I'll tell you right away: if you have one available Samsung smartphone or Samsung tablet, you can download the app epic Games, which you can then download Fortnite, directly from Galaxy Store, or the official digital store usually pre-installed on the devices of the well-known brand. In short, in this case you should have few problems in achieving your goal, since you just need to open the Galaxy Store, search for “epic games” e install the appropriate app, then proceeding to download the game.

In any case, the main procedure for installing Fortnite on Android, i.e. the one that works for all devices for a while, is the one that goes through the official APK file.

Either way, you'll just need to do the login with your Epic Games account or with the profile of your choice to actually enter the Fortnite home screen.

Play Fortnite on Android

Now that you actually know how to have Fortnite available on Android, I must first inform you of the fact that on mobile devices it is only possible to play the mode Battle royal (nothing, therefore, Save the world). It is in fact the Battle Royale mode, in fact the one that made the Epic Games title famous, which includes open-field battles between a maximum of 100 players.

This means that the aim of the game is mainly that of survival: during the games you will find yourself on a map shared with other opposing players and your aim will be to survive, building shelters and/or shelters (always if you don't prefer "Zero Constructions") and exploring the map, Looking for weaponry and other objects useful for survival, such as healing "potions".

In addition to player attacks, another threat is posed by Storm, a sort of lethal storm which, as it moves, increasingly restricts the field of action of the players, forcing them to move continuously to face each other. Victory in the game is awarded to the last player to defeat all opponents and survive the Storm. That said, now that I've briefly explained to you what the game objectives are, let's move on to the practical part where I'll explain how to take your first steps.

The first time you start Fortnite you may be asked to select an option relating to the key to use to fire the weapon: you can activate the automatic fire mode (which is the recommended one), or the option relating to the possibility of touch anywhere on the screen or press the appropriate button to fire the weapon. Once you have identified the mode of your interest, press on it and then tap on the button Select.

When you see the screen Lobby of Fortnite, I suggest you start one right away Partita. so you get an idea of ​​how to play. Don't worry if you still don't know the game commands: when you start the match they will be shown to you on the screen. Then press the button Play located at the bottom right of the screen Lobby and wait for matchmaking to find a match.

After launching with the parachute (perhaps remember to thank the bus driver), move around the game map, using the two sticks located on the right and left of the screen: the left stick is used to walk and run, while the right one is used to rotate the view. Then explore your surroundings, initially trying to stay away from your opponents.

Your first aim must be to look for weapons, materials and ammunition to collect by pressing on them: in this way they are automatically added to your inventory (the symbol of the backpack). Then use the ax that has been provided to split wood, destroy crates and buildings, in order to automatically fill the inventory slots with all the useful material.

At some point in the game, you will be notified of the arrival of the Storm: the "walkable" playing area will shrink more and more and you will therefore have to run away. You can choose whether to build a shelter in the place currently marked as safe on the game map (it's the one on the top left) or whether to face the enemies directly. If you want to build a shelter or a building you will need to have collected the suitable materials: in this case, press on the symbol of martello and wrench to enter the construction method and then arrange the panels on the field.

Being a PvP game, the other players they can attack you at any time, if you're in range. Respond or run away from enemy fire or, if there are only a few of you left, explore the map to find who is hiding and score one or more kills. The last player standing is the winner.
