Hello, trusty Reddit Fortnite players.

***Stay with me, I’m looking for the best controller settings and I’m getting lost***

I’m fairly new to PS5 (I used to play a lot of PS2 + PS3) so I’m loving this upgraded, 'premium' gaming experience… especially on Fortnite because the graphics are nuts.

Anyway, I’ve become addicted to Fortnite fast. I play twenty-ish solo games a day (maybe i'll win two?!) and I’d say I’m pretty decent for a complete Fortnite newbie (I used to play loads of COD)… however I keep seeing controller settings on TikTok that make me feel like I’m missing out on something.

What I’m confused about is that everyone posts these super specific 'best settings' but never really says if they’re actually meant for:

A) the console you’re on (PS5 vs PC or whatever)
B) what controller you’re using (standard PS5 or other off-brand ones)
C) the Fortnite Chapter / season we’re in (which is another kettle of fish I’m still trying to understand???).

Also, do PC players genuinely have a better experience? e.g. higher frame rate, better visibility, seeing people from further away etc.? Surely not… but if that is true, can you turn off cross-console matches? Or will this take me forever to find a match?

And sorry if these are super basic questions, I’m still learning the ropes and some Fortnite info online is so confusing because the mega Fortnite nerds speak in a different language (and I mean that with the greatest of compliments).

If anyone can point me towards some actually useful setting modifications for someone at my level playing on PS5 , I’d be eternally grateful.

Plus, if any #WLW players want to team up (or just anyone friendly) let's do it.

Ta in advance!

As an older player on controller, I understand settings come down to preference etc.

However, are there a couple of things about the settings that need to be kept in mind for someone on controller, who doesn't play claw and is strictly a zero build player needs to keep in mind?

I've noticed a lot of the look sensitivity the pros use is based around builds and flicks to one pump. But surely zero build has a different foundational requirement?

I've tried precision rings, grips etc and nothing really helps the awkward feel of aiming on thumbsticks, plus i'm an inverted player.

I'm currently running at,

30/30 look
8/8 ADS
With 10/10 deadzone.

Some days I laser people and other days with the same settings I'd make a brilliant storm trooper.

I've often just thought of going 4/4 default and taking the good with the bad but I actually want to enjoy the game.

Any ideas or tips?

I'm on ps5, no paddles etc, just standard controller. Just trying to find that sweet spot between ads/hipfire and turning quick enough to identify an enemy position.

Help is much appreciated.

Cheers.

Hello contestants, I would like to ask your advice for changing my controller settings.

I play on PS5 with a standard controller and I am looking to tweak my settings to have quicker but stable aim. I generally play Medium these days, and usually use an iron sights Pike or Famas red dot/coyote. I do also play light but don't main that anymore. Light I would use most weapons as I quite like them all.

I don't want to be able to 360 in 0.05s or anything, but I also don't want to just change random settings bit by bit and it take forever, or change loads and not know which particular setting isn't working.

Could anybody advise on specific settings to have a look at that will help with:

Target tracking at close to medium range? (You know when the enemy is side stepping back and forth)

And...

Moving from aiming at the body to aiming at the head and limit risk of whiffing?

Feel free to eli5 why you recommend the particular setting, I like to understand exactly what it does and why it works.

Thank you kindly.
