I wana stick with default binds because im already half decent with it, can do 2 quad edits in a row and freebuilt decently. I see the potential of switching but i am too scared to

hey I'm trying to figure out if I should switch my binds and if my binds are holding be back

q stairs f wall c cone v floor g edit I hit f c v and g using my thumb. are these keybinds holding me back

Hey guys, thanks for the help last post about my keybinds, i reset everything and try to bind it based on everyone answers, pros keybinds, and my own hand position, and i think i found my keybind i could settle with

Wall - Mouse button 5 Floor - C (thumb bind might be tricky but I'll try to get used to it) Ramp - Mouse button 4 Cone - Left shift Pickaxe - X

Rn, im still currently deciding on what bind should i use for tactical sprint, currently its on capslock. I also need to decide to what to do on those free binds like Q, F, V and Z

Lmk what you guys think! Thumb bind is very weird to press without accidentally hitting the space bar lol

Just bought a pc and trying to figure out what binds I should use (never played keyboard before). I’ve seen several ppl say wasq is better for movement keys because you only have to worry keeping your ring and middle finger around your movement keys and can have binds you’re going to press with index while still being able to move right. What’s the general consensus on whether or not this is worth learning? How much of a benefit is it really? The only major argument I’ve come across giving me pause abt it is that when I play games with counter strafing like Val or CS, I’ll be at a disadvantage. If you guys have other arguments either against or for I’d love to hear them.

In order to build something immediately after an edit with EOR off you can buffer your turbo build buttom while confirming edit with your keyboard. Letting go of an edit confirms it so you can't really buffer the turbo build input with EOR on. Is there a way to do this with EOR on?

I saw a video on tiktok saying the ice breaker has a sound which i can also hear in the video, but in game creative br and reload i cannot hear the pickaxe wield sound. This also happens to the fiendish wand. Please help, maybe there is a setting in the sound panel?

....or is it really a must that i buy a mouse with more buttons than left and right click?

LF 4th for Fortnite Squads – Save Us from This Absolute F***ing Liability

We need a new 4th for Fortnite squads ASAP because our current guy is absolute dogsht. We don’t know how he’s survived this long IRL, let alone in-game. Here’s why we’re done with his bullsht:     •    He NEVER lands with us. Either he jumps straight out of the f***ing bus like a maniac, or he decides his “vibes” are better at some random hill in Narnia.     •    If he does land with us (rare), he immediately grabs a pistol, runs off, and dies to fall damage.     •    Building? Who needs it? His idea of defense is crouching behind a bush and hoping for the best. Spoiler: it’s NEVER the best.     •    Communication? Forget it. Dude’s got his mic muted half the time, probably because he’s too busy rage-punching his controller after dying in the first 30 seconds.

We’re looking for someone who can:     •    Actually stay alive for longer than a TikTok video.     •    Stick with the squad—it’s called Squads for a reason, dipsht.     •    Shoot straight. Aim assist exists for a reason; please f**ing use it.     •    Call out enemies instead of screaming like a banshee when shot at.

If you’re even halfway decent and can drop more than 3 kills in a match without making us want to uninstall the game, you’re in. Bonus points if you’re funny, reliable, and know how to actually ping something useful.

Send us your Epic ID and a promise that you’re not another bus-jumping dumbass. Help us get some wins and save us from the tragedy that is playing with this clown.

PS: If you’re cracked, we’re ready to fake his death and replace him permanently.

West coast and mountain standard times usually play anywhere from 6pm - 11pm 7 days a week. 18+

I switched 6 months ago from controller.

I’ve only played fn for a year and my solo win rate on KBM is double that of controller BUT I definitely struggle with movement.

My question is, how and when should I be using w and my mouse to move, vs using diagonal movement?

For instance, in a ZB setting, let’s say I’m coming from the Frog POI on north part of map and rotating to The Lake POI. I’m in an open area with no cover and spot a player 50 yards away on top of a building, and he spots me and opens fire.

To my left 25 meters is cover. Since I’m currently moving forward when I spot the enemy, would I hold down w and whip my mouse quickly to go left, or would I use diagonal to change direction?

Basically for quick direction changes and jukes, is using w and mouse best, and if so, when is using diagonal appropriate?

I hope this makes sense.

Bonus question: would using a keyboard with socd be allowed and beneficial?

i searched how youtube and i cant find how

For a quick overview, my build button is r3, and my edit button is holding r3.

I currently have my edit hold time set to .250 (longest time option) but used to have it at .180. That’s what I found the best at least.

Basically, for the last couple days, I’ve been accidentally editing, rather than switching from builds to my weapons. It has screwed me over in basically every fight and normal build games are practically unplayable.

I was wondering if there was any way to make my edit hold time longer than .250 or if there’s another setting to try and fix the issue. I’ve never had a problem since recently and it’s driving me insane

Sorry for the yap.

I'm so fucking stupid. I don't know why, but I just can't play this game. My brain genuinely is not turned on. I autopilot every game and I just run into people's pumps, make dumb edits and don't think in general. Has anyone experienced something similar?

I play ZB so it’s crucial to have my movement smooth as possible. I used 75, 90, 135 until chapter 6. Now I lose all momentum like I’m over the minimal angle. Has anyone had to change their settings for this?

Sometimes switching strafes will cause character to come to a dead stop for half a second and it’s not good

Title.

Do certain weapons appear "quieter" by not showing up past a certain distance? sniper vs silenced pistol from 100m kind of thing.

Do footsteps appear x distance, but sprints appear on visual indicators sooner?

Trying to get a feel for the mechanics of this stuff

My googlefu failed and I'm not sure how to test this by myself. Figured someone out there knows.

I just feel awkward pre piecing rn in freebuilds. It feels like sometimes im just tarping after a freebuild idk if theres combos i should i learn or if i should just use it more in game to practice and not bother with freebuild. Lmk any combos, maps, or tips yall got

this is my current build keybinds

Wall- mouse5

Floor-Q

Ramp-E

Cone-Shift

Edit key on release-F

Sprinting-c

Crouch-Ctrl

when im freebuilding my hand does hurt and plus i have small hands so its a bit hard to build expessially with my pinky finger

so what are the better keybinds for me to try out?

I have been playing 1v1s for nearly 45 minutes, switching opponents after every few games, and I quite literally have not gotten a single kill, because everyone I go against spams triple edits faster than I can 90 and then full boxes me, and peeks perfectly so I cant even see them.

Its so demoralizing, im about to start playing zero builds

Hi, So I've been researching ways to improve my gameplay and I've noticed that scroll wheel reset and the auto confirm reset option have practically the same functionality so the question I'm asking is, which one is better? And should use both of them or is one superior to the other?

I've been playing Fortnite for about 2 years (controller) and I've always struggled with editing/building I'm good at aiming but when it comes to building I don't know how to do it. I've tried to learn so many times but I get nowhere. Any help/recommendations?

Hi I'm a noob. I've been doing pratice maps the past few days, and one of the exercises is the Single Edit Up: Ramp -> Cone -> Edit Cone -> Repeat, all while moving upwards.

My question is: do y'll click after each step? Or do you hold the mouse button?

1. Press Ramp -> Click to place build -> Press Cone -> Click to place Cone -> Edit button -> Release to confirm -> Repeat
2. Press Ramp -> Click to place build -> Hold and press Cone to place Cone -> Edit button -> Release to confirm -> Repeat

Which one of the two is your preferred method? Or do you use a different method altogether? Thanks in advance!

Yoooo, looking for a decent duo partner or squad. I’m 33 and mostly play with my 3 brothers or guys from college. I have gotten pretty decent at the game and they are well…. trash lol. They mainly just don’t really care about the game and getting better and I get so frustrated losing to a team and I know if I had a decent partner it would be an easy win. I’m super laid back and chill and if you’re like super young or talk just to talk throughout the whole game then we probably won’t vibe.

Also, I am pretty good but I am not claiming to be super great or whatever… so if you’re just a little above average that works if you’re way above average it would be right to learn from you.

Hi, I want to start improving at the game and my mechanics however I'm struggling to find good and comfortable keybinds which i feel is holding me back until i can fully start to practice and commit. I currently have a razer cynosa lite as my keyboard and a razer viper ultimate.

I've tried using 2 mouse buttons on wall and build with q on cone, c on floor and v on edit since you can have free range of motion whilst editing and this feels ok however at times the mouse buttons feel too hard to press/too slow and a bit awkward compared to if I had them on the keyboard also i've tried having 1 or no mouse buttons and I cant really find anything feels really good and comfortable, they all have their downsides. So should I just stick with mouse buttons and use them or use something else im not sure?

Any advice and suggestions will be really appreciated thanks.
