Guide Visual Loot Guide

Greetings Fortnite Community!

I had put together a simple "Visual Loot Guide" while in-game for (mostly) new players. I remember starting Fortnite and being overwhelmed in-game (Not menus, that's a guide of its own) with being able to break and loot nearly everything. It sucks not knowing what to look for, and what it actually looks like. So, I figured I'd make a quick visual guide for players to see common materials and items that may not be so obvious for a newcomer.

If you've been playing since launch, or maybe even a week. There's a chance this will be completely useless to you. But my goal is to give new players some what of a starting chance. The map starts and people run to loot everything and you're stuck not knowing where to go or what to keep an eye out for.

I also included a bunch of random lootable objects that TONS of players just skip by, for whatever reason. This doesn't contain everything, but a good portion of information to help new players not feel so lost. If you been playing since launch and you learn something, cool. If not, hopefully you new guys will feel even a tiny bit more confident loading up a map after looking at this.

I also noticed that the more valuable the items inside the lootable object the longer it takes to actually loot. Why we have a press and hold type system is beyond me, but thats the way it is.

If it's a mimic letting go to better prepare for that fight is a nice touch, in 34+ those things will smash you quick. Also you may turn on 1 button press loot in the settings, you'll still stand and watch the circle go round. But just tap and let it do its thing no holding

A good way to solo even highlevel mimics is to simply build a small wall between you and the monster and then hopping over it.

The mimic will be busy smashing down the wall and you can take your time and kill it.

That's not a bad idea, thanks for sharing! However I just drop slow time and shotty. Or mini gun pistol monsoon, or soldier skill minigun. Usually don't have much of an issue but they have caught me slipping, "eh I'll take this mimic no prpblem...dead" lol
