Fortnite Battle Royale – How to See Ping in Fortnite BR

Fortnite relies on players reporting you for AFKing for bans. In addition, the only real mentions I can find of people being permabanned for going AFK has 3 major similarities:

1. They're repeat and serial offenders who get multiple reports for going AFK every match;
2. They weren't just AFKing for several minutes, but rather actively using macros and bots to stay online beyond the normal 2-3 minutes it takes for the inactivity to kick them out of the game;
3. They were leeching rewards and resources in Campaign mode games and not actively participating in the game.

I do not have official confirmation, but I'm fairly sure that if you aren't actively trying to avoid the AFK kick timer, going to the toilet for a minute or so in the middle of a match every once in a while won't be enough to be flagged as a serial offender. Especially in a BR match where players are less likely to flag you for AFK and more likely to just kill you.

However, if I may give you some advice, just go to the toilet BEFORE you start the match. Fortnite Battle Royale matches at most last 20 minutes. Unless you have a medical condition that has frequent urination or defecation as a symptom, it's unlikely that you have to wait so long between queueing up and the end of the game that you end up needing to go to the toilet during the match.

And if there is anything else you need to do while playing the game: if it's urgent, just leave the match (if you're in a team, tell your teammates that something IRL has come up and you need to leave). If it's not urgent, wait for the end of the match and don't queue again until you are done with the thing you need to do.

Well if you like building battles then rushing towers should be relatively easy as most techniques rely heavily on building. The techniques used to rush a tower are varied and depend on many factors:

• What items you have(launchpad,explosives etc.)
• The amount of materials you have
• The design of the tower and its height
• If the person in the tower hasn't noticed you yet or the presence of other enemies

Using Explosives and Other Items

If you have explosive weapons such as the rocket launcher, grenade launcher, the new guided missile launcher, or normal grenades then you can attempt to destroy their tower from a relatively safe distance and proceed to rush them afterwards. This approach depends on the design of the tower and its height if its a 1x1 tower that's 5 walls high then you can shoot 2 or 3 rockets directed to the same floor level to bring it down. This is better than shooting the rockets directly at them as they can build the walls back faster then you can destroy them(unless you also shoot at them with your Assault rifle after each rocket this can be a valid tactic in certain situations especially when they are near the same level as you) . If you have grenades and you're close enough to the tower you can shoot a wall facing you(preferably the one attached to the ground) and then proceed to throw grenades inside the tower. You can also use other items such as the launchpad and impulse grenades although both are a bit risky they're a great way to infiltrate a tower with a wide top as you can easily land away from the enemy which gives you time to build and to protect yourself.

Using Building to your Advantage

It's very hard to explain building techniques using words only that's why I believe you should watch professional players streams or videos and focus on how they build up to towers as there isn't one good way to build to a tower that works for all situations. You should already have good experience with most of the building techniques used to attack a tower as a lot of them are used in build battles as well. This video shows two ways that you can use to attack a tower. Notice how in the first clip he builds walls around him every time he's not moving this protects him from getting shot by someone else and should be something you do whenever you're building but not moving in general. You should also watch other tutorial videos about attacking towers but this video is a good place to start. The beginning of this video shows another way to attack a tower.
