Think Like a Bush
To be a bush, one needs to think like a bush. Bushes are everywhere so be obvious. You won't find a bush indoors hiding in the shadows. Bushes don't move so when you're a bush you shouldn't move either. And for sake of battle royale, make sure you're in a crouched position as bushes don't have legs.

Don’t Shoot from Long Distances
Trust us, you don’t want to shoot from long distances. The further away you are from your target, the easier it is for you to miss. If you miss, your cover is blown and now the enemy knows where you are. It’s better to sneak up on someone and shoot them from close range. That way you won’t miss and you’ll have one less opponent to think about.

Stay Away From Busy Places
Fortnite beginners always make the mistake of heading straight for the main city with a lot of structures. Yes there might be loot therre, but don't be greedy. Remember, if you are doing this, than so are the majority of the other players.
Heading to a populated area will increase the odds of you getting killed at the start. Loot the small structures at the sides of the map instead. It's safe and you can find some great gear there too. Once you have the proper gear, head into the fight.

Land Quickly
Once you’ve chosen a place to land you’ll want to dive bomb and get to the grand as quick as you can. This will improve your chances of getting to loot before anyone else. You’ll have a head start on building too, which will allow you to get the jump on any enemies who happen to wander into your sites.
