5 Tips To Successfully Change To Builder Pro In Fortnite Battle Royal

Many of you may be questioning why so many players are able to utilize building for attack and defensive purposes so smoothly to win battles, while you're stuck on the ground. The answer is that the players are most likely playing on the builder pro controller layout(see pic below). This layout changes how you build while maintaining the same buttons for combat as combat pro. The builder pro layout allows you to build multiple building options(such as a wall and stairs) nearly at the same time because you do not need to scroll to select what you would like to build. Now that you see the benefit here are 5 tips to ensure a successful transition to learning builder pro.

1. Do not get discouraged and commit to the change: Making the change will be frustrating and you will make mistakes at the beginning that cause you to lose battles. Once you change COMMIT. The worst thing you can do is change back to your old controller layout and then confuse the two. 
2. Play Consistently: Play at least once a day until you feel that you have fully mastered the transition. I personally found  from changing to builder pro that if I did not play for an extended period of time that I would be rusty. This is because developing your muscle memory to the new layout is the most important aspect of the transition.
3. Utilize Playground Mode: Muscle memory is everything. Play on Playground mode where you do not need to worry about your opponents. Resources get collected with a hire multiplier. Playground mode is an excellent practice mode, build away.
4. Learn The Protected Stairs Building Formation: Builder pro allows you to build while still taking an offensive strategy. The protected stairs building formation allows you to rush an opponent, while getting higher ground safely. As you are building up with stairs press RT and RB before pressing Lt to go up another level. The purpose is to prevent the opponent from shooting out your stairs. Click here and see for yourself (starting at about 11 seconds).  Fully Protected Stairs Video
5. Quick Build Towers: This defensive building technique is easier to apply then the protected stairs formation and provides excellent cover. If you are taking fire simply press B to open up building, the hold down RT and spin in a complete circle. This will put up walls on all 4 sides of you. Once you are done press LT to make a stair. You can build up as high as you link by repeating the same process.
