Fortnite Battle Royale

Be interested to know what keyboard/mouse you guys are using and what binds you have set for building/weapons.

I've been struggling with muscle memory and find myself choking in encounters where my building just comes to a standstill and I literally just freeze and get owned.
 
Anybody fancy playing sometime? Add me on epic - Matty8787

I use Q for pickaxe then 1-5 for weapons (struggled to reach 6 consistently).

X/C/V for walls, stairs, floor & MB5 for roofs.

I get into very similar situations to you in fairness, my muscle memory doesn't seem to work as fast as I would like during build fights - probably getting too old for this **** lol :rolleyes:
 
It's actually a much harder game than Battle Grounds. Especially making the most out of building.
Rebinding keys helps massively. A few weeks a go I pretty much turned my bonds) binds on their head. An almost complete rework of what keys I use for playing. All my building was originally on my mouse, and I started to realise that it was way too easy to hit the wrong key and end up spamming floor instead of walls.

So I swapped my binds so that walls (Q), floors (shift) and ramps (R and E) were all used on separate fingers. Weapon slots 1-4 on now on my mouse, as well as traps (scroll left) , reload (middle mouse) and use/interact (scroll wheel down) It took me about a week to get used to it, and I felt helpless pretty much every game I played, but I'm almost used to it fully now and very rarely press the a key thinking it was on my old binds.

It's made a big difference.
 
If you want to 1vs1 in playgrounds I could do with the practice? Epic name in above post.

I can help as well if you want. I've got a decent amount of wins and quite like playground 1v1s (or 1v1v1v1.)

See my post above. The muscle memory can take a while to settle, but you've got to keep reinforcing it.

Cheers, I will try your binds and see how it goes. I am pressing the wrong keys way too often and just building something an architect would vomit over.

That sounds like a really good idea actually - very logical.

I think that's where I run into trouble sometimes, using my index finger for X/C/V often leads into pressing the wrong key - may revisit my binds later on, the hardest part is getting past the initial stages where your muscle memory keeps going for the old keys...

Lol yeah, if I had a dollar for everytime I put a wall in front of me instead of a ramp, I'd be a millionaire by now :D
