If you press Pickaxe > Build > Switch Weapon, it always defaults to your 1 slot, no matter which weapon you were holding to start the sequence.
If you keep your AR in your first slot, you’ll need to switch weapons twice to get to your shotgun which will cost you precious time.
Decrease Deadzone For Better Aim
Deadzone is dependent on your controller.
For maximum accuracy and reaction time, you want it to be the lowest possible value without getting stick-drift.
Left Stick Deadzone | 0 (increase if there's stick-drift) |
---|---|
Right Stick Deadzone | 0 (increase if there's stick-drift) |

Fortnite Controller Presets
There are 4 distinct controller presets in Fortnite

The default option for controller players.
Note: This preset can be too slow and awkward to use
Quick Builder Preset
Quick Builder works alright, but Builder Pro is just the better option.
Combat Pro Preset
A great preset for aggressive and frag-minded players.
This preset can be difficult to use when building.
Builder Pro Preset
Pretty much the pick for Fortnite controller players
Builder Pro is the most popular and best controller preset there is.
