"Fortnite Battle Royale" is big on both computers and consoles, as millions of gamers play it worldwide. While PC players have a huge advantage when it comes to building and editing, Epic Games is trying to narrow the gap between PC and consoles, and make everyone play on a level playing field. Even though console players can choose a different controller layout, there is still one thing that needs to be done in order for console players to have a full control over the game.
Builder Pro, which is the latest controller layout, made building on console much easier and faster.
It allows players to put down a building piece without having to cycle through different pieces first, which was a big improvement. However, the game developer will soon allow console players to make a custom key bindings, and that is something that will make building even better and more enjoyable.
Controller improvements
Epic Games has recently added the new controller layout and allowed players to disable aim assist while editing building pieces. The game developer also announced that a custom key binding would soon be added to "Fortnite Battle Royale," which means that players will be able to assign different functions to their controller buttons.
At the moment, PC players can change their entire keyboard and mouse configuration, and that is one of the biggest reasons why they have a big advantage over console players.
While PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players can choose between different controller configurations, they cannot edit every button separately. Instead, they have to use predefined buttons for each function.
This upcoming change will not only help console players match up against PC players much easier, but it will also separate bad console players from good ones, and good ones from amazing ones.
Custom controller configuration will be an essential part of "Fortnite Battle Royale" console experience, and it will help players get even better.
More upcoming changes
Epic Games announced that a new limited-time game mode is being worked on. This mode is called Playground and will allow players to engage in fights against their friends.
There will be up to four players in a lobby, and players will get more resources which will allow them to build more.
Additionally, it seems that a new trap and a new grenade will come to "Fortnite Battle Royale." The latest datamined info suggests these items could come to the game very soon.
