Ninja breaks down why he\u2019s radically changed his strategy for Fortnite Season 9 Ninja, Twitch \/ Epic GamesFortnite Battle Royale\u2018s Season 9 has forced him to change his strategy, explaining some of his new techniques during a Week 7 Fortnite World Cup qualifying match. The popular Twitch streamer, who has a huge following of over 14 million on the platform, was accused of hiding from opponents by some members of his chat during the May 26 broadcast. Regular viewers of his will know that he has always enjoyed the buzz of constant offense, going toe-to-toe with others in gunfights, and pushing other teams, but it looks as if Ninja has started to adapt his gameplay in order to give him a better chance of handling the current meta. \u201cIt\u2019s not that I run from everybody,\u201d Ninja explained, camped out in a building, editing windows to spy on enemies either side of him. \u201cIt\u2019s that, if you don\u2019t die in a fight, you make it to the late game where you get nine placement points and potential points if you win the game, which you don\u2019t get if somebody kills you or if you get third partied.\u201d Good builders have been provided with some counterplay in the form of the Drum Gun, which \u2013 despite efforts from Epic Games to nerf the weapon with the v9.01 update \u2013 still has a particularly useful high rate of fire to tear down structures. Perhaps that could be one reason why a more careful approach has been adopted by the streamer. The game has undoubtedly thrown more obstacles in the way of players looking to consistently make it to the latter stages of matches, and the streamer has been using this approach \u2013 specifically \u2013 to rack up more points in the Fortnite World Cup Online Open. He has been unable to qualify for the Fortnite World Cup though, even with a switch to a more measured approach. Fans of his will be hoping that he can qualify in Week 8\u2019s Online Open, which will run between June 1-2. Whether or not he will continue to be a more measured player as he tries to qualify next time around remains to be seen, but the meta at the time will probably have a huge influence on that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
