In Fortnite, you need to be at the top of your game to ensure a Victory Royale in as many matches as possible. Although this will ultimately come down to your gameplay and skills, your settings play a vital role in determining your fate. It is often argued that keyboard and mouse are superior to controllers when it comes to FPS games. However, this is not the case in Fortnite.
Fortnite allows players to tweak a host of various settings in order to customize their gameplay to match their style—even featuring a Color Blind Mode to help people with visual impairment! While the values of all settings will slightly differ depending upon your personal preferences, there are a few essential settings you must take into account. In this guide, we'll tell you all the important settings configurations you should implement when playing Fortnite with a controller to get the edge on the battlefield.

It makes building almost instantaneous, while also allowing you to perform more actions. You may choose to re-map a few controls according to your personal preferences, or simply practice and get used to the default Builder Pro layout.
