How to track Fortnite stats

By

Fortnite is a complex beast, with lots of different mechanics, cosmetics, and other items to keep track of throughout any given season. Despite its complexities, the game doesn't do the best job of tracking stats and pretty much only offers information about your wins. This means you'll have to visit third-party websites to gain access to stats such as kill-death ratio and other more nuanced info. While it's not as straightforward as you'd expect, there are methods to getting your hands on detailed stats. Here's how to track your Fortnite stats.

What You Need

For most people, the in-game stats will suffice. But if you’re among the growing group of players who like to track their progress via in-depth metrics, Fortnite leaves a lot to be desired. Thankfully, there are several third-party websites that allow you to access an assortment of stats related to your performance. Whether you’re looking to track your kill/death ratio, improve your win percentage, or just see how many kills you average per match, these websites let you do it all. And if you don't like the numbers you see, consider checking out our guide to the best weapons in Fortnite, along with some tips for beginners – which should help improve your performance.

Check your stats in Fortnite

If you don’t want to mess around with third-party software, you can always view some basic Fortnite stats while logged into the game. Here's what you need to do:

Step 1: Navigate to the Career tab while in the main menu.

Step 2: Select Profile to pull up the following stats across Solos, Duos, and Squads, along with LTMs:

  • Wins
  • Top 10 finishes
  • Top 25 finishes
  • Eliminations
  • Matches played

It’s not much, but you’ll at least be able to track all your precious Victory Royales in one convenient location.

Use third-party websites

If you find the stats offered in-game by Fortnite to be underwhelming, you’re not alone. In fact, so many people wanted a more-detailed profile of their abilities that several websites now offer this data for free. Some sites allow users to subscribe to a premium package for more numbers, but even as a complementary service, they are head and shoulders above Epic’s first-party offerings. They all work the same way — just select your game system and enter your Epic ID to search the database for your profile. Here are a few of the best stat-tracking websites:

  • Fortnite Tracker: This service offers its own rating system, giving users a tangible progression system. It’s not perfect, but it’s certainly better than anything currently in Fortnite.
  • Fortnite Stats: This one doesn’t offer as many features as others on the list, but it does offer all your basic stats — and features a comprehensive leaderboard.
  • Fortnite Scout: The best feature on this site is the graph that tracks your kill/death ratio and average win rate over the past few months. It’s a great way to quickly see if you’re improving without getting too deep into all the other statistics.

We recommend browsing each of the above and determining which one you like the most. They all feature unique themes and layouts, and finding the one that works best for you is up to personal preference. The exact statistics displayed vary slightly between the services, but you’ll typically see the following information on all the sites:

  • Total wins
  • Total kills
  • Matches played
  • Total score
  • Average win rate
  • Kills per match
  • Kills per minute
  • Kills per death (K/D)
  • Score per match
  • Average match time
  • Total time played

Stats you should focus on

Now that you have direct access to dozens of stats, here are the ones you should focus on improving:

  • Average win rate: At the end of the day, the only thing that matters in Fortnite is pulling off a Victory Royale. Increasing your average win rate isn’t something that will happen overnight, and it is heavily dependent on the statistics mentioned below.
  • Kill/death ratio: While it’s certainly possible to win a round of Fortnite with a single kill, your odds of winning increase significantly if you have a solid K/D ratio. In essence, a good ratio indicates that you can survive firefights. Survive enough battles, and you’ll be one of the last people standing every round. While it’s not a perfect correlation, it never hurts to have a high K/D and to know how to use a powerful weapon.
  • Average match time: The longer you are in a match, the more likely you are to win. It’s that simple. Increasing this statistic typically means you know when it’s appropriate to hide — and when it’s necessary to come out guns blazing. As your average match time increases, you’ll probably notice that you start placing higher every round. Outlasting the competition is the name of the game, and the longer it takes for you to get eliminated, the better.
  • Score per match: This stat is a combination of different in-game actions, but mostly boils down to how many kills you get in a match and how well you place each round. Increasing this stat is directly tied to your K/D and average match time, so it’s a fun one to keep track of. Whether you like to sneak around and outlast your foes or take out as many as you can with a minigun, your score per match tracks it all.

Don’t stress about stats

While it’s fun to check your statistics occasionally, it’s not a great idea to obsess over them. There’s a reason Fortnite doesn’t include most of them: They don’t really matter. Unlike many other competitive shooters, battle royales make it difficult to track stats and monitor player progression. With 100 combatants running around a massive island, there are so many extra variables that typically aren’t seen in your average team-based shooter, and it becomes a bit messy trying to consistently rate players.

And — with the introduction of skill-based matchmaking — comparing your stats to other players is no longer a surefire way to determine who is better. Both players might have a kill/death ratio of 6.0, but one person might be playing against bots on their Nintendo Switch, while the other is facing off against professionals on PC. Stats are a good way to help track your personal progression, but make sure to take them with a grain of salt.

The player asking to respec their skills in Baldur's Gate 3.

Despite your best intentions when starting out in Baldur's Gate 3, even if you're following a guide, you might realize early on that the class or race you picked just isn't what you thought it would be. This is a long game – potentially hundreds of hours long – so having a character you enjoy playing is very important since you'll be spending so much time with them. But are you forced to restart if you changed your mind a few hours in? Thankfully Larian has offered you a way to respec your character, but it isn't in any menu. In fact, you can easily miss it, so here's how you can unlock the ability to respec your character in Baldur's Gate 3.

Baldurs Gate 3

Some RPGs with multiple races don't limit you too much depending on which you choose to play, but most RPGs also don't have 11 choices as Baldur's Gate 3 does. Your race will obviously be a massive cosmetic choice, with your choices ranging from normal Humans to scaly Dragonborn and stout Dwarfs, but the effects of this choice will ripple throughout your playthrough. Your race can have a huge impact on the various stories in Baldur's Gate 3 since some characters will react to your race differently, but you'll never know how that will play out until you come across them. What we can help you with when creating your character is selecting the best race to pair with your class in Baldur's Gate 3.
Elf

The Elf is typically seen as a ranger or a more dexterous race, which holds true for Baldur's Gate 3. They come with two extra stats in Dex and are proficient with both long and shortwords, as well as long and shortbows. They also have two important traits, the first being Darkvision which lets you see up to 12 meters in the dark. The second is Fey Ancestry which gives them a bonus to saving throws when they are being charmed, plus can't be put to sleep using magic. This is a great race to pair with a Ranger or Rogue class.

The world of Dungeons & Dragons, which is of course where Baldur's Gate 3 comes from, is all about choice and crafting your own story through the world. Baldur's Gate 3 promises plenty of ways to alter the story, including a reported 1,700 different ending permutations. But the first and most important decision you make will be which class your main character is. Along with your race, your class is what will define how your character plays, including what roles they are best suited for and what abilities they can learn in and out of combat. With 12 to pick from at the start, plus 48 total subclasses within those main 12, it can feel like an overwhelming choice to make so early. To make things easier, we'll break down all the classes in Baldur's Gate 3 to help you decide which one to pick.

Barbarian

The Barbarian is likely the easiest class to wrap your head around just based on the name. This class focuses primarily on the Strength stat and is all about melee damage. They are proficient with light and medium armor, shields, simple and martial weapons, plus get the unique Rage class action. When you enter the Rage state, you deal more damage and can survive fatal wounds. Their saving throws are linked to the Strength and Constitution stats.
