Fortnite pro player proves that Turbo Building is broken in Fortnite Turbo Building can be an extremely convenient mechanic to take advantage of in Fortnite, but its bugginess can also prove to be a major liability. Turbo Building is a feature that allows players to rapidly place multiples structures, such as walls, ramps, and roofs, without having to individually initiate the building of each one. However, many players, including 100 Thieves pro Sir Dimetrious (SirD), have publicly complained that the mechanic is faulty and does not always build structures where the player intends it to. This issues can obviously be lethal, since structures are often the difference between a player\u2019s life and death during in-game engagements. To demonstrate that Turbo Building is broken, SirD took to social media to post two videos, one of which is an experiment he conducted in the Playground mode. The video below shows him having a hard time placing a wall and ramp right after shooting his shotgun, all while Turbo Building is enabled. He then turns off the feature and uses a macro in his mouse software to place builds at the same rate as with Turbo Builds, and the ramp-wall structure is perfectly built each time. PSA: Turbo building is broken p.s I used to do this same move all the time using turbo build for many months pic.twitter.com\/wHQHyDP7Ar \u2014 100T SirD (@SirDimetrious) November 20, 2018 The second video he tweeted shows him having a similar issue while engaged in a gunfight with an enemy player. The video clearly shows SirD trying to place two walls angled with each other, but only one gets built. As a result, his opponent is able to shoot through the empty space and eliminate him, all because the build that was supposed to be placed didn\u2019t. Another example of how this can screw you over pic.twitter.com\/5wipnNsM1i \u2014 100T SirD (@SirDimetrious) November 20, 2018 This is clearly an alarming issue with a mechanic that is so widely used among the vast Fortnite player-base, and some, including SirD, are considering ditching it for manual building. \u201cI played a bit tonight without Turbo on and click for each build placement, felt smoother than using Turbo Build,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cPlaced my builds quicker following a shotgun shot this way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
