Appearances can be deceiving, and Fortnite certainly fits the bill as one of the most surprisingly complex shooters on the market. Between combat, building, editing and more, there are so many keybinds used in even a single game that having them in the right place could be the difference between a win and a loss. If you’re looking to up your game, you’ll want to ensure all your keybinds are easy to access when you need them most. That’s why we’ve put together a guide for the best keybinds in the game to help you do just that. We’ve also included a few examples from pro players in case you want to try those out as well.

Our Fortnite keybind setup is made so that the most important actions such as building and editing are easy to reach so that once you get used to it, you’ll be able to quickly and efficiently pull off anything you want without fumbling around for the right button – the same is true for controller settings, too. If something doesn’t work for you, feel free to tinker with it until you find something you like. Here are our recommended keybinds:

Fortnite pro player keybinds

While our keybinds are for your average player, you might want to try out some of the keybinds used by the most accomplished players in the world to see if they help your game out. We’ve picked out three players with unique keybinds to try out:

✓ Pro settings

While it might be tempting to go with a pro’s settings (they are the best, after all), ‘good’ settings won’t automatically make you a better player. It’s better to use something you’re familiar with than to force yourself to use something uncomfortable that simply doesn’t work for you.

Tfue’s Fortnite keybinds

Tfue’s keybinds are similar to ours, but instead of having most of the building and edit options bound to mouse buttons, he chooses to have them bound to keys near WASD. If you don’t like using mouse buttons or don’t have a mouse with many buttons, this might be a good option for you.

Mongraal’s Fortnite keybinds

Another player known for his building, Mongraal has another slightly different setup, this time with even more emphasis on using your mouse buttons to build. Here are his keybinds:

MrSavage’s Fortnite keybinds

Last but not least, we’ve got MrSavage. His keybinds are similar to our recommended ones, with a focus on balance between building/editing and combat. If you like ours but it’s not quite right for you, give this one a go:

After setting up your keys, also check your graphics settings, no matter which platform you play on. After that, head on over to farm some XP by using some of the best XP farming maps currently available.
