One of the predominant keybind layouts for gamers lies around the WASD region. Gamers are accustomed to using these controls, and therefore the entire keybind should be set up around these four keys.

Gamers must note that the keybind setup should be done so that it is easily accessible and comfortable.

The WASD should be reserved as the movement keys as they form the basic setup. Weapons should be assigned numeric keys just above the alphabet keys.

The following list will reveal the weapons and their associated keys:

• Harvesting Tool: 1
• Weapon Slot 1: 2
• Weapon Slot 2: 3
• Weapon Slot 3: 4

It isn't easy to reach beyond four with the WASD setup. Therefore, gamers are advised to slot the remaining two weapons in X and Y, respectively.

For other actions such as sprinting and jumping, gamers should follow the following setup:

• Reload: Tab
• Jump: Spacebar
• Crouch: Left Ctrl
• Use: E
• Sprint: Left Shift

To build structures in Fortnite, the following setup can be used by gamers:

• Floor - F
• Stairs - Q
• Roof - R
• Wall - C

To access the inventory, gamers can use the 'I' button. The 'M' button can be assigned to access the map of Fortnite.

Mouse settings for Fortnite beginners:

• Shoot / Construct: Left Mouse Click
• Switch Construction Materials / Target: Right Mouse Click
• Build Roof:: Extra Mouse Button 1
• Build Stairs: Extra Mouse Button 2
• Build Floor: Extra Mouse Button 3
• Build Wall: Extra Mouse Button 4
