How to Play Impostors Mode in Fortnite – review Addiction

How to launch “Impostors”

1. Start the game and select the “Battle Royale” mode.

2. Click on the change game mode button, which is located in the lower right side of the screen.
3. Select “Impostors”.
4. Choose the type of game – “Open” or “Private”.

5. Ready! You can fly into the game.

If you’ve played Among Us or a similar game before, you’ll get the hang of it pretty quickly. If not, then we recommend that you still familiarize yourself with the basics. In the end, the mode does not offer any tutorial, and by choosing a game with randomness, you risk not understanding anything and immediately be thrown overboard due to suspicious behavior (this is, in fact, what happened to the author of this guide).

How and why to complete tasks

Regardless of who you play as, missions are a key aspect of the new mode. They can be found on the minimap in the lower right corner of the screen, they are marked with a yellow exclamation mark enclosed in a diamond.

When you complete a mission, you cannot do anything else, which makes you an easy target for the Pretender, so be careful. If you decide not to do anything, then your fellow Agents will kick you out, considering you an enemy. So when playing as the Pretender, do not forget to create the illusion of vigorous activity.

In addition, Impostors can disable tasks. Then you have to run to the switches marked on the map in order to return everything to its place.

How to play as an Agent

You have two ways to win a match.

The first one is simple quickly complete tasks and be on the alert… Yes, of course, Impostors can throw Agents they dislike overboard and kill them, but the essence of this tactic is that as soon as all tasks are completed, your team automatically wins (even if both “imposters” are alive).

The second way involves searching and vote for Impostors, and here everything is a little more complicated. Players can summon others for discussion if they think they’ve discovered an enemy. This can be done using a special terminal in the center of the map or when a killed player is found.

If you are not playing with friends and without Discord, then you will have to discuss everything using your social circle. It allows you to blame, justify, and defend others. If you are careful enough and convince the team not to “fight in the wrong direction,” then victory is assured.

How to play the Pretender

As in the classic “Mafia”, playing as a villain is much more fun. In addition, in Fortnite, too, there is only one way to defeat the opposing side in such a role – to kill all the “peaceful” without being declassified. A total of 10 players in the team will have two Impostors, which will allow you to support each other (or treacherously betray).

In addition, the Pretenders have several special abilities that will allow them to hide from justice:

1. Disabling tasks – temporarily stops progress on all assignments.
2. Teleport players – moves everyone (both Impostors and Agents) to other places.
3. Banana Party – for a short period of time, all players look the same.

Some more tips

1. Don’t overuse the discussion function… Throw overboard a player you are sure of. After all, the Pretenders may well be manipulating you. In addition, for example, if you saw an enemy in a Banana suit get rid of a teammate, do not rush to press the button. Follow him until the disguise disappears – then you don’t have to vote at random or ask who was where.
2. During discussions express your suspicions immediately, don’t wait for the rest. This way you will be able to conduct discussions as needed (as much as possible with such a communication system).
3. Is always pay attention to who you are with and where you have been… This will help you avoid confusing you.
4. If you are not good at hearing, turn on display of sound effects… This will help you avoid being caught red-handed when playing as the Pretender. Well, this is also useful for the Agent, because then it will not be possible to take him by surprise during the execution of the order.

How to earn XP in Impostors

Despite the fact that this is a special mode, here you can also earn points for pumping the Battle Pass. Even a simple completion of the game will already give you a small amount of experience, but there are also special tasks for which you can get an add-on. For example:

• Complete tasks as an Agent – 4500 XP;
• Complete the match – 3000 XP;
• Win a match – 3000 XP;
• Prevent players in the role of the Pretender – 3000 XP;
• Kill the Agent as the Pretender – 4000 XP.

So do not rush to pour if you are killed. Better go make some tea and make sandwiches. Or share your strategy for the new mode with us in the comments!
