I’m a new dad and I’m looking to play Fortnite on my phone. Love playing it on Pc and was a casual player. I won’t have the time to for a bit to actually sit at a desk and play so this the mobile switch.

Having it on my phone allows me to pick it up and play casually no matter my location. With that said, I’ve watched videos and see many playing with claw or three fingers. Am I destined to fail if I play only with two fingers and will the experience even be enjoyable? I’m not looking to win but I want to feel like I have a chance at least if that makes sense. I don’t plan to practice claw as honestly playing on a mobile is just for that quick itch.

Congrats on being a new dad! When it comes to playing with 2, 3,4, or even 6 fingers as some players do all have advantages and disadvantages. It really comes down to what device you play on and how much space you have to use. Most players who use 3 or more typically play on a tablet, yes some do play on phone.

Really it comes down to your HUD and how you move things around. Just as any good PC gamer knows, keybinds and muscle memory for those binds are important. Setting your HUD up is the same way, once you have a nice 2 finger or even 3 if you want HUD you should be fine and able to play. Now you may get into a fight with a player who is using 4 or 6 fingers and notice building is crazy but that all comes with time.
