Why Your Teamwork is BAD in Fortnite (and How to Fix It) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00I strongly believe that teamwork is the
2. 0:02single most powerful factor in winning
3. 0:05more games of Fortnite, especially
4. 0:07Fortnite Zero Build. It is the X factor
5. 0:09that most players completely overlook.
6. 0:11The truth is simple. A coordinated team
7. 0:13with average mechanics will consistently
8. 0:16beat an uncoordinated team of sweats.
9. 0:18And being a great player isn't about raw
10. 0:20mechanics alone. It's also about knowing
11. 0:23how to be a great teammate. But here's
12. 0:25the problem. Most players have never
13. 0:27been taught the laws of teamwork. the
14. 0:29invisible rules that determine the
15. 0:31outcome of fights and games in Fortnite.
16. 0:34That's what this video is about. I'm
17. 0:36going to break down the core laws of
18. 0:37teamwork in Fortnite, then show you
19. 0:39exactly how they play out in real
20. 0:41gameplay. If your team applies even half
21. 0:44this stuff, you'll win more fights, more
22. 0:46end games, more matches, guaranteed. So,
23. 0:49make sure to share this video with your
24. 0:51teammates to become an unstoppable
25. 0:53force. Let's get into it.
26. 0:56The laws of teamwork in Fortnite. Law
27. 0:58number one, communication is a force
28. 1:01multiplier. Good communication makes
29. 1:04every fight easier. Bad or missing
30. 1:07communication makes everything much
31. 1:09harder. So, you should constantly be
32. 1:11calling things out like where you're
33. 1:13rotating to and why. Asking what your
34. 1:15team is doing right now or their general
35. 1:17location. Telling your teammates when
36. 1:19you have eyes on them and you can
37. 1:21support them. Telling them when you
38. 1:22don't have line of sight or you can't
39. 1:24help them. calling out what utility
40. 1:26you're carrying as you move through the
41. 1:28map and asking what utility your
42. 1:30teammates have as well. This lets
43. 1:32everyone know if you have enough
44. 1:33mobility to keep up with each other or
45. 1:35if you can support each other with
46. 1:36things like bunkers or heals. Now, you
47. 1:38don't need to be talking non-stop, but
48. 1:40silence loses games, so you need to get
49. 1:42in the habit of frequently communicating
50. 1:45valuable information. Law number two,
51. 1:48proximity and line of sight decides
52. 1:51fights. Now, if I had to estimate,
53. 1:53proximity to your teammates decides
54. 1:55about 80% of team fights. If you have
55. 1:58eyes on your teammate and the enemy,
56. 2:00fights become much easier, and you can
57. 2:02multiply your damage output on single
58. 2:05targets to cut through the opponent's
59. 2:06team quickly. A single player cannot
60. 2:08shoot multiple players at once. But if
61. 2:11your teammate gets shot and you can't
62. 2:13see the enemy or your teammate,
63. 2:15something went wrong with your
64. 2:16communication before the fight even
65. 2:18started, and they have little chance of
66. 2:20surviving. And if your teammate gets
67. 2:22shot and you can't see the enemy or your
68. 2:24teammate, you should probably consider
69. 2:26them deceased and something probably
70. 2:28went wrong with your communication
71. 2:30before the fight even started. Now, I'll
72. 2:31just note that the most common issue I
73. 2:33see with teammates dying alone is a team
74. 2:36that moves out of a POI separately
75. 2:38because they don't want to wait for
76. 2:40their teammates to be ready. So, try to
77. 2:42ensure that your team has a viable
78. 2:43loadout to fight before you move out
79. 2:45together. And if they don't, you better
80. 2:47be supporting them as best as you can.
81. 2:49But please don't be the player in a team
82. 2:52that has to continue to loot until they
83. 2:54have a perfect loadout. Because it won't
84. 2:56matter if you're causing your team to
85. 2:58get bored to literal death, cause them
86. 3:00to wander off alone and die before
87. 3:02you're ready to go. Yes, I'm talking to
88. 3:05you. You are not the only victim of a
89. 3:07bad teammate. You are equally at fault
90. 3:09for not keeping pace with your team and
91. 3:12communicating your needs. Law number
92. 3:14three, stay active in the fight. Your
93. 3:17job in a fight is not just to survive.
94. 3:20It's to remain a threat. If you
95. 3:22disengage too early to hide and heal up
96. 3:25or stop applying pressure, your
97. 3:26teammates will get isolated, the enemies
98. 3:28will gain confidence, and the fight
99. 3:30becomes a series of 2v1s, and you're the
100. 3:33next casualty after your teammate is
101. 3:35knocked. So, try to live by the mantra
102. 3:37of fight together, die together. Go
103. 3:40allin on supporting your teammate and
104. 3:43winning fights together, even if you end
105. 3:44up on your knees or very low health.
106. 3:47This will make you a better team
107. 3:48overall. The worst feeling is fighting
108. 3:50alongside your teammate in a 2v2 and not
109. 3:52realizing that they left you to heal up
110. 3:55and now you get isolated in a 2v1, which
111. 3:57is why you always need to communicate to
112. 3:59your team during a fight if you're fully
113. 4:01leaving or if you're just repositioning
114. 4:03to support. If you're low on health
115. 4:05during a fight, try to break the aggro
116. 4:07of your enemy, but still support your
117. 4:09teammate the best you can and vice
118. 4:11versa. Even if you have to run around in
119. 4:13circles around a single piece of cover
120. 4:15while your teammate shoots the enemy in
121. 4:17the back, that is much more effective
122. 4:19than jumping out of the fight and then
123. 4:20having yourself probably get hunted down
124. 4:22as well. Sometimes being the bait or the
125. 4:24distraction in the fight is the most
126. 4:26effective thing you can do for your
127. 4:27teammate who's trying to support you. It
128. 4:29actually makes a lot of fights very
129. 4:30easy. Law number four, stay alive, keep
130. 4:34alive. If your teammate dies when you're
131. 4:37nearby, something broke down. Usually,
132. 4:39it's one of three things. You weren't
133. 4:41looking at the same target, you weren't
134. 4:43applying enough pressure, or you weren't
135. 4:45positioned to support. Keeping your
136. 4:47teammates alive and on their feet
137. 4:49matters far more than chasing
138. 4:51eliminations. There is exponential power
139. 4:53in numbers, so keeping your team alive
140. 4:56greatly increases the odds of winning
141. 4:58games. Even if you consider your
142. 4:59teammates cannon fodder, they can be the
143. 5:01perfect distraction for the fragger on
144. 5:03your team to take down opponents. But
145. 5:05when your team's down and all the
146. 5:07opponent's guns are focused on you, you
147. 5:09have very little chance of winning or
148. 5:11making any big plays. Law number five,
149. 5:14synchronization
150. 5:15wins or loses fights. Timing matters far
151. 5:20more than people realize. If you and
152. 5:22your teammate are even a few seconds out
153. 5:24of sync, an offensive push can fail,
154. 5:26causing a bad 1v2 situation. The enemy
155. 5:29team feels no pressure and has full
156. 5:31freedom to attack the solo, and the
157. 5:33fight completely falls apart because
158. 5:35it's like the enemy is dealing double
159. 5:37damage. Good teams synchronize their
160. 5:39attack down to the second and ensure
161. 5:42that they're the ones dealing the double
162. 5:44damage and outputting the most pressure.
163. 5:46This is what makes fights easy. Perfect
164. 5:49timing makes average plays unbeatable
165. 5:52and bad timing makes good players look
166. 5:54terrible. Law number six, unity beats
167. 5:58perfection. A bad plan executed together
168. 6:01is better than a great plan executed
169. 6:04alone. Hesitation, debate, and split
170. 6:07decisions lose fights. Just fight
171. 6:10together and either win together or go
172. 6:12down together. That's how teams learn
173. 6:15faster together and become an
174. 6:17unstoppable force. Overall, the core
175. 6:19truth is that Fortnite's team games are
176. 6:21not won by the best individual players.
177. 6:24They're won by the most coordinated
178. 6:26team. Now, I'm going to give you real
179. 6:28gameplay examples of everything I just
180. 6:30explained to illustrate what good
181. 6:32teamwork looks like. These clips will
182. 6:34feature the legendary player Slinky, who
183. 6:36also has a great Fortnite YouTube
184. 6:38channel that you should definitely check
185. 6:40out. Let's get into it. All right,
186. 6:41here's our first clip, which I think
187. 6:43illustrates communication pretty well
188. 6:44and synchronization. Oh, on the center
189. 6:48with my mark, but he's down the cliff
190. 6:51and on the bridge just standing out.
191. 6:5480 126 and this guy right behind the
192. 6:56pole. Cracked
193. 6:59>> that bunk. You are pushing or what? Not
194. 7:03>> I am now
195. 7:04>> cuz we got to go in zone. I'm going to
196. 7:05land.
197. 7:09>> Ow. Impressive shots.
198. 7:13He's jumping. He's on the backside. His
199. 7:15teammate's landing on him. Catwoman's
200. 7:18hurt, too.
201. 7:20>> Hunker bouncing. Oh,
202. 7:23>> cracked on the Catwoman. We should jump
203. 7:24on that.
204. 7:27>> I'm late. I'm late.
205. 7:30That one.
206. 7:33>> Oh, yeah. Nice.
207. 7:36What I want you to take away from this
208. 7:37clip is the level of communication and
209. 7:39clarification. Notice how I explained
210. 7:41where the players were located and how
211. 7:43much damage I did, as well as dropping a
212. 7:45pin on the location for my teammate to
213. 7:47see. You'll also notice that I asked for
214. 7:48clarification for my teammate to see if
215. 7:50he was pushing or not because I didn't
216. 7:52quite understand him. I then get eyes on
217. 7:54my teammate and try to see what he is
218. 7:56seeing to better understand what's
219. 7:57happening. I then make a quick plan to
220. 7:59bunker bounce these players out, which
221. 8:01pushes them out of their bunker with the
222. 8:03tires of my bunker. And then I try to
223. 8:05coordinate as quick as I can, but my
224. 8:07teammate actually gets in the fight
225. 8:08ahead of me and I'm not synced up. So I
226. 8:10try to make it very clear to him that I
227. 8:12am not in the fight and I am delayed,
228. 8:14but I'll be there soon. This guides his
229. 8:16decision to back into cover and
230. 8:17reposition so he's not taking damage
231. 8:19from two angles and not receiving any
232. 8:21support. Here's another clip that
233. 8:22displays the importance of line of sight
234. 8:25even though I am not in close proximity
235. 8:27to my teammate. Notice how he
236. 8:28repositions to allow me to support him.
237. 8:32See, now I'm close in proximity to you.
238. 8:34So if you back down,
239. 8:36>> I can see you.
240. 8:39>> 135.
241. 8:41>> Absolutely destroyed.
242. 8:42>> Damage the pump does.
243. 8:44>> His decision to give me line of sight
244. 8:46turns that hard 2v1 into an easy 2v2
245. 8:49where I am supporting from afar. Here's
246. 8:51another clip that illustrates staying
247. 8:53alive and active in the fight for your
248. 8:55teammate. Notice how I communicate that
249. 8:56I'm stuck in the 2v1 and I'm trying to
250. 8:58buy time for my teammate to come support
251. 9:00me. Once he gets into the fight with me,
252. 9:02I return to supporting him and dealing
253. 9:04damage.
254. 9:0660 80
255. 9:09>> I'm not landing directly on him.
256. 9:11>> You're not.
257. 9:12>> I will not make a bad choice.
258. 9:14>> I am throwing a bunker against their
259. 9:15bunker. They might be bounced. Probably
260. 9:17not. I know two one v two if you can do
261. 9:20some damage. Trying to just dance one's
262. 9:24one shot basically.
263. 9:30when you say one shot.
264. 9:32>> Oh, I was lying to you 100%. I was
265. 9:34trying to make you feel confident.
266. 9:36>> Thanks, dude. We exchanged a little joke
267. 9:38about his call out of one shot, but
268. 9:40ultimately it was good teamwork because
269. 9:42I was surviving for my teammate, buying
270. 9:44some time for him to get active in the
271. 9:46fight, being a good distraction and some
272. 9:48bait, and then supporting him once he
273. 9:50was active as well. Here's another
274. 9:51example of staying alive and active in
275. 9:53the fight. And we play reverse roles.
276. 9:55>> Stairs
277. 9:56that direction.
278. 9:57>> Oh, they're on the back side.
279. 10:01>> Wait to engage. I'm not
280. 10:03>> Kardashian skin. I'm waiting. I'm
281. 10:04waiting. I'm with you.
282. 10:05>> I'm with you. Okay.
283. 10:06>> I'm with you. We are with each other.
284. 10:10>> All right.
285. 10:13>> Crunched.
286. 10:17You'll notice how I was kind of lost in
287. 10:19that fight and not able to put damage or
288. 10:21pressure on the enemy, but my presence
289. 10:23with the visual audio footsteps and
290. 10:26being in close proximity to the enemies
291. 10:28made them feel like they were in danger
292. 10:30and allowed my teammate to make enough
293. 10:31moves and buy enough time for me to
294. 10:33finally get active in the fight. Here's
295. 10:35another clip of staying alive and active
296. 10:36in the fight for your teammate. But I
297. 10:38also want you to pay attention to the
298. 10:39call outs we're making before we exit
299. 10:41our POI. I'm talking about what I'm
300. 10:43carrying and I'm asking what he's
301. 10:44carrying so I know if he can support me
302. 10:46from afar or not.
303. 10:49All right. I got crashes. I'm ready to
304. 10:51go.
305. 10:53All right. Well, there's fighting over
306. 10:54at that gas station, which is what I was
307. 10:56going to.
308. 10:57>> Do you have a scope AR?
309. 11:00>> No, but I got some ge
310. 11:02do the dot to do the job probably. Okay.
311. 11:05Didn't work the second time.
312. 11:07Yes.
313. 11:16Oh, that I can't climb that. That is
314. 11:19unclimbable. That one.
315. 11:21>> Other one went this direction in the
316. 11:23bush.
317. 11:25>> Nine. So much damage.
318. 11:27>> Oh, that's deflating.
319. 11:29>> Get him, Toby.
320. 11:30>> Wait, you're still alive. But there's
321. 11:32That's not possible, though. Yeah,
322. 11:34that's not possible.
323. 11:36And then you notice how Slinky literally
324. 11:38gets down to one HP in this fight, but
325. 11:41manages to stay alive, which makes the
326. 11:43fight very easy because he remains a
327. 11:45threat and keeps the players from
328. 11:47pushing a 2v1 against myself. He heals
329. 11:50up very quickly with a nearby slurp
330. 11:52truck and then gets right back into the
331. 11:53fight, even at 100 HP. And overall, that
332. 11:56makes what looked like a scuffed fight
333. 11:58actually very easy. Here's another clip
334. 11:59that demonstrates staying active in the
335. 12:01fight even when you're hurt and doing
336. 12:03your best to keep your teammate alive. I
337. 12:05jump in on a player to finish a fight
338. 12:07and end up getting third partied by
339. 12:08another team who is actually pretty
340. 12:10sweaty. I shockwave out, but I get very
341. 12:12hurt in the process, but I do not fully
342. 12:14exit the fight. Instead, I get myself to
343. 12:16a fairly safe position and look back on
344. 12:18my teammate to watch him in case he gets
345. 12:21jumped as well. The enemy team does end
346. 12:23up jumping them, but they give me free
347. 12:25damage because they don't realize that I
348. 12:27didn't fully leave. Slinky does end up
349. 12:29going down, but we both do plenty of
350. 12:31damage to make the fight very easy. And
351. 12:33that is the importance of staying active
352. 12:35in the fight even when you're hurt and
353. 12:36supporting your teammate. Now you're
354. 12:38getting excited. Should I push that?
355. 12:40>> No, there's they're playing weird angles
356. 12:42now. One's in the bush, one's on this
357. 12:43rock.
358. 12:45>> Oh, they're getting pushed. Go, go, go,
359. 12:46go, go, go, go.
360. 12:49>> Down. Get lightning.
361. 12:52>> Oh, now I just inserted myself into the
362. 12:55>> Oh, I'll be with you. It's okay. It's
363. 12:57okay.
364. 12:57Oh my goodness. Careful, careful,
365. 13:00careful.
366. 13:01>> They ain't playing. I'm watching the
367. 13:03hill, but I'm not like
368. 13:05>> 100.
369. 13:06>> 100 100.
370. 13:07>> One shot. One shot.
371. 13:08>> For real. Dead
372. 13:09>> behind you.
373. 13:12>> I threw a shock wave at him by accident
374. 13:13instead of a bunker. 100.
375. 13:19>> Threw a shock wave at him when I was
376. 13:21trying to throw a bunker down. No.
377. 13:23Here's a clip that illustrates
378. 13:25synchronizing with your teammate down to
379. 13:27the very second of when you make a push.
380. 13:29I tell my teammate to stall so we can
381. 13:31land at the exact same time. And then we
382. 13:32put an immense amount of pressure on
383. 13:34each player, focusing our shots
384. 13:36together.
385. 13:37>> Wait, stall. Stall. Stall.
386. 13:41>> You just do balloon.
387. 13:47>> I've done tens of damage so
388. 13:50>> tens. 20s. You'll notice how Slinky says
389. 13:53that he basically did no damage there,
390. 13:55but it doesn't matter because there's
391. 13:56two of us. That's too much pressure.
392. 13:58That's too many targets, and it turns
393. 14:00the fight into what feels like a 1v2 for
394. 14:03each of those players, which also makes
395. 14:04them feel like they lost the fight
396. 14:06before it even started. All right,
397. 14:07here's another clip of synchronizing
398. 14:09with your team.
399. 14:10>> Oh, there's
400. 14:14unrelated. Oh, he almost just killed me.
401. 14:16What the
402. 14:18>> See how good of a team I am?
403. 14:24Go Toby. Go Toby. Yeah. Yeah.
404. 14:28You hit fish. Who carries floppers? How
405. 14:30do you
406. 14:31>> Another one.
407. 14:32>> Oh, another person. Yeah,
408. 14:33>> I got it. I got Santa's one shot.
409. 14:37>> Santa Snoop Loop. One's on the roof
410. 14:39behind. Correct.
411. 14:41>> Nice.
412. 14:43>> Look at me canceling my heal to come
413. 14:44help you.
414. 14:45>> Slurp you. I got a slurp for you. I want
415. 14:46you to notice the decision-making there
416. 14:48and the aggression to protect my
417. 14:49teammate, keep him alive, and also
418. 14:51synchronize. In the first fight, I
419. 14:53managed to land a little bit of damage
420. 14:54and knock the player before he knocks
421. 14:56Slinky. Slinky's able to stay on his
422. 14:58feet and heal up. Meanwhile, I instantly
423. 15:00go into aggression on the next enemy so
424. 15:03they don't knock Slinky while he's
425. 15:04trying to heal. Slinky recognizes that I
426. 15:06have that fight pretty easily. He drops
427. 15:08down and runs into another player, but
428. 15:10I'm in close proximity and I'm
429. 15:11synchronized, so I am helping him as
430. 15:13much as I can and vice versa. It ends up
431. 15:16being two different players coming in at
432. 15:18separate times, not synchronized like
433. 15:20us, which makes the fights very easy.
434. 15:22You'll even notice that I cancelled my
435. 15:24shield pot healing just to get into the
436. 15:26fight and sync up with my teammate and
437. 15:28make the fight an easy 2v1, which I
438. 15:31believe paid off a lot because I think
439. 15:33the second player probably would have
440. 15:34knocked Slinky and then it would have
441. 15:36turned into more of a 1v one. Nice.
442. 15:40>> Look at me cancelling my heal to come
443. 15:41help you.
444. 15:42>> Slurp for you. I got a slurp for you.
445. 15:43>> Thank you. I got three brother
446. 15:47more than
447. 15:47>> we actually banter a little bit about
448. 15:49who can be the best teammates. So I call
449. 15:51out things like canceling my heal to
450. 15:52come help him and that kind of
451. 15:54encourages like a funny friendly
452. 15:56competition about who the best teammate
453. 15:58is, which only helps us win more games.
454. 16:00Here's another clip of synchronizing
455. 16:01with your teammates, but also pay close
456. 16:03attention to the call outs that we're
457. 16:05making as we push the team. We let each
458. 16:07other know kind of what inventory we
459. 16:09have. We make a quick plan to jump on
460. 16:11the roof. I let him know that I have
461. 16:13bunkers so that we can play those during
462. 16:15the fight. And then we sync up and we
463. 16:16focus one player at a time. You'll
464. 16:18notice that I jump backwards to fight
465. 16:19with him just to make it easy 2v1s. Yep.
466. 16:24Three bucks. Oh, they're right behind
467. 16:26this blue fence.
468. 16:28>> Blue fence, baby.
469. 16:33>> Bunker bouncing.
470. 16:36One's underneath my bunk coming with
471. 16:39you. One is no longer in your body.
472. 16:44>> There's simply no escape here.
473. 16:45>> And one more example clip of
474. 16:46synchronizing with your teammates to
475. 16:48make fights easy and output a lot of
476. 16:50damage together.
477. 16:53>> Only two left. Oh, they're all here.
478. 16:54They're all here. Yeah, I'm jumping on
479. 16:55that team with you.
480. 16:58>> On that guy, that guy.
481. 17:01>> Nice, nice, nice.
482. 17:04I also want you to recognize how I
483. 17:06turned from aggression in supporting
484. 17:07Slinky to quickly playing my own life
485. 17:10and surviving for him so that he could
486. 17:12then go to aggression and support me.
487. 17:14So, your job kind of changes in the
488. 17:16fight based on your situation, but
489. 17:17basically you got to stay alive for your
490. 17:18teammate and keep your teammate alive
491. 17:20while staying active in the fight. I
492. 17:22keep the enemies focused by dropping
493. 17:24behind the tree quickly and breaking
494. 17:25line of sight and then Slinky just gets
495. 17:27to shoot them in the back. All right,
