Fortnite Battle Royale is one of the most popular games out there—with the free-to-play shooter available across PC, console, and even mobile platforms. But with a game this complex, it can be a bit intimidating to jump right in, especially when it has undergone a major overhaul.
(Season 11 was the first season following the major reboot of the game: Fortnite Chapter 2. The season removed many of the established weapons in the game, introduced the fishing and swimming mechanics, and changed a few elements within the game. And now it has given way to season 12.)
If you’re a complete newbie to Fortnite or just want a refresher on the game’s controls and mechanics when a new season rolls around, our cheat sheet below can help you. It covers controls for the PC version of the game and for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles too. The cheat sheet also lists various mechanics and terms you should know about.
FREE DOWNLOAD: This cheat sheet is available as a downloadable PDF from our distribution partner, TradePub. You will have to complete a short form to access it for the first time only. Download The Fortnite Essentials Cheat Sheet.
