And clear.

Fortnite is all about how fast you can build and edit, everything is keybinds and muscle memory. He's pretty good from what I can see.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

What do you mean, build and edit and keybinds? What's going on that I'm not seeing? It looks like a simple first person shooter game. I assume there's a lot more to it.

Short answer: Yes, he's very good. And from the looks of it, he's winning some money in tournaments. Though he might find it tough to make money in content creation using music that is going to result in a DMCA claim every time he publishes.

Fortnite is a game that is predicated on the tactical use of building various structures using the in-game mechanics. There are several basic structures a player can build (a wall, floor and ceiling 1X1 tiles, as well as a leaning tile and I believe a pyramid-like roof tile) and combine to make more complex structures. The game also has the ability to "edit" these built structures on the fly, so you can say, build a wall tile, edit it to put a window in it, then edit the window back out and it becomes a wall again. Players who play the game at a high level have gotten very good at building structures quickly, to use as cover from gunfire, structures used to traverse the map, or to gain height advantage over an enemy during a fight. Not only that, the really high-level players can build-edit-re-edit very quickly, so the previously mentioned wall-into-a-window becomes a wall turning into a wall with a window and a gunshot coming out of it, then turning back into a wall again before the enemy has time to react.

Your friend's kid seems pretty adept at this kind of thing, which is made even more impressive by the fact that he appears to be playing on a handheld controller, rather than a mouse and keyboard setup, the latter putting much more inputs (like keyboard buttons bound to build and edit structures) closer to the player.

Well if you play with a keyboard ( rather than a controller like XBox or PS) , you “ bind” the game functions to the different letters or numbers on the keyboard . In Fortnite , you can “ build” structures from materials you harvest in the game to shelter you from people shooting at you . You “ bind” your build functions ( walls, ceilings, floors,) to the keys. You can edit the structures you build ( make a window ) to escape from what you build while the enemy is trying to break in and perhaps outflank them . The faster and better you get at doing that the better you’ll fare in the game .
Edit : what JLN said
