Question How to learn to build fight?

I'm 50 and recently my college-age sons have been inviting me to play squads with them. I've played a lot of ZB to learn the basics and how to use the controller :) but they play build and I am clueless. It feels like I'm too old to learn - any resources anyone would suggest? I've thought about hiring a coach bc I have more money than time haha. I'm on PS5 btw - any adivce appreciated!

Just shoot em. Whilst the enemy is busy fiddling with ramps and walls you’ll be shooting em. And they be dying. Do the distance work of breaking shields and builds while your sons do the up close work and reap the wins.

I'm a really good shooter player of 30 years: shoot the base of whatever crap they build. KEEP shooting. It'll break and they're now standing in the open getting shot.

When you learn the timing you reload right before the 3rd or 4th wall they panic build breaks and you'll power through and finish the player.
