The addition of Zero Build was revolutionary toFortnite. While many players enjoyed key aspects of the game, such as its unique graphics and art style as well as its fun gimmick items and fun mechanics, they weren’t fans of building in their gameplay. This became a much more common issue as the skill gap grew among the community, making the game too easy for those who went out of their way to master building and impossibly hard for those who preferred to keep it casual.

Epic Games introduced the Simple Edit setting toFortnitein an attempt to make building more accessible to everyone. However, there is no doubt that Simple Edit isn’t for everyone, and some might want to turn it off, and that is exactly what this guide shows how to do.

How to Turn Off Simple Edit in Fortnite

Simple Edit allows players to edit their structures inFortnitewithout manually having to pick which panels they want to edit in or out of their build. Instead, the game will automatically do this by analyzing where the player’s cursor is aimed. While this sounds like a great way to simplify this feature, it can also be frustrating as it requires more precision when looking at the structure.

Epic Games wanted to push players to use Simple Edit and recently added a pop-up with an option to turn it on. Whether players did so on accident or willingly so they could try it out, they might’ve realized that it’s not for them and they’d rather play with Simple Edit off.
