Quick weapon is amazing! So fast! The original way will feel so slow and cluncky after a week… promise!
i had a meltdown when it disappeared last update. I can't play without it and my scuf style controller now. lets me be a total sweat lmao
The best thing about quick weapon is that it gives you an extra button, which I use for jumping. So now I don't have to take my hands off the stick when trying to jump, it's basically a scuff controller
I use quick weapon, jump with L1, total game changer for me. Everyone on controller should give it a chance
Like the others here you really need to set L1/left bumper as jump, honestly it's so good. Finally us filthy controller casuals can aim and jump at the same time.
Fortnite should allow all the buttons to act differently when holding r1. Say you didn’t have enough buttons to have a sprint button or a maybe a ping button, well then you could easily add that action to R1 + L1. If they did that then they could add even more actions that otherwise wouldn’t have worked since the controller didn’t have enough buttons. You have almost double the buttons if they used my idea. The only thing stopping them is that everyone would have to use that new layout if they wanted to use the new actions fortnite would implement which casual people and little kids wouldn’t want to do and the game would be unfair since they couldn’t do these extra actions. Still the base idea of having every button being fully customizable while hold r1 would still work.
just jump with l1 bro, I use quick weapon and I jump with L1, 100% game changer
ohh i see what ur saying. ill try it out!
@@MFBuddy_YT try trust me, you just have to give your muscle memory time to adapt. sorry my bad english!
Been doing this for a while too! Actually did it cause it was better to bunny hop in Quake like this.
same, I re-assigned the L1 button to jump and X to crouch-slide. Which is neat for controller players without paddles.
I did the same before I got dual sense edge.
Absolutely agree :)
Yooo! Thank for the feature made me day haha🤟 you definitely picked it up quicker than me I’m nearly there though after about a week. It definitely isn’t perfect but the main benefit is freeing up the LB to use so you have an extra button you can use without having to take your hands off the stick, especially when you have a gatekeeper and every shot has to count😅😂
Awesome video keep up the good content!😎
love that you did a vid on this, Buddy! i'm pretty new to FN (just started playing back in December) and i only started using QWS in the last couple of weeks. gotta say...i dig it a lot right now. not having put in tons of hours with the OG cycle through with L1/L2, i was able to adapt to it pretty quickly and it feels even better than the default-ish setup i had going. getting the right bind customization has been a journey, but the closer i get to the perfect combo, the more i like it 👍
I LOVEEE the quick weapon swap. Freed up my L2 and if you have inventory preferences set the muscle memory comes pretty quick. Puts you almost at the same speed as a KBM player with weapon swapping
I do have it so that the L1 button can switch like it always did you have to go to the key binds on controller so you can switch normally with the L1 or switch between your two weapon slots with R1
I agree with your conclusion. I feel like for ppl who just couldn't feel comfortable with the old way of swaping weapons this is great, but that's not me and while at times I still get griefed because things don't swap how I want trying to change now would just confuse my head
def was a learning moment for me! it wasnt as bad as i thought it would be tho!
I would agree especially for Zero Builds, I don't think your "missing out" if you don't use Quick Swap. And it definitely requires a time investment. I also play builds in Battle Royale, and I'll admit, that single swap back to Slot 1 and 2, in combination with my other build and edit mode buttons, really does push the value of this forward a little more.
But I understand most of this audience likely doesn't play builds, or does not primarily play builds, so it matters less.
I love it personally. I know I always have my shotgun and secondary weapon whenever I need it without any misclicks
Great video! I’ve heard they’re still updating quick weapon so in the future you may have the option the disable square, triangle, circle & X and just make it d pad. I changed to quick weapon and haven’t gone back tbh. It takes time to get the muscle memory down but once you do it’s much faster imo. The regular swapping felt limiting with the delay in between swapping items. It’s easier not having to constantly look down at my inventory or count out my taps to ensure I don’t launch a med kit at my opponent.
love this and glad it's working super well for you! also thank you for the comment and im glad you enjoyed the video!
Interesting. I do tend fumble weapon swapping on occasion. Quick weapon sounds worth a shot.
Always love seeing another take on it. To start I never list ANYTHING as game changing personally. These are all variations on preference and what works best for each player. Overall, once I adjusted to it, I prefer Quick Swap over normal Next/Previous weapon swap.
I'm sensing there are some differences based on default button mapping between Playstation and Xbox controllers. I play on an Elite Series 2 with 4 bumpers. I personally did not have any bindings to Place Marker in my instance. Also, you did miss one other setting under "Controller Mapping". You can pick which button activates the Quick Weapon feature. On Xbox Elite, the default is RB which is what I left it as.
My personal settings are:
- Show Diamond Delay = Disabled
- Toggle Behavior = Slot 2
- Instant Toggle = On
The instant single click swap to Shotgun and single click swap between Shotgun and Slot 2 is VERY nice in my opinion. While I organized my custom weapon slots already to take advantage of this, I would sometimes notice it when swapping to heals or mobility items which I would tend to have in Slots 3 and 4. I use the Instant Toggle to go between Slots 1 and 2 and then hold RB and hit the appropriate button for Slots 3-5.
I would argue that mis-selecting the slot is equally as likely using Quick Swap as with the original method. In Quick Swap, I might in the moment choose the wrong key when I'm trying to swap to Slots 3, 4 or 5. But with the original method I would often "over shoot" the slot by rapid pressing the weapon swap buttons too quickly.
In short, it takes effort to get familiar with. I think it's worth it to have one click jump to specific slots. I prefer it. But I could easily go back to the original method as well.
really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this and what you are using for your binds! really good insight and i can tell you are very familiar with it all!
Iit took me a while to get this down but when fortnite took it away for that day or two I literally couldn't play the old way. I didn't think to use L1 for jump though cuz I press L3 sometimes when I don't want to
As a person who plays on quick weapon and is unreal I say make the switch it’s quicker
Hey, just wondering what map do you use with like all those henchmen? Also great video, so far i haven't tried it out yet but you are explaning it.
This video and the comments should be game-changers! I'm definitely trying this tonight. I'm so sick of dying because I can't get my bunker or shock out fast enough. Did you end up staying with a quick weapon?
I concur. I wish u could customize a bit more. I wouldnt even mind if the left paddle just swapped between 1-2. Then the right just goes right.
I use it exclusively without the diamond. I use R1 to switch between slot 1 and 2. The I hit B plus Y for slot 3 and the B plus A to get slot 5. B alone is slot 3. This is amazing. I would never use the diamond. This is on a elite pro 2 Xbox controller.
It's just practice bro. You're 10x better than me, and I NEVER pull out the wrong weapon after like a week or so of practice.
Quick weapon let's me take all my movement binds off my L3/R3, which I love.
The L1 bind is slide for me (not ping), square (left back paddle) is sprint, X (right back paddles) is jump.
Plenty of people flub buttons when new. After a week or so, I just got muscle memory to hit R1 and Circle/Square/X/Triangle, or whatever, at the exact same time and don't think I've ever pulled out the wrong thing in months
Helpful video. Please give an update after the trial period. Cheers! 🍻
I did a double take when I saw my comment to your previous video at 12 seconds in this one. I’ve been using quick swap for about 8 weeks now and I wouldn’t want to go back to the old way. Ideally, I’d love to have quick swap on R3 (the stick) and jump on L3 but when I get into a fight I constantly press them accidentally. My compromise was to have quick swap in R1 and jump on L1 (I’ve had jump in L1 for a long time anyway). I don’t even notice the diamond pop up, I just have 0.00 delay set. I didn’t like having to take my hand off the right stick to press 🔺⭕️❌ so I did mess around on PS4 by going into the PS4 settings, accesabilty, and swapping those buttons to the D-pad. It works fine in game but it’s very confusing out of the game. As I said on my original post, if you have 4 back buttons, you can have one as the quick swap, and map the other back buttons to the 🔺⭕️❌ so that you have a back button for each weapon. I hope somebody finds this useful.

Appreciate you taking the time to comment brotha!!
fire video bro!
Appreciate it @quixxx09 ! thanks for the comment and watching!
I would hate changing a core function like this, as it would probably take a while for me to adapt to it. It does look like it might be very helpful for controller players, though. Being able to swap to your sniper or a mobility item in an instant, vs having to scroll through three items is pretty cool. It also frees up a button, which means I could finally have an extra bind for jump besides x. I might give this a try one day. It seems like a decent option that has been hated on maybe a little too much?
ive been swapping one by one so long that i honestly can do it so quick. so i havent been able to fully feel the time saving quite yet, but i see that theres something there that is valuable!
Appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your thoughts!
Personnaly, I'm still a fresh Fortnite Player I started using it pretty fast after my beginnings and I can't play whiteout it, It's juste perfect for me.
Yea, I never liked weapon wheel swapping systems in games...
Also would there not be some kind of extra input delay using this feature?
I think tapping right bumper/R1 twice to get to slot 3 will still be quicker... as long as you got the weapons in the same slots consistently when you play... even with the new swapping system probs still a good idea to have weapons in same slots your used too..
Im so used to just swapping the normal way, I dont see the point in switching it at all...
If your a person who does not like the regular swapping method... then it might be a better method for some players... and its cool they added this as an option ...
Personally im not gonna switch to it...
Ok cool, someone who actually made a vid on this. I’ve used QW from day one, and here’s MY review. You should listen:
1. QW is R2 (replaces Previous Weapon), Fire is R1, Jump is R3, Pickaxe/Next Weapon is Triangle.
I use Scuf Reflex Pro w/4 back paddles; each paddle is mapped to all four face buttons.
2. Hit R2 and designated paddle for instant weapon I choose w/out scrolling. Disabled QW diamond and have Instant touch on for immediate shotgun.
Total game changer for me. Wouldn’t play any other way.
Took me a few minutes in Creative to get mechanics down, but I’m sold.
People knock it, I love it.
Rock on, dude. 😎
Do u crouch uncrouch during fights
@@boubi9329 you mean do I spam crouch while shooting? Answer is no, I don’t. IMO, only tool-bags and wannabe sweats do that. They all die just the same. 😎🤘🏻
@@Raddadinkoreagaming Then do you jump ? Anything you do during close ranged fights ?
I push R3 as my option and I use back paddles for X & O and claw for triangle. Literally never touch LB or RB
I like QWS (Quick Weapon Swap)... I just wish that LB could be another quick swap slot # for another option... like quick swap from main to sniper or mobility slot.. then RB for main to slot 2 (SMG or AR)
yeah that would be super cool! theres actually a lot more potential for this that i dont think we are seeing and maybe wont see for a while. but i agree it would be nice to be able to use that and just guarntee that i end up on shocks, heals or whatever!
@@MFBuddy_YT True. I’m still getting used to it but I feel it’s way better than LB RB cycling through my inventory. Definitely an improvement for controller players.
I always thought this would be good but I’m hesitant to use because I don’t want to be taking my thumb off the stick to swap weapons.
I have just started using a 4 bcak paddles was wondering if i can congif them n not bind to other buttons
Is there a way to set the weapon optopns on the wheel to something other than the face buttons?
Using paddles, So you could assign jump to L1 and then assign your back paddle to L1 to free up X? This should work right?
We got the ww2 shotgun trench meta this season lmao
LOL 😂
Hey in a couple of days can you please let us know if its something you'll be switching to? And/or how you like it?
Is anyone else experiencing swapping and physically holding say a smg but your shotgun is highlighted and you pressed to swap to the other weapon but its just doesnt? ( I know its experimental i think this might be a bug )
Did you change your sensitivity? At 12:15 it looks like your using s super slow one
dope vid homie, whats the name of that skin?
Warfare!
Why Does Toggle Sprint turn on with this feature on? Is there a way to turn it off, I have the setting off but it’s still on with quick weapon switch
Tbh I didn’t notice that so I’m not sure!
why not R3 to jump?
Upshall uses this and swears by it. He made a video on it that may help you.
Damn I forgot about that guy, cheers for the heads up
What happens when you configure your weapon slots
I'm confused. I use a Sony Edge controller. So if I use L1 for jump, what is my back paddle set to?
Right back paddle would then be bound to L1 if you want your right paddle to be jump
Some call me the fastest man alive. This is because i do not use quick weapon swap
LOL
I always thought the fastest man was Lucky Luke. 🤔😁
Quick weapon I would say is “same, but different” as far as how good it is vs regular weapon swapping. I don’t think it’s “better” per se, but it’s definitely better for some people. I would say it’s probably better for non paddle controllers. That being said I’m still on standard DS and don’t use quick swap because I’m a dweeb 🤓
another person just lmk to maybe change l1 from being ping and bind that to jump. that could be helpful for me as someon with paddles. also i agree it is the same, but just slightly different. i cant conclude yet that its game changing tho
@@MFBuddy_YT nah, make jump R3 and slide L1. Way much betterer.
@@Trial88 hmmm...this might be the way. just gave it a spin and i kinda love it
@@_stricks this is the way
No sound?
there is sound!
