Fortnite – A Guide to Tracking

 Tracking is an art that when mastered can vastly improve your game. Here is everything you need to know to make the most of it.

We all want to make the most of using our Fortnite weapons when playing the popular battle royale title. With that being said, you will want to find ways to improve your aim, and become a pro Fortnite tracker. To make the most of this, you need to take into account a few features to work on. This includes finding ways to make the most of your aim and shooting with a clear shot.

What is Tracking?

Tracking is having the ability to move your aim to follow a moving target. This is a difficult skill to get to grips with, since you have to be able to keep your aim on point as your target traverses across of the map. This technique relies on muscle memory, so it is going to take some practice for you to use it effectively. So if you want to be brushing up your skills with the best then there are a few settings to look into.

Settings and Sensitivity

To get started with tracking, firstly we need to have the best possible settings. Make sure that you avoid any clipping by having the game running as smoothly as possible. Your frames per second are important here to avoid low draw distances, so alter the settings accordingly.

Once you have your settings on point, you need to fix your sensitivity. This is more of a subjective feature, since it needs to cater to how you actually play, so find the settings that you are comfortable playing with. That being said, avoid playing around with these settings too much, as you are going to want to have it at a stable point.

Tracking With Weapons

Tracking with certain Fortnite Weapons are going to be more important than others. If you have something at short distance with a higher blast range such as a shotgun, it isn’t going to be as important compared to mid/long range weapons, since its going to be much harder to track enemies that are at a distance. The more practice you get with longer range weapons, the better you are going to improve your tracking skills.

Ultimately, the only way you are going to get better in these situations is by practice. So head into the battlefield, and get used to the way in which the Fortnite weapons move. You may have to do this from staying static and train yourself to aim from a distance on a random target. You don’t necessarily have to do this with enemy players right off the bat, as you can use objects that are far away to practice with. Once you are ready, start using it on your opponents.

Practice will make perfect in this scenario. It is going to take you a long time to get used to this method, but you just need to focus on where your shortcomings are and work on them. If you happen to lose your target whilst trying to track, try to figure out why you lost them and improve on it next time. Correcting these shortcomings is going to be what helps you advance as a Fortnite tracker. As mentioned, it is a difficult skill to master, so don’t be too hard on yourself if you are struggling. Look at what you need to work on, get your settings right, and you will be a pro in no time.

How to Use Fortnite Tracker Device

There are a couple of neat items in Fortnite’s creative mode, which will help enhance your imagination.

If you are a fan of Fortnite’s Creative Mode, and have been wondering how to maximize its potential, then there are a couple of items you should know about. Here we will be discussing the Trick Tile, as well as the Fortnite Tracker Device, and how you can use them to improve your game.

The Fortnite Creative Mode is an entity that is very popular amongst the game’s community. It is somewhat of a blank canvas for players to explore their imaginative side, swapping out their favorite Fortnite weapons for more colorful creations. In this mode are many different tools that can be used for a variety of different reasons. In this instance, we will be taking a look at what the Trick Tile is, and how you can use the Tracker Device too.

Trick Tile

So the Trick Tile works in a way that you can use it to effectively take down walls that are blocking your way. If you can’t reach your destination because of objects in front of you, the Trick Tile will remove them to help you reach your goal. They can then be made to reappear to offer up an alternative path that you may not have had before.

To set it up, going into Devices on your Creative menu. Select the Trick Tile and equip it, then place it on the desired area. After placing it, you can go into the Customize menu and there are a bunch of different options that you can use. For example, you can apply an activation delay if you choose to, meaning it will be activated after the amount of time that you set. You can also change the Trigger Feedback which alters how the animation of the item being used plays out.

Tracker Device

Next we will be looking at the Fortnite Tracker Device. This lets you basically set up your own little minigame or quest. Head over to the Creative menu again and this time select Tracker Device. Hit equip and then check out the settings, which are pretty substantial and hard to get your hard around in order to make it work effectively.

You need to set what stats it is going to track, and the target value of what it's tracking. With that in mind, you should have an idea of this already depending on what you want to use it for. There are a lot of different variables that you can include, ranging from what weapons are used to make kills with, to who gets to see the tracker itself and what progress is being made.

You can give your Tracker a title, as you use it to make your very own minigame. Then once you have chosen the relevant channels and what objectives you have, you are essentially good to go. You will want to play around with the settings a little bit to get the desired outcome, but once you have your head around it, you will be able to allow your imagination to run wild and create a wide range of activities for you and your friends to enjoy.

The Fortnite Tracker Device and the Trick Tile is just a couple of examples of what you can use in the creative aspect of the game. The fact that there is a platform for players to use such a feature is a great addition from Epic Games, given the popularity of the game, it allows many, many players that are wanting to showcase what they are capable of doing when they are given the tools to do so.
