The main aspect of Fortnite that separates it from other titles in the genre is the building component. This is what helped launch Fortnite into stardom and gain so much popularity within the community.
However, since this is one of the most important aspects, the construction is extremely difficult to master. One player may have more weapon skill than another player, but better building mechanics usually determine the winner of a fight.
So to master the build you obviously have to practice, but having a good set of keyboard shortcuts makes the concept easier. Here are our suggestions for the best Fortnite keyboard shortcuts.
Hotkey settings for beginner players
If you're new to Fortnite, some of the hotkeys the pros use might be a bit too advanced. So, we're going to give some hotkey settings that let you get into the rhythm of building without requiring a lot of gaming experience.
Build slot 1 (wall): mouse button 4
Build slot 2 (floor): Q
Build Slot 3 (Stairs): Mouse Button 5
Build Slot 4 (Roof): Mouse Button 3, V
Building Edition: G
Using mouse buttons to your advantage early on will be your best bet. These allow you to keep your fingers on the motion keys without having to do much with the mouse.
