How to headshot players from above easily in Fortnite

Completing the “Headshot players from above” weekly quest in Fortnite will automatically make you think of locations with a lot of verticality. Locations like Seaport City, Warrior’s Watch, and Canyon Crossing have a lot of buildings you can perch on top of and rain fire onto those below you. However, there is a much simpler way to complete the quest that doesn’t evolve scaling up buildings or mountains.

Here’s the fastest way to complete the “Headshot players from above” weekly quest in Fortnite.

Best way to headshot players from above in Fortnite

Headshotting players from above in Fortnite can be quite tricky as you have to account for distance, movement, and, frankly, your own aim. However, there is a way can get up close and personal and forget about your accuracy.

The quest only says that you have to be above your opposing player; there is nothing about how much higher above them you have to be, nor is there a distance requirement. After all, this isn’t the “damage opponents from one story above or higher” quests that you see in the game from time to time — it’s thankfully much more simple than that.

To easily headshot players from above, run and jump toward your opponents. It’s much easier to shoot your opponent when they’re at a closer distance to you. Try to pick up a weapon with a fast fire rate and spray-and-pray while you’re jumping. Depending on how accurate your aim is (and how good your opponents are), you can complete the quest fairly quickly with this method.

If you’re looking for a more standard approach where you can shoot at your opponents from a distance — especially if you want to better guarantee a headshot — we recommend heading to Seaport City, Warrior’s Watch, and Canyon Crossing in Chapter 6 Season 1. At these locations, there are varying heights and lots of loot, and a decent amount of players tend to land at them.

Finally, while the Godzilla event is still occurring, you can take advantage of other players attempting to hunt down the deadly kaiju and shoot them from above.
