Although there are a lot of moving pieces in Fortnite, and dozens of statistics that can be tracked, the game doesn’t do a very good job of monitoring player progress. Rather than record a wide range of info — such as kill/death ratio, damage done per round, and so on — you’re limited to simply looking at your Victory Royales and total games played.
For most people, that 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.
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:
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:
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:
Stats you should focus on
Now that you have direct access to dozens of stats, here are the ones you should focus on improving:
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.
