How to Switch Materials on Fortnite: A Quick Guide
Last updated
Ever found yourself in a sticky situation in Fortnite, needing to switch materials quickly? Well, you’re not alone! Figuring out how to effortlessly switch between wood, brick, and metal could be what stands between victory and defeat.
Today, let’s demystify this: How do you swap your building materials in Fortnite? It’s as easy as pie once you know the ropes.
Quick Steps to Swap Building Materials
Switching materials in Fortnite is straightforward. If you’re playing on PC, simply right-click while in the building mode. For console players on PlayStation or Xbox, tapping the left trigger (L2 on PlayStation and LT on Xbox) does the trick. On Nintendo Switch, it’s the same deal—tap the left trigger. For mobile players, a tap on the material icon in your build controls switches materials.
The game automatically cycles through wood, brick, and metal, in that order. Remember, each material has its strengths and weaknesses, so choose wisely based on your strategic needs. Wood builds the quickest but is the weakest, metal is the strongest but takes the longest to finish, and brick sits comfortably in the middle.
