The 4 Types of Fortnite Players This Season (And How to Counter Them)

Fortnite’s Super season is all about superpowers, mobility, and scan tech—and each loadout now acts as a playstyle flag. Spot the gear, lock the role, win the fight.


1. 🌀 Hover‑Dash Assassin

Gear: Myst Gauntlets (or Ascended Myst), Hyperburst Pistol or SMG
Behavior:

  • Constantly air-dashing, hovering into sightlines, unleashing bursts from above, then fading away.
  • Uses Myst Gauntlet’s cone energy at close range.
    Counters:
  • Stay grounded and react with vertical aim.
  • Toss a Shield Bubble or equip Bass Boost to disrupt their hover.
  • Equip Tracking Visor to preempt their dive—but time your shots carefully.
    Suggested Loadout: Deadeye DMR + Shield Bubble + Tracking Visor

2. 🎯 High‑Ground Sniper

Gear: Deadeye DMR or Spire Rifle, optional Shield Bubble or Bass Boost
Behavior:

  • Controls high elevation, patiently isolating enemies with scoped shots.
  • Typically passive until someone rotates in sightline.
    Counters:
  • Use Bass Boost to launch at their height and force a scramble.
  • Rotate unpredictably below their perch.
  • Use Tracking Visor to flush them out before committing.
    Suggested Loadout: Bass Boost + Spire Rifle + Shield Bubble

3. 🧠 Scanner Strategist

Gear: Tracking Visor, Fury AR or Veiled Precision SMG, healing/items
Behavior:

  • Scouts ahead, pings enemy positions, and chooses when to engage.
  • Avoids blind fights and plays around intel.
    Counters:
  • Once you’re pinged, rotate before they commit.
  • Use mobility tools like Bass Boost to mess with their setup.
  • Pop in unexpectedly to break their rhythm.
    Suggested Loadout: Bass Boost + Shotgun + Shield Bubble

4. 🐾 Krypto Chaos Duo

Gear: Krypto Treat, Bass Boost, Killswitch Revolvers or Yoink Shotgun
Behavior:

  • Throws down Krypto treat, unleashing the dog to disrupt enemies.
  • Dives in aggressively, thrives on close-range chaos.
    Counters:
  • Hear the bark? Dodge immediately.
  • Focus fire one target—once Krypto’s dealt with, they’re vulnerable.
  • Keep distance and pick them off before dive begins.
    Suggested Loadout: Shield Bubble + Deadeye DMR

Final Take

This season isn’t just about aiming and building. It’s about reading tools, responding to intent, and outthinking your opponent. Recognizing what players want to do—based solely on gear—lets you act before they make the first move.

“Adapt faster than they execute. That’s the Super season advantage.”
