We all want to line up and land headshots, but sometimes this is not always ideal. Everytime you fire your weapon, the bloom of the crosshair will expand so shoot in controlled bursts rather than holding down fire. Jumping makes the crosshair larger and harder to hit your enemies, while standing still and aiming in shrinks the crosshair considerably. Understanding that the size of your crosshair changes depending on what you're doing is vital during combat. Bullets fired from your weapon can land anywhere within the inside circle of your crosshair. When using a medium range weapon like the assault rifle, crouch to steady your own movement and focus in on your target.īloom is a very real mechanic in Fortnite combat.
Jumping around and making yourself a moving target makes it harder for an enemy to land a shot, but it also greatly limits your own aim.
