The Major Mistakes in Fortnite’s Record-Smashing Blitz Royale Mode

Blitz Royale, okay, lemme level with you. It’s like Fortnite turned up to eleven. We’re talking 32 players, which—get this—makes it feel like the whole map shrunk in the wash. Boom. You’re in each other’s faces faster than you can say “Battle Bus.”

Five minutes. That’s all you got. No time for chilling out in Retail Row, opening every chest like it’s Christmas morning. Nah, you’ll end up geared to the nines, but guess what? Some hotshot’s already been busy—racked up a bunch of eliminations, sitting pretty at Level 7. It’s a madhouse out there.

Let’s talk about Medallions—fancy name, right? They’re your secret sauce. Like, you start with one out of the gate, and they crank up the perks as you eliminate rivals. Infinite ammo? Yes, please. Snag them from Golden Supply Drops as you go. Basically, if you’re not on top of these, you might as well kiss the Victory Royale goodbye. Seriously.

Anyway, back to looting—you can’t be messing around. The map’s tiny—players lurking around every corner. Stand still, and you’ll probably get jumped in seconds. Especially in those wide-open zones like hilltops. Shield Bubbles? Your new best buddy. Just sayin’.

Now, eliminations are where it’s at. Sure, surviving the storm gives you a pat on the back, but combat points? That’s where the money’s hiding. Early-game scuffles? They leave you with killer gear and pumped-up Medallions. Those who avoid action? Underpowered and likely to regret it.

And the weapons. Long-range? Not in Blitz. Here’s the scoop: SMGs, shotguns—keep ’em close, keep ’em loaded. In those final circles of death, spacing tightens up. Ditch the sniper rifles unless you like being on the losing side.

Oh, about those Medallions again—four flavors: Movement, Offense, Healing, and Wildcard. Each got its gig. The Aspect of Combat Medallion? Great with SMGs and ARs, but a total mismatch if you’re rolling in with double shotguns. The Ringmaster Scarr? Fantastic with the Twinfire Auto Shotgun, gives you that sweet endless ammo.

Siphon Medallion, right? Say goodbye to those extra heals you’ve been hoarding. Eliminations boost your health and shield—no need for two healing slots dragging you down. Stack your loadout with mobility stuff instead. Bass Boost Gloves? Perfect for quick exits or pouncing on a weakened foe.

So, there it is—a chaotic swirl of fights, fast decision-making, and not much room for error. It’s intense, but isn’t that what makes it fun?
