How to Get Better at Battle Royale Games: Pro Tips & Strategies
Stop dying in the first minute and start winning.
Battle royale games are brutally competitive. Whether you're playing Fortnite, Apex Legends, Warzone, or PUBG, the core skills transfer across all of them. This guide will help you improve your gameplay from drop to victory.
🎯 Core Skills That Apply to EVERY Battle Royale
1. Landing Strategy
Where you land determines your early game.
| Strategy | Best For |
|---|---|
| Hot Drop | Practice gunfights, high risk/reward |
| Edge Drop | Safe looting, slower start |
| Mid Drop | Balanced approach |
Pro Tip: Learn 2-3 landing spots extremely well rather than knowing the whole map poorly.
2. Looting Efficiently
Don't spend 10 minutes looting—you should be fighting.
- Grab essentials first: Weapon → Shield/Armor → Heals
- Don't open every container—prioritize chests/crates
- Move while looting
- Know when "good enough" gear is good enough
3. Positioning Over Aim
The best players win fights before they start.
| Position Type | Advantage |
|---|---|
| High Ground | See more, shoot down |
| Cover | Reduces exposure |
| Zone Control | Force enemies to move to you |

Never stand in the open.
