editing has to be one of the most
important parts of building in fortnight
I found that a lot of my friends who've
been playing the game for months they
finally figure out building and how to
build it up and given all these battles
and ramp rush and all that good stuff
but they still really don't know how to
edit and so I'm gonna go through the
basics of editing we're gonna start from
the very beginning before we start to
get into advanced stuff I don't want to
overwhelm you guys I know editing can be
crazy watching Nick a 30 cypher PK and
all these prose editing it just they do
it so fast it's hard to wrap your head
around so I'm gonna show you a player
that's not quite a pro player and show
you guys my thoughts on how to start out
editing and then maybe you can start
learning from the best if you play
fortnight on console or if you have it
on PC with a controller make sure that
you have edit mode aim-assist turned off
so you can see it right here it goes on
by default so make sure you have it off
it's made my game way better and I
highly recommend you guys use that
setting as well so going back so let's
just take a look at editing right here
so obviously editing I understand this
I'm not naive is way easier on PC than
it is on console to start up editing on
console you have to hold that o button
and that brief little pause right there
causes editing to just not be as quick
on console and it's a little bit more
clunky so I wish you could really start
mapping it to a different button like on
PC you could just press a button to
start editing and that's how they work
so fast and then when they're doing this
type of stuff they can just use their
mouse which is just so easy and so quick
but nevertheless let's get into editing
just a couple of tips I have for you
real quick and that goes with the
editing reset so let's say you're
editing a piece just like this if you
hit down on the right stick so you can
see it right there up in front of the
screen you hit down on the reset and
then confirm that you can easily reset
these builds very quickly and you can do
a whole variety of builds just in a row
pop off a shotgun shot get right back
behind your cover and I really recommend
you start getting used to this it's
gonna let you really spice up your
fights by getting off shots and
quickly resetting that getting behind
cover maybe going back up top doing a
little bit of edit there reset and there
you go so guys make sure you get really
used to that reset make sure you have
the right settings on and let's get into
all the different pieces of editing in
this video alright guys welcome to the
edit arena
you got Kol here and we're showing you
guys the most basic edits and the most
practical ones we're gonna be starting
with the wall and going through every
single piece that you can possibly edit
in the game and giving you the most
practical edits that you could really
use as a beginner to editing and then
we'll be showing you some gameplay
what's each one as well so let's get
into it okay so we have the corner edit
right here I'll show you guys there you
go right there and you can really do
this in multiple ways you can go up top
you can edit the left side as well every
corner really but what we have found to
be the most effective is the right side
because it allows you to do the right
shoulder peak preferably in this
position right here if you're really
facing somebody on the same level look I
can hit I gotta hit chapter right now
real easy if I wanted to but really what
this one is so good for is obviously you
have your doors in this game but if
you're using these to escape and build
battles it's really quite slow to edit
that and then do this you have to do two
motions right there whereas if you're
trying to escape out of a box in the
middle of a build battle you got to do
stuff really quickly especially if you
want to win these build battles so
that's where this comes into play to get
out very quickly it's just one quick
motion so let's say you're in a bill
battle you're in this box right here
somebody's over the top of you and
you're trying to build out you can just
really quickly go like that change
directions and get yourself on up and
recalibrate the fight so yeah guys
that's that and we're gonna be showing
you guys some live gameplay of using
this edit in action alright guys so
we're showing chapt he's gonna get the
high ground right here on me I'm gonna
build up kind of box myself in he's
building he's shooting at me over the
top I'm gonna show you real quick just
building back up kind of botching my
build right there
we're gonna build backup for that high
ground chaps sitting right there I'm
gonna get some aim assist is actually
off in this game mode but we're gonna
land some shots and get them down so
there's a real quick example of just
using that using that triangle just like
that okay kind of kind of broke right
there but using that triangle just like
this to build yourself up to the high
ground then using that to turn around
and get yourself that high ground back
see like you can even use it multiple
times in a row whatever you need to do
it makes a quick escape out of your
current builds just like that make your
way down whatever you need to do with it
onto using the ramp and what's the best
most practical use for beginners and
ramp editing goes we got the basic ramp
peak we just want to talk about this
first when you're editing a ramp you can
actually see through it they may have
nerfed seeing through all the other
materials but you can actually really
use this effectively so you can see I
can still see chapt in there just
chilling nice little pink teddy bear but
now this is the most practical one it's
very simple just editing one single line
so you'll see me drop down right here
and shoot chapt boom and he's dead very
practical use right there and we can
show you a quick build battle right
after this I guess I didn't actually
need to shoot chapter right there but
yeah sorry about that okay and a one by
one situation everybody if you get the
high ground over somebody like I just
got over chaps you can quickly edit down
and luckily he was on 51 health so boom
just like that drop down over them and
ramp rush and get the kill
moving into one of the more basic pieces
we have the floor so you can see right
now we got a nice little box here and
I'm on top of a floor that I can edit so
what you can kind of do is you can kind
of look through it's kind of hard to do
it with the latest update but I can see
chaps is right down there I can edit
myself down by taking out these pieces
like this if I edit like this I could
maybe peak a shot in at them edit it
real quick peak a shot back this way or
I can try to confuse them drop down and
shoot them right in the dome so it's
very very effective to use floors
especially if you want to escape build
or if you want to drop in on somebody
like that rant brushing at each other
chaps is coming up top I'm gonna lay a
Laure beneath and drop down looking for
him looking for him I can lay another
floor and then drop down right below
keep on hitting up now he's gotten above
me so I'm gonna ramp brush back and see
where he's at and fresh my way up now
he's down low still and I'm gonna come
over here do that and he's down just
like that guys so there's Mary many ways
that you can use this in ramp brushes
and build fights really easy and it
looks like we're still putting down the
beat down on chap tier it's almost as if
he's not really fighting back onto the
roof piece this is another one that's
pretty basic and it actually isn't used
that often except for the pros at the
highest level I'm gonna show you just
real quick you can use it to edit out
this floor real right here and you can
use it as extra protection say
somebody's over the top shooting at you
he uses his extra protection right there
and I can lay another roof and then
escape by editing up the roof making it
a ramp and then look at this I can
double ramp right out of there and do my
little count counter build and get
myself back that high ground over
Chapter boom boom I could shoot right
back at him real easy he would let me
kill him cuz he's a nice guy helped me
out with the video and easy just like
that guys there's really not that much
to the roof so we're not gonna go into a
game play for it but you can use it in a
variety of ways I'll show you real quick
just the the nice ways that you can edit
this you can do that you can build it as
a side piece and let me show you as well
we're gonna build a little bit higher up
here let's say that you're building a
1x1 in the middle of the game and you're
peeking over the side you're looking out
at these mountains and you want to make
sure nobody shoots at you from behind
you can do this place the roof right
over above you edit that and now you
have a nice little way you got a nice
little look here and you know if you
start getting shot from behind you can
easily escape and go back the other way
so guys that's gonna do it for this
editing guide thank you to chapt for
helping out and yeah we got the basics
of editing down you guys are getting
your steps towards getting better at
fortnight and thanks so much for joining
in this has been cold and chapped from
the road ebro's we'll see you all in the
next one
