Once you get good, you'll be building on the offensive. You can build walls to block incoming enemy fire, or build cover to take out opponents. It's especially important as a defensive mechanic.

Learn how to build as soon as possible.

Well, mostly you should just download and have fun and not worry too much about winning. Don't trust anyone giving away free V-Bucks except for Epic Games. V-Bucks are the premium currency in Fortnite. You can buy these with real money and then spend them on in-game cosmetic items like special skins and other cosmetics. Of course, you can play without the Battle Pass, but I think it makes the game a lot more fun and it's pretty affordable, all things considered. It adds a fun layer of play that goes beyond just playing to win and you end up with a few new skins each season, plus new emotes, sprays and so forth. You unlock these cosmetics by playing, leveling up and completing weekly challenges. The Battle Pass costs $10 and gives player access to 100 Tiers of cosmetic rewards. While Fortnite is free-to-play, Epic runs 10-week seasons (we're on Season 4 at the moment) for Battle Pass holders.

If you're new to Fortnite you may not be familiar with the Battle Pass.
