Fortnite on mobile brings everything you love about the game onto your favorite on-the-go device. Join and chat with your friends -- regardless of what platform they’re on -- and make progress on your Battle Pass the same way you would on a PC or console!

But how do you make the move from using a keyboard/mouse or controller setup to playing on a touch screen? We’ve got you covered with some tips on tapping. 

Fortnite Mobile Firing Modes

When you start up Fornite on mobile, the first choice you will make is how you want to fire your weapon. On mobile, Fortnite offers three ways to fire your weapon: Auto Fire, Tap Anywhere, or Dedicated Button. 

Tip: Try Auto Fire First

The Auto Fire selection is recommended for anyone that’s new to Fortnite on mobile. Auto Fire allows the player to look at a target and have the selected weapon fire.

Despite his streaming success, Deadpool’s outbursts have come back to bite him, as the pipe damage from throwing his controllers has flooded his room into a swimming pool. However, that’s not stopping him from having a good time. Join Deadpool’s Yacht Party and unlock the Maskless style of the Deadpool Outfit — available now!

Deadpool Without a Mask Outfit in Fortnite

To get this style, you gotta help Deadpool with another small request. In his first Week 8 Challenge, find his pool floaty so he can live with the flood until The Agency takes care of it. And t...
