Console Controls (PlayStation, Xbox):
Fortnite offers different preset controller configurations, including Old School, Quick Builder, Combat Pro, and Builder Pro. Here are the highlights:
Builder Pro (Recommended for building):
•Building Controls:
•Stair Piece: L2/LT
•Wall Piece: R2/RT
•Roof Piece: L1/LB
•Floor Piece: R1/RB
Combat Controls:
•ADS: L2/LT
•Attack: R2/RT
•Previous/Next Weapon: L1/LB, R1/RB
•Edit: L3/LS
•Crouch: R3/RS
Combat Pro (Recommended for aggressive play):
•Similar layout but with changes to prioritize combat over building.
Customizing your controller setup can significantly enhance your gameplay, with many players opting for the Builder Pro setup due to its efficiency in building. For console players, the sensitivity settings are crucial, with suggested values for look sensitivity around 4 to 6, and aim sensitivity slightly lower for precision.
Nintendo Switch Controls:
Similar to PlayStation and Xbox but with considerations for the Joy-Con's smaller form factor:
•Use of motion controls can aid in aiming.
•Four control schemes similar to other consoles: Combat Pro, Builder Pro, Old School, Quick Builder.
Switch players might find the smaller thumbsticks less optimal for precision, so adjusting sensitivity and possibly enabling aim assist can help.
General Tips:
•Sensitivity: Lower sensitivity for precise aiming, higher for faster building and editing.
•Deadzone: Set low to minimize stick drift but high enough to avoid unintended movements.
•Customization: Take time in Creative mode to test different setups.
•Aim Assist: Useful for controller players to improve accuracy, especially on consoles.
Remember, the key to mastering Fortnite controls lies in finding a setup that feels natural to you, which often involves tweaking the defaults or using community-recommended configurations. Practice in Creative mode to get accustomed to your controls. |
