16 guaranteed tips to become Damn good at Fortnite

1 - Be Quite
One of the most important
Fortnite tips is to keep the
decibel level to an absolute
minimum. If a player nearby
can detect you with some
half-decent headphones,
they have a significant
advantage – even if you are
brimming with legendary loot.
This means you should run as
little as possible – running is
much louder than walking or
crouching, and emits
noticeable puffs of smoke in
your wake – and make sure
your surroundings are secure
when building or scavenging
resources with your pickaxe.
2- Master the landing

When falling out of the bus, you
may have seen some other
opponents pulling out their gliders
later than you. How? It all comes
down to how high you are above
land - for example, your glider will
open a lot higher over a mountain
than it would over a lake. So,
choosing your path and
approximating where your glider is
going to open will get you ahead of
your opponents to claim that well
deserved chest. Falling over a low
area will allow you to open your
'chute as late as possible, then if
you swerve over to a hill or building
you can land quicker and sprint
off on foot.
3- always pay attention

always assume there is
another player just round the
corner, waiting to invite you
to a sophisticated dinner date
with their pump-action
shotgun. If you hear a faint
noise, wait. Then wait again.
As soon as you get
complacent, you will be shot
dead and bumped back to the
lobby screen, all anguish and
frustration.
4-Cover as much as possible

Avoid running across open areas as
the longer you stay in the open,
the more likely you are to be
spotted by another player. Stick
to cover as much as possible, and if
you do have to make a cross-
country run, make sure you hug
cover or use your jumps to make
you a trickier target.

5- USE DRINK SHIELD POTIONS
If you get this little pot of
blue goodness make sure you
snaffle it up, immediately. It
will make a big difference to
your Fortnite gameplay. The
50% shield buff lasts for the
duration of the match, but,
since it is a shield buff, it
will not protect you from
certain damage types, like
falling. What’s more, you can
stack two, doubling your
starting max health and
giving you a serious
advantage.
6- ONLY ATTACK WHEN
YOU ARE CERTAIN OF THE RESULT
Unlike the vast majority of
multiplayer shooters, the aim
of Fortnite Battle Royale is
to survive, not to get kills.
This is arguably one of the
most important Fortnite tips
to remember: you could get 97
kills and still lose, it's the hard reality.

7- always cover your tracks

This is without doubt one of the
most useful things you can do while
exploring, as shutting doors allows
you to hear intruders entering the
building you're in. Think of it as
an early warning system, giving
you a few seconds to prepare and
get the jump on your unsuspecting
enemy while they move from room
to room. Also, open doors tell
others that someone has been
through the building already, so
don't give away your position
unnecessarily by leaving them
ajar
8- PILE resources towards  the match end

       At all times, you want to make
sure you have half an eye on
building your stock of
resources. In Fortnite Battle
Royale you have three
building materials: wood,
stone, and metal in ascending
order of durability. All can be
farmed around the map, but
make sure you aim for the
flashing circles when farming
to speed up the process.
New players tend to think
metal is the best material to
use, but this is often not the
case. Metal takes longer to
finish building and only
spawns with 70HP, meaning
players can easily shoot it
down, and you with it. Wood,
on the other hand, spawns
with 100 HP and builds much
faster (to a max of 200 HP)
than brick or metal. In other
words: to block bullets, or
when building aggressively,
you should use wood. When
building a safe little hideout,
use metal or brick.
9- THE CIRCLE
One of the most important
Fortnite tips is to always be
aware of the circle, forever
shrinking in size, always
ready to swallow you. Every
strategic decision should be
made with your proximity
relative to the eye of the
storm in mind.
Already in the circle once the
timer starts ticking down?
Great – pay attention to the
way in which it is shrinking.
Will you be outside it shortly?

10- ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN
B
This is a key distinction
between Fortnite gameplay
and PUBG’s: all cover in
Fortnite is destructible. Do
not trust it. Whenever you
start to feel comfortable and
hubris starts to set in, make
sure you have a contingency
plan or a viable, easily-
accessible escape route for
when things inevitably go tits
up.
11- Know your gear
Listen out for chests, as they
make a magical tingling noise when
you’re close by and should contain
at least one useful, high level, item
and some of the best Fortnite
weapons. They’re usually hiding in
attics or basements, so be
prepared to smash stuff to get to
them. Gear comes in six colours -
learn them and you won’t waste
your time trying to get to a blue
item when you already have a set
of purples:
Common - Grey
Uncommon - Green
Rare - Blue
Epic - Purple
Legendary - Gold

12- Constantly assess your
surroundings
If you run into a new area and see
construction has taken place, be
very wary indeed as someone has
set up a base here, and they might
well still be around to defend it.
Likewise, damaged buildings also
reveal that you're not the first
person to pass through here, so be
on the lookout for an enemy
presence. Listen for audio-cues
constantly, as your ears are the
best defense you have and will
often give away an opponent's
position before you've had chance
to see them.
13- Use height to your advantage

Being higher than other players
will give you an
advantage over the other players, so camp at the top of
buildings, head up hills and build
vertically - just make sure you
have some cover up there. Be
aware of your silhouette, as
elevation is great for intermittent
scans of the immediate area - and
you should do this to keep apprised
of all potential threats - but
being framed against the skyline
also makes you a lot more visible as
you'll be susceptible to long range
attacks.
14-Prepare for the endgame

If you make it to the endgame,
and are up against just a handful
of players in a small area, blow up
as much of the potential cover as
you can. These final stand-offs
tend to be a waiting game, where
hidden players bait each other
into exposing themselves, so don’t
give them the option. If you’re
lucky enough to obtain a Slurp
Juice, save it as this item is most
effective when you are about to
engage in battle. If you see an
enemy before they see you be sure
to knock back your Slurp Juice, as
this will regenerate both your
armor and health for a short
period of time, giving you a strong
advantage over your opponent.
15- Watch and learn
Once you've been eliminated from
a round, you'll drop into spectator
mode and watch the player who
killed you, then the player who kills
them, etc. The temptation of
course is to hit the Return To
Lobby prompt immediately and
jump into another match, but while
you're still getting to grips with
the game it pays to stick around
and observe. By following the
players who survive late into the
fight, you can see what tactics
they use and learn new techniques
to boost your skills for future
battles.
16- Use headphones
Fortnite's excellent use of spatial
audio is only enhanced when you're
donning a gaming headset.
Footsteps, gunshots and other in-
game sounds will feel much more
immersive and it'll be easier to
identify which direction they're
coming from if you're wearing
headphones. Hearing another
player before you see them is
often half the Fortnite strategy,
so give yourself the advantage  you will thank me for it.

9 Things I hate about Samsung Galaxy S9

Samsung Galaxy S9 is a great phone , but it's one that will always compared to his old brother the S8 , it's a device couldn't stand out on his own, and here is a brief list about the cons of the 2018 Samsung’s flagship S9:

1- The price
Smartphones nowadays cost and arm and a leg, and the S9 is no exception, although S9 cost much less than it's formidable rival iPhone X 720$ is still much to pay, it makes you wonder why are those thing so expensive?  What is the pricing is relly based on?
2- Battery Life
With the Galaxy S9's you will get a  3000 mAh battery capacity,I know this will disappoint a lot of people since we expected much better from Samsung’s flagship, knowing that a good number of its contemporaries(some with less-ambitious spec sheets) have power caps that peak at 4000mAh.
3 - AR Emoji
AR Emojis   are awful, and they are no where near  nearApple's Animojis. The AR Emoji is basically a set of 18 animated GIF stickers that you can use for your chats and messages, The phone maps your face with over 100 points and prepares a 3D map of your face. However the result isn't really good or cool the result is creepy and will certainly give you the creeps.
4- The Absence of a Dual Camera Setup.
5- Bixby

Don't  get me wrong please, I'm a fan of digital assistant and A I in general, but my problem with Bixby is that  Samsung  hasn’t caught a substantial  in the smart things industry with their smart assistant Bixby,Bixby still doesn't have much to offer, it still doesn't provide any unique service  but still they’ve retained the Bixby-centric button on the side of the Galaxy S9 and fought every attempt from users to assign it to a different purpose. This is a bummer for those that are not all about that Bixby. It's true that this  feature remains entertaining to use, at least, if not mildly helpful, but what we want is more.
6- Super Slow -mo restrictionst
the super slow-mo feature on the camera Samsung’s employed only works in 720p. That’d still be impressive if it weren’t for the fact that it also requires extremely bright lighting to make any sort of usable product.
7- Intelligent Scan isn't good enough
  Samsung’s Intelligent Scan combines iris scanning and face recognition – two features this smartphone line worked with in previous models. Here Samsung’s phone detects the lighting during the scan and picks “the optimal mode of authentication.” This system is good, but it’s not as secure as the fingerprint sensor.
8- The glass back is fingerprint prone

The glass back can  easily looks dirty from the collected fingerprint, it's better to use a case to keep your device looks.
9 -the design
Thd design is something put to personal preference, some people might like S9 design others will hate it, but to me the Samsung s9 design sounded somehow exhausted and recycled , it's just not appealing enough.

13 Things to hate about the iPhone X

The legendary visionary Steve Jobs once said :" I don't do market study,  since customers don't know what they want until I show them", with Steve demise the company Apple company noticeably lost a lot of it's innovative momentum, but with this new iPhone the company seems finally start to regain it's known originality, iPhone X is bold, exciting and kinda of fresh in a sea of countless smartphones, but we are not to praise the company's new flagship, it's quite the opposite , we are here only to prove that the iPhone X is not the demigod among today's smartphones, and now without further ado here is the list about the cons of iPhone X
1-Touch ID
    Although Apple replaced the Touch ID with the more advanced Face ID, thereare those who will take some time to get used to the new feature. To them, the Touch ID was easier to use and removing it from the iPhone X was not a good idea.
2-High Price
   As we all know Apple's products are awefully expensive , but with this new flashship apple break the records by creating the most expensive iPhone ever,Many buyers have complained about the pricing of the iPhone X citing it as overpriced, and the base price is fixed at $1,000. This means only those who can raise that much money will be able afford to get one, leaving some who could get previous models unable to buy their chosen iPhone.
3- Fewer color options
       Unlike its predecessors, the iPhone X comes in fewer colors. It will be available in silver and space gray (black) and many people think Apple should have considered adding more colors for those who don’t like the options offered.Fans of gold and rose gold will be especially disappointed in the lack of color choices with the iPhone X.
4- The Notch
      PopularWhile the iPhone X screen covers the length of the phone, a notch blocks the screen at the top for the front-facing camera. This notch has been criticized by some as interrupting the view of the screen.
5- Learning Curve
     If you’re usedto the gestures you use with your current iPhone and don’t like change, you may be reluctant to learn the new gestures with the iPhone X. Not having a Home button means that the iPhone X will have new commands fortasks such as summoning Siri and switching between apps.
6- No battery percentage
        not even an overlay on the icon, at first glance. Requires swipe down.
7- No physical home button
If you are a fan the physical home such as myself you will be disappointed to find out the IPhone X have no physical home button,  personally I prefer the physical one , I just feel much better.
8- The glass back
The glass back is needed for the wireless charging,the obvious problem here is that the glass back is easier to break than a the metal one, so if you want to use a metal one you will have to remove it every time you want to do a wireless charging. (Still not sure why a metal back can’t wireless charge.
9- Non-optimized apps
Reviewers have come across several apps that aren’t optimized for the iPhone X’s edge-to-edge display and wide 19.5:9 aspect ratio.
10- No Iris scanner
unlike what is found on the Samsung S8 and S8 Plus. For those that cover their facial features, this could prove to be a problem.
11- The iPhone X weigh  6.14 ounces (174 grams) making it both heavier and thicker than the iPhone 7, not heavy enough to give you biceps.
12- iOS 11 does not allow multi-tasking yet, which has been around on Android smartphones for quite some time now.
13- No headphone jack
    yes , the Iphone X doesn't has a headphone jack but instead it has Airpods, the Airpods can be used wirelessly.
