Fortnite has introduced a new feature called ‘Simple Build’ to help novice players with easier building mechanics. Surprisingly, some players are finding this new setting more challenging to use compared to the previous default controls.
For those interested in trying out the Simple Build feature, here is what you should know about this recent addition to Fortnite. Additionally, I will explain how players can disable the Simple Build setting and return to the traditional Fortnite building system.
The Simple Build setting streamlines the building process in Fortnite Battle Royale matches by reducing the number of buttons needed for construction. Instead of separate buttons for different structures, only two buttons are now required.
One button is designated for floors, ramps, and roofs, while the other is dedicated to vertical walls. Players can create ramps in various directions by simply looking where they want to go, allowing the Simple Build system to handle the construction.
The intention behind Simple Build is to provide a faster building experience without the complexity of multiple button combinations, especially catering to new players unfamiliar with building mechanics.
However, Simple Build may not always be the ideal choice in every Fortnite scenario. Some players have encountered issues, such as not building the desired structure, leading to fatal fall damage.
Furthermore, players proficient in manual building will likely outpace those using Simple Build. The key is to choose the building option that aligns with your playstyle.
To enable or disable Simple Build in Fortnite, navigate to the Settings menu and select the ‘Game’ tab. Locate the ‘Simple Build’ section to toggle the setting on or off. Adjusting building keybinds in the menu allows customization of buttons for ramps or floors, tailoring the controls to individual preferences.
Experiment with different configurations to find the optimal setup for your gameplay style. Which building mode do you prefer in Fortnite?
