As a Fast Editor i can confirm freebuilding in a perfect manner. You can develop perceft building sync, inhuman editing timing, perfect crosshair placement and good aim. Maps are not needed, freebuilding is the best and fastest way to get incredible mechanics and aim

[@howlfym]

freebuilding definitely one of the best ways to practice. i got a video on that coming out in a few weeks

I have been tryna find a tutorial for this but couldn’t ngl as they just promote their maps. But you go thorough into detail. I used to have good crosshair placement but I got washed like very bad. I lost to players I considered bad. Thank you so much for a helpful tutorial. Hopefully I get unwashed 😅.

Playing valorant and reaching immortal really help me with cross hair placement on fortnite. I’ve been playing claw for a while but finally decided to switch to kbm, and im on my 5th day rn and im already more mechanical than I was on controller and I was nowhere near bad on controller. Also play a lot of aim training like Kovaaks and you’ll notice a huge difference.

[@muntingmonkey]

Do u play in pc or console? I’m on console and would think abt trying to switch to kbm but the input delay might be too bad idk

[@IssacLikesMochi]

i wouldnt recommend going to kbm on console, the input delay and frame drops as well as the max fps is too low so its not worth. try claw or paddles instead.@@muntingmonkey

Can you teach beginner retakes? I don't know how to freebuild, because I only know a few ways.

[@howlfym]

Ill make a beginner to advanced retake video sometime soon

[@yugengh]

my issue is that this doesn't work for me since I constantly have 100+ ping, because I'm located in Africa. I play on EU server which is the closest to me. I could never double edit at that speed no matter what. it takes more time to be able to edit the second one. the timing is different for higher ping.

[@jj2570]

if i practiced the moves you showed in this video and just play a nromal crosshair placement maps for a couple months will my crosshair still be like yours?

[@RacingFN]

The thing I do right is eaditing efficiently so the next edit is easier

[@UldisBiz]

Currently, in Fortnite you can adjust building and editing sensitivity separately. Do you use these settings or just leave them at 100%? I'm an old noob trying to get better. My mouse sense is close to yours (6.2 on 800DPI). It seems 200% building sensitivity helps me build faster but I'm afraid it might be the wrong move in the long term as I may lose precision. Just don't want to create wrong habits. What's your take on this? Thanks.

[@RobertIsLazy]

yeah keep it the same 100% and you'll get used to it also if you think about it you're making sure you're efficient with crosshair placement and building and not spazzing out

[@itsKhii]

I’ve tried putting them up a bit but it messes with my muscle memory because I’m used to having everything be the same. Personally I don’t like it.

@@runecappelle1075 off is better

[@lilgoat7601]

​​@@runecappelle1075it really depends on your play style if you like flashy game play quick edit go for it but you have to have good movement and crosshair placement so after editing you can line up a shot it also depends on how fast your sens is to but if flashy gameplay is your goal use edit on release and if you want to be more consistent with shots and piece control edit on release should be of, but as I said earlier if movement and crosshair placement is good than edit on release is the better option.

@howlfym thanks bro, I'm on controller and recently I changed my binds cus I want to get better than I am, and I can see results already I don't have to take my hand off my joysticks all the time now, I always used a Power a Infinity controller it came with 2 paddles but I didn't use it properly and used left paddle sprint and left other paddle as nothing, now since I don't like jump on my right paddle I use right stick to jump and a to slide or crouch, and left paddle is to pullout builds and right is to sprint, I'm going to be doing a progression video soon where I show how much better I've gotten at the game with just changing binds and having to not let go off the joystick can be hard but it's so rewarding due to you being able to get better at every aspect of the game like peice control more efficiently, fight, jump and build and shoot at the same time, but yeah if you read this thanks once again. :)

yo guys i wanted to ask smth: everytime i double or triple edit i playce a cone afterwards and i just cant stop it. After i placed a floor and a cone i edit but the cone is still selected, and after i edit my finger is still on M1. I really tried to stop, but the time between stop pressing M1 and selecting a stair or whatever other build i want to place afterwards is just too short. Does anyone know a fix for it or is it really just a skill issue ?

[@SynxsMedia]

I had the same problem before it's more of a skill issue thing, if you place the cone you can switch to a ramp right after placing a cone so you don't get the problem so when you edit it will place a ramp instead. it's all a little practise and some muscle memory and you will be good

that has absolutely 0 to do with your crosshair placement. I worked since 8th grade and got my pc when I could afford it. If you aren’t old enough to get a job then you just have to make the best of what you have but your specs are not limiting your crosshair placement in any way.
