10 Tips Every Controller Player Needs To Know In Fortnite Zero Build (Fortnite Controller Tips)

[@alexrosales868]

Ninja gave great advice on sensitivity. He said to put it really low and every time you die because of sensitivity, turn it up. Once you start getting more and more kills, you can find where it’s best for you. Creative would be a good way to implement this method!

[@ScottJelly]

I use nintendo controller with 30 fps which is absolutely garbage

[@soisauce5934]

I'm sorry it has to be that way for you...

[@RaidenGG]

For me, a Nintendo pro controller was one of the biggest game changers on Switch

[@neobahumut707]

Pro controller for sure.

[@Not_Kaitlyn]

As a switch player, I've just gotten used to it. But whenever my brother plays Fortnite on his ps4, I'm just like "this is amazing!" 😂

[@EFED07]

Yeah this is the scenario where you actually should have the mindset of your hardware holding you back unfortunately. If you want to do everything you can to improve on there since that’s what you have now, I respect that and all power to you, but your focus should be saving up for a ps5 or Xbox if you want to ever compete at a decently high level! 60 fps is one thing, but even those players I highly recommend upgrading to the newer console if you are actually serious. 30 fps vs sweaty people on 120 just isn’t gonna work haha

[@chrismckitrick1064]

Just wanted to say i appreciate the in depth of your videos. You're definitely making me a better player since ive been watching your vids 🫡

[@EvolveJake]

Thank you im happy they have helped you!

[@thedrandi]

Hi, Jake I've been using the new quick weapon settings and I actually mapped the jump button to L1 and has actually helped a lot on movement.

[@hilowe52]

I use a Scuff Instinct Pro, on PC, I couldn't be without it, is well worth the money, the trigger stops are amazing and the back paddles are a game changer! Great video, I'm going to switch vibrate fully off and see how I go, thanks for the advice! 😊

[@jasontomljanovic]

Another timely content drop following the pulse of what your community is looking for. Excellent work - keep it up! ⭐️

[@kdd4638]

I remember I started watching your channel for aiming advice when I changed from a switch to a gaming laptop (w/xbox controller) in May this year and I was so so bad that I was going to give up the game 🤣following your advice helped me get over the change and it continues to help so keep it up!

[@EvolveJake]

W im glad my videos have helped you enjoy the game more

[@_sebastian1015_]

I use the Gamesir G7 SE on Xbox Series S. It uses hall effect thumbsticks and has 2 back buttons. Very reliable, 0 stick drift after 3 months of use.

[@residentcojo8498]

I use a PlayStation controller. Thank you for this video. I've been watching some similar videos but no one seems to explain the thought process like you. I appreciate it, now I have to apply it and practice! You are incredible.

[@thedarkone7887]

Isn't there a third option for keeping your hand on the right stick? You can configure your binds so that you jump with L3. That way you can do jump shots without taking your fingers off the stick. Been doing it for years

[@Mocorn]

I'm on Ps5 with the original controller. I didn't know better so I actually activated the Gyro setting on day one. By now I'm very used to it and thanks to it I can easily control any recoil. The twinmag is juicy, DMRs feel good and I am lethal with the combat SMG etc. The one thing I'm lacking is close range with the shotgun. I have to ADS to activate the gyro so in close range I'm really gimped since you don't actually want to ADS with shotguns.. I've thought about getting a paddle controller and have the gyro on/off on a button for this reason. I've tried without the gyro but recoil control is tough with only sticks. Am I they only one actually using the Gyro setting?

[@JCsMyth]

I can’t imagine not using the gyro feature, it just makes aiming so natural and intuitive

[@tmoney1487]

DMRs are underrated i swear i beam people with them. Diamonds thermal is goated. If the twin mag wasnt in the game i feel like the DMRs would be used more than the havoc

[@Mocorn]

@@tmoney1487 love the thermal! Plonk-plonk-plonk dead enemy :)

[@Passeiporaquit]

How do you set the configuration of the gyro settings?

[@Mocorn]

@@Passeiporaquit honestly just what felt good from the sofa. Not as much sense up/down as side to side. I sister until it felt natural and went with that.

[@Electr1ce]

I had an AIM controller for about a year until stick drift. It was really great until that happened. I'm using a dual sense edge now. It was hard to switch from four paddles to two, but I'm used to it now.

[@CaptainSugarToes]

Do you ever want to go back to four paddles? What buttons did you use on four paddles? I use a dual sense controller and I use jump and crouch for the back paddles

[@ckaz007]

Using paddles is a must if you want to improve your play on a controller. I use two paddles, one for jump and the other for weapon swap, and it has improved my close range fighting immensely. Thanks for the tips Jake. Your channel has helped me improve my game over the first year I have been playing Fortnite.

[@ThisIsSinzu]

Carry me on fortnite bro

[@vtrxxperps4]

​@@Osterhaaasesounds mad dumb fr

[@Luis-bx4dt]

Which one is which because I have that but I think left is jump or shot and right is swap

[@alexm.8674]

Which controler do you use?

[@michaeldc951]

I have 4 paddles on my controller but since I stopped playing builds I never use them. I’ll have to do this. Those are the only things I think I’d use!

[@keeganslijker2513]

I bought a dualsense edge for the paddles. I find it hard to get used to them as I've never played with paddles before. I also find the recoil on the twin mag unbearable and I was very good with the red eye and mk. Anything over like 80m is basically pointless for me to shoot at. Just cant get the recoil down. Long range my gun literally jumps like 2 inches up on my screen even when tap firing, it's wild.

[@vapelordthenord8235]

your ads sens shouldn't be above 16% probably your issue put it to 11%

[@Electr1ce]

I couldn't use a twin mag with the dual sense edge either until I upgraded to a 120Hz TV. The increased frame rate really made that much of a difference.

[@CommanderCycloneCyclone_9000]

11:47 when you say bushes remove aim assist does that mean if you’re in the bush, or if who you’re shooting’s in the bush

[@EvolveJake]

either way

[@maslic]

PowerA Fusion Pro 3 on Xbox SS. It was a huge step up for me binding the four back buttons to jump, crouch, sprint and build.

[@richierich1587]

With the aim pro controller can you separate building and editing on a Xbox controller?

[@EvolveJake]

you can do that on any controller you just make them each action its own button in the keybinds settings ingame

[@markkuehn4922]

X box elite series 2 w paddles. My jump and reload are left back paddles for maximum stick contact. Also has 3 setting for trigger and aim sensitivity for normal or if you prefer hair trigger settings.

[@andypanda889]

To solve the thumb issue on a ps4 controller format, at least for Zero Build, i've changed (X) to (L1) and (Triangle) to (R1) so it came to be very comfortable swapping weapons back with (X) and forward with (Triangle), having jump on L1 and collect with R1.

[@jerrehmanneh4499]

Hey Jake I have paddle control but I play on 60 FPS TV. Do you recommend a switch to pc monitors and my controller Sen is 29 I reduced it so I can control my hipfire and track people. It's true sometimes is slow to turn around but if I increase it my aim goes because it's too fast

Left stick aiming and hipfire are going to be good tips, as a battlefield veteran it goes against years of my experience in shooters so will deffo take time getting used to

[@commandertexclips4724]

i agree with allot of your tips but i draw the line at turning off controller rumble. your pointy is valid that it cant help you in any way strategically but it helps immerse you so much more that i think it makes me better

[@peterbennett6914]

Hi @EvolveJake, do you know what impact different types of screens have on playing Fortnite? I play on a big TV screen in my lounge, but I think computer monitors have a faster refresh rate than TVs.

[@EvolveJake]

Yes typically playing on a monitor is better if you care about how you play

[@Mister44]

I'm too old to use claw, and too cheap to buy an after market controller. So I changed my jump to left analog stick and it took a min to get used to, but now I am must more active in a fight, and I never accidentally start to run in a fight when i don't mean to, which would kill you as you can't shoot while sprinting and it takes a tick to pull your weapon back out.

[@CantStandDaQuan]

Left stick aiming is top tier, also don’t give up on the play, you might make something happen in a shoot out lol. It’s crazy the things that happen.

[@buddiex1469]

Im currenly playing on xbox one with a Gamesir G7 SE controller which has Hall Effect sticks zero stick drift i have my ingame deadzones set to 5/5 as thats the lowests you can set it wondering if you think i should go up a few notches as you said the min setting wasn't ideal. Or was your opinon based on amount of drift?

[@cxsmeticzz322]

Hey bro im on like 28-28 x&y sense it feels okay for hip firing but like you said when im in close range and kids are jumping over me or round corners it can be a pain to be reactive what sense do you recommend i try bumping it up too?

[@EvolveJake]

ya I would just bump it up and try to get into at least the mid 30s cause the better players you run into are definitely going to move enough to throw a really low sens off

Can you do a how to build on control video?

[@bytetacos]

I play on Xbox series X with a fusion 2 controller with 2 paddles. And have recently switched to the new fortnite quick weapon swap beta and use LB for weapon swap. My paddles are sprint and crouch I tried the newer controller gamesir7 and it was aweful, buttons are hard and had so many glitches with it. My biggest challenge is with game sense and hip firing. So much that i have to go in a creative map to force myself to hip fire.

This past Tuesday was the last game I played and I won with 14 elims using a Nintendo controller😅 So it is possible. I can tell when I am playing someone who is really good but...if you dont square off against good players, how do you get better.

[@Cirdec444]

I only play zero build because that's when I started playing FN. You can just play bumper jumper which means Jump is L2 and crouch is R3. Translates perfectly from playing COD. Backbutton attachments always felt weird.

The people who say they’re at a massive disadvantage because they play on controller just say that to excuse themselves from the fact that the other player was better, let’s be real lol. I play on controller so I would know.

[@Luger_]

I see you using soaring sprints in you’re background gameplay, why? i think it’s annoying because pushing someone that’s behind cover in the open is gonna make doing that very slow, giving the opponent a good shot on you at right side peak. And if you wanna get away and you sprint just it’s gonna make the time between jumping and getting behind cover way longen. The only reason i see why you would use it is because you can create more distance between enemies with shockwaves. Let me know

[@EvolveJake]

I like using it with shockwaves if i want to go further and being able to do the jump in some close range fights is nice as well as the ability to avoid fall damage. it does have its downsides tho you do have to be mindful of how you use it.
