Hey what is going on guys, in this video today
we're gonna be going over how to do 90s like
a pro on controller or console. Anyone who
says that being able to do fast and effective
90s in Fortnite isn't important is just flat
out wrong. Is it possible to be relatively
successful if your 90s are slow and inefficient,
yeah I guess so, but you're definitely going
to be at a major disadvantage in a lot of
situations. There are multiple times in pretty
much every single Fortnite game you play where
you're being pressured by an opponent,,, and
you need to go straight up as fast as possible
while also being protected while doing so.
If you've ever watched a really good player
play zone wars, realistic 1v1s, or even just
normal 1v1s, odds are they're gonna start
almost every single round by cranking 4-5
90s in a row. If they do it faster than their
opponent they get high ground which is obviously
really advantageous in that situation. The
interesting thing about 90s is that other
than high ground re-takes, there's no type
of building technique in all of Fortnite with
more variations. There are no joke probably
10-15 different and unique 90s that players
use. Now is it important to know every type
of 90...no definitely not. Much like the advanced
high ground re-takes a lot of advanced 90s
are more about looking cool than actually
being practical and effective. Because of
that one of the purposes of this video is
to share the variations that I think are the
most important to know, and also give some
tips along the way regarding how to do better
and faster 90s in general if you play on controller.
So, without further ado, let's get right into
it.
Alright, so the first type of 90 is probably
the most common one that you'll see players
doing, and because of that it's mostly referred
to as just the "standard 90." Now there are
2 different ways to do the standard 90, the
first is by doing it in a clockwise direction
which is sometimes nicknamed the NA 90, and
then you can also do it in a counterclockwise
direction which is known as the EU 90. So
starting with clockwise you place a ramp and
then build the 4 walls for the 90 in a clockwise
and sort of down to up direction. You place
the first wall connected to the ramp, the
2nd one on top of that, the 3rd one connected
either to the left or right side of the 2nd
wall, and then the 4th wall under the 3rd
one. However, after you do that 90 once, each
time you do the next one you'll only have
to place 3 walls because the 3rd wall you
placed in the previous one will become the
first wall in the next one. Kinda confusing
but trust me that's how it is. The counterclockwise
version of the standard 90 is a little more
difficult in my opinion, I'm kinda trash at
doing it, and apparently that's because the
building path is more designed for mouse and
keyboard players. It starts the same way with
a ramp and the first wall connected to it,
but instead of building the 2nd wall on top
of the first wall you instead place it to
either the left or right side. Then you build
the 3rd wall on top of that and then the 4th
wall connected to the side of the 3rd one.
And much like with the NA 90 although you
build 4 walls the first time, each time after
that you only need to build 3. Both standard
90s can be done with or without a floor, but
I really really really recommend placing the
floor and ramp instead of just the ramp, and
that applies for most of these 90s.
The next type of 90 is called the 2-wall or
original EU 90. Much like with the standard
90 you start by connecting a wall to the front
of your ramp, but then you don't place a wall
on top of that, you instead connect a wall
to the side of it and then build a wall on
top of that. So the first time you do that
90 you'll place 3 walls and then every subsequent
time after you'll place 2. The positives of
this 90 is that because you're placing one
less wall than with the standard 90, you save
a few mats and some people find it easier/faster
to do. However, the obvious negative with
that is the fact that you're gonna be slightly
less protected.
Another interesting variation of the 90 is
called the no jump 90. As I'm sure you can
guess based on the name, this is basically
the standard 90, but if you position yourself
correctly towards the left edge of your ramp,
you can actually do multiple of these 90s
in a row without jumping. Now these may look
really good and you might be thinking "oh
man that's awesome, timing jumps is one of
the hardest parts of 90ing so why would I
not just only do this method?" Well, I'm not
saying it's bad or anything because I will
use it in certain situations, but you have
to get the timing and your body positioning
pretty much perfect for it to work. If you
mess that up at all you're either gonna get
stuck under your ramp or blocked by your wall.
The final basic type of 90 that I want to
cover is called the poverty 90. This doesn't
even require you to build a single wall, you
just place a floor and ramp, turn 90 degrees,
and then repeat the process over and over
again. Now I don't think I need to go too
in-depth about this one because the positives
and negatives are very obvious. Really cheap
on materials and easy to build, but you're
pretty much totally exposed while doing so
and also easy to shoot out. So I'd never recommended
cranking multiple of these in a row unless
it's literally your only option because you're
super low on mats. However, as we'll get into
a little later in this video, this poverty
90 technique is actually incredibly useful
when combined with a different type of 90.
So now that you guys know the basic variations
of the 90 let's get into some general tips
and also some advanced applications. Now jump
timing and positioning is one of the most
important aspects of doing multiple fast 90s
in a row. Your goal is to avoid doing two
things while jumping: hitting your sidewall
and getting jump fatigue. If you're jumping
and constantly hitting your side-wall while
90ing it's going to slow you down, mess up
your rhythm, and therefore probably mess up
your piece placement as well. The 2 most common
reasons people hit their side wall too much
while 90ing is because they're either positioned
too far to the left on their ramp or because
they jump too early. When you're running up
your ramp while 90ing you definitely wanna
be on the left side of that ramp, but you
also don't want to be all the way to the left.
The sweet spot is right around here in my
experience. Now it isn't a big deal if the
side of your body is just lightly grazing
the side wall, you'll actually see that happen
to me and other good players from time to
time, but if it's anything more than that
it's definitely a problem that you need to
correct. Another major aspect of doing fast
and efficient 90s is avoiding getting jump
fatigued while cranking multiple 90s in a
row. If that happens it's gonna slow you down
a ton and make you way more likely to get
blocked by your building pieces. Now what
some people don't know is that even if you
do your 90s flawlessly, you're still going
to get jump fatigued after your 3rd or 4th
90 in a row. So when you hit that point of
3 90s straight and you're starting to get
jump fatigued, it takes somewhere around 1-2
seconds to reset that. So what you want to
do is either ramp up 1 time without 90ing
and then continue cranking which you saw me
do in almost all those clips earlier. Or you
can continue 90ing, but to prevent getting
jump fatigue you need to do what I call a
walking 90 instead of a normal one. As the
name kinda suggests, that means you 90 without
sprinting or jumping. So as you'll see in
this clip of me doing infinite 90s, what I
do to beat jump fatigue is I do 3 90s normally,
then I do 1 poverty 90 without jumping, then
back to regular 90s. That allows me to keep
going up forever and ever without really pausing
and without getting effected by jump fatigue.
That right there is a really important skill
that you need to learn because it's a lot
faster than the ramp method I also mentioned.
Another important aspect of doing 90s is your
crosshair placement throughout the entire
process. First off, you wanna make sure your
crosshair stays at around the middle of your
screen. If you let it get too high then when
you go to place your floor, you might accidentally
place it on top of your head which will ruin
everything. But at the same time if you let
your crosshair get too low then you have to
flick all over the place to complete the 90
which makes it much more difficult to do consistently.
Also, as I recently mentioned in my how to
build faster video, it's important that you
practice smooth circular motions when trying
to perfect your 90s. A lot of people mistakenly
think "To do 90s as fast as possible I need
to be flicking my thumbstick everywhere to
the point that everything basically looks
blurry." No, that really isn't true at all.
I don't think I have anywhere near the fastest
90s out there but I'm probably faster than
most people. And when you watch me, I don't
think you see anything that looks too crazy.
It's just smooth and controlled circular crosshair
motions that really don't even look all that
fast. So luckily 90s are one of the easiest
things in all of Fortnite to practice because
all you gotta do is hop in your own creative
world and just start spamming them. If you
do that while also implementing all the tips
I shared in this video there's no doubt in
my mind you'll be able to 90 like a pro in
no time at all.

think your own 90s are? Do you think you have
Faze Sway-level 90s, do you not really know
how to 90 at all, or something in-between?
