shoot down a loot carrier

from 50 meters on mobile?

They fall out of rendered distance.

#HelpNeeded, #Support, #Fortnite, #Challenge, #NoCanDo.

Maybe a little less hashtags.

I don't think you can do anything about that.

I think it's just, you know, stop playing mobilly

and get a Xbox or a PC to fix that issue, Fuzzy,

but I know that's not the answer that you want.

Unfortunately, there's no answer that I can provide.

You know what, let me just give a call,

a quick call to Epic Games

and see if they can patch that for you though.

ZIVOL Official asks, What's the best landing spot

for competitive Fortnite?

First of all, you need to know who you're playing against.

If there's just gonna be random tournaments,

and you don't know exactly who is gonna get in your lobbies,

I think that you just wanna go with what's going to be

the least contested that will get you the most loot.

Don't go for the heavily contested unless you are truly

the best player in the game.

Someone lands and gets a better weapon than you

and then just ruins your tournament,

it's really unfortunate because you're landing

at a heavily contested spot.

IJGemini says, So I suck at Fortnite

quick editing/building.

I watch people build Hollywood mansions

in five seconds flat

while I'm taking five minutes to do a 90.

Any advice for the building/editing unendowed.

Just sit in Creative for 30 minutes a day in the mornings

and at nights and just practice your building.

It's that easy.

Just sit there and just build.

Listen to some music and just crank out your 90's, man.

You will learn, you will perfect it.

I promise you.

It's exactly what I had to do when I started falling off

building wise and editing wise.

I just sat in creative and practiced it, man.

You gotta work for it.

I know you're looking for a quick, easy tip

or something that's just gonna make you improve immediately

and that doesn't exist.

Build forever so that you can, you put down a wall

and then you just practice your editing and your unediting,

your editing and your unediting over and over again.

Rinse and repeat.

Ooh, @HilbilyRunAmok says,

How does anyone play in a random squad in #Fortnite?

I'm just barely above being a bot,

and I rarely get in a squad that outlasts me

and is more than six years old.

This is an interesting question,

but I definitely know that there are a lot of younger kids

that do squad fill.

Hilbily, my advice to you would be to do some squad fills

and try to find people who aren't six years old

and whenever you do get those teammates in your game,

try to you know, connect with them, add them,

and start running games with them,

and then eventually you're gonna build up a squad

of people that you can game with,

and not do squad fills with.

That's what I did back in the day in Halo 2

when I was, I mean this is like 10, 12, 13 years ago,

maybe more, 15 years ago.

I needed to play a team of Hardcore of matchmaking

with other people so I would just go in,

and once I found someone who I kinda connected with,

I'd be like, Yo, man,

You're good, you wanna run?

And then boom, there you go.

Try it out.

MrAppieGaming says, what is your main skin in Fortnite?

There's a female Ninja skin in the game that's pretty dope.

I think that I use her the most.

@GalaxyShadowGG says, Anyone know what

this symbol means on Fortnite?

Dude, I literally just asked this question.

I was doing squad fills the other day.

I don't know, I don't know what that means.

It's like, it's just a globe.

I think it might mean that someone maybe from another server

is playing on a server that they shouldn't be playing on

so they just have a globe icon?

I don't know what that means.

It's not mobile.

It kinda looks like a controller.

It might be the new PS4?

Your guess is as good as mine, man,

but it's definitely not PC and I don't think it's Xbox.

We have a question from MrCsCelebQs.

Said @Ninja, how did you get so good at playing Fortnite?

From Jayden, age nine.

That's a really good question.

I've been playing video games my entire life.

I'm 28 years old and you learn a lot about different gaming

play styles as you play different games, and honestly,

I've just put the time in my entire life

to be good at video games.

The more you play, the better you're going to get

and when you do play, actually try to improve your game.

There are two ways you can play video games:

you can play casually or you can play competitively,

and if you're just playing casually

and you're messing around

and you're landing in the same spots

and you're farming the same way

and you use the same guns all the time

and you never change anything and you never actually

try to improve, you're not going to improve, right?

So you need to honestly actively work on, you know,

your shooting, your building and your knowledge of the map

and rotating and things like that.

So, yeah.

Put the time in, practice hard and actively try to improve.

@Krawley4 asks, Hello mate.

Can you tell me how to improve my aim in Fortnite, please?

Question mark, crying face.

For me, with any sensitivity or any aiming issues,

what you wanna do is you wanna start

at a lower sensitivity, right?

If you really can't just hit, you can't hit [beeps]

just lower your sensitivity

and you won't be able to miss, literally.

It'd be so slow that you should be

hitting everything that you're aiming at.

When you're eliminated because your aim is too slow,

you bump it up just a little bit.

Then once you've moved it up a little bit,

take a little bit of getting used to,

but then once you get eliminated again

because your aim is too slow, you bump it up a little bit

and then eventually you're gonna keep doing this,

you're gonna keep going back and forth

until you find the perfect medium.

You finally got a good sensitivity where now your aim

is pretty solid and you're no longer getting eliminated

because your sensitivity is too slow.

It's a lot easier to go from down up than to go from

an incredibly high sensitivity and work your way down

so try it out, let me know.

@ModdedPotato asks,

What's your favorite Fortnite loadout?

If you play, if you don't, that's fine,

Here's mine.

For me, my favorite loadout has gotta be

the Flapjackie, the Flapjackie back bling

in the black and white with the Chrono Contrail

and also the same glider that you have, the Pixel Glider.

It's definitely one of my favorites.

Good job, good taste.

@WhatYouDoAesji says,

What is most important in Fortnite?

Mechanics or game sense?

Good question.

They're both important.

You need to focus on them both.

I think your game sense will let you live and last longer

in your lobbies.

However, mechanics are going to be how you win those games.

You cannot win a game solely off of game sense

or you will win less games, so focus on both.

@LilLuiso asks, If I wanna play #Fortnite

just to chill with the friends, what do I have to do?

Play Team Rumble?

Oh wait, is there skill-based matchmaking

in Team Rumble too, @FortniteGame?

Little Luiso, I feel your pain here, man,

and Team Rumble is definitely going to be

the chillest playlist, but also I mean if you're playing

with your friends and you're just chilling,

shouldn't you be able to play squads?

Like, I mean, how good are you, I guess?

But I understand what you're saying, man.

I don't agree with the skill-based matchmaking.

It does make the lobbies a lot sweatier.

Skill-based matchmaking right now is basically adding

longer queues, you're playing against tougher players

if you're a good player

and it's basically turning into Arena without siphon mode

and that's kind of what Arena is for,

is for those competitive and sweaty matches.

Only time will tell, man.

@FireMonkey says, What strats do you use in Fortnite?

For me, I hide under stairs and in bushes

like the true bot that I am.

That's the beautiful thing about Fortnite, man,

is you can play however you want.

If you wanna bush camp, you wanna hide under stairs,

you can do that.

I still highly recommend learning how to build

and learning how to shoot so that

when you do get in situations where someone finds you

under those stairs, you can win those fights.

So.

Our next and final question comes from NotKaiSZN.

So what is the best shotgun in Fortnite?

It's a great question, dude, all right?

The answer is they're all good.

The Palms shotgun is great if you have an SMG

and an AR, but if you only have like an infantry rifle

and a sniper rifle and you don't have a spray gun,

you need a shotgun that's gonna shoot faster

which is where the Tac Shotgun comes in, bro.

So it all depends on your playstyle.

What do you like?

Do you wanna be able to one-punch someone?

Do you wanna be able to shoot

multiple shotgun shots if you miss one?

Figure it out, feel it out.

I personally love the pump shotgun.

All right, everyone.

That is, that is it for today.

Thank you guys for all of your questions

and I hope you guys keep enjoying Fortnite.

Thanks for watching.
