Fortnite: Port-A-Fort guide – Tips, tricks and strategy advice
What you need to know about the new Port-A-Fort.
Everything you need to know about the Port-A-Fort Grenade in Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Fortnite separates itself from other Battle Royale games with its building mechanics that are easy to use, but hard to master. Fights often involve quickly placing structures to gain an advantage or quickly get on the defensive, and players who’ve mastered building on the fly tend to dominate matches.
Those who aren’t fond of building or simply don’t have the time to put into learning the ins and outs of whacking down structures will certainly appreciate Epic’s latest offering. The Port-A-Fort is a Grenade that “sprouts a quick defensive position upon impact”.
From all the info we’ve been given, it’s essentially a portable fort packed into a tiny Grenade – Fortnite’s take on a pop-up tent. Throw it on the ground and it’ll instantly create a pretty substantial metal fort, which should offer quite a few exciting possibilities for all players, but especially those who aren’t quite as handy when it comes to knocking together a defensive position of their own.
