Fortnite has been destroyed, only to return as a brand new game. Well, okay in fairness most of it is still the same game you remember, but Fortnite Chapter 2 brings the big change to the game that fans have been craving for.

Of course, you can jump into the new battle royale on Android, iOS, and Nintendo Switch, and if you go in primed with these tips, you're sure to win.

These tips are aimed at anyone who is new to playing portable Fortnite, or anyone who has returned to the game after a hiatus. After all, Chapter 2 is a tempting draw for even the most jaded players.

So here are our initial tips for Fortnite Chapter 2, but make sure to keep reading Pocket Gamer for even more, and of course, we have our Ultimate Guide to Fortnite.

A whole new world

The map of Fortnite Battle Royale has been completely changed in Chapter 2 - while some areas may seem familiar to what you might remember in the past, there have been some massive changes and tweaks that completely change how the battle royale plays out.

Having said that though, the basics are the same. You know how to move, loot, shoot, open and close doors, build. All of the essentials to survive in even the harshest battle royale environment.

What you need to do now, I simply adjust to the new environments. When you find new buildings, ensure to make note of their exits and entrances, and where they might usually hide loot. Getting on top of buildings regularly is a good idea too, so you can see what distant lines of sight you can utilize for sniper shots.

You will start with a bunch of missions for uncovering your map and discovering landmarks, so it's best to get that out of the way as soon as possible.

1
Gyro for victory

For my money, gyro controls are the most reliable and best way to tweak your aim to get a bead on your opponent.

On Nintendo Switch and other platforms, you'll have the option of turning motion controls on in the gameplay menu, and then you'll be able to straighten out your shots just by tilting your device.

I always have gyro controls enabled for shooters, and if you try them, you may find that you can't play without.

2
The sound wheel

The sound wheel is a wonderful accessibility feature, and also a potential advantage in-game. If you enable sound visualisations, you can pinpoint the footsteps and gunshots of enemies.

A ring appear on the screen and can lead you to the sound of, well, whatever is making those sounds. It's a wonderful positioning tool.

Although, enabling it disables audio panning, so it'll be as if you're playing with mono audio. Though, unless you're using headphones, this is a pretty easy change to make.

3
Battle pass?

Once you've played for a few days and you know what Chapter 2 is all about, it's time to think about the battle pass.

The fact is, if you think you're going to be playing Fortnite throughout the season, then paying for the battle pass is a pretty good deal, and you can even earn more V-Bucks from playing through the battle pass than you pay for it, which is nice.

But if you don't think you'll be playing Fortnite Chapter 2 all that much, well, it's really not necessary…
