Editing in Fortnite really separate the
great players from the good players so
whether you're a noob and you've never
really edited before or you're a more
advanced player we're gonna go over the
mistakes that you probably still make in
fortnite I don't like this positioning
I don't like it one bit and this Lobby
seems sweaty as later
the first tip we're gonna be talking
about involves edit courses but we're
gonna talk about something that I've
never really heard a lot of people talk
about and that is that edit courses
shouldn't be your only way to improve
your edits and this is something that
I've messed up in the past typically I
just hop in and I do an edit course for
like 10 to 15 minutes and then I hop
into a real game
although this type of stuff does help
you get better you're not getting a lot
of experience outside of these set edits
that are the same in every single edit
course that you ever do so I decided to
talk to some editors and some better
builders than myself and get their opinion
on what it really takes to get better at
editing and even building in fortnite
and their number one tip for getting
better than anything was to do maybe a
course like this so you do the beginner
course the intermediate or the advanced
whatever you rank yourself and then
immediately after doing that you come on
out and you do some free building where
then you practice like these edits in
real time and of course I'm gonna mess
up for the video but you guys see like
you start practicing some of these edits
that you might be doing in the course
but you do them in like some free
buildings so this way you're practicing
your real game your open world like
movement while you're also practicing
your editing now that we talked about
how you should be practicing your edits
we need to talk about more of the
technical stuff so one thing that I've
messed up and I still mess up to this
day I'm giving you guys two tips right
off the bat that I still messed up and
one of those is I've had a question of
should you edit with your shotgun out your
pickaxe out or with your builds out and
this is a great question I didn't know
the answer to this until I did some more
research into what like pros do so the
majority of the time you want to be
doing edits with your builds out so
let's say you're you're taking a wall
you want to be able to replace this wall
you want to have your builds out when
you do the edit this is going to give
the ability to take more builds on
somebody and take more of their real
estate which is why you want your builds
out I want you to watch my edits right
here whenever I double edit with my
weapon out versus when I double edit
with my builds out so you're gonna see
you know you see the little shotgun
animation happen every single time now
going through with builds out there is
no extra animation that could possibly
slow you down so this is just so big
because especially if you're on bad ping
and you have to go through the shotgun
animation every single time you're
editing through that's really gonna slow
you down and it's gonna mess up the
edits where if you have your builds
out there's no extra animation and it
just goes right through a lot quicker
however I do want to specify that there
are times where it makes sense to edit
with a weapon out or a shotgun out or
something like that let's say you're
trying to do this edit right here and
get off a jump shot it is necessary to
have your shotgun out so that way you
don't have to let's say you have your
builds out yeah it doesn't make any
sense you have to switch your shotgun
then mid-air which would definitely
leave you at a disadvantage in that
fight it's time to talk through some
meta edits so basically just some edits
that have been just dominant in the game
lately so what we have first of all is
the top corner edit on a wall I'm sure a
lot of you guys have seen this but just
so you know with this edit you have two
options you can do what I just showed
you earlier in the video where you edit
and while you edit you jump and get off
a shot but you want to make sure you're
jumping this way to where whenever
you're in the box this person can only
see you like right there so it's a very
tough shot for them to hit and you have
a bigger advantage whereas you can also
do this where you make the edit now you
have a couple of options with this you
can go for that jump shot or you could
like you could try to trick them by like
going for this edit right here and then
resetting and going for like a window
peek or something like that this is the
great thing with edits as you can start
combining multiple edits you learn
together to really start throwing off
your opponents and that's what's really
gonna make you a more dominant player
now as far as meta edits go with ramp
edits inside boxes this is an edit that
is very very dominant in the game so of
course you guys all know the mongrel
edit right there so whenever you get a
ramp in some of these box and you edit
it like that you usually get a decent
shot
here but another step to this edit is
something I've seen Booga do which is
you make this edit like this but then
once you get that shot off so let me
just show you in fast motion right here
you get the shot off and then you edit
like that the person is most likely
gonna be whenever you take the ramp like
this and you do that edit they're most
likely gonna be trying to get behind
your ramp right here so then whenever
you do this they're gonna be completely
exposed after you got the first shot off
making it really easy to finish them off
now I want to show you another ramp edit
that is very dominant it's one that it's
Jerry ins talked about in the past and
he's absolutely right about it but it's
this edit right here where you come up
and then you can edit yourself down
right on top of this person everybody
knows that but I want to show you
another step to this edit as well if you
watch the person inside the box and you
make this edit a lot of people know this
edit now because Jerry and showed it
people have done this for a while and
they'll expect you to drop down right
here so if this person turns and they
face this direction right here one thing
you can do is then make this edit right
here to where then you can get a shot on
them because if they're turned like this
and you do this edit they're gonna have
to turn all the way over here to shoot
you whereas you'll be able to get this
shot off and then you can reset you can
reset the Edit that way whatever it is
right after you get that shot you're
gonna have the advantage so it's again a
lot of editing is just reading your
opponents and making the edits based on
that sometimes I feel like people get
too flashy with their edits they're just
trying to do way too much and they're
not actually reading their opponent
they're just like oh I saw mom girl do
this in a video it's like you can't just
do that all the time you got to read the
opponent lastly with meta edits I want
to show you something that bad wolf
actually just taught me recently and
this is a koan edit that is just
absolutely dominant so what you do is
let's say somebody's trying to break in
that wall or this wall or maybe you just
are unload mats in the start of the game
and you're inside a house so one thing
you can do is a koan edit like this
where then you can do an edit either
this way or whatever way and if you're
standing right here you see how I was
phased through the cone so if you stand
in the right spot
like right about here whenever you're
making the edit
your face through the cone and you can
get a shot off and I guarantee you this
is gonna throw up the other person
because the second you get that shot off
then you also have you can jump you can
make that edit right there there's
multiple options with this one as well
now we're really gonna throw it back to
the basics with some one by one edits
I've seen a lot of people that just do
this peak every single time and I'm
gonna be honest I'm guilty of doing this
too where I just get lazy and I'm in a
public match and I do this and how many
times this season
have you already been heavy sniped
whenever you're doing something like
this so you guys know that this is not
the best practice to do so just a couple
of things this is very very simple but
some one-by-one edits you can do stuff
like this anything with the cone inside
of one by one where you're peeking out
of a window or whatever the cone has
different elevations which makes you
very hard or at least at least a little
harder than if you're just standing at
the top of the box it makes you a little
bit harder to snipe if you really want
to improve your edits though one thing
that is extremely huge is efficiency of
your edits which all comes down to
crosshair placements so for example we
were just showing this edit right here
where you do these top three squares so
you can see and you can do it the way I
just did it if you think about the Edit
like this you're gonna be a lot worse
off and you're gonna be messing up this
edit more often look at how much easier
this becomes when you just do a straight
line down to the right look at how much
easier and more efficient that is
whereas if you're going like this
there's a lot more room to mess up if
you are dragging down and then going to
the left or if you're doing the same
thing on the right what you want to do
is start being more efficient with your
edits and something that you can do also
like another example is the four corner
edit instead of grabbing in the middle
of one of these squares and going down
and then going up like that what you can
do is grab right here and once you start
getting really good you'll be able to do
this a lot quicker it's where you're
just grabbing the Edit and doing them a
lot faster like that
it saves milliseconds but milliseconds
add up inside of a game and are the
difference between you winning or losing
a fight so let's say you only have like
one build or maybe a few builds and it's
the start of a game because that's
usually when this happens but it this
could work at the end game too one thing
that you can do in this situation is to
go
this side of the wall edit a door and
now you have made your own right
shoulder peak so you could even you know
if you want that's a bad crosshair
placement by me with that build but you
can edit a door and now you have your
own right shoulder piece you could
either pop off a shot with the right
shoulder like that or you can even hit
the jump shot
one more thing that's extremely
important with editing is bad 50 50s and
this is something you absolutely need to
avoid so for example whenever somebody's
in this box and on the other side I have
the option of editing like this and
going for a shot yeah I have a ton of
room to see this guy but they have a ton
of room to see me as well whereas if I
you instead choose to do this now from
this guy's standpoint look I could see
almost his whole body but from this guy
standpoint he can't see my head and you
guys all know how inconsistent tacks and
pumps have been this season so this guy
at best is gonna be able to shoot you
from like the waist down whereas you
have the option to get a shot off here
the second they shoot you can reset and
get another shot off I briefly mentioned
edit resets multiple times in this video
but just so you guys know out of all
these edits I just showed you the meta
edits these one-by-one the non 5050
edits anything like that what is most
important for you guys to know is how to
just make an edit and once you get off
your shot you immediately need to be
working on your crosshair placement so
let's say you do the edit we showed
earlier you need to reset that wall
right away that's your best bet man is
just resetting the wall get used to you
know popping off a shot then re grabbing
the wall and editing it really really
quickly if you reset these edits
eventually you're gonna get good at
catching people's shots and even once
you know like a build pieces health and
stuff like if you do a couple edits in a
row look at as the build piece is on
very low health so if you real quick do
like a window edit reset that do that
then reset again somebody shoots that
it's gonna break and then you can time
your shot gunshot in return to their
shot and you're gonna be able to pop off
a shot really really fast so just make
sure you're using resets to your
absolute advantage with edits keeping
the outro really short I hope this
helped you guys this is as much
an intermediate like editing in the game
as I could go into if you want more
advanced stuff let me know but I'll see
you guys in the next video
