What Are Stats in Fortnite?

In Fortnite, stats refer to details about a player’s performance in maps/rounds such as how many opponents they eliminated, their in-game progression, and how often they play and win.

Fortnite’s stats are user-specific and sometimes match-specific, including unique usernames, experience points, active match/game mode, time first seen, total matches played, total wins, total kills, level progression, game favorite status, and more. Some basic examples of Fortnite player stats include:

• victory royales: shows the number of wins a player has had in which they or their team are the final one(s) standing
• kills: total opponents eliminated
• K/D: kills versus matches in which the player’s avatar was eliminated
• WR:, win ratio, total wins versus total matches played
• time played: a view into how often and for how long a player plays Fortnite

How to Check Your Own Stats in Fortnite?

You check your own stats in Fortnite through either the Epic Games website, or the built-in stats area of the game. These are the individual statistics of your performance in matches collected by Fortnite. Statistics tracked include level progression, wins, loses, total playtime, and more.

To check your stats in Fortnite in the game, while selecting to change the map or game mode you are playing in, you can access statistics. However, for the most detailed summary of stats, and to successfully view your stats out of the game on mobile, PC, or Mac, the Epic Games website is required. These are the steps to check your own stats in Fortnite:

1. Log into Fortnite.
2. Select Battle Royale and select Stats under the U menu
3. Select the PC, Mobile, or any other platform where you want to see your stats. Click on the respective tabs.
4. For detailed stats including lifetime stats, log into Fortnite Tracker, enter your Epic Games username, adjust the region if needed, and click on Lookup.

In-Game Stats

Fortnite does not provide in-depth stats within the game itself. More simple stats such as wins, kills, and matches played used to be available on player-specific profiles on the Epic Games website, but these are now disabled. Fortnite does offer its own form of in-game stats in the form of Loot Power. This feature allows players to activate a pop-up that tracks materials, ammo, health, loot, and teammates available on the HUD. Otherwise, players can use a Fortnite API to get stats. A third-party developer will likely have to create the application to retrieve the player’s stats, as the Fortnite API calls are restrictive and prohibit a large number of requests.

External Websites

External websites such as FortniteTracker give comprehensive and detailed statistics on every match for Fortnite. External sites can offer more analysis than just in-match data. For example, Fortnite Stats’ website shows the number of wins, the percentage of games that the player has been in the top 5, top 12, or top 25% as well as the total number of kills.

Some websites require you to log in with your Epic account rather than just your in-game player name. And you can only see the profiles of people who have signed up with the websites as well. But they often add tracking features such as friend tracking which provides information on friends’ stats. The data offered by websites gives players a way to evaluate their own improvement. Comparing weekly or monthly trends can indicate improvement vs stagnation. Search engine results will also display these Fortnite-stats websites which shows how popular they are.

As it provides more data for further analysis, the website FNBR.co is one additional stat tool that players who want to track their performance should consider using. Glancing at game leaders, it shows the amount of kills it took to win a game, the average number of chests and materials picked up per game, and also shows the average kills per win by weapon and season. It has seen a decline in popularity according to Google searches, but has sporadic activity for the sites’ tweets.

Mobile Apps

Mobile Applications are another way to check stats in Fortnite while playing or on the go. It does not seem Epic Games has an official app of their own which includes the Fortnite tracker capabilities. However, several third-party companies maintain apps that allow you to track Fortnite statistics. TRN allows players to see full, up-to-date match histories, leaderboards, and additional statistics through their iOS and Android apps. Fortrace provides a mobile application for Fortnite to check statistics for both PS4 and Xbox. They have both free and paid versions which range in the level of detail that can be provided to users about statistics. Some esports teams also have their own app to track player statistics, so search for your favorite team in the app store as another solution.

How to Check Other Players’ Stats in Fortnite?

You check other players’ stats in Fortnite with third-party websites. Fortnite’s network does not have options to track other players’ statistics. Originally Epic provided cross-platform stats on their website. However, they disabled this feature as reported by ESPN’s Xan Manning due to privacy concerns.

One of the most popular websites for checking Fortnite stats is TRN or Tracker Network. Here is how it works and where you can find it:

1. Go to fortnitetracker.com.
2. Search for the player name you want to view. If you are signed in, you will be prompted to connect your account to the website if you aren’t already linked to your Epic account.
3. After authentication or filling in player name and reference number, the system will display the gameplay data and statistics for that account.
4. Fellow players’ badge information such as kill-to-death ratio and victory percentages and their individual statistics for this category can all be viewed on this page.
5. Selecting the compete tab will show data for recent matches including results, kill counts, match lengths, player percentiles among other data points.

Other statistics and viewing options are included in the Tracker Network. You can then view past performance and charts of performance over time, as well as server and map-based statistics in just a couple of clicks. By changing the URL to different endpoints as seen in this image of the stats page you can pull up leaderboards, as well as other detailed statistics which are extremely useful for researching and expanding your knowledge of the game.

In-Game Stats

Watch your Fortnite statistics as you play the game. Whether you are playing Battle Royale, Creative Mode, or Save the World, you can stay up to date on match progress and in-game stats by pressing (Tab) on PC, (Options) on PS4, (+ or -) on the Nintendo Switch, or the display equivalent on your gaming system.

Fight to the death to produce the best results on Storm Shield Missions in Save the World mode thanks to more basic stats (kills, deaths, and assists) along with in-game stats for weapons you’ve been using like (eliminations, weapons, gadget, and structure damage dealt).

As the game rolls out updates, be on the look out for changes in how they are accessed. For example, patch 15.40 updated the Fortnite in-game stats feature for the second time in Chapter 2: Season 5.

External Websites

The easiest way to check Fortnite match stats without relying on the client and streams is to use one of the various third-party Fortnite tracking websites. Fortnite external websites which check in-game stats include FNPro, Fortnite Tracker, Fortnite Master, and FortniteDB.

If you have your unreal title of the match, you can also use the Fortnite API. By inputting a player’s account name, you can receive a numerical ID. This ID can be entered into a URL for the Fortnite service for an overview of the player’s stats.

It’s easy to type in your name and track total wins, games played, KDR, kill count, and the map the player spends the most time in. FortniteDB provides valuable information on skins, challenges being run in the game, upcoming items, and pre-game preparation suggestions.

Mobile Apps

Fortnite does not have its own mobile app for checking user analytics. However, there are a variety of headings that provide services to check user analytics for video games, including Fortnite. These are some of the most popular for tracking Fortnite statistics, the three leading providers are:

1. FortniteTracker – Along with handling settings, they have a map that shows a real-time count of all the players and the elimination that has taken place so far.
2. Storm Shield One – Focusing on both campaigns save the world and battle royale, they put a heavy emphasis on game news, developer updates, and a wiki with detailed descriptions of in-game elements, weapons, and heroes.
3. FNBR – This is a simpler tracker but allows users to look in-depth at their stats, match history, and season history, and includes a leaderboard for content creator subscribers.

What Do the Stats in Fortnite Mean?

1. Wins

The aggregate number of Battle Royales the player has won.

2. K/D Ratio

The total number of eliminations the player has divided by the total number of deaths the player has accrued. This is a measure of how effective a player is at getting eliminations without dying.

3. Win Percentage

The total number of wins a player has divided by the total number of matches played. This is an important measure that goes beyond K/D ratio and is a pure indicator of the success of a player who often avoids fights.

4. Kills

The total number of eliminations the player has received credit for.

5. Matches Played

The total number of matches the player has entered, regardless of playing dedicated mode or scoring format.

6. Time Played

Informs how much time has been spent in the game in days, hours, and minutes.

7. Kills per Match

The average number of kills a player has per match. This is a good indicator of the aggressiveness of a player. Casual players tend to average 1 kill per game.

8. Win/Loss Ratio

The number of wins divided by the number of losses.

9. Score per Match

The total score points earned or lost during a match. The player’s fortnite score is contribution to the team and playing the game more offensively

10. Top 3/Top 5/Top 10

The total number of times you ended up at a particular position as part of the top 3, top 5 or within top 10.

Wins

You can check Fortnite wins by searching for your Epic Games account on Tracker Network. From there you will see a list of all solo, duo, and squad wins under each specific season, as well as your all-time wins. To do the same on mobile, download the Fortnite Stats Tracker app from the Google Play Store. You will find your total wins by season there.

Kills

Kills refer to the number of times a player has eliminated an opponent by either downing/elimination or sniping the opponent in Fortnite. You can check the number of kills for yourself and the players you are spectating in Fortnite Battle Royale by using your HUD, which provides updates at each positive elimination. You can also check active and previous match statistics in post-match reports. Kills are one of the factors that determine the Fortnite combat score. Combat score is the total of player’s kill points in a match. Zone Score, Placement Points, and Survival Score are other statistics that determine the combat score, which influences final rankings and the amount of XP a player will get. While the kill count of other players is not visible in the HUD during the match, post-match reports can give you everyone’s kill count for the match.

K/D Ratio

The K/D ratio in Fortnite refers to how many kills you have accumulated over your total career against deaths (Kills/Deaths). To determine the total number of kills you have gathered, multiply your total wins by nine and hit up the Fortnitetracker.com website or switch to the Profile tab in your game to determine your total death count. The divide is utilized to convert the deaths into the K/D ratio.

Win Percentage

Win percentage reflects the number of wins you get relative to the number of games you play. Beating opponents for a more kill-based victory can thus lower the win percentage while preserving an internal ranking known as a skill-based match (SBM) %.

Win percentage is easily calculated by dividing the number of wins a player has by the total number of games they played and then multiplying by 100 percent. Type !lifetime 10365 in nightbot to find your solo or other specific win percentage, or click output parameters to find this next to your win count on Fortnite-tracker.com. Go to view stats -> select lifetime and wins only.

Matches Played

Matches played are one of fortnite’s stats on the scoreboard. Your most recent matches played can be viewed while you are in the pre-match lobby. Aclam Inc. lauched an app for the days when fortnite had the founder’s edition. As per ForniteTracker, The number of matches played is always the first score on the host’s card that’s under his name, with the number of wins followed by the number of matches then finally number of kills.

Time Played

Time played is not a metric available in game, but FortniteBomber.com provides time played as well as FortniteTracker.com. Fortnite on average takes 22 days worth of play time to win the first game. According to howlongtobeat.com, the average Solo games lasts 19.5 minutes, the average Duos game lasts 21 minutes, and the average Squad game lasts 23 minutes. To get an average lifetime time played stat (like the one available from Steam), you would have to sum the average finished game durations of Solo, Duos, and Squads games that FortniteBomber provides and multiply by that player’s total matches played. 41822 minutes total match duration divided by the average length of a finished Solo match of 19.5 minutes is 2148 Solo games for an average time of duation of solo games alone. For the K/D and winrate as provided per match averages from FortniteBomber, if you multiply that by the average finished game durations of each mode, you get the average statistics by total match time.

How to Improve Your Stats in Fortnite?

You can improve your stats in Fortnite by carefully analyzing your behavior using the Fortnite API. See how your new strategies impact your stats. Were you successful at all? Was the drop in your K/D Ratio caused by new aggressive strategies more balanced by an increasing Top 25 Rate? What can you recalibrate so you don’t lose out on your current strengths?

Equally important is tracking your behaviors in Fortnite. Utilize the API to track your stats and customize your gameplay as per this early knowledge. If you saw that the amount of ammo is a reason you are dying in Fortnite, then you must act accordingly. You need to source more ammo while looting. The same goes with weapons. By engaging in more gunplay, you improve your skills and automatically up your stats particularly when you are harder to kill and outlast the 25 mark.

Practice

Playing the game of Fortnite is the best way to learn how the stats influence gameplay. Different games, playmodes, regions, and devices will give you unique stats, and applying them insightfully will require some time and effort. Experimenting with different items, weapons, and locations every time you play, will help you to better understand and apply these stats in a game.

The most effective tactics aside from simply playing the game include using replays to analyze statistics and patterns from your matches and taking time to utilize the statistics tool on the Fortnite website.

Study Strategies and Techniques

Another key piece of Fortnite stats is the analysis of this evidence that can help players understand better strategies and techniques they can apply to their game. Fortnite statistics can reveal trends in winning players’ and popular streamers’ playstyles and specific strategies that could be incorporated. This can vary from break building strategies and double shotgun use to the selection of points of interest for looting and resource-farming.

An advance monthly Twitter reporting tool from Hootsuite analyzes everything from the best time of day to tweet to which type of messaging is likely to drive the most engagement. Measuring weapons performance is something that can also be learned from statistics. For example, after v4.3 of Fortnite, players analyzed sniper rifles and found that it was the hand cannon six-shooter and Flintlock pistol were the best long-distance weapons substantiated by the data as they were yielding over 1,000 damages with headshots. New players can develop an edge over the competition by parsing regularly released Epic Game patch and balance updates and tracking their initial assumptions to learn from their mistakes.

Play With Skilled Players

While the popular Fortnite adage “Play within yourself” is mostly associated with the mental side of things by reminding players not to get too frustrated when killed, it can also extend to the competitive side of the game. If the ultimate goal is to improve record stats, playing with skilled players can be beneficial. Strong players can enhance development by teaching strategies for how to succeed on the Battle Royale island.

Based on your stats and experience level, skilled players might outgun you. Focus less on individual success initially to learn from others, and results will improve as you develop gaming with others. Even after progress is demonstrated, it is important to continue learning from experienced players; making this an on and off the island approach from which everyone improves.

Analyze Your Mistakes

On the official Fortnite platform, the only way to analyze your mistakes is to make a rough analysis of your past games based on your performance and outcome statistics. To do this, go to your profile, under the Stats menu tabs.

However, here you can only see the number of opponents killed and the other miscellaneous stats.

Third-party statistical analysis websites such as Fortnite Tracker and Fortnite Scout will give a very detailed breakdown for hundreds of stats, depending on the Premium and Free features of each site.

Of course, the actual location where you have made the mistakes depends on your in-game decision-making. For instance, you may be diving into risky locations or you have perhaps underestimated opponents. So analysis to strictly minimize mistakes is not going to tell you too much.

Stay Calm and Focused

At the end of the match, if you are updating your total statistics, you could succumb to a gust of wind of the stats screen and accidentally report incorrect inaccurate statistics. This is why it is important to remain calm and to not panic even if you do flub your stats that time. You have to stay cool and in the zone. Do not panic. Ugh, for many people, losing track of their stats can be as bad as dying in a game, and I could see why that might be the case with all the work that can go into this system.

Though perhaps not statistically supported at this time, the Fortnite tracking site FNMaster says, “keeping your focus on the end-goal rather than the individual statistics game-by-game is an important process. The good, the bad, the misleading, it all must be taken in stride for statistically sound analysis.” After all, do not let stats interfere with your main goal which is to get better and have fun.

What Are Some Common Mistakes When Checking Stats in Fortnite?

Some common mistakes people make when checking their Fortnite stats are the following:

1. Using non-optimized soap designed websites which won’t load or provide slow navigation.
2. Checking too frequently. Focus on playing instead of obsessing over stats. You won’t see major improvements on a day-to-day basis.
3. Reading too much into stats. Stats often don’t provide enough context to necessarily know what is happening to affect them.
4. Not understanding the stats you’re reading.
5. Not taking time to reset stats and understand the background.

Conclusion

You can measure and check Fortnite stats by logging into your Fortnite account on the official Epic Games website and going to the My Account tab then proceed to Game Services and click the Fortnite tile to get to your account stats.

Your account overview will show you basic stats while your input and platform settings give data there. If you use Fortnite.gg you can get even more detailed stats both specific to individual matches and as an overall tally of your account.

The statistics that Fortnite measures include not just gameplay scores, damages, kills, deaths, survival time and accuracy, but also features unique to other in-game customizable features like dances, sprays, wallpaper emotes, or other unique functions in the game exclusive to Fortnite.
