What is a Right Hand Peek in Fortnite

Exercise: Right-Hand Peek Drill

Exercise Description

In this exercise, players will develop the habit of using right-hand peeks to safely engage opponents during fights. Since Fortnite is a third-person shooter, we can use the camera angle to our advantage by positioning ourselves in a way that exposes less of our body while still being able to land clean shots. Mastering this mechanic is key to surviving close-range encounters and outplaying opponents in box fights and build battles.

Step-by-Step

1. Load into Coach Philip's Practice Map (Code: 1610-6883-6388) and go into Peek Practice.
2. Practice right-side edits on a wall—such as a right window or top-right corner—and shoot at a target while staying behind cover.
3. Place a wall and edit a window to your right, you should not be visible from the other side, then peek to the right and shoot, afterwards go left again.
4. Set up 1v1 situations or box fights where you're only allowed to take shots from right-hand angles.
5. Focus on consistency and awareness—use both building and natural cover to create right-hand peek opportunities.

Skill Focus

This drill trains players to create safer angles during combat using the game's third-person camera. By building the habit of right-hand peeking, you reduce your risk while increasing your chances of winning close-range engagements.

Why Right-Hand Peeks Are Powerful

When you peek from the right side of an object:

• You can see your opponent before they see you
• You expose less of your body while having full vision
• You can take shots while minimizing your vulnerability
• Your opponent needs to expose more of their body to shoot back

Remember that consistently using right-hand peeks can be the difference between winning and losing close-range fights. Make this technique a core part of your combat strategy.
