<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Hey all,

The Turbo Build delay adjustments we made yesterday to subsequent structure pieces placed have been changed back to their previous value, 0.005* seconds. Your ability to perform “90s” and “waterfall” should feel exactly the same as it did before yesterday’s changes.

We’ve also added some of the “Next Steps” that were mentioned in yesterday’s Turbo Build Changes blog. Now when a structure is destroyed, there will be a delay of 0.15 seconds before another structure can be placed in the same location. If two or more players attempt to build a structure in the same location at the same time right after a piece has been destroyed, a random roll will now determine which player’s structure is placed. With this, we aim... Read more

Hello, all.

If your Android version of Fortnite is telling you to reinstall the Fortnite Installer to update to v10.20, you can work around this by opening the Fortnite Installer directly. We are working to resolve this issue in the meantime.

We wanted to drop in and provide some context for the changes to the Turbo Build timer.

What Changed in v10.20?

We returned the time between subsequent Turbo Build placements from 0.05 seconds to 0.15 seconds in v10.20. This was the value used up to v4.30.

Why Change Turbo Build?

We did so as a first step addressing several problems:

  • Rapid Turbo Building favors players with low ping in disproportionate ways.

    • Taking walls (racing with another player to place a wall before them)
    • Turtling (continually rebuilding a wall that is taking damage)
  • Turtling disproportionately favors defender

    • E.g. holding mouse button vs. squad shooting at 1x1
  • Building piece placement accuracy

    • Easy to accidentally place multiple pieces “at once”
  • Spam building

    • Easy to spam build
