To not compromise themselves by wasting time organizing inventory slots, players should configure their preferred item slots in the game’s setting. Those unfamiliar with this option in Fortnite should read this article as it will help players get it up and running in a flash.
How To Set Up Preferred Item Slots
The Preferred Item Slots option is well hidden in the Settings menu so if someone doesn’t know it’s there, it’s quite hard to even know it exists. To find the Preferred Item Slots setting players have to enter the menu and then select Settings. Then select the Game tab (second on the left) and scroll down to the Combat section - the Preferred Item Slots option is the fifth one in the Combat section.
To customize the inventory slots, the player has to select the Configure button. This allows them to assign a preferred inventory slot to a certain weapon or type time so when they pick it up it’ll automatically slot there.
There are five loadout slots in the Preferred Item Slots menu. Players can either leave them unassigned or assign them to Assault Rifle, Shotgun, SMG, Pistol, Sniper or Bow, Projectile Launcher, Utility slot, or Consumable Item slot. Later on, players can reset these preferences or completely deactivate Preferred Item Slots at any point.
After configuring these settings to their own personal taste, the player will immediately notice how much easier it is to keep their inventory organized without having to manually open it and getting distracted from the match.
Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices.
