Playing Fortnite on Mobile is Different

Like in any platform, playing Fortnite on iOS and Android has a few differences compared to other platforms.

More Combat Oriented

Because of the presence of Aim Assist and Auto-Shoot, gameplay in Fortnite Mobile is more combat focused. Building is still present, but it's not as prominent as with other platforms.

Different Shooting Options

In Fortnite Mobile, there is an option to automatically fire weapons as soon as the crosshairs connect to an enemy. This makes landing shots relatively easier.

Presence of Aim Assist

Aiming in Fortnite Mobile is more forgiving thanks to the Aim Assist. Although other platforms have Aim Assists as well, gameplay is not as reliant as in Mobile.

Open to Play with Other Platforms

There's no stopping Mobile players from teaming up with other players from other platforms! This is the only way for Mobile players to play across platforms.

Combat Tips for iOS / Android Players

Fight your way to the top. Learn to utilize your Auto-Shoot and choose the right weapons!

Check Out Techniques to Play Like a Pro

Utilize the Auto-Shoot Option

Keep your aim steady by moving your finger on the screen along with the movement of your enemy. This works best with high fire-rate weapons.

Not All Weapons Have Auto-Shoot

Take note of weapons that do not have Auto-Shoot, like Sniper Rifles, Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers, and Scoped Rifles. You need to manually fire them with the trigger button!

Keep your Finger on the Trigger

Once the Auto-Shoot Option kicks in, keep your finger on the trigger to continue firing even when the enemy breaks out of sight! This will stop the weapon from winding up again between shots.

Aim Higher for Headshots

When using Sniper Rifles or Scoped Assault Rifles, aim your crosshair a bit higher than the enemy's head to get headshots. Try to move between shots to make yourself unpredictable.

Building Tips for iOS / Android Players

Utilize Buildings the best that you can in Fortnite Mobile with these tips.

Break Enemy Fire with Building

Break enemy Auto-Shoot by getting out of their line of sight with structures. Create a wall or stairs directly in front of your enemy to get a few seconds away from enemy fire.

Make Building Easier with an Accessible HUD

You can add additional buttons as shortcuts for crafts and weapons in both build and combat modes! This will help you to create buildings on the go and switch to combat when needed with just a button!
