If you're looking for the best Fortnite settings on PC for a better, more competitive experience, then you're in the right place. This guide will take you through the myriad settings and toggles to ensure you're getting the most out of Epic Games' massively popular battle royale. Who knows, maybe these settings will help make you improve your skills?
So without further ado, let's begin!
Best Fortnite Settings: Graphics
Fortnite is a beautiful game. But as a competitive title, you need to ensure an excellent balance of visual quality and performance. Normally, the more FPS you get, the quicker and snappier the game feels. And in intense firefights, high FPS can spell the difference between death and a Victory Royale.
Here are the best general graphics settings for Fortnite, as shared by Charlie Intel:
- Window Mode: Fullscreen
- Resolution: Native
- Frame Rate Limit: Unlimited
- 3D Resolution: 100%
- Shadows, Anti-aliasing: OFF
- Textures, Effects, Post-processing: LOW
- View Distance: Epic
- VSync, Motion Blur, Ray Tracing: OFF
- Rendering Mode: DirectX 11
- NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency: On+Boost (for NVIDIA GPU owners only)
As you can see, the only graphics setting set to the highest is View Distance. By setting it to Epic, you can see enemy players, loot, and buildings miles away. Most of the time, seeing threats or landmarks way ahead of time is critical in surviving in the end. But if your PC struggles a bit with this setting, try going to High or Medium instead.
But if you have a very powerful PC, you can disregard this as you'll get excellent performance in any setting.
Here's how to check your total time spent on "Fortnite" on Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles.

Best Fortnite Keybinds
Since building structures is key to competitive success in Fortnite, you have to make sure that your key bindings are very easy to reach - more so in the heat of battle. If you can reach your keys easier, you can build faster and more efficiently and gain an advantage over your opponents far quicker.
Pro Settings shared these recommended key bindings for a more generalized "quick build," but maybe you have a few settings that you feel are better. Either way, these are more than enough to start with:
- Wall - R, Mouse Wheel Up
- Floor - E
- Stairs - Q
- Roof - Mouse5
- Trap - F
- Use - Mouse Wheel Down
- Building Edit - Mouse4, V

Sensitivity And eDPI Settings
To cap our guide to the best Fortnite settings, we can't of course, forget control sensitivity. This is determined by the ADS (Aim Down Sights) sensitivity setting. Many players will play between 50%-100% ADS, but a fair amount of people could also get by with 40%-49.90%.
The rule of thumb is to ensure that your ADS is more or less similar to your normal sensitivity setting. Pros say keeping these at the same level will help develop muscle memory for flick shots and other quick maneuvers. The same applies to your Scope Sensitivity, which many players keep at the same setting with their ADS.
But at the end of the day, it all falls to your preference.
