Tips for Customization
In order to enable quick structures, many players prefer a higher sensitivity for building. Deadzone: Adjusting this can help with stick drift or excessively sensitive movement. Crosshair Customization: When playing on PC, you can customize your crosshair so it is easier to see or style. Save Presets: For different scenarios or characters, you can set up a different control preset on your PC.
Note: Remember, customization in Fortnite is about finding what feels right for you. Experiment with different settings, especially in Creative Mode or Playground, where you can test builds and aim without the pressure of combat. Your settings might evolve as you get more comfortable with the game's mechanics or as you switch between different playstyles like aggressive building or sniper-focused gameplay. |
