How to train your target in Fortnite
There are countless ways to train your goal. Practicing in Fortnite objective cards and third party apps is the best way to improve. Here are the best third-party apps for target training:
These third-party apps help you track, swipe, and place crosshairs. Make sure you train your target for 10 minutes before playing Fortnite. After each session you get a score to keep track of your improvements and also your weaknesses. Be careful not to aim too low, overthink or go too fast. These are the most common bad habits that hold back players.

How to find the best sensitivity for your target
It is very important to make sure you have the most comfortable settings for yourself. Choosing the best settings and sensitivity can be difficult as it takes some time to find the perfect one. You’ll need to adjust the sensitivity until you can comfortably hit targets both left and right, as well as up and down consistently.
There are pros and cons to using both low and high sensitivity. The benefits of high sensitivity are that you can run faster and edit and build faster. The downsides are that aiming becomes more difficult and not as accurate. Benefits of low sensitivity are that you can be more precise and accurate. The downsides are a slower turn speed and more difficult flicks.
How to find the best PC settings in Fortnite
The best settings favor FPS (frames per second), input lag, and visibility over graphics quality. With lower input lag and more FPS, the game will be more responsive and feel smoother, allowing for better aiming and accuracy.
The best settings for aiming are:
- Rendering Mode: Performance Mode
- Viewing Distance: Far to Epic
- Textures: Low
- Automatically download high-resolution textures: Off
- Meshes: Low
- V-Sync: Off
Frame rate limit is chosen with respect to your monitor’s refresh rate. If your monitor has a 144 Hz refresh rate, you must select the 144 FPS limit.
