how do you turn off simple build in fortnite

To turn off Simple Build in Fortnite, you need to change a setting in the Game

Building options so your building goes back to the classic controls.

What Simple Build Is

• Simple Build is a newer setting that makes building use just two inputs and auto-chooses pieces based on where you look (up for stairs, forward for floors, etc.).

• It is enabled by default for many players in Chapter 7 to make building easier, but it removes some control that experienced players prefer.

How to Turn Off Simple Build (All Platforms)

Follow these steps from the lobby or during a match:

1. Open the main menu (the three lines / pause menu).
2. Select the gear icon to open Settings.
3. Go to the Game tab (the one with general gameplay options).
4. Scroll down to the Building section.
5. Find the option called “Simple Build”.
6. Toggle Simple Build to Off.
7. Apply/Save changes at the bottom.

After this, building will use your regular per-piece bindings again (separate buttons/keys for wall, floor, ramp, roof).

Extra Tips and Current Context

• Simple Build was added around Chapter 7 to help newer or returning players get into builds faster.

• If you ever want to try it again, you can re-enable it in the same menu by toggling Simple Build back to On.

• Nearby in the same settings, you may also see Simple Edit options, which change how editing works but can be disabled separately if they feel too restrictive.
