Why is my aim so bad in Fortnite?

Bad aim in Fortnite often stems from poor settings (sensitivity, aim assist), lack of focus (lazy aim, looking at the crosshair), inconsistent mechanics (wrist tension, bad posture), or needing more practice with crosshair placement, but relaxing, leading shots, and adjusting hardware can also make a huge difference.
