Fortnite players will have an easier time building walls after update

4.5
Update v7.20 will see an improvement to wall building.

Fortnite’s update v7.20 is going to roll out a change that will solve issues players are having when building a wall, specifically when it “builds partially below, or is obstructed by, the ground”.

Design lead, Eric Williamson, announced on Reddit that wall placement will be improved following the update, sharing before and after screenshots demonstrating how it will work.


“This feature will kick in when you attempt to place a [wall] that:

Requires a connection to a building piece
The connecting piece is at least 70% underground


Under those circumstances, the required connecting piece will now build automatically and for free. In addition, the connecting piece will inherit team ownership rules (and the material type) of the desired piece.”

I was never great at building so yes this update will be very helpful tbh.

Honestly I saw this coming with the new epic presents. I always wondered why they would sometimes be like one and a half boxes or ins one cases two. Seems like the same mechanics for what they are implementing. Cool to see but don't think it will effect much.

I don't get why they don't just let you build anywhere. Isn't that the essence of the game?
