Ninja Believes that Fortnite's Turbo Building Setting is Broken

Building is one of the key features of Epic Games' Fortnite Battle Royale that sets Fortnite a part from its main competitors in the battle royale genre in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) and H1Z1, as it allows players to engage in very unique and entertaining battles in their quest for victory royales. 

Having a strong understanding and high skill level with Fortnite's building mechanic is a major factor in the separation of Fortnite's good players from the bad. Understanding how important the building mechanic is to the Fortnite community, Epic Games has introduced updates and new settings to help in making building smoother and better performing.

One of these updates was the implementation of the turbo building setting back in February 2018. Turbo building soon became the preferred setting for the building mechanic in Fortnite for the majority of players across every platform the battle royale title is available on, as it allows for players to continue their build by holding down the building button instead of having to press it repeatedly. Unfortunately, Fortnite players have begun to notice problems with the turbo building feature that include the setting not creating the building structure that the player wants when holding down the build button. 

Well known Fortnite Twitch streamer Tyler "Ninja" Belvins recently was a victim of this problem with the turbo building feature and voiced his frustrations on his stream after being eliminated because of the issue with the setting.

With Fortnite's most popular community member in Ninja stating that the game's turbo building is not working as intended, Epic Games has no doubt taken notice of the setting's issue and is likely working to diagnose the problem and implement a fix, as the last thing the developer wants is to have a significant problem plaguing one of the main features of its popular title.
