Here\u2019s how Fortnite could close the gap between console and PC players Epic Games could make cross-play in Fortnite a whole lot fairer with one simple change to the game\u2019s control settings. The developer\u2019s decision to make Fortnite a cross-platform and free-to-play game are two of the biggest contributors to its success, lifting the restrictions other titles have for those who want to play it. However, with those benefits comes the great challenge of making it a level playing field between those using a controller and others using a mouse and keyboard. One simple change could achieve just that. In a post to the Fortnite BR subreddit, DeadCell_XIII suggested that Epic introduce a system which allows console players to sync up buttons with different parts of the inventory, meaning players don\u2019t have to stand still while scrolling through their loadout in-game. \u201cThis system binds each inventory slot to a specific button press of the should buttons\u201d the Reddit user explained. Check out a more detailed plan of the \u2018Quick-Switch\u2019 inventory controls below. \u201cThis allows you to know exactly what you have to press to get to a specific weapon type, without taking your thumbs off the sticks. You can change which buttons access which gun type simply be re-arranging your inventory.\u201d The user suggested that this could be added as an option, rather than default, allowing console players the choice between sticking with what they have already, or enabling this in the menus. A controller doesn\u2019t have as many buttons as a PC player\u2019s keyboard does, however, that can be worked around by including double tapping options \u2013 DeadCell says. The most recent change to controls made by Epic Games was the Builder Pro preset, which made it a lot easier for those on console to build at high speeds. Whether or not the developer will go a step further and add a \u2018Quick-Switch\u2019 feature in the future remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
