Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the procedure on how to quickly edit on Fortnite , I think it might interest you to know more about this “technique”.
Well, “editing” essentially means modifying the constructions that can be built on Fortnite. Let me explain: one of the peculiar characteristics of Epic Games’ Battle Royale is the possibility of defending oneself or obtaining positions of advantage over the enemy by building structures in wood , stone and metal .
Put simply, you can use these materials, which can be obtained by destroying in-game elements or by finding them around the map , to make walls , doors , floors , roofs , pyramids , ramps and traps .
Clearly, the latter can be combined with each other, building, for example, a closed structure , a tower and so on. These creations are able to protect your character , as they have a certain amount of health points , which varies depending on the material in which they were made.
Furthermore, these structures are used, for example, to position themselves in an elevated position and surprise opponents. In short, building on Fortnite is very important, but if you have arrived in this guide you will probably already know it, as you know that Battle Royale is a frenetic genre, which requires you to carry out these operations in the shortest possible time.
It is precisely for this reason you want to learn how to quickly modify your creations, since your goal is to catch enemies off guard by suddenly changing the conformation of the structure, right? Then ban the chatter and take action!
How to quickly edit on Fortnite
After explaining in detail what “editing” means, I’d say you’re ready to take action and improve your performance on Fortnite.
How to quickly edit Fortnite PS4
Fortnite is a heavily played title on PlayStation 4 , so you may want to learn how to change structures quickly from this platform.
To explain how to do this, I’ll look at a practical example. One of the most interesting elements to modify are the walls . In fact, once positioned on the ground , it is possible to add doors to the latter.
This can allow you, for example, to get out of the structure much faster, as you don’t have to destroy the wall but simply go through the door. It is also a modification that can be done in no time.
All you have to do is walk over to the wall, press the controller’s O button , quickly select 2 blue squares (one on top of the other) and use the O button again . To exit the door, you need to press O again .
As you have probably already guessed, a first simple method to improve the editing speed in Fortnite is to keep in mind the key sequence to use. So here is a very interesting example that you should try several times.
Once you enter Creative mode , in which you can do all the experiments you want without risking being attacked by other players, you just have to quickly press O, R2, O (to be held for a few moments), R2, movement of the right analog , R2, O, O . Finally, to exit the door, you have to press the square button of the pad.
Going into more detail, what you have to do is activate the construction mode (key O ), place the wall (key R2 , the wall is the first element selected by default), enable the edit mode (by holding down the key O briefly ) , select the first square ( R2 key ), move the right analog over the second, select the second square ( R2 key ), apply the changes ( O key ) and exit construction mode ( O key ).
In short, I can understand that this is a somewhat “cumbersome” method, but I can assure you that, by keeping this sequence in mind and repeating it many times, you will be able to build this structure quickly. To carry out my tests I used a preset called Fast Builder , designed specifically for those who want to learn how to build and modify quickly.
To activate this preset, just access the main menu of the Fortnite Battle Royale , press the Options button on the pad, press the X button on the controller on the SETTINGS item , move to the controller icon (using the R1 button ) and select the preset Fast builder .
Obviously, what I have shown you are just basic techniques to try to improve the speed of modification in the Battle Royale of Epic Games. For example, I recommend that you try to change the squares to be modified , in order to see the various possibilities offered by the individual elements. Also, you could try doing height tests , for example by modifying the floor to go down a tower as fast as possible. In short, the limit is your imagination.
If you are interested in the subject and want to learn more about the construction of the other structures, I suggest you consult my guide on how to build on Fortnite for PS4 , in which I also illustrated advanced techniques to build quickly, such as that of “90 degrees” .
As for the pad , you might be interested in taking a look at my buyer’s guide on the best PS4 controllers . Within the latter, you can in fact find many interesting ideas, including pads designed mainly to be used with Battle Royale titles.
How to quickly edit Fortnite PC
Being a cross platform game , the PC version of Fortnite does not differ much, except for the obvious differences in terms of controls and options, from that for PlayStation 4.
This means that you can safely follow the instructions I gave you in the previous chapter . However, in this case we are talking about a title that is mainly played with the mouse and keyboard , and not with the controller.
The sequence to be used to quickly build the structure that we have shown previously varies, therefore, in Q , the left mouse button , G , left key , mouse movement , left button , G , Q . To exit the door, you need to use the E key on your keyboard instead .
Again, I recommend that you try everything in Creative mode . For the rest, some pro players are used to changing the default keys as far as construction is concerned. For all the details of the case, I suggest you consult my tutorial on how to build on Fortnite for PC , where I have illustrated some “tricks” in this sense that could be useful.
In addition to this, you may be interested in learning more about the world of accessories . In fact, on a computer it is possible to move much faster than on a console, so it is important to also take a look at specifications such as the DPI of the mouse . For this reason, I recommend that you consult my buying guides on the best gaming mice and the best gaming keyboards .
