Hey what is going on guys, in this video today we're gonna be going over how to improve your
shotgun gameplay in Fortnite.
About a month ago I made an aim tip video that was mainly focused on how to properly
take advantage of aim assist.
And at the end of that video, I asked you guys to share what specific aspect of aiming
you most struggle with in Fortnite.
So, I read over a bunch of those comments and probably the most common thing I saw,
is that a lot of people struggle with shotgun aim specifically.
And, I can totally understand why that's something that so many people want to improve on.
Close range shotgun fights are without a doubt the most important and most aim-dependent
fights in all of Fortnite.
No matter how great your IQ, positioning, and building are, you're simply gonna have
to be able to win a 50/50 shotgun fight every once in a while.
And especially if you land in super populated towns with a lot of buildings like tilted,
retail, or pleasant, you're gonna really struggle to even survive the first couple minutes of
a game if you aren't to hit shotgun shots.
So, hopefully this video will help you guys do exactly that, and without further ado let's
get right into it.
Alright, so if you've watched any of my aim tip videos or just shotgun tip videos in general,
you've probably heard some of the more basic/common shotgun tips.
You don't really ever want to aim down sights, you always want to position yourself to where
you can take advantage of left-side peaking, always aim for the head, try to stay mobile
at all times in those close range fights, and try to avoid as many 50/50 shotgun fights
as possible by using your builds to block shots.
Even though those tips are basic, I don't want to make it seem like they aren't incredibly
important.
What I commonly see with my friends who are just casual players trying to improve, is
that, for the first 2-3 games after I tell them, they'll make an effort to implement
tips like that into their game.
But, after those first 2-3 games, they'll kinda forget to keep doing it, and it'll eventually
just fade out of their gameplay entirely.
So, even though those things may seem super basic, don't just gloss over and forget about
them.
Because if you don't have the fundamentals down, the more advanced shotgun tips I'm about
to share won't really help you as much.
Alright, so as I'm sure you guys know, one of the most important skills to have to be
a great shotgun player is the ability to consistently hit headshots.
Especially now with any pump blue rarity or higher pump shotgun doing 200+ headshot damage
at point blank range, it's now more important than ever to prioritize headshots over body
shots.
But, obviously that's much easier said then done.
Here's a really simple tip that if you guys can get master, I guarantee it will help you
hit more shotgun headshots and also just generally be more accurate.
A mistake that soooo many players make, is that they keep their crosshair positioned
way too low whenever they're running/walking around in-game.
I'll explain what I mean by that in a second, but first, I want you guys to watch this clip
from my friend that I think illustrates the problem very well.
I'm going to zoom in and slow the clip down a bit so it's a little easier to follow.
I want you to really focus on the positioning of his shotgun's crosshair here, and also,
what he does when he goes to take the shot.
What you just saw in that clip was basically a textbook example of how that bad habit of
keeping your crosshair too low while moving, will have a MAJOR negative impact on your
shotgun aim as a whole.
Because that player kept his crosshair so low while running forward, he was basically
lined up with his enemy's foot when he ran through the door and they first came face
to face.
Now, I've told my friend about a million times that he should be going for headhosts in every
shotgun fight he gets into, so, instead of just shooting the foot, he instead goes for
a last second semi-flick shot towards the enemy's head.
It was a valiant attempt, but as you guys saw, that play ended up resulting in a 21
damage shot with I believe 2/10 total pellets hitting.
If you keep your crosshair positioned too low when engaging in shotgun fights, you're
going to be forced to make a choice between 2 less than ideal options every single time.
You can either keep your crosshair low and just go for body shots, or if you want to
go for a headshot, you'll do the same thing my friend did in that clip, and basically
gamble your life on a last prayer second flick shot.
Also think about it like this.
If you keep your crosshair at body level or below, when you see an enemy you're going
to need to first: adjust your aim left and right so you're lined up horizontally with
the enemy, and then second: adjust your aim up and down to try to hit a headshot.
However, if you can get into the habit of always keeping your crosshair at head level
even while you're moving, you only need to worry about adjusting left and right.
This not only makes aiming with shotguns easier and leads to more headshots but, it also makes
it so that don't need to do those split-second flick shots, which are very difficult to consistently
hit on controller/console.
So now here's another clip from the same player that was in the first clip, but this time,
he is going to keep his crosshair at head level even while moving.
And again, pay attention the crosshair placement and also, just how much easier and smoother
it all looks compared to the first clip.
This issue of keeping your crosshair too low while moving is way more common than you probably
think it is.
I've noticed that it's pretty much a natural thing for the majority of players.
It's finny because whenever I give people this tip to instead keep it at head level,
I get told that it feels really weird, and almost like you have a new line of vision
that makes it harder to see in front of you.
That's okay, if you're doing it correctly it will seem annoying at first, but eventually
you will get used to it.
And keep in mind, a lot of you guys have probably been playing Fortnite for over a year now,
which means for over a year you've been running around with your crosshair at leg/feet level.
So, it's going to take a lot of focus and effort to correct that problem.
You can't just pay attention to it for 2-3 games and then expect your muscle memory to
be fixed just like that.
So now that we've fully covered that super important tip for shotgun aim, let's talk
about the tfue classic/tfue special.
This technique is another more advanced type of shotgun tip, thats so important to learn
when it comes to taking that next step as a Fortnite player.
For those of you guys that don't know what the tfue classic is, it's basically a technique
done when you have about 2-3 levels of high ground over a player, and you want to shoot
them with your shotgun.
And how you do it is you take a shotgun shot while jumping forward, and then place a connected
floor piece under your feet so it catches you and stops you from falling.
And there are 2 main reasons why this is so effective.
1: because you're able to get off shots while still keeping high ground and 2: it enables
you to shoot from angles which may not be possible by just sitting on top of that high
ground.
My explanation of specifically how to do it may not have been the best, so here's a quick
little clip thats a solid example.
So yeah, the tfue classic is something that you'll see me do in my gameplays all the time.
It's probably a little easier on PC but its definitely totally doable on controller as
well with a little practice.
It actually used to be harder a few months ago because of the shotgun delay that was
added at the beginning of season 5, but, it's a little easier now mainly because of the
builder pro builds instantly setting.
And the final thing I want to cover in this video today is a super quick discussion on
sensitivity related to shotgun aim.
So, since you're really never going to be ADSing with shotgun, the only sensitivity
that matters is your X and Y sensitivity.
I can comments all the time asking questions like "I play on 8-8 sensitivity, is that too
high?
Or I play on 5.5-5 is that too low?"
So here's my general advice when it comes to X and Y sensitivity for shotgun aim, and
just general non-ADS aim as well.
Even though X and Y sensitivity goes from 0-10 in Fortnite, I would guess that the vast
majority of really good controller players play on somewhere in the range from 6-8.
That doesn't mean all of them but, definitely a lot of them.
Does that mean that YOU NEED to play on 6-8 X and Y?
No, it doesn't, but I would definitely recommend it.
And especially now that you can have a custom building sensitivity with the building sensitivity
multiplier, there's nothing wrong with playing on something like 6-6 and then just making
your building sensitivity higher.
However, I would say that the bear minimum for X and Y sensitivity is 5-5.
Anything lower than that, and it's simply too low to be able to track sprinting and
jumping players in shotgun fights.
It may sound a bit odd but here's how I kinda helped my friend find the best sensitivity
for him.
I made him start on 6.5-6.5, and then just had him move either up a or down by .5 at
a time depending on if he felt his sensitivity was too slow or too fast.
But, if you get to a point where you're at 5-5 and you still feel like you can't control
it, I would recommend struggling until you get used to that rather than going lower and
into the 4s.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and if you watched the entire thing be sure to
let me know with a comment down in the comment section below.
This video was about improving your shotgun aim in Fortnite, so I wanna know, what do
you think about your own personal shotgun aim?
Is it a strength in your game, a weakness, or something in-between.
