Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 introduces many fun new missions and objectives for players to complete, with exciting new weapons, items, and skins waiting to reward those who make it to the end.
However, if you keep getting knocked out of Battle Royals as soon as they start, it may be time to change some things.
