This creates an unavoidable 33.3ms delay (1000ms \u00f7 30 = 33.3ms) on top of your network ping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare this to competitive shooters like Valorant (128Hz) or CS2 (128Hz), and you understand why Fortnite feels &#8220;heavier&#8221; even with good ping. A player with 20ms ping in Fortnite actually experiences 53ms of total delay, while the same ping in Valorant results in just 28ms total delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why doesn&#8217;t Epic just increase the tick rate? <strong>Building.<\/strong> Processing 100 players creating and destroying thousands of structures would &#8220;literally melt servers&#8221; at higher tick rates.

Your ISP likely has poor routing to Fortnite&#8217;s AWS servers, sending your data on an inefficient path. Run a traceroute to identify where the delay occurs.
