Fortnite PC Controls - Keybind & Keyboard Control Guide

Everyone knows by now that fortnite is a trend right now and we all definitely want to try it out to know what all the hype is about! Fortnite's Battle Royale is basically a complex blend of survival, shooting and building. The game clearly has a lot of elements in it and requires any new user to give it a few hours of gameplay to understand and grasp knowledge on all the elements. This will clearly give an upper hand to those who understand the game as opposed to the rushers who assume the game to be any other third person shooter.

We also know for a fact that everyone jumps into the game as soon as we are done downloading it without knowing the keybinds or any other aspect of the game cause it's brand new and we are in a rush to experience the game, but that is not going to help us get any better at the game. The default keybinds are very uncomfortable to play with and is often impossible to reach as the keys are very far apart from each other.

We wanted to make an easy to follow guide that you could learn all Fortnite battle royale controls from, as well as some ideas on what keys you may want to rebind for a smoother and better gameplay experience. This also means that there are a lot of controls and keybinds to learn when it comes to either fighting the enemies or even during build battles.

The idea here is to grasp some idea about the gameplay and then rebind the keys to whatever the player feels comfortable with so that their fingers can move by themselves when needed.

DEFAULT PC CONTROLS:

These are the default controls that exist as soon as you open the game. But as they are very far apart from each other it is very tough to be agile during play time as the fingers might find it a bit hard to reach two ends of the keyboard. Though this is the default settings, do feel free to edit the keybinds to however you feel is best suited for your game style.

MY CUSTOM KEYBIND

After playing Fortnite Battle royale for over a thousand hours this is my keybinds that I feel are very comfortable for both build battles and ammunitions combat at the same time because they're all close to each other and provide me with a very smooth gameplay.

For starters, everyone can definitely try out my keybinds but take your own time and make changes if you feel it is necessary for you to become better in the game. This is the general process of mapping your own keys to actions to improve gameplay.
